If you’re looking for a round smartwatch that does fitness and core smartwatch features well in equal measures, the second-gen Active is one smartwatch worth checking out.

Familiar sporty look with two size options; Comfortable to wear day and night; Touch bezel works well; Easy-to-use software; Decent fitness-tracking features;

Software a bit clunky for sports tracking; ECG and Fall Detection not available yet; Battery life only slightly improved; Underwhelming app support remains; LTE model bumps up the price;

Think of this as a smaller, sportier version of the Galaxy Watch. Thanks to a fabulous display, good battery life for its size, easy-to-use interface, and premium finish, it's up there with some of the best-looking smartwatches on the market. But with the Active 2 now also available, the original model feels a step behind - unless you can find a bargain price.

Lovely design; Great build quality; Good price; Easy to use interface; Good fitness tracking options;

Bixby isn't strong; No rotating bezel; No LTE model; Tizen OS still lacks apps; Active 2 has more features;

Samsung's latest smartwatch drops the rotating bezel, but it gets most basics right

Comfortable; lightweight design; Reliable battery life; Good fitness-tracking features

Bixby is a poor voice assistant; Clumsy to use with non-Samsung phones; Fewer third-party apps than other smartwatches

In some ways, the new Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active is the company’s most radical smartwatch in quite a while. In others, it feels like one of their safest bets yet. Yet, in the moments when it all comes together, the Galaxy Watch Active feels like the smartwatch I’ve been wanting Samsung to make for years now.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active does more with less but, at the end of the day, you’re still left with less.

Great aesthetics; Cheaper price-point;

Battery life; No rotating bezel;

First off I quite like the watch for its smart watch capabilities. That being said, one of the main reasons i purchased it was for its sleep tracking and Unfortunately this does not seem to be working as well as expected.

Initially I was pleased with us birthday investment but in subsequent weeks have found it disappointing due to the small touch screen being difficult to operate the complex menus with old fingers. Unable to get watch on all the time which I want. Sync is unpredictable with Huawei P20 phone.

Purchased from 'ONLY BRANDED', the device was released in Romania, and as a result lacks Samsung Pay, the only reason I upgraded from my gear S2! The device itself is stunning, but do not buy from this seller as you'll be disappointed if you're seeking all the features.

I brought this as soon as it came out. Just months later the screen was cracked while I was swimming without me feeling any impact. Cost to fix the screen Almost $300. I expected more from a sports watch and better service from Samsung in terms of seeing this right.

In the deluge of all the new Samsung products announced during Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2019 , you may have missed the Galaxy Watch Active , the company's latest smartwatch. This would be a shame because it's actually a very versatile wearable.

Design and size will suit most wrists; Two straps included; Software is smooth and slick; Comprehensive fitness and health tracking; Heart rate sensor

No rotating bezel; Strong competition

The Galaxy Watch Active could be, besides the Galaxy S10e, the secret star of the Samsung Unpacked event ahead of the MWC 2019, because the sleek watch has a lot to offer. We took a closer look at the new wearable device for athletes.
