I've had the Active 2 for about 10 months now and it consistently lasts me about 3 days. Maybe it's due to the fact that I don't have it on Always On, but I go cycling at least 2 times a week and go for runs and walks on the daily, so I would say I use it sorta heavily. I have a Spigen case on it and an IQ Shield screen protector and it works great. For anyone looking to get it I would say it's definitely worth it and I actually prefer it over the Watch 3 (less bulky, longer battery life). I got the Stainless Steel 44mm LTE version... nice to have but realistically I always have my phone on me so I think for a lot of people the aluminum Bluetooth version is just fine.

I had the 40 mm. Ok ,but too small on my wrist. The sales people at and t pushed it on me. Great watch and fun but I tired of it quickly because of the size. So I ordered the 44mm ,looks much better , stylish, and the watch faces definitely look much better with bigger screen. The 40 mm stuck up too big on my wrist but 44 mm looks thinner and more sleek. I think I'm sticking with the 44 mm. I had the watch 3 version too. Looked great but didn't do anymore then the previous models. I sold it and am sticking with the active 2 44 mm. Great review, thanks and i subscribed.

A big issue that people who watch this video may want to note. The GWA2 has a weird bluetooth connectivity issue when paired with your earphones (especially the Galaxy Buds 😶). There's constant bluetooth interference if you put your hand down and walk. It only works decent-ish when your hands are less than a foot-and-a-half away from the buds. I thought maybe this was a manufacturing defect in the unit I received, but I faced the same issue with the replacement. This is a largely reported issue om Reddit, but it never shows up when you search for the watch. I was really disappointed with this, and had to return the watch. I'm not sure if you face this issue too Aaron.

Good review I think you need to add the size---> For larger size wrists make sure you get the 44mm I have it and it is on the last 4 holes on the band. Barely makes it. The face looks kinda small for me. (48mm would be better) on the fence on keeping it bc i know its for active use not for going out & showing off. Everything else works really good. I think its a solid SM for only (now) $200 bucks! BTW its just fun talking to ppl through the watch!

I've had the original Galaxy Watch for about 9 months now. I've had the same issues getting text message notifications. It's not consistent and misses most. Not having Google maps and Google assistant is definitely a con. Bixby is unusable. I've tried a customer google assistant add on, but haven't had that much luck with it as well. Overall though I do like the watch. I was going to upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 3 but so far I just haven't seen the justification in what I'd get in benefits for spending the additional money.
@gearupaaron3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Jonti! In the video I pointed out that they're 44mm. If you have narrow wrists, then the 40mm is fine. 😎

Hey! Thanks for such a detailed review. It's highly informative. However, I'm stuck choosing between the 44mm aluminum and the 44mm stainless steel LTE version. I don't care much about the LTE, however the build quality with stainless steel seems better to me on top with extra RAM. But I've heard about overheating and shut down issues with the LTE version. Would you recommend going one over the other looking at the price difference? Thanks in advance! Cheers
@gearupaaron3 жыл бұрын
Hi Gaurav, I've heard about those issues too, although I'm not sure how widespread they are. If you're willing to risk it for the looks, then go for it, otherwise, go with the regular model. Less RAM doesn't mean lower performance in this case. The slight increase in RAM for the LTE version is specifically too handle cellular duties, it seems.

The best Samsung Smart Watch over the last 3 years is the 46mm Galaxy Watch with it's 4 day battery life. I have the Active 2 and the new Watch 3 and the Galaxy Watch the older watch is better seems like Samsung is getting cheap with newer watches. The Watch3 added ECG but got rid of calories burn and battery life sucks big time I'm only getting one and a half day of life

My issue with wearOS is the battery. If the battery would last a full day or 2 to 3 days I would love it. That is literally my only gripe. I had the LG Watch Style and with minimal use it would die in 3-6 hours on me smh Getting this watch and I have a Pixel 4a 5g so hopefully it will work. Not a fan of Samsung though
@gearupaaron3 жыл бұрын
Totally agree on battery life with wear OS (same with Samsung and Apple) - they need to optimize and realize that they don't need to throw the entire kitchen sink into a watch.

Informative and funny ... Not bad. But I love my Active 2 bezel because if I need it its there. Not like the first Active. But I had the Galaxy watch I loved it until it decided it didn't want to pair with my Note 20 Ultra. So I traded it in for the 3. So far so good. And because I waited it cost me 139. How about that. Oh and maybe you need to purchase a guard for your Active 2. Have fun, and as u techies say "Peace" lol

I have a brand new Galaxy Active 2 and it also locked up on me in only the first couple of days I owned it to where I had to reset it and start over. Since buying the Galaxy Active 2 only a week ago I have now also bought the Apple 6. I actually like the fitness applications, ease of use, and functionality of the Samsung Active 2 watch more than the considerably more expensive Apple, even though Samsung neglected to clearly state that if you have an IOS phone you can't use many of the features of the Galaxy watch. The main issue with the Galaxy watch is the software. Everything on it is constantly trying to alert you, and if you are wearing something with sleeves and it rubs against the watch it constantly thinks you are touching it. Samsung has turned on everything by default. If you bought a Galaxy watch for fitness you need to go through all the settings you can and turn all that crap off, especially one that says it lets you control the watch face while wearing gloves, that's nuts. Because of these software problems, while doing a fitness activity the Galaxy watch would constantly be pausing the fitness app, vibrating, and bringing one app after another. It's immensely frustrating to go through a physical activity and then find out the watch paused for no reason half way through without you knowing it. Once again software nerds take an excellent idea and cause frustration and disappointment in an otherwise great product. In its price range the Galaxy Active 2 with its attractive design, features, and fitness software should crush the Apple watch (remember I said I have both). The last thing I am trying to stop on the Galaxy Active 2 is its insistence on constantly bringing up the music app while I'm doing a fitness activity, I haven't found that one yet.
@gearupaaron3 жыл бұрын
Thanks very much for your insight into the two watches. Yes, I agree that the Galaxy is for those who love to tweak and is quite tied to the Samsung world. Apple looks really nice, but I don't like 'em for the price-to-feature quotient.

@gearupaaron3 жыл бұрын
Hi Emin, in the context of this watch, that patch is a good thing - the weight is spread over a wider area. No matter what watch with HR sensors you wear, there's always going to be an indent (unless you wear it super loose); and it's very slight in the Samsung. The Ticwatch Pro was particularly bad, for example (I have a video of that from a few months back).
