Glad to be back, guys! Enjoy your weekend and mask up! Also... POST-TEST NOTE: I totally forgot to mention call quality over the speaker!!! It's loud and clear, but doesn't like living at max volume (the drivers begin to get overwhelmed).

One of the very few youtube videographer who actually adjust his video ratio to match with wide super thin bezel phone these days - without actually cropping the video content 👏👏👏👏

I think the 40mm version is plenty and saves you about $30 or more, just bought the 40mm version off of Best buy thanks to this review. It'll be my first fitness tracker and smart watch!

We have to change our attitude towards tech devices, just because a new version comes up doesn't mean I have to get it or throw my previous version away, if it does the job then I'll keep it, great video, I want to buy this smartwatch.

Absolutely love the watch face. Great video explaining all the features. Thank you.

The visuals are super pleasing. Awesome lighting and background. And awesome writing! You're well ahead of the subscriber count! :)

I just ordered one, and this pops up in my feed!

I'm so excited to find this video. I have ordered one. It is my first real smart watch. Thank you. I had to slow down the video to catch all of the good stuff. 😂

Nice video! Convinced my gf to buy the active 2 instead of the newer watch 3 because they have almost the same specs. After scouring every store we ended up buying a brand new 40mm for about $160 here in the PH. That's about $200 saved!

I think you were informative and funny. I purchased an Active 2 and your review helped me out a lot!

20% battery - 8h remaining. thats insane

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.

The quality in this video was so good I expected you to have like a million subs

You gave me the right mind and made me realize that newest isn't best thanks

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.

Bro definitely subscribing you are alot better than other tech videos had me intrigued the whole time you deserve alot more recognition. Hope you reach the top faster than you can realize it.

Waiting for mine to be delivered 😍

This might be my next watch! I have very small wrists and hands, so most watches are to bulky on me. It's important to me to watch my heartrate and want it to be comfortable to wear! Exciting:)

Im considering buying an active 2 and your review is very helpful

The bezel works perfect for me

This was very helpful, thank you. Picked up an S20+ a few days back, this would be a great watch to use with.

U deserve many likes I don't know how no one knows about this vid

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.

Ordered an Active 2 yesterday can't wait

Well done mate. Absolutely love this video.

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 just ordered one.. and really very nice review..

I'd recommend getting the cellular version at a good price. I got mine off swappa. It has 1.5 GB RAM, making it more future proof imo.

Hey your platform was fantastic on the active 2 was excellent I read you a 5-star thank you and I subscribe to your Channel you really know your watches

Very nice example of high quality and very useful video. Ilike video quality, animations and transition between clips. Great job done.

Really good insight and great review!

Dude, this was such a great review. Definitely subbing!

Just bought one, it'll be here Tuesday!

Really nice job on this video! (sorry i am just now watching this) you explained everything very well and kept me interested the WHOLE video! thank you!

Great, honest, thorough review! We just ordered two of these from T-Mobile. We got the LTE version, and both watches were free with the commitment for the $10/mo data line. Not bad! Eager to get them!

I was your 1K like, nice review. Going to pick this up for the wife off Santa

I got this about 5 months ago for $150 with tax and shipping at Amazon. Now it's getting to be $190. Great review and feature of the watch.

Thank you Aaron, great review, detailed, high quality ! You deserve milion subs ! Keep up !

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.

U should be close to 5 million subscribers. Excellent review.

I am sure your good voice will get you more subscribers by next year. Good video overall.

so my friend gave me one these 2 weeks ago. not sure how i haven't had a smart watch in my life , so just ordered a galaxy 6 clasic lite. this active 2 is great. going give to my son when my new toy comes in

Great review...I just bought Galaxy Watch Active 2 in bundle offer with Galaxy S21+ in just INR 990 (USD 13.5 approx). Mistakenly, you showed Original Galaxy Watch during the intro at 0:32. Just a heads up. Superb review nonetheless. I'm you'll be pretty soon crossing 10K mark too. Cheers :)

I always buy the older tech when they mark it down. Nothing wrong with it.

Really detail video. Thank you 💝 this is exactly what I was looking for

That "Cardieo" SW video got me watching the entire add ~lol

Thanks for the review, I noticed negative written in Hindi though. 😉

i have the galaxy watch which i love but i recommended this watch to my cousin and he loves it as well

Thank you, finally an honest review

good review. simple explanation with compact information. Thanks! might go for watch 2 instead of watch 3

Nice video Aaron. A fan from Nigeria!

Wonderful review with Amazing video quality! I just ordered this watch and I hope I will get an alarm clock on in this watch cause that's why I bought it.

This was a great review! Fathers day is this weekend and my wife and kids want to gift me a smart watch. I've been on the fence about the Active 2, but now I'm convinced this is what I should settle on, and hoping it will pair nicely with my Galaxy S10 Plus. Thanks for all the pros and cons. It was super informative and great video quality.

Thank you Aaron, your review helped me a lot !

I got it today and it's AMAZING!!! !

Loved your Hindi topic titles ❤

Relevant review. You hit on aspect that matter most to me. I'm a nurse, need flash light and timer the most. Also, use Samsung Pay so, hope that works well. My Huawei watch2 died after 5 years. In Samsung world this year, tv S20 Ultra Tab S7 with oem keyboard. Love Google Chrome OS but just couldn't find what looking for...

I subscribed to your channel ! Hope you get to the 5k !!👍🏼 Thanks for this video, I am a proud owner of Active 2👍🏼

Hey great review! keep up the good work! I'm getting this watch next week and I'm wondering if you've tried showering with it before, I know you mention in the video that it is fine to do so but I've read that the steam and soap can damage the watch in a shower, is that the case in your experience?

Hi great video! I'm struggling to choose between this watch and the Fitbit Versa 3. The 44mm version is 30 dollars cheaper than the Fitbit where I'm from. I'm more interested in the fitness side of things. Any advice?

I just ordered one and can't wait to use it. Though I am into my gmail and i noticed that it is in your watch. I am wondering if you can actually use the app in the watch.

Waiting for one for my wife. With discounts I got the 40mm for $57 off of the Samsung website along with a S20 FE 5G for $508 🤤

I love the battery life of this watch awesome

Very informative video I'm sold - buying one for my sister. Thanks!

how the watch after 3 years now. still worth it? People on budget issues. I like the quality stuff

Thanks for the detailed review. After years of being a FitBit tracker guy I am ready to switch to a smartwatch. My wife wants me to get a Apple Watch but I'm more of an Android guy.

Good presentation, thanks for sharing!

I loved the Active 2. What I hated about it is that it died one month after the warranty expired. And oh, considering all the reviews out there, keep it away from water.

Subbed! Great content man👍🏻 Keep up💪🏻

Best review I've found!

purchased the 44mm less than a week ago, way cheaper than the Watch 3 and I don't see any reason to pay a 1/3rd more. Buy a cover :)

My biggest issue is Samsung Pay is useless outside the USA and you can't add Google Pay. Also it can't sync to gym equipment like the Apple Watch can with GymKit. Otherwise I appreciate the sleep tracking and auto activity tracking. Also it's beautiful design and amazing screen quality.

Can't get rid of my Gear S3 Rugged. I have both watches but haven't I just love the battery life, the heft and the Samsung Pay with MST of my Gear S3 and a few years old now.

Time 0:32 it's not Galaxy Watch 3 in still pic it's first generation. Not so relevant but have to say when noticed... good video!

I was considering which one to buy for their similar price(40 dollar margin) in mainland china, after watch your video, I bought the active 2, thanks for sharing!

This is a very Informational video! Thank you

Got one and a pair of samsung ear buds for $ 170 yesterday. Looking forward to trying it out.

Lmao I came to check out the review and found his intro to be one of my workout music. That's sick as heck

Great review. Is this the 44mm or the 40mm version? Kind of confused between which one to pick... Any suggestions!

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

I saw the video, and I just subscribe, love the way you edit and make videos👌📲 kudos. 🧏

Of all the smart watches this was the best deal. Just a couple of days away to receive the package.

Great video man!

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

I like it (video), I get it (the smartwatch), I subscribed! Good luck!

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

i subbed to you because i like your vibe.

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

It's Februrary, 2020 and I'm thinking of buying this watch!

I'm super excited to get mine 😁

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.

Loved the review! Detailed but to the point. Love the presentation as well. Subbed!

Excellent review....just a quick question is it still relevant today considering the watch 4 is just around the corner...best buy is offering it for 270 dollars should I go for it...

Great video bro!

Indeed, it is a one of the best, but not from all the aspects. I tried swim test after 10 months use. That's the end of the story. Water leakage not covered by the warranty and good bye active 2 and Perhaps Samsung ...

Excellent review!

Really good video, congratulations! You earned a new sub! Keep going

If I were to clean the watch with a disinfecting wipe, would that affect the performance of the watch in any way? Looking to pick one up.

Him: "i can wear this for days, it barely makes a dent" His arm: *has a huge patch on his wrist*

Good video! Although is the bezel really a negative if you can turn it off? I suppose so as it’s genuinely awful 😞 I got mine recently and it’s very good, although I’m scared that I’ll scratch it
