I can't believe that they still did not fix the heart rate issues. This shows that their main focus is not on active people but rather on people that like to think about themselves they are active. I was developing apps on Tizen way back and in the end I stopped, because the quality of that system is same as the heartrate and their support is somewhat non existent. Anyway, thanks for great video and again very precise and well done comparison, and I can't wait for venu review ;)

My GWA2 HR has been about as accurate as most other smartwatches when compared using a chest strap as the baseline. It's very accurate at low to moderate intensity, but less so at higher intensity training. It's been much more responsive and accurate than my Versa 2 and a little better than the Garmin Venu my friend has (we swapped to compare readings. The GPS is accurate enough for me, but I agree that it may fall short for the more serious athlete. Great Review!

Thx for the review Des! I was actually looking at the Watch Active 2 since I already have a Samsung phone, and tbh the Samsung Health app is really not bad. It's one of the best Health Tracking apps I've seen. But I'm really glad I chose the Vivoactive 3 instead of this one (the 150$ price was mind-blowing). The Weight Lifting tracking might not be great, but it sure does a better job than the Active 2, even if it's 2 years older. This says a lot about how important are the algorithms behind the sensors.

@bowl12strikes 4 жыл бұрын

I chatted this evening with a rep from Samsung because I was considering buying the Active 2. I brought up the negative reviews about the tracking and the HR monitor. I asked if there was an update in the pipeline. He acknowledged that there was one. I asked if there was a timeline and he said no. I then asked about the promised ECG not being activated. He said they were still tweaking it. I asked if there was a timeline for this considering that we are close to month six and it was promised in early 2020. The reply was once again, no there none. When I told him that because of this, I would be purchasing a Garmin device, he replied, I am sorry about this". End of conversation.

I have a Garmin FR245 and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks for Treadmill running. No matter how many times I "calibrate and save" the thing gives me credit for about 60-80% of what the treadmill says I do. I'm always sure to swing the arm with the watch on and never hang on...at least with the watch hand. That's all to say, this isn't they only watch with treadmill issues. Having said that, I'm glad that I bought it over this watch after watching this review. Treadmill issues aside, I'm happy with everything else with my Garmin. Thank you for the review.

What happened to the segment where you review this watch on its swim tracking capabilities? I was hoping to find out how good or bad it is for counting lengths/laps. Yes, no maybe coming?

This was the best review.. Just one question though.. Which wearable you would recommend for fitness tracking?

@DesFit 4 жыл бұрын

That’s a tough question - depends on what type of activities you like to do.

I had to agree with the inability of connecting to an external HR monitor being a major letdown. I was really looking at this to replace my Vivoactive 3 but the fact that it only relies on the optical HR monitor made my decision to not buy it.

I've been waiting for this review as I've been really torn between the Garmin 4s (Marvel :) ) or this and as a Smartwatch, I love the features Samsung offers. But for the fitness aspect, I need their components to work and it sounds like it isn't better than the original, which I have, and has the same inconsistencies. I honestly am considering switching from Android to Apple just to get everything I want in one package.

hey just chanced about this review. The HR analysis was really comprehensive but would have liked to see a more holistic review of the fitness aspect of the watch, and the many features included and how well they work. thanks

Thank you so much for the in-depth review especially on the heart rate inconsistency, which worries me as I am planning to get it to track my workout and heart rate. Could you kindly advice on Suunto watches and its heart rate monitoring? Do you have any video on this?

Now that the active 1 received an update which adds the rotating bezel, how would you compare 1 to the active 2? I picked up a active 1 to try out with boxing day sales. $229 vs $299 for the active 2. Is it worth the $70 upcharge?

Where in the settings are you finding the High Accuracy Location setting shown at 3:58? My Active 2 has only 3 options (Settings, Connections, Location, Methods: GPS & wireless, Wireless networks, GPS). I assume "GPS & wireless" provides the highest accuracy, but I do not find the setting displayed in the video.

Great channel. Very detail and interesting review. I watch all your watch review in last couple days :)) when are we expecting to have the venue review? Thanks

Really great review ! How does the Active 2 compare to the Stratos 3 in terms of GPS and heartbeat monitoring, is the Active 2 really worth the price difference ?

@Causeimbored1 4 жыл бұрын

Haha! The treadmill review portion was hilarious. I want to get the active 2 soooooo badly. Just for the smart features but I think I will stick with my Venu.

Great vid...in terms of cycling...how did the watch do as far as giving real time distance and speed as you rode...is the watch able to give pace/time out loud?
