I bought this smartwatch to replace an older, Fossil WearOS based smartwatch that did not feature heart rate tracking. I don't miss Google's WearOS ecosystem at all. I use a Samsung phone, which makes coordination between the watch and phone nearly seamless.
MAIN POINTS:
- Battery life is fantastic! With my old watch, I would be around 20 percent with moderate use at the end of the day. This watch, with heart rate, GPS, bluetooth on, moderate usage, puts me at around 80 percent. I charge it every night, but fully believe it would last 4-5 days with moderate usage.
- Workout tracking is very easy. There are a few quick workouts to tap and go on a page, but for full tracking you have to go through the Samsung Health app.
- Accurate GPS tracking
- Touch-based bezel scrolling is innovative, but I prefer swiping through screens (just how I operated with my old watch)
- Fast and fluid, have not experienced any slowdowns
- Build quality is top notch. This is more or less a flagship device, and feels that way. The watch feels premium, sleek, and doesn't weigh much at all.
- Samsung needs to update their Wear app to make settings easier. There are multiple ways to get to settings, and you may get lost looking for what you want. For example, there are settings in the watch menu itself, in the Samsung Wear app, or maybe the app specifically for what you are wanting to change (i.e. heart rate in Samsung Health.) Streamlining will go a long way.
- Voice and microphone are good, sound is loud, vibration does a good job notifying you. People I've talked to through the watch could not tell a difference between my phone and watch.
Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase. This watch is next level and checks all of the boxes for things I'm looking for in a smartwatch.

Very good watch
I've only had this watch for three days now, but I highly recommend it. I'm writing this in hopes of helping others choose this watch.Backstory (skip if you don't want to read): I've had two other Samsung galaxy watches over the years. The s2 and the s3 frontier. I got the s3 as a gift and just a week ago, it unexpectedly broke. I bought this as a replacement. The only things I've only ever used my watches for has been for tracking my cycling (I go everyday) and for telling the time and controlling music. The previous two have worked perfect for this.Sizing: the s2 and s3 were 42 mm and 46 mm respectively. I always thought the s3 looked a little big on my wrist, as my wrist is about 6.3 inches in circumference. I had a lot of trouble deciding whether to buy this watch in 40 mm or 44 mm, as many people on reddit recommend 40 mm for wrists below 6.5 inches. I ended up buying the 44 mm, and I think it looks great. The pictures don't show it, but I think it fits my wrist perfectly. The only problem is the band for the watch is on the tightest setting. I might even puncture a hole to have a tighter fit.Sports tracking: I don't run or do many other sports, but I do go 15 miles a day via bike. The s3 worked great for that, and this watch does as well, so far. The only problem I've had is with the auto pause feature (when off the bike to take a water break, the watch is supposed to automatically pause). It's very finicky, but that's the only complaint. It takes my heart rate accurately and I synced my Samsung health with strava via the phone app to track my biking.Battery life: I've only had it for a few days, but these past two days I've tried charging it to full in the morning and seeing where it was at night. Keep in mind that I go cycling in the morning and use GPS the whole time. For both days, it drained about 30% battery (from 100 to 70ish) for a day that was 7:30 am to 11:30 pm. I think that's pretty good, and I charge it while I'm in the shower and wear it to sleep for sleep tracking. The charging is relatively fast, enough for it to almost be 100 before I sleep after a 15 min charge.Durability/ waterproofing: I heard a lot of people say that they use this watch for swimming, but I'm too scared to take a 250 dollar device into the pool. I wouldn't personally recommend it. The durability seems good though, but I haven't run into any problems.Accessories: I have a few recommendations so far. I bought a screen protector and a ringke bezel protector. Both are present in the photos and I think it looks great, as well as providing looks. I highly recommend both, as it gives me comfort that I won't break the watch. On my old s3, I scratched the bezel a lot, but that one was metal and this one isn't. Also, for watch faces, the one I have is called minimal data weather. I also recommend iris25. The apps on the store for the watch are cool and all, but they don't serve much functionality in my eyes. The charging base is a little inconvenient as it's just a small disk, so I recommend getting a base that it can click into so it stands like the s2 and s3 charging bases do.Overall review: I'm very happy with the watch and I recommend this to anyone needing a watch. Read the other sections for my personal views on the watch, and I hope everyone has an amazing day. Hope this helped.Update:After two weeks of having the watch and using it everyday, the back panel/plate came off. The adhesive stopped sticking well. Luckily, I was within the return period and I replaced it with a new one. If the same issue occurs again, I'll be leaving a one star but for now, it mightve just been a fluke with that watch. Still a good watch.

It is fashionable, due to its sleek glass, (in my case) aluminum housing, and unobtrusive thickness that is no thicker (if not, thinner) than your average premium analog watch.
It is functional, due to the fact that you have all the basic necessities that any digital watch should have PLUS, step tracking, workout tracking, heart rate monitoring, upcoming electrocardiogram capability, text messaging, the ability to accept, decline, and create phone calls, pay for things using Samsung pay, find your phone, the creation and cancellation of alarms and reminders, the ability to check the weather, and have music playback controls (also including track selection), just to name a few. (And I don't think I really need to explain why I think it's so flexible). 😉
And just to mention other things I love about the Watch Active2, I love the touch bezel (which is much better than you think it is), I love the SAMOLED display that by default automatically dims to fit the environment that it's in along with providing smooth animations, I love the now larger back button so you can tell that it's different if you're in the dark, I love the ability to triple click the apps/home button to send a message to your emergency contact(s), and so much more.
Now here's the part where I would usually explain the cons of the watch/device. But there was an issue, I struggled to come up with any. I would usually have a very long laundry list of cons, but I really don't have any. The only part I can say is a con, is that some people aren't satisfied with the accuracy of the health tracking features. Maybe it's just me, but I really haven't had any. The lack of feminine health tracking might be a con to some women, but I'm not female, so... That doesn't apply to me... That's all I can really say.
So in the end, if you are currently looking for a smartwatch to go with your Android device, then I say you should absolutely go with this one. It has many a feature that the competition do not supply, has great battery life, a digital rotating bezel that is the best way to interact with it, a decent amount of customization, and health tracking that I believe to be accurate. (Disclaimer: I am not a health professional by any means, and therefore I am not the first person you should listen to when it comes to advice about health tracking). So, I say it is a very worthy purchase. And I am enjoying my time with it.

Finally, a full-fledged smartwatch worth buying.

The Galaxy Watch Active2, is one of the best purchases that I've ever made in wearable technology. It delivers with more than adequate battery life, far superior comfort when compared to other products, a feature set that will appease most so-called "Geeks" such as myself, and the availability to add more features and/or applications via the Galaxy app store. The new customizable watch face feature makes the creation of customizable watch faces easy and simple. With just a snap of your clothing, and multiple watch faces are created for you that match your outfit. I also appreciate the much slimmer and sleeker design, when compared to the regular Galaxy Watch. With that, I can confidently say that (at least in my opinion) the Watch Active2 is the most fashionable, functional and flexible.

Me encanta que puede verse deportivo, casual, y con mucha clase de manera facil.
Hacer o recibir llamadas por el reloj no solo es muy cool (haha) si no que me sorprendí de lo útil que es mietras hago cosas como cocinar. Quien escucha nunca tiene problemas escuchando lo que digo ni yo escuchandolos a ellos.
Mandar mensajes requiere un poco de práctica pero te acostumbras y es bastante rápido.
Usar Samsung Pay y pagar por cafés de la marca de café más famosa del mundo usando tu reloj también es cómodo y divertido.
El Sleep Tracker es muy bueno en este reloj. Antes de este, tenía el Galaxy Fit, y a menudo pensaba que estaba dormido cuando veía una película o algo así. Este es muy asertivo.
En el gym, siempre he usado el "other workout" en los fitness bands de Samsung, y eran desentes, pero con el Active 2, me gusta que puedes ver más info at a glance, y tienes acceso super rápido a los controles de música, lo cual me gusta mucho.
En cuestión de la pila, me dura aprox 2 días casi 3 si lo empujas bajando algunas funciones. Puedo usar el Always On Display y me dura todo el día sin problemas.
Mi nombre es Manny P. y yo apruebo este Smartwatch.

El mejor SmarthWatch de su gama

Unos detalles a considerar de este modelo en específico es que al ser un modelo de E.U. su idioma con el cual tiene activas la mayoría de sus funciones es el Inglés.
Por ejemplo, para responder los mensajes de WhatsApp y otras redes sociales el teclado es limitado y complejo, a menos que tengas el dispositivo en Inglés se activa el teclado Swype.
Además de eso el peso del reloj es algo a considerar, si bien no es demasiado pesado puede llegar a molestar.
En conclusión, este Smarthwatch nos provee una gran cantidad de ventajas y aplicaciones para explotarlas al máximo, al inicio puede llegar a ser difícil de manejar pero como con todos, es cosa de acostumbrarse.
