Finally a good watch!
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: Roy C
i have had so many watches including all generations of fitbit and various wearos devices but none have come close to the experience i got from this watch.
the watch is zippy and you can tell that tizen is very simple to keep the watch functioning smoothly. while there is not a huge catalog of apps, you really don't need that much in a smartwatch and all the important apps are there.
the design is awesome, it is simple and sleek. i especially love the circular design and smooth curves. it is also very comfortable, the included band was surprisingly soft.
the watch has been updated with ecg. if you are on android and especially if you have a samsung phone, this is the watch to get.

Beautiful display

i received the watch a couple of days ago - got the 44mm; i thought it was going to be big for my wrist but it's perfectly oversized!
this is my 3rd samsung watch and i really love the display, the watch faces look crisp, the touch bezel is amazing the, the os is smooth, etc. the biggest problem for me is that - this is the "active" version! so the step count should be accurate (at least close to accurate). however, there are big gaps - i have seen it stop counting my steps while i'm jump roping, running or even walking! my first samsung gear s2 is way more accurate than this newer version. this is disappointing! my galaxy watch also stops counting steps - i thought they would've fixed that problem with this "active" version.

The perfect watch!

i love my new samsung gear active2 watch! i had the frontier for 3 years and loved it except for how heavy and bulky it was for my girl wrists. this one is absolutely perfect for me! all the quality is there,with some updated features, and way more comfortable to wear. i even like the band better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

on January 20, 2022
Posted by: Leah
do not buy this watch!! i am a loyal samsung customer. i love samsung but this watchbis a piece of crap!! i had this watch less than 6 months and it fell apart. it is not water resistant as advertised and when it fell apart, apparently the warranty is void. do not waste your hard earned money. samsung, you should be ashamed of yourself for this faulty product!! i'm so disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was enjoying my fitbit Versa but this smartwatch is a major upgrade. The size is so perfect for my tiny wrist.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Satisfied

I needed something that I could track time with and use for workouts. Decided to pre-order this and I'm glad I did. Came with the portable also. I'd say it is a bit pricey compared to the first gen but when I got it it was pretty worth it (mainly because of the portable charger).
