Q: QuestionCan you make calls out of this watch?

Asked 7 years ago by Viony.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - Galaxy Watch Active Smartwatch 40mm Aluminum - Silver - (2019)

• A:Answer No the watch doesn't include a speaker on it. You can however dial people through the watch and talk to them through a connected bluetooth headset. If you want to make calls on your watch you'll have to go with the more expensive Samsung watches. ($299+)

Q: QuestionSince you can send texts with it.... Does it have to be right next to your phone? Or can it sit in my locker while I am at work?

Asked 7 years ago by Angel.

• A:Answer Your watch uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone. If it is like my Gear S2, then it also can use the local WiFi to connect to your phone. So, my guess is that you do not have WiFi at your gym, so you need to be within Bluetooth range in order to send texts via your watch.

Q: Questiondoes this device track steps even if you are pushing a stroller or shopping cart unlike the fit it's which do not?

Asked 5 years ago by j.

• A:Answer Hello j, that's a really good question! Steps are not counted when there is no hand movement in the exercise. For example, steps may not be recorded when pushing a lawn mower or cart because your hands are not moving. The watch is intended to calculate real step counts while walking. ^Elizabeth
