Q: QuestionDoes this receive calls and texts and does this work on any samsung phones.

Asked 6 years ago by Kaden.

• A:Answer Hello Kaden, thanks for asking! This watch is compatible with Samsung Smartphones, Non-Samsung Android Smartphones (Android OS 5.0 and above RAM 1.5GB and above), iOS 9.0 and above iPhone 5 and above. With this watch you can make phone calls from your wrist. You just need to make sure your smartwatch is connected to your phone through Bluetooth. Once that's set up, you can make as many calls as you want. You can also quickly and easily view incoming messages on your watch and send replies, and you won't even need to take out your phone. ^Elizabeth

Q: QuestionWhat is the distance between the watch and phone...in order to receive texts/calls? Ex: if I forget my phone at home, will I still be able to utilize either function on the watch? Also, can you ping your phone from your watch if you've lost your phone?

Asked 6 years ago by Kimberly7211.

• A:Answer I tried this exercise with my Motorola phone. I left the phone on the table, near the back door, and went out into the backyard. I got 40-50 feet in a straight line before it started to drop off. When I went around the corner of the house though (about 25 feet) it started to get crackly. You can ping the watch from the phone, or the phone from the watch.

Q: QuestionWill the base be any thinner than the Galaxy watch? I have very small wrists and I'm finding that it feels very bulky. I currently have the 42mm LTE Rose gold. R815U Thank you.

Asked 6 years ago by ChrisH.

• A:Answer I also have very small wrists and have held off buying a smartwatch because most are gigantic. I even passed up on the Galaxy Watch. I bought the 40mm Active 2, and it's fantastic. Light, relatively slim, and doesn't bother me at all. I have worn it to bed several times, and it hasn't disturbed my sleep (even though I didn't have it in Goodnight mode).

Q: QuestionCan you reply back to text messages?

Asked 5 years ago by Ashley.

• A:Answer Yes. You can respond back from the watch to texts. There are multiple ways you can respond back to a text. The easiest I've found is to use the microphone and dictate your response. Other ways you can respond back to texts is using canned (and customized) short pre-programmed responses, using watch keyboard, and even using your finger to draw one letter at a time to create a response.

Q: QuestionDoes this watch have cellular that you can get on it?

Asked 6 years ago by Colesville.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - Galaxy Watch Active2 Smartwatch 40mm Aluminum - Aqua Black

• A:Answer The aluminum version is only able to send and receive calls and message through bluetooth, meaning that your phone is nearby with you at all times while connected to bluetooth. You are able to speak to someone through your phone with this method. However, in order to use it as a cellular device like you would your own phone, you would have to purchase the stainless steel version and pay on a monthly service plan. This option allows you to actually leave your own phone at home and not have to connect through bluetooth.

Q: QuestionI currently have the Samsung watch. The steps and fitness tracker are pretty bad (worse than Gear2). If I'm walking back and forth it doesn't count unless I'm 11 steps in. Is Active2 better at tracking steps/fitness or the same as previous versions?

Asked 5 years ago by Babs.

• A:Answer I hope this will help, Babs... I recently got one of these from being a Gear FitPro 2 owner. This Galaxy Watch Active 2 is amazing, I truly believe it will be much better for you, for keeping a more accurate account of your steps and daily activity level on a whole than the previous version. I write this because, when I was researching, I considered saving money and getting the older model, but they've made several improvements that just make it worth it, and one of those being improved accuracy, more sensors and better processing power. I looked up reviews on YouTube and found several that helped "seal the deal" before buying. I happened to get one of the Best Buy open box/certified ones, and saved some money, it arrived as if it was never even unsealed, beautiful! I hope this helps you!

Q: QuestionI'm allergic to nickel have to wear stainless steel. Will a Bluetooth version of Active 2 also be made in stainless steel?

Asked 6 years ago by Plue.

• A:Answer I also have a nickel allergy. I got the cloud silver active 2 which is aluminum. I have had no problems what so ever. The nickel is in the watch band that honestly doesn't touch the skin and if it did you can easily change the band.

Q: Questionwill the watch be able to receive and send emails/texts and answers calls?

Asked 5 years ago by jane.

• A:Answer I use my watch daily to receive/answer phone calls and texts. Because the watch screen is small, I don't try to read emails but I do believe it has the capability to access an email application. The audio / microphone quality is really accurate so answering texts by dictation works well.

Q: Questionvery interested in hearing observations on "actual" battery life.i know with the Samsung Galaxy watch (42MM) that many people I know easily get 4-5 days without charging.I've read that this is maybe 2 days...let us know your experience w/ Active2 please

Asked 6 years ago by me2.

• A:Answer Yes the first couple of days the battery did not last as long, but I'm guessing it's because I kept playing with it. It's better now, more like 2 to 3 days.
