My first smart watch, so far so good
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Display, FeaturesCons mentioned:Battery, PriceI've had the watch now for 2 months & I feel like I've had enough experience with it to write a review. What I like about it: 1 - It's really nice looking. I love the aluminum finish & the leather band. It's got a few light scratches & scuffs after two months, but so far it's held up well. It looks really good on and the 40mm screen doesn't look too massive on my wrist. It's also very easy to switch out watch bands. 2 - It integrates seamlessly with my phone (Galaxy S8). I'm a fan of the Galaxy Wear app - really helps make setting up & controlling features on the watch easy. 3 - Setting up the LTE with T-Mobile was very easy and the service works great. I've never have any problems with making/receiving calls & text messages when using the device in standalone or Bluetooth. 4 - I really like the 'health' features on the app. I like the activity reminders very much, and the pedometer appears to be accurate as well as heart rate monitoring. Sleep tracking appears decently accurate. 5 - Battery life (on bluetooth) is excellent. I can get at least two days from an overnight charge if the watch stays connected to my phone. That brings me to things I don't like about the watch... 1 - BATTERY LIFE ON LTE IS TERRIBLE. A fully charged watch drains to 0% in about 3 hours. I wanted to be able to use it in place of my phone at times, but the battery life makes it near impossible. And after paying so much more for the LTE version vs the bluetooth one, I'd hope to actually be able to use it. I really hope Samsung will do something to improve this in the very near future. This is my main complaint about the watch. 2 - The app selection leaves a lot to be desired. Especially for music apps. Only options are Spotify app which requires you to upgrade to premium to use in standalone mode (already deleted it - useless), or upload music files manually to the watch. Why not make other services available like Google Play music? If they made more music streaming services available, this watch would be amazing. 3 - This is a personal preference thing, but I wish some of the watch faces that come loaded on the watch were more customizable. The watch faces available in the marketplace are ok, but I haven't really been able to find ones that I like & that have the functionality I'm looking for. I hope Samsung will add more stock watch faces in the future. Overall I really like the watch and have bought two more for my parents for Christmas. It's great looking & I really like some of the feature, especially the health related ones. If Samsung would fix the battery life on LTE issue & add more music streaming service capabilities, it would be perfect 5-stars.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Display, Ease of use, For phone callsCons mentioned:Heart monitorI was replacing my Fitbit Versa 2. I didn't like it for HR or GPS. However, loved it for sleep quality. I returned the Garmin Vivoactive to buy this watch. Love the ease of use, being able to relatively easily see the screen, ease of changing watch faces. Also putting the watch in airplane mode so you don't drain the battery. GPS is much much more accurate than the Fitbit. Sometimes HR is spot on and other times, I'd be having a stroke if I had that high of an HR for 30 minutes of running. Love getting texts to my watch and calls. I haven't activated the LTE yet, but happy I bought that option. It's an amazing watch. I'm sure it does a ton more that I haven't discovered just yet.

I have continuously upgraded getting a better interactive experience, yet the watch was always too big. Finally I can use the stock band and not look like I'm wearing my dad's watch!

Best watch ever
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 last month. At the beginning I thought that was very expensive but once I used it I understood that it was worth every penny. I am the whole day on top of my notifications. The watch is super elegant and you can use with any outfit. Also, you can change the leather band. Highly recommend it.

Q: QuestionOn a unlocked version of the Active 2 LTE watch. Is it required to activate LTE or can you just use it as a Bluetooth watch?
Asked by mon633.
- A:Answer You can use Bluetooth only. No service required.
Answered by NicholeJ
Q: QuestionI prefer the look of the LTE model over the bluetooth. I am not interested in the monthly plan. Is the battery better or are there any bonuses in buying the LTE model besides the appearance?
Asked by Boss.
- A:Answer The LTE model is so you can use it without your phone, if added to your phone plan. You can talk on it and send messages on it without your phone if you're on a run or have left your phone at home. Otherwise, get the bluetooth version which is about $150 cheaper.
Answered by Nikki
Q: QuestionIs there a release date yet?
Asked by Maxipoo.
- A:Answer Not officially, but it's finally available to order on Samsung's website with an estimated ship date of 10/25-11/1 depending on the color and size. Hopefully Best Buy's inventory and timeline will mirror that.
Answered by yelbec
Q: QuestionWhat does it mean LTE enabled ? Do I need to insert SIM card ?
Asked by Jag.
- A:Answer Hello Jag, thanks for asking! Samsung has Bluetooth and LTE smart watches. The LTE version can receive calls and messages without being connected to a phone. However, you'll first need to activate service for the watch through the same carrier as your mobile phone. Don't worry, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon all offer plans for the LTE versions of Galaxy Watch Active2. ^Elizabeth
