Purchased in March 2020 - worked perfectly for the first year or so. Did everything I wanted a smartwatch to do, except take an ECG like the Apple Watch. Rumor on the Internet at the time was that Samsung was within months of getting it approved (hardware was already in the watch) - but that never happened.The 2-star rating is due to an issue with phantom touches on the face of the watch. Simply, the watch goes nuts randomly (and often) and switches screens, changes settings, and generally become inoperable. The side buttons usually get it back to the home screen, but not always. I have conducted a decent amount of research on the Internet and there are many forums (especially the Samsung forum) where others complain of the exact same issue.

Many of those users have also filed official warranty complaints with Samsung, only to be denied, with Samsung inexplicably claiming it was the user's fault. In one instance, Samsung denied the claim and stated the user must have gone swimming with the watch, as there was water damage. The watch, however, is advertised by Samsung to be "swim-proof." Since I am past the 1 year warranty, I am out of luck anyway and will be purchasing a different brand smartwatch.

The actual function of this watch is great - I upgraded to this watch from the original Samsung Gear Sport for a reason. HOWEVER - This is the 2nd time (fool me twice, right?) that the back cover of the watch, covering the HR monitor, has come unglued and detached from the watch. That's right - the watch that I paid close to $400 for, and is literally made to be sweat on and potentially used underwater is put together with ADHESIVE, that will ultimately break down over time.This happened with my original Samsung watch and it was out of warranty so I moved on and purchased this watch, thinking they must have learned from their mistakes because the back of this watch appeared to be much more solid. Nope, 9 months into ownership the back of the watch comes off.I ... MoreThe actual function of this watch is great - I upgraded to this watch from the original Samsung Gear Sport for a reason.

Once I get a hold of someone, they tell me that the damage is "esthetic" and will therefore not be covered - if I want the watch fixed I would have to pay for it out of pocket. ESTHETIC?? I was under the impression that the back of the watch was integral to the function of the watch itself but apparently not according to Samsung. I did a lot of research online and found all sorts of horror stories along the same line as my own, along with some that were told their watch would be repaired and then Samsung billed their credit cards hundreds of dollars, claiming "water damage" etc. Anywho, me and my crazy glued $400 watch are going to go buy a Garmin and maybe switch my phone to a Google while I'm at it.

I received this watch as a birthday gift about two years ago, and ave worn it daily since. Right off the bat, it would last approximately 2 days, a huge step down from my last watch that would last a month. The screen is somehow too sensitive but never sensitive enough. For example, in order to preserve the battery life, I have it set to black when not activated, however it should activate when I motion my wrist to my face, and adjust the brightness accordingly. Well, 99% of the time the watch does not activate when motioned, and if I press the button, it will turn on at the darkest setting until I place it in direct sunlight, where it will then illuminate so I can read the time. This is frustrating as it takes about 5 seconds to check the time, which should take ... MoreI received this watch as a birthday gift about two years ago, and ave worn it daily since.

This is frustrating as it takes about 5 seconds to check the time, which should take 0.2 of a second. When I get a notification, the watch will buzz, and I'll flip my wrist to look at it, however it will not activate, so when I press a side button to turn on the screen, it clears the notification. The funniest part is that my watch constantly activates at night while I sleep, shining at highest brightness directly in my face. I even have the setting in place where it shouldn't activate on do not disturb, but oh well.The screen is incredibly sensitive to most touch, meaning any time I have my arms crossed or my arm resting on a surface, my watch will activate and start scrolling through apps. This means having my arms crossed activates "Find My Phone" which sends my phone blaring, deletes my backgrounds, sets alarms, etc. Seems ironic to me that my watch doesn't turn on when I need to see it, but turns on every time I don't.Other than that, I like the watch strap and how it tucks into itself, preventing it from catching on other items. The sleep tracking appears fairly accurate too, which is nice. Since the charge dies so quickly I often do not get to wear it to sleep anyways, but alas.

After extensive research, I bought the 44 mm black Bluetooth only, Galaxy active 2 smart watch 4 weeks ago. I can safely say that I have had time to adequately test it. I wore it like a precious ornament. Initially I felt that the battery was draining by 10% per hour for which I switched off every useful feature but that didn't help. I had to perform a system reset on the third day and then it started giving a manageble 2 days on a single charge.Worryingly, I realised that only on the second day there was a small pin point area where the paint was chipped, just where the screen is flushed with the chassis. This was very odd as this area could not be touched or scrapped without damaging the screen and the adjacent chassis which was absolutely fine. Also I wear the ... MoreAfter extensive research, I bought the 44 mm black Bluetooth only, Galaxy active 2 smart watch 4 weeks ago. I can safely say that I have had time to adequately test it.

This was very odd as this area could not be touched or scrapped without damaging the screen and the adjacent chassis which was absolutely fine. Also I wear the watch on my left wrist and this side is facing away from my hand and won't be exposed to unintentional scrapes.I then became even more careful while wearing it but unfortunately, last week, a second small mark found its place near the previous one and just now, to my absolute dismay, I have found that the paint has been chipped from a third spot as well. I had read previous reports of the similar problem in the reviews for the black colour but I felt it could be a faulty item for them and I should be alright. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I am so annoyed with the build quality.In other areas, the software is laggy and the screen takes a pause after touching it before it wakes up.I am attaching the photo of the paint chip in case someone else feels they have the same problem in a similar area.I strongly ask the Samsung team to look into these quality control issues. These watches are supposed to have build quality to last for a couple of years (my friends have 1st Gen apple watches in great condition despite regular rigorous use). The costumer support team plainly blames this on the costumer for not being careful which is not only rude but also a tactic to shift the blame. My leap of faith in Samsung, unfortunately this time, hasn't landed me anywhere.
I bought this watch last year, because I am a runner, and wanted something I could listen to music on without bringing my phone. The Spotify app is laggy and slow and barely functions, even when paired to your phone. It is unusable otherwise. I have contacted both samsung and spotify about it and their only suggestion was to uninstall/reinstall the app and make sure I had all the latest updates.If you are in the middle of an activity, like running, and you want to use your watch, the screen turns off and on and its incredibly frustrating.Its clear that this watch was rushed to market so that it could compete with the apple watch. I am a die hard samsung galaxy user but as soon as Im ready to upgrade my phone Im getting apple or something else.

My overall verdict for this smart watch is very good. Like every piece of tech, it has its positives, but also its negatives.I've owned the Galaxy Watch Active 2 for around a year and a half now, and I think it's fair to say I've put it through its paces too. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid smartwatch for its price range; I'd recommend it to anyone buying a smartwatch for the first time with an orientation for workouts and exercise. However, It does have room for improvement.Firstly, the main reason to buy this watch is its wide array of fitness functions, on the whole, it performs admirably.

Like every piece of tech, it has its positives, but also its negatives.I've owned the Galaxy Watch Active 2 for around a year and a half now, and I think it's fair to say I've put it through its paces too. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid smartwatch for its price range; I'd recommend it to anyone buying a smartwatch for the first time with an orientation for workouts and exercise. However, It does have room for improvement.Firstly, the main reason to buy this watch is its wide array of fitness functions, on the whole, it performs admirably. This watch using the built-in Samsung Health app comes with a very wide array of fitness functions (cycling, running, treadmill, etc) and within each comes a fully customizable set of menus which are fantastic. In addition, the watches Samsung Health App is more or less identical to Samsung Health on your phone, meaning you can track everything from sleep to calories. However, the technicalities are where you run into issues. Firstly, the battery drain when tracking workouts is significant, about an hour of cardio exercise can drain you anywhere from 10% to 30%, (values vary depending on certain factors) however I noted it to be significantly poor. This point is strengthened with everyday use, if you workout at the gym, and plan on using this device a fair amount during the day for notifications, messages, etc, then you definitely will not be getting anywhere near the quoted two-day battery life. Especially after around 6 months of use, where I noticed a random drop in battery life from around two days and a half days of light/moderate use to just barely two days.Secondly, the watches sensors aren't brilliant, 75% of the time they work just fine, but that remaining 25% exposes you to an erratic, unpredictable and inconsistent mess. For example, when beginning a workout such as a hike or walk, sometimes the workout will completely cancel for no reason, leaving you with disappointing workout results of 17 seconds with 1 calorie burned. In addition, when running or even just measuring your heart rate, the sensors are sometimes way off. I've even compared it to my friend's Apple Watch Series 4 which gave consistent readings each time, compared to this watches sometimes long and unreliable readings. Furthermore, when using workouts such as dumbbells, the built-in detector for each rep is often wrong. Finally, just a general observation about the watches Samsung Health App: a few months ago, the app received an update that updated the overall appearance of the app. On the whole, it was very good, everything was sleeker, more functional, however, it removed one of my favourite features; having the centre value on the workout display being a bold green colour, which really helped identify that particular readout from the others. Sadly, it was removed and a more boring and dull colour took its place.Thirdly, despite these somewhat negative points, this watch is also brilliant. In terms of setup, the process couldn't be easier, and sleeker. The pairing process takes around 3 to 5 minutes and the Galaxy Wearable App that manages the device is fantastic. It's on another level compared to Apple's pitiful attempt. While the app can be a little laggy when switching between it and other apps, the app itself is beautiful and efficiently categorised. Just about everything is controllable through the app, with customisations and cool features for literally every occasion. Samsung honestly did a great job with this app. Onto the watch itself, the screen is significantly larger (around 20%) compared to the Active, and the bezel surrounding the display is very responsive. However, I'm not sure if this is limited to my watch but the Active seems to have a crisper and more colourful display, and seemingly better performance when switching between icons. In addition to this, the screen is where you run into more problems. I took it swimming and pretty much straight away I put a small scratch in the display which completely ruins the clean and sleek look of the watch face - if you get this device, invest in a screen protector! I always find myself worrying about hitting it against walls and objects.For everyday tasks like notifications, reminders etc, this watch really excels, Samsung has incorporated animations to make the process seamless, even for third party applications. When calling on this device, the audio output through the built-in speakers are good, volume-wise they're pretty loud, however towards the top end the audio really degrades, the microphone quality I've been told is second to none, most people can't differentiate between a mobile phone and this jewel. The watch faces are all good - enough. Some are good, others seem a little rushed and designed by a 7-year-old. Apps for this device are good, and you can install a variety of third-party applications too, most of which are paid for and don't seem to be very refined. Samsung's built-in applications such as clock, and weather are all pretty good, nothing to rave about though. Also, the Bluetooth connection can be a tad patchy, sometimes cutting out and even requiring a restart.Build quality and hardware-wise, I would say overall very good. The strap mechanism is brilliant and sophisticated, I've never had any issues with it, It's well built and is easy to remove. However, will need occasional cleaning due to built-up sweat and moisture etc. The main body itself is good, a little fragile but robust enough, be careful of the glass heartrate sensor, scratches could reduce the performance. The included wireless charger is very good, a full charge takes around 1 hour 50 to 2 hours.Overall, It's a good watch, especially compared to its counterparts. Its price range seems to be a sweet spot. However, I do find myself rooting for a newer, and more refined Apple Watch, so unless Samsung up the game with new features and performance, they could be losing the battle very soon. If you want to stick with Samsung, I would also recommend the Galaxy Watch, especially for men. Its more robust and defiant characteristics appeal more to me as a male. All things considered, It's a very good watch for first-timers, and exercise is definitely a strong suit.I recommend this product.
This is such a frustrating watch as it has so much potential - but potential is pretty much where it ends unfortunately.I did a lot of research before buying this watch and being an owner of a Samsung S10 and S5e tablet as well, felt comfortable this would be the right choice for me. My previous watch was a Garmin Forerunner 230, which despite being fairly limited in smart features, was a great watch for exercising.The look of the watch is great, and the menus are fairly intuitive, although the electronic bezel isn't great, especially if you're sweating or the phone is wet.The real issues with this watch are with the GPS. Whether this is purely a faulty model or a problem with the range, I cannot say but I've had this watch in for repair 3 times now and it ... MoreThis is such a frustrating watch as it has so much potential - but potential is pretty much where it ends unfortunately.I did a lot of research before buying this watch and being an owner of a Samsung S10 and S5e tablet as well, felt comfortable this would be the right choice for me.

Whether this is purely a faulty model or a problem with the range, I cannot say but I've had this watch in for repair 3 times now and it still doesn't work how it should. I bought this watch to work in standalone mode as I wanted to have music and avoid carrying my phone around with me. Yet, when it is disconnected from my phone, it can take up to 20 minutes to find a GPS signal. Obviously after waiting around for more than 5 minutes when wanting to get out cycling or running is more than enough so I now just go for it and somewhere during my run it may or may not find a signal. I would maybe expect this from a £20 watch you would find on Amazon, but not for a £280 Samsung watch.I have been through every fault finding tutorial with support and they now claim the issue is "fixed" but it is not. I have even sent them videos as evidence which they do not acknowledge.The next issue is the actual accuracy of the GPS. Given the issues I've already mentioned with this watch, I've tested it alongside my phone's GPS, an Apple Watch and my old Garmin. This tracks so far off any given path/road that is can be as much as 1km out over 5km, which is simply terrible for a watch of this price.The watch also crashes quite a lot when trying to play music through Spotify, which usually results in you stopping half way through a run and giving up on the music. By this point I am not really using the watch for anything else but telling the time and for notifications.Despite several hours on the phone to Samsung and it being sent of repair, they now refuse to do anything about this. Given I purchased directly from the Samsung online store, I really would have expected better customer service.I really wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this watch if you want a smart watch dedicated to sport. If you want a smart watch which shows notifications and controls music etc, this might be the one for you (still way cheaper alternatives out there which can do this), but if you're sport orientated, stick to a sport's brand like Garmin and you won't look back.Could've been so good!
Overall the Galaxy watch does have a lot going for it and use the health features daily to monitor my activity levels. Great while out being able to see ho is calling or read a txt message without having to pull out my mobile deviceBattery life is not great and requires being charged daily depending on what i use the Watch forBiggest disappointment is the ECG feature still has not been enabled in New Zealand! I brough the Active2 after being told by Samsung staff it was going to be activated soon. Since then the feature has been activated in approx 31 countries. No one at at any Store, Samsung Kiosk, or even Samsung support NZ can give me information about when the ECG feature will be activated. I consider it very poor service if Samsung NZ cannot help.

Other Watch and fitness trackers like Apple has ECG enabled in NZ... so it is very confusing why Samsung is so slow in doing a global ECG enable.If you don't mind, desire or need a feature like ECG, it is over all not a bad Watch. But considering i brought the Watch for the ECG feature along with everything else built in, i currently feel short changed. Currently i do not recommend this watch to anyone including my work until such a time as all features are enabled. And out of principle for the lack of information from Samsung NZ in this matter, being the sole person responsible for selecting mobile phones and even Watches, I am avoiding all samsung product purchases and getting other brands.Very disappointing Samsung
I have had this watch for almost a year now. I switched from the Fitbit to this one because I have a Samsung phone and I had connectivity issues with the fitbit and my phone and thought it would be better to have a watch and phone from the same provider. Since I got it the battery has little to no life. The watch will only last more than one day if you don't do anything with it and basically don't move. If you do an activity for the entire (hike, skiing, etc) forget it, it will be dead before you day is over, even if you started at 100%. The charging unit itself is a pain and half the time I have to fiddle with it to get it to actually confirm its connected to charge.The activities are misleading as most of them are not trackable on the actual watch at all.

I switched from the Fitbit to this one because I have a Samsung phone and I had connectivity issues with the fitbit and my phone and thought it would be better to have a watch and phone from the same provider. Since I got it the battery has little to no life. The watch will only last more than one day if you don't do anything with it and basically don't move. If you do an activity for the entire (hike, skiing, etc) forget it, it will be dead before you day is over, even if you started at 100%. The charging unit itself is a pain and half the time I have to fiddle with it to get it to actually confirm its connected to charge.The activities are misleading as most of them are not trackable on the actual watch at all. They claim you can add activities or adjust them, but this only works in the app and doesn't transpose over to the watch. The options they provide are minimal and most workout activities are not even there? There isn't even a aerobic workout or spinning?The auto workout doesn't work at all, unless it is connecting to the GPS and sees that you are moving. If you are working out and forget to manually turn on the workout feature, forget it, you won't get it tracked no matter how hard you work out or how high your heart rate goes. The GPS tracking is basic and doesn't compare to the one on fitbit. You cannot map out where you have been or see your tracks.I honestly hate this watch so much. I curse it almost every day for one reason or another. Switching to this watch was the biggest mistake. Do NOT purchase this watch. When I did try to call the customer service they were not helpful, didn't understand my questions and just told me that this is the way it was and I would have to send the watch in for service. At the time it was only a month or two old.
Absolutely terrible after 6+ months of use. In the beginning it was okay tracking workouts, but after 4 months or so the Under Armour APP is the worst part of this watch, and it is the main reason I got it. I've been using mapmyfitness for 11 years to keep track of all of my workouts and I got this watch specifically for this purpose.I've been through the whole deal with support and they have no answer for me. The best they could do is tell me to uninstall it from the watch...WHEN I CAN'T because it's native to the watch (greyed out, no option to uninstall).Whenever I try to use the workout (MMF-UA) app, it stalls at least 10 times before it miiiiiight load all the way. It keeps loading, whenever I get to a page I want to use, the screen turns off, and I have to ... MoreAbsolutely terrible after 6+ months of use.

It keeps loading, whenever I get to a page I want to use, the screen turns off, and I have to start from scratch, somewhere between 10 and 50 times. This happens for up to a half hour when I give up or it starts working.Then when it starts, there is a definite delay in everything that happens, then EEEEEVEN if you finally get the app to START and record your run, for the last month it will tell me it recorded it, give me stats, let me hit the check mark to save the workout, and after it's all done, apparently the last months worth of workouts were NEVER RECORDED ON THE WEBSITE/APP. SO FRUSTRATING.I'm so done with this watch. It is so slow overall that I just can't take it anymore. It works decently well for most other things that it is supposed to, but for someone who bought a workout watch specifically for a specific workout app that comes pre-installed on the watch because he workouts out every day......way too much frustration. Buyer Beware.
