Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (44mm) - In Depth Review - The Best Smartwatch in the World?

[@Tavu55]

I have already ordered such a smartwach and watched dozens of reviews. It seemed to me by far the best, most complete and most useful. Congratulations. From now on I will follow this channel.

[@ChigzTech]

Glad to hear, thanks.

I've never seen a person with a apple device actually say something positive about Samsung 🤣

[@sakuragi1062]

You dont seen enough.

[@anwarsadath2919]

Fun fact. Apple uses Samsung's display. Samsung is the best competitor to apple. As an iPhone user I say Samsung is one of the best out there.

[@tdhd]

I was surprised to see the phone actually works when paired to an iphone. I think I’m buying

Pretty sure they have samsung tv and or appliances lol

How's the watch?

[@nebeta100]

The best review of the watch I have seen so far. 👍

[@ChigzTech]

Glad you liked, thanks.

Your video IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS NEEDED THANK YOU!!!

[@psprogamingyt]

U look so cute

[@tunasalad4402]

Finally somebody who reviews it on an iPhone. Great reviews:-)

[@PeterHughes]

I've had this watch for just over a week and agree with everything this reviewer says. It's brilliant, and absolutely no regrets in buying it.

[@thatkeyboardgirlsha3442]

me too! i just bought mine a day ago and i already customised the heck out of it. Try the Facer free app for some of the best looking watch faces ever, just a tip, i am not connected to the app in any way

[@jackmateus813]

Best review on the watch. Has covered everything. I've ordered mine 👍

[@ethanpurchase5869]

I am getting one and tried 40mm and 44mm but not sure which one to get. Do you reckon that 44mm is better because it’s easier on your fingers and the watch face makes it easier?

[@omgjadenn]

Omg same idk

[@paulc8778]

Just changed my Galaxy watch for the active 2 44mm in aluminium black (or a very dark blue) and it’s superb. I thought the original watch although excellent, was a bit heavy especially when cycling and walking, and I still wanted a good watch to record my data plus using during my everyday life The active 2 is in my view, is better. It’s a lot lighter and connects to the Samsung app seamlessly while doing everything the galaxy watch does. Had this for 1 day now and set up my emails, calendars and everything else plus just called the wife from the watch, really clear. Also just added a few more apps. So all in all, this is the one to get. I did have the Amazfit which I sent back as I didn’t want to be using two watches when 1 would do. It was again a decent watch but the supporting app was useless as it kept losing connectivity hence wanting to stay with my Samsung phone while using the excellent watch app with no WIFI or connectivity issues. I love the strap also, comfortable and with the excess tucking under the strap, it doesn’t get caught up when out and about.

[@richardh6089]

I have it too but the LTE version and it comes with a leather strap it’s now my main watch.

[@zach6707]

The reason the watch can't find your nearest cinema is because you have location off.

[@uzairmohammed5134]

That's not the reason at all. I have location turned on on mine and Bixby can't find nearby places. It's simply not supported. You can actually see this in the video because after the command was given, Bixby loaded up the Smartthings capsule, which is used for smart home control and not finding nearby places. When I first got my watch about a month ago, there was a Yelp capsule. Samsung for whatever reason removed it.

[@toncatboy]

Its because the watch is limited on IOS. On an Android watch, finding the nearest cinema would work.

[@mdanrmdadn9378]

Does it support Google map

[@HadomPadom]

I have never seen somebody so in depth with a review I absolutely love it I would say you are just as detailed as I am if not more fantastic job my friend it's 2021 and I can pick that watch up for $120 on Amazon I'm totally doing it

[@Bobs2cents]

Yours is the absolute best review! You have answered all my questions about this smartwatch. Thanks for such in depth commentary. I will be following this channel from now on!👍👍👍

What a fantastic review. REALLY enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

[@BigJnWorldWide]

I just ordered one based on your review. My voice was between the Galaxy Watch 46mm and the Active 2 44mm. I'm super active at work so I need the watch to be lightweight and have functional features. Thanks for the review!

[@shareefsersawi]

Best review out there for the Galaxy Active 2, Good Job 👌🏻

[@ChigzTech]

Thanks

[@donatellag1977]

Your review is what I was looking for thank you!!!!

[@rajeshb1013]

I have watched many other reviews on KZbin but this one is the best review for Galaxy watch active 2.I have one question buddy...do we need to buy glass protection like tempered glass for this watch or its fine without it?

[@ChigzTech]

Im glad you liked the video. I use my galaxy watches both the active 2 and the original without any screen projector, there is not a single scratch, even though I have been quite rough and on occasion clumsy, the gorilla glass is exceptional quality and very strong.

[@SpeedpekaVEVO]

@@ChigzTech Late reply, but any chance for a scratch test? Was checking for smartwatches with Sapphire glass first, found the Huawei GT 2 Pro, but that one has significantly less options than this one on paper. But i really dont want it to scratch at work etc.. Also been looking for Sapphire glass screenprotectors, but there seem to be 0 verified ones around i think? Been 'researching' into smartwatches for the past 2 days, started with comparing ~320 smartwatches to check for Sapphire glass, had 4 leftovers of wich the GT 2 Pro had the best price/quality ratio but yea, no wifi/app compatibility for things like Spotify :/

[@kevinjoju]

Thank you for the detailed review. The on wrist comparison with the galaxy watch was very helpful. !!

I love my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (44mm) Just got it yesterday

[@waddac2]

I have never had a smart watch and my watches have been the Radio Controlled watches for precise time. I am now looking at buying a smart watch, which will obviously do the same thing in correct time. I like to wear my watch 24/7 even in a shower or really hot bath. The Samsung Active 2 says water resistant to 50 meters, is this so and is it okay used in a hot bath???? People also state that you NEED to use water rejection on the watch and not sure why if states 50m water resistant. If you have covered this, I apologize but love my Samsung S20+ phone and want a Samsung watch but have limited funds. Help and advice much appreciated. PS.. Will probably not use the watch for calling or texting etc.

[@cusburger]

Awesome in depth review and video man, I've just ordered mine today to this will help get me started on the basics. But the more important question is, who is Katrina??

[@K_ingh16]

we will never know

[@ajcph]

Is this still a recommended watch for 2020? I have a huawei mate 10 pro and was thinking of getting the huawei gt2 or this? Any advice would be appreciated

[@wuszu36]

Already have Samsung Galaxy watch 42mm for like 6 month's or so... but nop, nop, nop tomorrow I'm going to get myself active 2! It's amazing!

[@greenfuel2019]

Wow! That was a very detailed review - thanks!

[@1979com]

Big question, would you say it's better then ur Samsung Galaxy watch. Even with a smaller battery? Thanks Chigz for you videos.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes it’s better or as good. But after a few months you will miss that Samsung Galaxy rotating bezel.

Does charging via a fast charger damages the battery or the watch supports fast charging? Thnxs

[@graceaiko5420]

i never got such a throughout review on youtube! GREAT CONTENT! keep up the good work! Also, you have cleared my doubts on the connectivity between the watch and apple phone. May I know are you able to put images as the watch face with a clock on it?

[@voqzmk2]

This is an amazing review, it shows all the features and you are not lying to your viewers. Amazing video!

[@amar2010ize]

Can you talk or reply to text on this watch when connected with iPhone ? Or is this feature available only with android ?

[@ChigzTech]

That feature is android only.

[@kirillongurov5236]

Is it still worth buying this watch, or should i invest in the new lineup since they are getting a software switch and update?

[@ChigzTech]

I would wait and see what the new line-up is like.

[@capitalcabs1278]

Still my galaxy watch is king of the Physical bezel Charging cradle 👑 Screen on hand rise... 😍 Both are same.. Thanks chigz

[@ChigzTech]

Yes the galaxy watch is still a superb watch.

[@roddleswwhitey3119]

Love the review. I've got the frontier and the screen has horizontal lines as though it's a glitch or something so I'm looking at buying this one. Any advise on whether I should replace the LCD or just get the active 2? Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks

[@jaffersadique4736]

I guess u need to turn on location in watch settings to check nearest cinema. Just my guessing

Its too late for comments?. I don't think so, Is amazing this presentation! is fantastic this watch and the watch 3. Thank you buddy!

Does active 2 watch have any problem connecting with iphone? What function wont be able to work properly?

Wow man, what a fantastic review! I just ordered this from BestBuy here in Canada. It is $400 right now, but I got it "refurbished" for $270+ taxes, can't wait to see it! I've held off from getting a smart watch until your video. Cheers!

[@ramyokash306]

I am about to buy a smartwatch, but I am confused between Galaxy Watch 46mm and Active 2.. so please suggest me one. Is the battery so long in the Galaxy Watch that I can go for it?? Is this the only difference?

[@ChigzTech]

Main difference is the design.

[@juliauwanto]

7 inch wrist size would u recommend 40mm active 2?

Hello,do you have to set up a separate phone line/account for the functions to work on the watch such as phone calls or notifications?

[@supermeseriasu]

Worth upgrade from samsung galaxy watch?

[@michaelshelnutt1779]

Great review - I got the LTE version - and when I am using it I am getting maybe 16 hours out of it. This was making use of some of the other features - like GPS (running) , Music player (onboard music) the 44mm sized watch - so a big difference!

[@danielpsota4836]

Does the 44mm drain more battery ?

Just ordered this with the S20 ultra from EE with unlimited 5G on both the phone and the watch. Appreciate your video. I feel like I know the device now..can't believe I'm going back to the dark side, never thought I'd be living with exynos again, but apparently the 990 is decent enough.

[@alaingoossens4313]

Thanks for the great review... best review smartwatch i've seen. lots of details. I follow this channel !

[@rueben44]

I loved my S2 and some other Samsung watch I had. Why, because I could leave my phone and play music from the watch. My S2 did have a number so I would forward calls to it but I am not paying for extra access anymore. I just ordered this watch after reviewing many other watches all day. Samsung has been solid for me when it comes to watches so I agree with your comments.

[@marioaugusto5185]

Hi Chiz, i bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm on Amazon last month. But now on Amazon black friday the Samsung watch active 2 steel is for 199€. Althouth i like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm the heart rate sensor sometimes during workouts doesn t show the heart rate. And takes some time to mark again. And i know that the active 2 has better sensors and Bluetooth 5.0. Tell me.. your SINCERALLY opinion. Because you have all 3 models of Samsung watchs.. must i try to return to Amazon the Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm and buy the active 2 steel!?? I would like your SINCERALLY opinion.. Regards

Most videos ive watched are just reviews of the specs but no demos on what the watch can do on calls.

[@garya2680]

Great video and loved the spreadsheet! Please could you add on-device storage of music as a criterion. ADVICE PLEASE!! I have seen the FitBit Ionic show workout video (e.g. press ups) on the watch and wondered if this was a feature on the two smartwatches I am torn between? Which is the Samsung Active 2, and the Huawei GT 2 Pro, anyone out there able to advise which is best for Android phone? The main differences seem to be: the Samsung has contactless pay and voice assist, access to more third party apps, slightly smaller screen width and depth, 14grams lighter, and on-screen bezel, and respond to notifications (text WhatsApp etc.) as positives. But the Huawei has the longer battery life (14 days as opposed to 2-3 days - when "always on" is turned off), has SP02, better resolution and has an inbuilt compass and return home function!
