Samsung Galaxy Watch Active // The Fitness Review

So wholesome. Two of the best fitness tech reviewers showing love. Appreciate you both!

[@bledig]

thanks. did you manage test if it syncs properly to the iphone. my galaxy watch with the same OS doesn't sync to the health app unless i open it, and if i havent for > 4-5 days the older data disappears! do you have this problem?

[@DesFit]

@danny syncing is a bit quirky but for the most part I had to always open the app to get it to sync.

[@Dribbles88]

FINALLY an athlete testing the features, thank you for your time and effort. Subbed and liked. :D

[@thefoss721]

Coming from the military I would wear my watch on the flip side of my wrist (facing in, not away from me while wearing) and it hasnt skipped a beat since, maybe trying spinning that watch onto the inside of your wrist and there alot more veins which would essentially give you a better reading! Try it! Thanks for the video it was solid!

[@terrymace4065]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing to wear it on the under side of my wrist but seems to be doing ok on top so i haven't flipped it yet inconsistent readings can also come from not wearing the band tight enough against the wrist and can pose greater inconsistency.

[@mochabear8312]

@Maz this allows you to look at the time on your wrist without lowering your rifle, imagine your holding a rifle. and then imagine the watch is on the arm that isnt holding hte trigger because you wrist faces up to hold the rifle up. you can look and see the time. it alwso helps keep it out of the way form getting damaged and such. -prior service

[@raichelraine]

Hello Jason, I'm thinking of getting this watch, is the battery life really only a day and a half?

[@thefoss721]

[@berndmusic1985]

I'm happy you mentioned the heart-rate escapes. I thought I'm special or have a broken watch. Thank you so much for the video. I have my Galaxy Watch Active for 4 weeks now and I face the same problem for the heart rate. Even in rest it seems to lock on double my heart-rate until I manually take a measurement with the watch and then I get a correct reading...still, in "Always ON" mode, it has a hard time measuring it - occasionally. Samsung Support doesn't really help even though I provided an accurate description of the problem. For me, it has better accuracy when I don't pull the strap too tightly - it's odd but I think once you start sweating, the sensors have problems determining the correct beat. By wearing it not so tight, there is less chance of sweat building up underneath the watch. These problems go away during sleeping, so it could also be that ambient light disrupts the readings. It was surprisingly accurate while swimming where other devices don't work at all. All in all I think it works great - is super light, so I can wear it while playing tennis. The heart rate thing is a bit odd but I know that the watch is capable of reading correctly, so I hope that this will be fixed in an update when enough people scream about it.

[@thepainteditor]

Would greatly appreciate an update for this watch. Im currently researching watches that would be good at accurately measuring stats from my swims such as laps, distance, strokes, swolf, etc. Would you say that the GWA measures these stats accurately? I swim 3x a week at a 25m indoor pool, 1hour each session so these stats are important to me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

[@tthyssen]

You can always rely on desfit! ✌

[@DesFit]

Thanks! 👍

[@bleekerbaby]

I love that you do HR comparisons. Surprisingly, I find Apple Watch series 4 to be the most accurate HR smart watch I’ve ever had.

If you have not done so already check out my Apple Watch Series 4 review which details a lot of the HR measurements on that device.

Pretty detailed review, and even though I'm a sedentary obese dude I wanna know more about these devices. Subbed!

[@matthewadkisson99]

I wound up returning mine. I wanted to like it so bad since I use a note9. The heart rate monitor just couldn't hang during workouts. Major bummer. Steps were off by over 1000 every day. The battery was terrible. Some cool apps and whatnot but who cares? For something marketed as an ACTIVE device it was severely lacking. I've now been using a Ticwatch pro for almost a week and, while it's not perfect, i've been impressed by the blend of acceptably accurate activity tracking and smartwatch features. Thanks for all your reviews 👍🏻

[@DesFit]

Sure thing, Matthew. I felt the same way about how they named the Gear “Sport”.

I love that you went over all of the little features. It's nice to be able to weigh the pros and cons before I commit to buying it. Will you be doing a review of the Galaxy Watch Active2?

[@DesFit]

Yup, I’ll be reviewing the Active2. Thanks!

[@nursebaern8462]

I have one and I love it. It's much smaller on your wrist and comfortable than other watches. You can't answer calls from your watcj but if you have a headset or wireless airbuds as soon as you answer it on the watch the call will pick up on your headphones. I can even start my music on it without taking out my phone. I sometimes forget I even have a watch on which is great.

[@shirleycunningham6644]

Tiffanni how do you find the battery I'm only getting just over the day on it and I havent even used it for strength training yet

The watch says its not released for another 10 days, maybe they will get an update to polish off some of the issues when it launches. Samsung probably views these kinds of release videos too see the feedback. My preorder comes tomorrow ill see how mine works.

I've been researching for hours on which fitness watch I want to buy. I find it incredibly overwhelming. Best review of this watch by far. What tracker do you recommend? Top priorities are HR and swimming. Any help, by anyone, is welcomed. (FYI, I'm using S10e, so no apple)

[@NeilThePinoy]

as far as HR go i would definitely stay away from any Samsung watches. They are all horrible at keeping accurate heart rate. Try fitbit or garmin if HR/swimming is your priority

[@thepainteditor]

Im also in the process of looking for an accurate tracker for swimming. Accurately measuring laps, distance, strokes/strokes per min, swolf, etc are things Im looking for. Im definitely interested in what you ended up getting or what you would suggest!

[@Bjbarend]

Thanks for the review Des! I took a leap and bought it before your review came out and, I'm dissapointed. My first 5k run, I also had the HR problems, even thereafter it stuggled to start reading my bpm again. The steps are okay, but its def still off. The other major problem is how Samung defines a "floor". You have to move for 3m uphill inorder to register a floor climb. So me walking up and down my house's staircase registered NOTHING, but running the stairs at my office does improve the accuracy, because it is "longer" stairs... I am really not impressed as this is labeled as ACTIVE but it seriously lacks... You might aswell buy a Galaxy Watch cause the health features are lacking. :( i am going to return mine for a refund. I believe some of Fitbits cheapest watches might even do a better job at fitness. RIP Samung , such a shame

[@pebre79]

Thanks for posting a very well researched review. It helped me make decision

[@DesFit]

The best review for galaxy watch active. I am going for it !

[@billwilson1928]

Took a shot on this myself and ended up returning it. Samsung Health is it's Achilles heel along with the battery life. Even though the battery specs are largely the same I get much better life out of the AW4. And for pure sports tracking, Garmin or Suunto are much better and accurate. Great review though, glad it wasn't just me.

[@DesFit]

Thanks! And no it wasn’t just you. It’s a shame that over the course of 3 watches (Gear Sport, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active) that there are very few improvements if any with Samsung Health.

[@msft777jf]

hey man great thorough video. Samsung released an update a few weeks ago that allegedly correctly accounts for heart rate. Seems that the algorithm was indeed off. Have you seen if the update shows improvement?

[@djrollerx81]

I purchased this watch this (2019) holiday season (and I got a nice deal for $120) but it just wasn't quite good enough for me. A new update enabled the haptic rotating bezel, but it felt awkward and didn't work consistently. I'm an iPhone owner, and I could definitely tell that certain features were missing because of that. Ultimately, the battery life is what got me to return this watch to the store. I was only able to get about 18 hours from it before it went dead. If you are okay with charging your watch every night while sleeping, this wouldn't be an issue, but I don't like getting down to the last few hours of the evening and seeing my device under 15% battery. Knowing that I'll be running on fumes as I get to my nightstand isn't my cup of tea.

Thank you, good man! I stay with my TomTom Runner 3 while it works. I do not have to buy a new watch ... This watch is not a sports watch, Garmin is too expensive, Suunto and Polar do not offer a sports watch with everything like heart rate monitoring and MP3 player. In reality, I'm just thinking of buying a bracelet like Polar OH1 and running it with a smartphone. And wait for a good sports watch with everything for a reasonable price. Too bad that TomTom has stopped. Greetings from Germany.

So calories burned was always bad on the GW. One issue is obviously the heartrate dropping completely, the other is how Samsung calculates it's data. I could use Under Armor Record and the calories burned would match nicely to my chest strap, whereas the Galaxy would be 30-40 percent less. Gonna take a second and thank you for all your reviews. When I was dissatisfied with the GW I turned to you to get your views on Garmin and Suunto.

[@DesFit]

But this Galaxy Watch Active is smaller and it is better for people that have a email wrist like my teenager wrist size.

Love the video! I am so torn now on what to do. Switched to Samsung for the S10+, but I am avid into fitness and tracking my workouts. I got the Active to replace my Apple watch, but now I am feeling I should just stick with Apple.

[@DesFit]

It's tough because most people are tied to their phone of choice - no judgement, every one has their own preference. With that being said, Apple does put much more effort into the algorithms and underlying software. But Garmin should also be considered - not the display quality nor the robust smartwatch experience as Samsung or Apple, but excels in the fitness side of things.

nice review - enjoyed all of your comments. Depending on how many hours a Day you wear your watch also plays a big factor - I am wearing mine from 5 AM - 9PM - which is 16 hours - I do use about 1 to 1.5 hrs of outdoor exercise and still factor that I would get maybe 30-32 hours (so for me 2 days). I do not wear it to track sleep though it is small enough to use it for that. I also will charge it every night. I don't use the Always on Display (AOD) - but might do that later. I find it a very comfortable watch and the responsiveness to the tizen interface is much , much better than the WearOS (I really wanted my TicWatch Pro to workout for me - but it just couldn't). Thanks again-

[@liquidbluedreamz]

Thanks for all your hard work. I really enjoy the detail and scope of your vids. Great work! Now for a quick question. I have both the Amazfit Stratos and the Galaxy Watch Active, if you had to choose between them for heart rate data and fitness analytics which would you choose? And which would you choose overall considering all features?

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

it seems like Garmin needs to step in to the Wear OS market for people that want an active watch with more features. i had a Fenix 3HR and switched to the Series 3 because of the features that Watch OS had over it.

Maybe Samsung will issue a software fix for this issue.

Same here, vivoactive 3 music or galaxy active, i've got the active now 1 week and i'm glad that Des made this video, because this are my experiences as well.. So sad, the issues with HRM, i really hope they come up with an software update to fix it.

Also I found that it does NOT support NFC payment via iOS so I returned mine. Would have used my android phone instead but they also do not support NFC payment w android unless it is a samsung phone. So please keep that in mind if you go to buy this watch. Otherwise it is actually a great little watch, but they need to open it up to more platforms.

Thanks for the detailed review and really diving into the fitness features which I've never seen anyone do on KZbin. I have a Gear S3 and have never used the weight lifting exercises so it's cool that it lets you join multiple exercises performed together into one workout. Too bad the watch performs so poorly on actually starting to count reps though. Going to try it out on my watch and see if it does any better.

[@DesFit]

It was hit and miss where it worked really well on the original Galaxy Watch but didn’t really work on the Active. Very strange.
