Model overview based on user reviews
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 40mm is praised for its stylish design, bright Super AMOLED display, and comprehensive fitness tracking features, including heart rate monitoring and GPS. Users appreciate its comfortable fit and the ability to change watch faces to match outfits. The watch supports Bluetooth connectivity for headphones, allowing for music playback without a phone. However, some users report issues with water resistance, leading to damage, and note that the battery life can be short, often requiring daily charging. The NFC payment feature is not functional in some regions, such as Ukraine. Despite these drawbacks, the watch is considered a good companion for workouts and daily notifications, with a user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. Overall, it is a recommended purchase for those seeking a versatile smartwatch with a range of features, though potential buyers should be cautious of its water resistance claims.

Informative, (various functions - wash clothes, take the child, set the table... eh...))) The charge is taken quickly. Answering a call is convenient from the watch, you are sitting on a white throne or standing by the stove, or the phone is forgotten in your pocket somewhere, or when you are driving - notifications or a call from the watch. Comfortable. Battery, wireless charging, before this there was a Pebble Steel and mi 2 has something to compare with in terms of battery. It sits down in 2 days or 4, depending on how it is used. It’s already a habit to charge every evening if you don’t sit down or sit down..., along with the telephone and the colony blgo hub for this matter. use Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm more than year |
Yes, you can take calls (I tested it - it works. In practice, this feature wasn't needed in two months). Yes, you can reply (in some messengers) to incoming messages (usage experience similar to the previous point). Yes, you can listen to music directly from the watch. Connected wireless headphones two evenings, and oh success, it works! In practice, well, you know, it hasn't been needed yet. No, you can't watch YouTube, as some articles wrote. I found a browser on the watch, but they don't support access to the service, and paying for an app to check if it works - well, it's like that. In conclusion, by my standards, they have significant drawbacks, which turned out to be extremely critical for me. I didn't think that a watch for €287 would miscalculate calories, sleep, or fail to find a phone. If you plan to use the watch for answering calls, texts, etc. - go ahead and buy it. In other cases, honestly, they're not worth it. It's not a €287 toy, unfortunately. After 2 months of use. Beautiful. Impressive. Aesthetic pleasure. • Neither accurate calorie counting nor a variety of workouts. Out of 10 types of workouts on the watch and 30+ in the app, there's no "free workout" or crossfit. There is an "other exercises" option, but it counts inaccurately: 450 kcal for 2 hours, while the Honor 4 and Mi Band 5, worn simultaneously, calculated 870 and 960 kcal. Accuracy is zero. For someone like me, who exercises regularly, this is very critical. • Sleep. They calculate sleep in their own (read: stupid) way... again, neither Honor 4 nor Mi Band 5 agree with the sleep data from Samsung Galaxy Active 2. • No phone search feature. On March 15, 2021, the Samsung team completely refused to support geolocation tracking -> making it impossible to find the phone. From a smart, damn, watch. For 287 EUR *face_palm*. Again, the Mi Band 5, priced at 29 EUR (exactly 10 times less than Samsung Galaxy Active 2!) finds the phone without any problems. use Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm few months |
Nice watch with a lot of features, but there are a couple of issues: 1) Tizen OS This is Samsung's own OS, and naturally, it doesn't support apps for watches with Android Wear. 2) NFC They included it here, but forgot to add support for Ukraine. Samsung Pay doesn't work and is unlikely to in the future, and there's no way to bypass this with another app (like Google Pay) due to point 1. 3) By default, blood pressure measurement only works in a small number of countries. To get blood pressure and ECG measurements working in Ukraine, you need to install a hacked Samsung Health Monitor app on the watch. It's not really a big problem, but it left a bit of an impression.

Watching YouTube or photos from Telegram is more for information purposes. We look at the weather through the window anyway. Blood pressure monitor - Omron, even though it's implemented in the watch, is calibrated just in case. Strap - a bunch to match the phone case, wallet, clothing. I don't use Samsung Pay even on the phone. Few people use NFC for Google or Samsung Pay.
