I've been watching a few reviews about this watch and this is hands down the best I've seen. Real world informative and clear. This channel is my 'go to' for reviews, Thao manages to provide information that others miss.
@@marklakeman697 i think she only has the Bluetooth version and not the LTE. I could be wrong but from what I understood this is the Bluetooth one. I just purchased this watch in rose gold myself because unfortunately they were out of the black. Here in Canada we can only purchase the Bluetooth option. Unfortunately no LTE version for us which is a disappointment. Either way great watches.
Just got my samsung smart watch and I absolutely love it the bad side is the battery life but it lasts me one day thanks for making this video it was a huge help when I got mine
I've been waiting for this review. I just made the switch from apple to samsung - note 10+ and recently the galaxy watch active 2. i got the rose gold in the 44mm. its an adjustment from the apple watch but so far I'm enjoying it. one thing I love is how light it is. I honestly forget I'm wearing it. the battery is decent; I get abt 2-3 days. I just have to get used to the digital rotating bezel; the struggle is real lol. great review as always. sincerely, fairly new subscriber ;)
meltastic I went back to the iPhone mainly for the Apple Watch! How does it compare? Can you launch this assistant and tell her to send messages and make phone calls etc like the Apple Watch?
I like how you slipped the sponsor in there randomly making it fit into the video instead of saying “today’s sponsor on this videos is” Nice review, good details
Hi there - I would love to hear your views on the fitness tracking - is it improved compared to the galaxy watch? I am considering switching to the Active 2 due to the slimmer, sleeker look !
I originally got a galaxy watch partially because of your positive reviews months ago and I loved it! Unfortunately, it stopped holding a charge a month ago so I took it back and they are exchanging it for an Active 2 watch. I knew nothing about that model but hoped for the best because I had to make a decision in the moment. So glad to see this review! I will definitely miss the bezel though. I think the galaxy watch is bulky but it looks prettier but I'm glad I'll still get the upgrades they've made to the Active 2.
Hello! What is your wrist size? I bought the 44mm but I'm worried about being too big for my wrist. I didn't find any videos of woman using a 44mm active 2 watch for comparison
Thanks for the smartwatch reviews. You project good natural charisma on camera. I purchased the 42mm Galaxy Watch and also a Samsung Active2 for Christmas presents. Thanks again for these videos.
I've been using the 42 mm Galaxy watch since September 2019 and I love it and I bought it over the active 2 because I like the physical rotating and it just feels more premium in my opinion
I replaced my Galaxy Active to Active 2 in the 44mm for the same reasons as yours and so glad I did. Only problem was spending $200 on the original Active :/ Hope you like it as much as I like mine, oh and the battery life is WAY better.
What I'd love to know: have they improved the active part? I have the original active and while I like it, the HR drops out during some workouts and the calories aren't accurate (or even close). I have a pretty good idea of how many I need/burn but still. The battery life is also horrendous. That being said, the addition of the mic and speaker is huge so I'm currently between this and the Garmin 4S.
Can you make a video about the use of a smart watch? Like why do I need a smart watch? I disable most notifications on my phone so I don't really it on my watch (!?)
Thao if possible, could you make a video on your experience with the iPhone 11? How it compares to your experience with the Note10 +? I've been debating on jumping over to Apple but have been on the fence for a while now. I've been a Samsung user for years and have been content with it. If not, could you please share your thoughts? Thank you!
I don't know. I love my galaxy watch frontier. But the battery life is noticably different and it won't charge on the stock charger anymore so it's becoming a pain. Not sure if i want to make a switch or just get another frontier though, or just deal with it until the next galaxy watch comes out in a year or whatever. It looks nice, not sure if it's worth the upgrade though
BigRafTV id personally keep the watch. It’s cheaper to do so and the watch active 2 uses the same processor as the galaxy watch. I’m personally keeping my gear s3 for another year, because it is still working fine
Just bought the LTE watch after returning the regular one. What am I to do about the battery life??? It seems so short? How am I to track my steps, sleep all that if the watch is on the charger?
I ordered the 44 gold stainless steel last night and can't wait! My first smartwatch so I'm very anxious to get it and try out. Also, unrelated question, where'd you get that pink sweater cause I love it!
You will love it. Trust me. Years ago I wasn't too fond of it. Then I decided to buy my Fossil smartwatch and loved it. It stopped charging, one day I'll get it fixed lol, and I needed another smartwatch. Saw Thao's review of the Galaxy Active and bought it. I wear it ALL THE TIME. But now I'm thinking of getting the Active 2.
The problem that I am having is...When I talk on my watch for phone calls I can't seem to turn up volume and I can't hear what is being said. Is there anyway to turn it up more?
I'm trying to buy my first smartwatch and I'm debating between the galaxy watch and galaxy watch active 2. Are there any specific pros or cons that would help me choose between the two?
This was my first smart watch & as much as I loved the look of the leather'ish strap, as much as I 'babied it', it really stay looking 'new' very long & I ended up replacing it with a sportband.
So glad I watched this one I was struggling to decide between this one and the rotating dial watch definitely going to buy the rotating dial one thanks for review very clear 👍😘
Hi, Just want to know...dont you think while swimming these leather strips will get effected taking that factor into consideration that this watch is ip68 certified?
now in samsung galaxy watch active 1 has a thing to do with that black bezel or whatever it is called around watch now you have touch bezel too on it just need to install new version i already did it and touch bezel is amazing
Out of several reviews, I have NOT found any review that discussed on email and calendar, in particular on MS Outlook on Galaxy watch active 2. It appears Galaxy watch could show Outlook email but there was no discussion Outlook calendar. A confirmation and demonstration will be excellent. Thank you
I'm glad she made the comment about swapping the bands because I haven't gotten mines yet but it's on the way and I was looking at watch bands I would see some I liked but it would only say compatible for the first active so it's nice to know they share the same bands
I just got one of these from T-Mobile it has LTE and the band is a little small. Still trying to figure out what it does. I need the band to be a half inch bigger.
I have the Galaxy Watch 46mm and is it worth upgrading it to Active 2 or just stick with Galaxy Watch? I don't like how bulky it is but not sure if there is huge software upgrade from Galaxy Watch to Active 2. Thank you and love your videos!
The active 2 in your video has a shiny casing. I thought the new active 2 models have matt aluminum finishes?? Is this the stainless steel LTE version in the video?
I’m stuck on what size I should get. I’m used to the original Watch Active. I’m all for a bigger screen, I’m just afraid the 44 will be to big for my wrist. I do have the Galaxy Watch but quit using it when I got my active because I found it to be too heavy and bulk. Also should I get the rose gold or the silver? What is your opinion?
I have the old galaxy watch and I loved that you put the new active 2 band at the end on it ! It does look way better!! Do you know where I can get one?
i really want to know is it worth it to upgrade it? Also did you say the face space is the same as your first watch, i have long nails and feel so clumsy with the smaller face, does the larger face come in gold , i really wanted rose gold in the larger face
Hey thanks for the lovely video, very helpful, just one question... could you please let me know how do u charge d watch? Because there is no adapter inside...do u use laptop USB? Because now a days all phone adapter having fast charging so i am unable to use d same because voltage and amp both are very high compared to d actual capacity needed to charge d watch... thanks in advance..😊🙏
Thao, I'm so excited right now and anticipated regarding your general opinion! ❤️ I'm mainly interested in knowing if the Active 2 will be kicking your Galaxy Watch off its throne, especially looking at fitness and tracking accuracy. As for me I don't have a smart watch yet but my fiancé has the 46mm S3 Frontier, so as a S3 follower I'm very interested in the Galaxy Watch. I go to the gym three to four times a week so combining a watch and a fitness tracker would be ideal for me. But now that I get the option to choose between the GW and the A2 it makes it hard for me... 😁 Sorry for my poor English and best regards from Germany. 😘

Not me. I'm happy with my Gear S3
You're so beautiful 😍
@Kate AngeloI never sleep with a watch on. Uncomfortable to me
i still got mines and still wear it now i love this watch it do everthing for me i love it now
Over a year in, I'm loving it! Couldn't care less about the lack of physical bezel, the haptic feedback satiates my primal anticipation!
Is the watch still good for everyday use like texting and calling and listening to music?
First of your reviews I've watched - love it. The world needs more female reviewers for tech gadgets. Keep it up!!
I'm getting my samsung galaxy watch active two Friday I hope it's everything I expected
I've been watching a few reviews about this watch and this is hands down the best I've seen. Real world informative and clear. This channel is my 'go to' for reviews, Thao manages to provide information that others miss.
Had it for a year and still love it!! Mostly use it for tracking my weightloss journey but very fashionable at the same time.
I would love to see a full and in-depth side-by-side comparison between the Galaxy Watch and the Galaxy Watch Active 2.
This did it for me too, I been looking for a nice looking smartwatch, that not only focus on training. Thank you for this :D
I need one of these in my life. I like the design and features you shared 👍🏾

Love how you presented the whole thing .

Hey Thao! Just wanted to say you make really great videos and you should keep up the good work!

Luv ya girl. Always can expect good info from you. I'm waiting for my delivery now..thank you for the unboxing...👍👍
What's is the color pink or gold of active 2
1:45 - when you hold your hand on the table for a long long time. Hahaha.
Damn, her energy is infectious ❤️
She's cute
Hello! What is your wrist size? I bought the 44mm but I'm worried about being too big for my wrist. I didn't find any videos of woman using a 44mm active 2 watch for comparison
Just purchased mine this evening ! 💕
Thanks for the smartwatch reviews. You project good natural charisma on camera. I purchased the 42mm Galaxy Watch and also a Samsung Active2 for Christmas presents. Thanks again for these videos.
I literally watch your videos for your smiling introduction.♥️
I've been using the 42 mm Galaxy watch since September 2019 and I love it and I bought it over the active 2 because I like the physical rotating and it just feels more premium in my opinion
*bezel*
I replaced my Galaxy Active to Active 2 in the 44mm for the same reasons as yours and so glad I did. Only problem was spending $200 on the original Active :/
Hope you like it as much as I like mine, oh and the battery life is WAY better.
So which watch should I buy? I really wanted the Galaxy watch, but the Galaxy watch active 2 came out.
I would buy the watch active 2 because it is smaller and less expensive.
Fitness accuracy please review.
I get my active 2 (44mm, aluminium) last week and i loove it!
Is it too big? I have smaller wrist but really why the bigger watch.
Ordered, and your reviews are second to none , good job 👌🏼
What I'd love to know: have they improved the active part? I have the original active and while I like it, the HR drops out during some workouts and the calories aren't accurate (or even close). I have a pretty good idea of how many I need/burn but still. The battery life is also horrendous. That being said, the addition of the mic and speaker is huge so I'm currently between this and the Garmin 4S.
This! The watch is beautiful but I tried the active for one week and the HR and calorie burn issue had me go right back to Fitbit.
Can you make a video about the use of a smart watch? Like why do I need a smart watch? I disable most notifications on my phone so I don't really it on my watch (!?)
I love the way you saying "hi everyone thao here" I in loooooooovee
Does the galaxy watch have the thing like the active 2 one where you can take a photo to change the face and suit your outfit? That’s cool as
El samsung galaxy active 2 que muestras en el video, es de 44 o 40mm?
I just want to know, where did you get your sweater at?
American Apparel
Can I leave my phone in the locker at the gym, and still listen to music while working out with this model or would I need the LTE version? 😊
I don’t think you need the LTE Version, but you need to use Spotify or Samsung music to play your music.
I absolutely love your watch reviews. I bought my Active 1 because of you. Now I have to get the second one LOL. Great review Thao.
Thao if possible, could you make a video on your experience with the iPhone 11?
How it compares to your experience with the Note10 +?
I've been debating on jumping over to Apple but have been on the fence for a while now. I've been a Samsung user for years and have been content with it.
If not, could you please share your thoughts?
Thank you!
I don't know. I love my galaxy watch frontier. But the battery life is noticably different and it won't charge on the stock charger anymore so it's becoming a pain. Not sure if i want to make a switch or just get another frontier though, or just deal with it until the next galaxy watch comes out in a year or whatever.

do you prefer the active 2 over your galaxy watch yet
Trying to decide between getting this, or just keeping my regular Galaxy watch 46mm.
BigRafTV id personally keep the watch. It’s cheaper to do so and the watch active 2 uses the same processor as the galaxy watch. I’m personally keeping my gear s3 for another year, because it is still working fine
@@ayopiop2392 You make a very good point. I actually think that's the way that I'm leaning right now.
BigRafTV glad I can help
I just got the Active 2 and so far, I like it.
I ordered a set of screen protectors and a pretty band to wear for dressy events.
Just bought the LTE watch after returning the regular one. What am I to do about the battery life??? It seems so short? How am I to track my steps, sleep all that if the watch is on the charger?
charge it when taking a shower

I can't wait to order one too. It'll also be my first smartwatch!!!

@@sbr1601 I bought LTE variant
I need to get my hands on this Active 2! Been rocking the Galaxy smartwatch since the Gear S3. Always tempted to buy the Gear S2 Classic though 😂
I love watching your reviews ❤️. Please talk about the battery life
Smart Samsung, its a round Apple watch in looks and refinement! I love my Gear 2.
The problem that I am having is...When I talk on my watch for phone calls I can't seem to turn up volume and I can't hear what is being said. Is there anyway to turn it up more?
I'm trying to buy my first smartwatch and I'm debating between the galaxy watch and galaxy watch active 2. Are there any specific pros or cons that would help me choose between the two?
same here any luck
Can you provide the link for the watch straps? I like the strap with the lines in it.
This was my first smart watch & as much as I loved the look of the leather'ish strap, as much as I 'babied it', it really stay looking 'new' very long & I ended up replacing it with a sportband.
So glad I watched this one I was struggling to decide between this one and the rotating dial watch definitely going to buy the rotating dial one thanks for review very clear 👍😘

I thought the stainless steel options were for the LTE models only. Is it possible to buy that with Bluetooth only?
I believe UK can but US only can buy the stainless steel with LTE, and it hasn't been released yet.
Does it works on Samsung Galaxy Note 9
Why is the packaging different from the ones they sell at the store? The one I bought had a square box?
Wondering that too..🤔
Lte versions get better packaging
Can you show us how to pair the watch to your iPhone?
Would like to know more about the my style app... is that thriugh google play or in the wearables app? I can't seem to find it.
Out of several reviews, I have NOT found any review that discussed on email and calendar, in particular on MS Outlook on Galaxy watch active 2. It appears Galaxy watch could show Outlook email but there was no discussion Outlook calendar. A confirmation and demonstration will be excellent. Thank you
Just a question what is the difference between bluetooth and LTE???
Where do I get the stainless steel bluetooth only version? It's only available in certain counties right?
Is there a difference between the wifi version and the lte? Othen than you can still use it withouth having your phone new by?
I'm glad she made the comment about swapping the bands because I haven't gotten mines yet but it's on the way and I was looking at watch bands I would see some I liked but it would only say compatible for the first active so it's nice to know they share the same bands
Would you prefer the active or the Galaxy watch? Is the flat loading button useable for the Galaxy watch too?
The physical rotating bezel has me leaning towards the Galaxy Watch. It protects the screen and is more intuitive to use.
I just got one of these from T-Mobile it has LTE and the band is a little small. Still trying to figure out what it does. I need the band to be a half inch bigger.
Jope u can share a review on how to get the watchmaker apps watch faces to b downloaded on the active 2..🙏🥰
How are you got the watch face from your active 2 on your galaxy watch 42mm ?
I have the Galaxy Watch 46mm and is it worth upgrading it to Active 2 or just stick with Galaxy Watch? I don't like how bulky it is but not sure if there is huge software upgrade from Galaxy Watch to Active 2. Thank you and love your videos!
BP Readings are accurate?
Great review! Can you customise the screen by making it your own photo rather than a stock one?
Is the active 2 small enough for small wrist
The active 2 in your video has a shiny casing. I thought the new active 2 models have matt aluminum finishes?? Is this the stainless steel LTE version in the video?
In Canada we have stainless steel Bluetooth models also. In the US, I believe the stainless steel is LTE only
How is the battery life test out? With and without active display.
I know this is about the watch but... where did she get the sweater from?
Hi,
Is it the 40mm version?
Looking bigger than 40mm.
Thank you🙂
All looks ok
But is it water proof ????
What a nice review.
What size are your wrists? Mine is slightly bigger than 6.5 inch and can't decide between 40 and 44mm
can we wear leather strap watch during a workout ? or shall I go with silicon strap
Not sure if you know but the software upgrade for the watch active, activated the touch bezel.
Can you add and use google assistant instead of bixby, also if you can your favorite ringtone on the watch?
Since this watch has a speaker does it have notification sounds?
Yes it does.
Can you explain hiw to get to specific apps?
Can I change the straps for the aluminium version?
Do you get a less full experience if you connect it with a non Samsung phone?
What about the backing sensor cover feel off? I read a lot of users with the same problem.
I’m stuck on what size I should get. I’m used to the original Watch Active. I’m all for a bigger screen, I’m just afraid the 44 will be to big for my wrist. I do have the Galaxy Watch but quit using it when I got my active because I found it to be too heavy and bulk. Also should I get the rose gold or the silver? What is your opinion?
There is a bezel on the active 2 isnt there?
I have the old galaxy watch and I loved that you put the new active 2 band at the end on it ! It does look way better!! Do you know where I can get one?
Does the watch support the BP like the active watch?
Do you have a rose gold 360 case on your watch? I bought one for my gear sport and it didn't fit but I got the right size
thanks for the info . but how do you download your work outs on your cell?
i really want to know is it worth it to upgrade it? Also did you say the face space is the same as your first watch, i have long nails and feel so clumsy with the smaller face, does the larger face come in gold , i really wanted rose gold in the larger face
Can you use the assistant to make calls ?
Hey thanks for the lovely video, very helpful, just one question... could you please let me know how do u charge d watch? Because there is no adapter inside...do u use laptop USB?

Thao, I'm so excited right now and anticipated regarding your general opinion! ❤️ I'm mainly interested in knowing if the Active 2 will be kicking your Galaxy Watch off its throne, especially looking at fitness and tracking accuracy.
