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.
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?
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.
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
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
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!👍👍👍
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.
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.
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!
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
I have watched many other reviews on RUclips 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?
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.
@@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 :/
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?
Galaxy Watch Active2, an LTE Samsung smartwatch that tracks your sleep and heart rate, pairs to your phone easily and provide awesome functionality... Truly an amazing one.
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?
Yes, it uses bluetooth 5.0, and that supports 2 devices at once. The Galaxy Watch in contrast however does not; it's running Bluetooth 4.something and only supports 1 connected device. I just found out you can watch RUclips on this thing too, just wow!
@@hdmedia7404 actually I have both smartwatches synced to my iPhone and I interchange depending on the day/occasion. I really like the apple watch as it suites the apple eco. But I also really like the galaxy watch. So I use both, interchanging between them.
Chigz Tech Reviews Thx for your kind return. I hesitate btw the Active 2, the Apple Watch 5 and the Garmin forerunner 245 music!!! I already got the Gear s3 frontier and classic. Garmin has a nice look (but bit small 42mm) and the Apple Watch is sooooo expensive here in France ($550).
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
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??
Do you know if there is any way to see more than the last notification of an app? In case of whatsapp, can I only see the last message I recieved when I swipe right? I’m using the watch with an iPhone, btw
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.
thanks for review, better info than on Samsung official site, will now buy this watch, can you advise quality of fitness tracker - does it give a pace timer for your run ?
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
Fabulous! What a fantastic and complete review! It cleared all my doubts about the smart watch and the review has prodded me to order active 2 right away. Keep going gentleman! Have a great year ahead!
Wow wow wow !!! Very complete review, I'm absolutely going for this en, it's amazing 😁 and you really love what you do such a super useful perfect video you got a new subscriber 🙋🏿♂️💪🏿
Do you know how to install applications while not having the galaxi store not being a samsung phone? I need help because it will arrive tomorrow and I don't know what to expect.
I have been wanting this watch for a long time, but not been sure if this is the one for me, cuz there is so many to choose from lately. But after watching your video, I was sure this was a perfect fit for me! So I've just made my order, and I am so exited for it to come! Thank you so much for making my decision so much easier!
Good evening! An SOS question today I received the watch and the model writes (samsung active 2 SM-R820) there is some difference from the regular watch and if so what? .Thank you!
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!
It certainly is useful and looks and feels like a normal watch. You can go swimming with it, dunning, cycling and it will detect the type of activity. Simply amazing.
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.
You can connect to non saumsung phones. I was using this watch with the Huawei P30 Pro and now I’m using it with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. No connection issues at all.
ktowncap I have heard about it too, but not experienced it myself. The active 2 has already received many firmware updates so it may have happened early release. But now I can confirm it works great.
The watch vibrates when I scroll to the end of a list/menu it vibrates to indicate it as well as shows this visually. When I use the touch bezel too for each scroll it vibrates. Some apps also causes the watch to vibrate. I would like to turn off all these vibrations as it becomes annoying and uncomfortable. Can you assist?

Same here
How long the battery lasted for?
@@balongfish 2 days
Mine broke cause I went into the water without turning the thing on and I didn't know u needed to
I've never seen a person with a apple device actually say something positive about Samsung 🤣
You dont seen enough.
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.
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
Youre righhhhhhhhttttttttt
This is a fantastic review. I bought this watch just now based on this video alone. Very impressive!
How's the watch?
The best review of the watch I have seen so far. 👍
Glad you liked, thanks.
Finally somebody who reviews it on an iPhone. Great reviews:-)
Your video IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS NEEDED THANK YOU!!!
U look so cute
Best review on the watch. Has covered everything. I've ordered mine 👍

Just got mine should I get a screen protector
The reason the watch can't find your nearest cinema is because you have location off.
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.
Its because the watch is limited on IOS. On an Android watch, finding the nearest cinema would work.
Does it support Google map
What a fantastic review. REALLY enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Big question, would you say it's better then ur Samsung Galaxy watch. Even with a smaller battery? Thanks Chigz for you videos.
Yes it’s better or as good. But after a few months you will miss that Samsung Galaxy rotating bezel.
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!
What did you took
Is it still worth buying this watch, or should i invest in the new lineup since they are getting a software switch and update?
I would wait and see what the new line-up is like.
Katrina's voice is lovely.
Does charging via a fast charger damages the battery or the watch supports fast charging? Thnxs
Chigz Tech Reviews, you rock! Love your content. Looking forward to your next video.
🙏
Show the comparation of the samsung Galaxy watch and the Samsung Galaxy watch active 2
Mate you have sold this to me. I'm buying one... 👍

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!
Thank you for the detailed review. The on wrist comparison with the galaxy watch was very helpful. !!
Galaxy Watch Active2, an LTE Samsung smartwatch that tracks your sleep and heart rate, pairs to your phone easily and provide awesome functionality... Truly an amazing one.
Does active 2 watch have any problem connecting with iphone?
What function wont be able to work properly?
Best review out there for the Galaxy Active 2, Good Job 👌🏻
Thanks
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?
Main difference is the design.
Can you talk or reply to text on this watch when connected with iPhone ? Or is this feature available only with android ?
That feature is android only.
7 inch wrist size would u recommend 40mm active 2?
We can connect earbuds and phone using bluetooth at the same time with the watch ??
Yes, it uses bluetooth 5.0, and that supports 2 devices at once. The Galaxy Watch in contrast however does not; it's running Bluetooth 4.something and only supports 1 connected device. I just found out you can watch RUclips on this thing too, just wow!
Wow. Man thanks for that full on Indepth review. Helped me make a purchase decision
Can you still download apps with it? I'm looking at one for $60 and I'm wondering if it's a waste
Thanks for the extended review. Now I can buy one without any hesitation.
Did you buys it?
@@arshiaasad8736 Yes I did. But samsung is yet to release ecg and spo2 measurement feature in india. The watch is good actually.
@@JyotirmayaPrusty blame covid
Brilliant review mate! But why didn't you buy an Apple Watch as you're on iOS with your iPhone ?
I have both.

For iPhone...do you think this is a better option than the Apple Watch series 3?
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??
we will never know
Please reply - Im getting it for $155 bluetooth version, should i buy this watch in today's date ??????
is this wifi connects with mobile hotspot and home wifi router?
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!
Great review ! Should I get this , or wait till the Active 3 do you think ?
Get this
Yea I love my Samsung Galaxy 4 smartwatch...Works great and I'm going to buy the samsung galaxy 6 soon
I've just ordered this watch based on this review cheers 👌
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?
Worth upgrade from samsung galaxy watch?
Do you know if there is any way to see more than the last notification of an app? In case of whatsapp, can I only see the last message I recieved when I swipe right? I’m using the watch with an iPhone, btw
Love ur reviews mate! Would u recommend this one or the gear 3 of samsung? As i am not after tracking fitness etc
Great review, helped me out a lot with my decision of which to buy next. Do you ever review Fitbits or compare them with the watches?

huge fuckinf props for timestamps in the description, subbing just for that
Hey, What is your wrist size? mine is 17/18 cm and i do not know if I should buy the 44 or the 40 mm.
We have the same wrist size and I prefer the 44mm. 40 is too small.
@@ChigzTech thanks, for your fast replie! I gonna order the 44 mm.
Does all the functions work for IOS? like talk and reply text whatsapp gps?

Timing in always on display available?
can u listen to music from the watch if you dont have the phone with you? Alos iss there a keypad to dial numbers to call?
Wow! That was a very detailed review - thanks!
Can i call using my iphone11promax.
Is it good for iphones
Just ordered this watch, but when I went to the Galaxy Store app, I did not see any watch faces. Do I need a separate app for the watch?
Would the 40mm Vs 44mm make a difference on how it sits on your wrist depending on how skinny your wrist is?
Brother, I have a Honor watch ES watch and I want to exchange it for a Samsung Watch Active 2, what do you think?

now it's ok, I just do the reset on factory. you have the same problem??

Good evening! An SOS question today I received the watch and the model writes (samsung active 2 SM-R820) there is some difference from the regular watch and if so what? .Thank you!
Does the watch 2 now come with the watch face that shows the weather in real time? Or is that specific to watch 3?
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!
Does the 44mm get in the way when working out? Is it practical?
It certainly is useful and looks and feels like a normal watch. You can go swimming with it, dunning, cycling and it will detect the type of activity. Simply amazing.
Seriously very impressive stuff!
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.
I guess u need to turn on location in watch settings to check nearest cinema. Just my guessing
I used to have a huawei watch gt 2 but that's just a glovired fitness tracker is this a real smart watch?
but will the screen crack easier than the galaxy watch since the rotating bezel is above the glass
There are several variants for this watch. Can you tell me the difference in the Model#? As the price varies based on the model.
Does this watch count calories burned while sleeping or resting? Is it just when we are active
Yes, what do you think is a better smart watch?I'm stuck don't know which one to get. I train for triathlons so I need lap swimming. Help :)
What about connection with NON Samsung phone? Does it get lost? Do all notifcations come in without any issues?
You can connect to non saumsung phones. I was using this watch with the Huawei P30 Pro and now I’m using it with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. No connection issues at all.
@@ChigzTech thanks, cause there are reviews where people say, that sometimes it loses connection to non Samsung phones....

Need a comparison of both the watches...coz m badly confused..which one to buy
Just got mine yesterday and it’s pretty dope so far. Got the bigger version, only Bluetooth and it’s holding up ight with my Galaxy S10+
Still my galaxy watch is king of the
Physical bezel
Charging cradle
👑
Screen on hand rise... 😍 Both are same.. Thanks chigz
Yes the galaxy watch is still a superb watch.
Best review I've watched! Thanks.
The watch vibrates when I scroll to the end of a list/menu it vibrates to indicate it as well as shows this visually.
When I use the touch bezel too for each scroll it vibrates.
Some apps also causes the watch to vibrate.
I would like to turn off all these vibrations as it becomes annoying and uncomfortable.
Can you assist?
