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.
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
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 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.
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?
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!👍👍👍
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 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!
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 :/
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?
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!
Am o intrebare unde trebuie intrat in setari pentru a a activa aprinde ecranu prin rotirea maini la ore predefinite deoarece am gasit setarea de rotirea maini afisare ecran dar nu gasesc programarea intre ore Iar functia DND nu oprește ecranu doar notificările.vă mulțumesc
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.
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
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??
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 🙋🏿♂️💪🏿
Can this be linked to a hearing device? like controlling the calls and music via watch and listen on the earphones? I just didnt get across a video that shows that
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!
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
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!
😁😁😁👍👍👍..oh Samsung..you do what you do so so well.. comparison with apple watch...better year Samsung phone and watch against Apple phone and watch... should be interesting..nice one chigz
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
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.
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?
Can you please answer if there is a way to turn off the handshake lock, for instance when you play a video on the watch if you move your hand a bit it turns off and the clock appear
The best review ive watched! ive been searching and searching for a video that would help me find a smartwatch compatible on my samsung s9+, that can make and answer calls by just using the smartwatch, and ive found your video for 2 weeks that ive been searching. Most videos ive watched are just reviews of the specs but no demos on what the watch can do on calls. I almost decided to switch into iphone once the contract plan is done just to be able to get an apple watch, but personally, i prefer samsung. Thank you! Keep it up and congrats! Very informative video!

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

Glad to hear, thanks.
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
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.
Your video IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS NEEDED THANK YOU!!!
U look so cute
Finally somebody who reviews it on an iPhone. Great reviews:-)
Best review on the watch. Has covered everything. I've ordered mine 👍
I have it too but the LTE version and it comes with a leather strap it’s now my main watch.
Katrina's voice is lovely.
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.
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

Mate you have sold this to me. I'm buying one... 👍
Glad to hear, it’s a great watch.
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

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

Your review is what I was looking for thank you!!!!
Wow. Man thanks for that full on Indepth review. Helped me make a purchase decision
I guess u need to turn on location in watch settings to check nearest cinema. Just my guessing
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?
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?

Thanks for this tutorial information 👍it will help setup my ⌚can't wait
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
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.
Excellent work 👍
I just ordered one of these watches today. I also use a Samsung Galaxy S10e with 256 GB + 256 GB SD micro card, which I like very much. Thank you1
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.
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!
Do we have in watch ECG,BP and oxygen monitoring ?
Display is looking attractive 😊 Build Quality is also cool Thanks sir
How about the phone battery when continuously connected via Bluetooth ? Phone battery might drain very fast. 🥺🙄
Honestly not bad at all.
Nope because smart watches and bands use low consumption bluetooth mode automatically.
If your phone has bt 5.0 it will drain even less. Depending on your phone obviously, maybe 10% extra a day beacause of the bluetooth maybe
Just got mine should I get a screen protector
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
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
Smashing review as always but the Active is quicker on the 'hands raised' test each time!
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!
Can i download the Digital Neon Watchface on my Gear s3? 🤔 I cant find it on the Galaxy Store pls help and its not on my watch?
How about GPS directions? Got an app for that??
Does active 2 watch have any problem connecting with iphone?
What function wont be able to work properly?
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 🙋🏿♂️💪🏿
Can this be linked to a hearing device? like controlling the calls and music via watch and listen on the earphones? I just didnt get across a video that shows that
Yes you can do that. There's an option for connecting a Bluetooth device
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.
This is an amazing review, it shows all the features and you are not lying to your viewers. Amazing video!
This review really helped me. Thank you so much
Does charging via a fast charger damages the battery or the watch supports fast charging? Thnxs
I used to have a huawei watch gt 2 but that's just a glovired fitness tracker is this a real smart watch?
Can you text from the watch like the i-watch?
Great video! Very informative! I'll be ordering me one soon. Thanks so much!
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!
The best SmartWatch review I’ve seen to date. Superb. Subscribed. Thanks
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
Does the active 2 R820 receive and answers calls as well?
Does the watch 2 now come with the watch face that shows the weather in real time? Or is that specific to watch 3?
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!

I love my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (44mm) Just got it yesterday
That was one heck of a review!! Thanks!!
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.
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....
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.

Can you remotely control your Samsung phones camera/ video recording from the watch?
Yes I believe there is an app for that from the watch’s App Store
May I know if maps app can be use for navigation?
Yes you can.
@@ChigzTech thanks. I hope you can make a video demonstrating a navigation in future. 😉🙏
Timing in always on display available?
Any word on the blood pressure monitoring for this watch active 2
is this wifi connects with mobile hotspot and home wifi router?
bro can we use this yellow one watchface in gear s3. and plzzz tell this watchface name . plzzzz reply
Awesome review!
7 inch wrist size would u recommend 40mm active 2?
Please do an in depth comparison between active 2 and galaxy watch 46mm.
Thanks in advance.
Can you please answer if there is a way to turn off the handshake lock, for instance when you play a video on the watch if you move your hand a bit it turns off and the clock appear
Yes, you can, just turn off the "wake up gesture" in the settings :)
Thanks for the great review... best review smartwatch i've seen. lots of details. I follow this channel !
Great Review buddy 👍
Woww.. So so detailed review. Great job 👏 👍
Do we need a screen protector for active 2?
There are several variants for this watch. Can you tell me the difference in the Model#? As the price varies based on the model.
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?
Thanks for the comprehensive review! 😊👍😊👍😊👍😊👍😊👍😊
Saw ur review
Bought active 2 .... amazing tech 💓
Yes I agree, active 2 is amazing.
@@steve9348 depends on d phone ur using.
Android go with this. Apple go with d apple watch.
What's the orange dot on the left of your watch screen ? Is there regardless of the watch face
Its notification indicator once notification is clear it goes away

Very informative video!
Is the 'find your phone' functionality still useful if your phone is on silent?
Nice review... Did you ever consider the LTE
can you maybe tell me, about hourly chime?? I found the option, and I turn on. but, there is no sound on every hour??
You have the answer now?
@@NFS-shade not really :)
now it's ok, I just do the reset on factory. you have the same problem??
I take it from the raise to wake test you can't select wrist like on the Apple watch?
What is the width on the watch band?...Is it 20mm or 22mm??
