@@techforthemasses7086 of course each upgrade typically brings more new features but still sometimes new gadgets are not always the best. Take battery life for example in this watch comparing to watch active 2 40mm or 42mm
I misspoke. I meant the original galaxy watch. I was speaking mainly to the design, as I really like the look of the smaller black one. I hate the larger variant. Battery life is why I switched back to pebble, a video on that should be coming soon.
I have the gear s3 gear sport and the active all of them really Similar Galaxy active is not much of an upgrade. Probably because of the missing rotating basil and extra stuff but yet it is still a good watch but I do still prefer the gear s3 and the sport mainly because of the screen size because battery is great on all devices
Is it the 2nd gen watch active or first gen? If it's the second gen then I would get that one since it will get software updates longer, and still has the software rotating bezel. The first gen active is essentially just a smaller gear Sport.
@@techforthemasses7086 1st gen, I actually want Active but it is too small and kinda has a bad battery life but Gear Sport is kinda old.. I am so confused lmao
@Mert Efe Asilkan. There is a larger version of the first gen I'm pretty sure. honestly though Samsung has been pretty good with updating their watches so there shouldn't be that big a difference between the first gen active and gear Sport. (Also a like or sub would be massively appreciated :)

Noice. Wouldn't recommend it as much anymore though since you can get the galaxy watch 1 does so cheap. Also the Google wear os colab with software releasing in the fall means most of these watches will be fairly obsolete.
@@techforthemasses7086 yeah mine broke down so I bought Huawei watch fit for cheap while waiting for what the colab gonna offer...if I can get galaxy watch or watch active for cheap..i will go for it
I saw a refurb galaxy watch on eBay for 80. Not too bad so that if in 5 months you want to replace it. I've had great luck with refurb stuff before so you might as well ig. I also saw the Skagen Falster connected 3 or 2 on amazon for like 75.
True. I will be making a video about the pebble time very shortly which is a watch with 5 day battery. It's been discontinued but it's what I use now. Being honest though, you would be hard pressed to find any full on smartwatch that lasts longer then 2 days.
Mine has lasted me a really long time, about 3 years so far. The battery is still great. Just don't take it to a water park or anything like that. Super high pressure water can force it's way under the heart rate sensor. I still get updates for it too. (Also a sub or like would be massively appreciated :)
If I remember correctly you can either use the Samsung health app, or tap on the workout button in the health app on the watch and there should be a history button or something that has an old workout that you hit. I don't remember exactly since I haven't had the watch for a while but I know there is one in the Samsung health app on your phone and the watch.
@@techforthemasses7086 yeah it was samsung health it was not installed on my samsung phone and I didn't knew cuz 2 months only I switched from iPhone 😅
Hoping someone can help: I bought my Gear Sport back in February on Ebay (only site that would ship to my location), and after almost 6months of use, the screen won't turn on anymore. I had a long day at work, and forgot to charge my watch before going to bed. So the next morning, I saw that my watch had died, and decided to leave it on the charger till I got back. Later that day, I come back, and ill I see is a green pixilated screen, and nothing else. Still responds to the rotating bezel and notifications, but I can't do anything else on it. I've tried every solution I could find on the internet, but the screen still won't turn back on. I love this watch, and don't want to have to get rid of it, so I'm hoping that someone can help. Attempts: - Leaving on the charging dock (both plugged and unplugged) -Holding the power button (on and off the charger) -Holding both power and back buttons (on and off the charger) Results: -Nothing, no change, screen still won't work
@@techforthemasses7086 No, the screen for the watch itself will turn green and pixilated when on the charger. When it's off the charger, the screen is just black.
That's really strange. I would pop off the back cover and check for water damage. It might just be some light corrosion around the display ribbon cable. Water can get in through the heart rate sensor plastic cover if the glue starts to come loose.
In that case I would get the gear Sport, since the first gen active doesn't offer enough features to warrant the higher price, and lack of a rotating bezel. Yes it's not a big difference in price but the gear Sport looks nicer and not having any sort of a bezel or digital crown is personally a deal breaker for me.

It depends if you have the always on display on or not. With it off you can get about maybe 3 days, with it on more like a day and a half. That's with some workouts thrown in there.

NIE WIEDER!!! Es ist meine zweite Uhr als Samsung Gear Sport. Bei der ersten ist die Linse zum Puls messen unter der Uhr abgefallen, der Klebstoff löst sich anscheinend auf und die Glaslinse fällt ab. Samsung zeigt sich kulant und schickte eine neue. Nach etwas mehr als einem Jahr schon wieder, ich bekam wieder eine neue. Nun meine dritte Uhr und die Glaslinse ist gestern wieder abgefallen. Ein Unding dass Samsung nicht daraus lernen kann. Ich war echt der Meinung ein hochwertiges Produkt zu kaufen. Schade ich bin enttäuscht.

hello
My question is: Can I get RUclips an messenger notifications on it?
Any notification that shows up on your phone will show up on the watch. So yes, both RUclips and messenger notifications would show up.
Which website is best for buying it? (can you send me link to the best reliable website for buying)
