Finally someone reviews the 40mm. I chose the smaller one, It was tempting to get the bigger one due to the cost almost the same but I also have smaller wrists and I am happy with the size.
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!
Great review! Just one question: would you recommend to buy the active 2 now for $220 or wait until like September for the active 3 which will cost $300+? Thanks!
Based on some of the leaks the active 3 will feature almost identical specs besides some new features/software, IMO I think the Active 2 will be a better buy
I have not worn a watch for 20 plus years. I'm a Sales Rep road warrior. I've often received texts or calls with my phone in the office. I guess having this would be nice. I also have a Samsung Galaxy 8+ phone. I don't think you can beat Samsung. I dunno about the call quality however. Do you feel the speaker is loud enough? Good luck to your channel.
It's a nice piece of tech to have especially when you cannot pick up your phone for every notification. The speaker is decent and does the job, thanks!
1.5 gb is a killer for me. I need a watch with enough storage for plenty of mp3 for my runs and workouts. I will wait until next year and see if the market has something better to offer.
@@chilldadreviews I ended up going to the vivoactive 4, much better storage and fitness functionality. I found out about it after watching your review thankfully
Cool review ! Just as a tip you need to wear the watch with one finger spacing to your wrist for accurate heart rate measuring readings. Its stated in the how to use documentation for the watch. Keep doing videos man! ;-)
There's not a dedicated app you can install onto the watch but if you turn on the notifications for whatsapp within the wearable app on your phone you can respond to messages through the watch.
You should actually watch some videos on the usefulness of Bixby. It is actually incredible. Not intended to replace google but controls your phone/settings/calendar/ notes... anything having to do with the actual phone.
If you have the 40mm, the battery is smaller thus not lasting as long as the 44mm. I've seen people reporting 2-3 days on the 44mm which is pretty good.
Why are people complaining about the miles being off when you go running.. I could care less about that bs.. as long as I have a good work out who really cares..

Honoured that my music is in your videos
Keep it up with those reviews!!!
You are wearing the watch in completely the wrong place for heart rate monitoring. It needs to be further down the wrist away from the wrist bone.
Yeah my heart rate monitoring has been just fine gotta wear it lower on the wrist
Thanks for the tip! I will try that
@@chilldadreviews The proper position for best heart rate sensing is 2 fingers width from the wrist.
I need to push the watch all the way down to my wrist to get the hrm to work. Sleep tracking sucks.
You mean closer to the hand? Or further up? I don't see how you can wear it any lower then where he had it

Great video considering buy, does the NFC work on the watch? Where did you get the mini knife in the intro of the video?
Yes it does! I tested Samsung Pay on it. Search on google "Craftsman 2 pc. Lockback Utility Knife Set"
Thanks for the info.
Who h color is looking good this one or aqua black?
As I know it takes 10 minutes to track automatic workout. It takes 10 minutes in my old fit 2 pro
Thanks! Depends on your style but I like grey/silver plus you can always swap out bands.
Just curious, are you able you able to read your messages Easier on the 40 mm version? Since it is slightly smaller than 44mm...
I have no issues reading my messages on 40mm but I think it depends on your eye sight.
Why don't they have a plug?
You may add more app from galaxy store.

You've just earned a sub! Great content!
Did u get a present with the watch since u preordered it? If yes. What did you get? I've got free Samsung portable charger.
Yes same here the wireless portable charger!
Are you still using your watch or you upgrade for a 44mm and how long does it last the battery for the 40
Nope I still have the 40mm I can go almost two days on a single charge as long as turn off always on display
Should I get the 44mm or the 40mm for my sister?
If she has small wrists I would go with 40mm!

I hear you! Don't understand why so much is reserved for the system but you can always use Spotify/Google music

I like the color 😍
20k budget in Samsung which mobile is best to buy battery and camera are imprtnt

@@halffocused5151 wats that watch face called????
@@itzsabbage3830 I believe its called blooming flower but i might be wrong
Edit: blooming not bloomung
@@halffocused5151 i cant find it
The flower petal is called "Live Wallpaper" and it should be available on all the watches
Awesome review man 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
How about WhatsApp? Is it possible to reply the msg from the app? From a Group to?
Yes you can just tested it! You just need to enable the notifications for whatsapp from the samsung wearable app on your phone
Cool review ! Just as a tip you need to wear the watch with one finger spacing to your wrist for accurate heart rate measuring readings. Its stated in the how to use documentation for the watch.
Keep doing videos man! ;-)
Will do thanks!
Hi is this watch compatible with Samsung galaxy note 9 ???
Yes absolutely all Android phones and that's my phone now!
Thanks man i was hoping they had this one in 44mm
I tried to put my fenix 5 at that high position... And in deed it gave me very high Heart rate values
Apparently you must move it below the wrist bone
Hello there! Great video!!!!! Whatsapp app is allowed to be installed on the watch?? Regards, John
There's not a dedicated app you can install onto the watch but if you turn on the notifications for whatsapp within the wearable app on your phone you can respond to messages through the watch.
Does the gray band change color over time?
I've had it for a few months now and it still looks the same
@@chilldadreviews ok, thanks!
Great review, thank you!
What size is your watch? 40mm or 44mm?
40mm
The speaker tell me constantly everything I move. If I go to settings it tell me you are in settings...
probably have it in like blind mode
I'm having a pixel 2 xl can I still respond to notifications from the watch and write and send messages?
Yes it should!
I'm getting one for my Stylo 5
how far can reach its blutooth from cp to smart watch?
you mean how far can it go from your phone?
Man how can I turn off the voice assistant?
You mean bixby? I'm not sure if you can it's baked into samsung eco now
You should actually watch some videos on the usefulness of Bixby. It is actually incredible. Not intended to replace google but controls your phone/settings/calendar/ notes... anything having to do with the actual phone.
I installed apps on the watch via the android plugin app
What pluging app? Can you download almost any app on the watch?
That was a lucky spin of the box, how many takes did that take ? 😂
Lmao! It was definitely a handful of takes =)
Dad's Dojo I knew lol keep making review! Maybe some game review if you get the time
Quality of video was great
Cutie!!!
Agreed ☺
probably because you got that BIG ASS VEIN in the way hahahha lol super healthy :)
What size is that one??
40mm
Is the cloud silver color too feminine for a man?
Edit* should I get the black one istead?
Not at all! You can also change the band out if you want for a black one and get a nice contrast with the black & silver.
@@chilldadreviews Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do. Thx, and btw nice vid, keep on the good work.
What's ur wrist size?
Not sure haven't measured but I have small wrists.
Always on doesn't work, battery last hardly one day with battery saving settings. Over 2GB Software useach on 4GB!
If you have the 40mm, the battery is smaller thus not lasting as long as the 44mm. I've seen people reporting 2-3 days on the 44mm which is pretty good.
Nice video... Just wanted to support with a comment
Thanks!
It is the 44mm not the 40m
What do you mean?
@@chilldadreviews I think he means what you are wearing. It looks big. Mine is the 44mm and it looks tiny medium wrist
@@a.draghici8956 Ahh okay I guess it looks bigger on camera but this is definitely 40MM version
Watch should not be over wrist bone, that is why are getting eradicate HR reading. It obvious you need to read a little more before you do a video
good game
Whats meant by unboxing plz ?
The term "unboxing" is when you watch the person unbox (open) the product step by step.
Helpful..
I love my Omega, Rolex,and Galaxy ACTIVE Watches. Will not trade them for another brand. 🔯👍🎭🎥🎬🌎🌍🌏✈✈✈✈✈ NoMusic.
How do you find switching to a smart watch? I have a feeling my classic watches will gather dust while I wear a smart watch...
Why are people complaining about the miles being off when you go running.. I could care less about that bs.. as long as I have a good work out who really cares..
I here your point but there are some hardcore runners who track their performance and it really helps with training, information is power!
Not a review just an unboxing
You dumb
thats not a vein lol that a artery hahaha thats why its giving you inaccurate readings hahaha
Horrible just returned mine couldn't even do Google apps I'm not paying 300$ for a toy
sorry to hear that!
Do your research before buying. Nowhere in Samsung's website does it advertise Google apps support
@@juanmanuelcorrea7673 Read about half way down www.cnet.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-watch-active-2-review/
@@chilldadreviews Your point being?
@@juanmanuelcorrea7673 cnets review mentions the watch now can integrate with more third party apps...one being youtube.
