Great review. I have the active one.. will definitely be worth the upgrade.
Shane Symonds amazing, I need one mow
Is it easy to share your results from workouts with Strava?
Finally, a review where the reviewer mentions whether always on display was enabled for battery tests. Pretty much every major reviewer was saying between 18-30 hours on a single charge. No doubt they were using AOD, which IMHO is a pointless feature. Who needs their watch to display the time when they aren't looking at it? Oh well, I went with the Versa 2 this time around so I guess I'll wait for the GWA3 next year unless Fitbit comes out with a GPS watch that isn't bafflingly ugly like the Ionic.
What is the watch face you're using
Yo this guys actually got more than 8hrs of sleep? Wild
Lol that was rare
you need to take sleeping enough more seriously .
Does it track a mid-day nap? Or only night sleep??
@@BillPappas
it does take , any time you fell sleep it will , i have Galaxy watch
@@alucardhellsing4366 Thank you very much...if as you say thw the galaxy watch to the same... I will get that cause it's more beautiful!!
Vibration strength is such an underrated feature and often ignored in reviews. Thanks for mentioning that the vibration is strong enough to wake you up. That is what I miss most about my Pebble watches.
I know this was a year ago but I had the pebble watches and I've had apple watch and the samsung watches still miss my pebble that thing was all I needed
I had my finger over the "Buy Now" button on an Apple Watch 5 when I stumbled across this video - today I take delivery on this watch instead. Some great info here, thank you.
Glad you managed to break free from Apple chip... you're free now bud 😁👍👍👍👍
you have been released from the Colt!!! Good job!!!
are you happy now... ?
How is it
Ashraful Islam : his name is not now, it is Jeff.
Imagine playing this video to someone 100 years ago
How about just 20 years ago. So much has changed in such a short time.
@@Menelik.videos 10 years ago even....
prodigieX yea who knows what watches will do in 2120 its crazy to imagine
@@ytdude_g2042 watches? you mean brain chip :D
Imagine playing any video in color to someone 100 years ago
by far the best overview i have seen of this watch (ive seen about 10) great work shane!
This has to be one of the most in depth and to the point reviews I have seen on the watch till now. Kudos to you and best of luck with your channel.
Yessssss that's right..i think either too 😁
Watch Flossy 😁
@@rinarooftops26 Love you!
My Samsung doesn't even register my sleep because I don't sleep long enough lol. I take 2 hour naps throughout the day.
i got this watch for my birthday this year and i've had it for a couple days and it is defiantly worth the price!! Such a great watch! :D
Thank you for this, this review was exactly what ive been looking for and answered all my questions great job!
One of the best reviews I've seen! Thanks for all of the in-depth details and walkthrough of the OS!
0:16 I thought he just gave me the finger 😂
Me too
Me 3
SAAME
Same.
Me too!!! Hahahaha
I'm considering buying this watch. Came across your review. I was quite impressed man. Great review and very helpful 👍
Best review ever for the Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch I now know I want it because of this video thank you for helping me out
The only review I could find that did a demo of the speaker 👍🏽 thank you!
that's sweet that his mom calls to tell him what time dinner is!
You answered the question I been looking for.
Just got my Galaxy Active 2 and am loving it. It will take me some time to get it set up since there are so many choices, but i'm loving every minute. I love the way you don't even feel it on your wrist and it tucks the end in so seamlessly. Thanks Samsung.
This is the kind of review I'm always looking for when getting a new device, definitely buying my galaxy watch next month 👌🏽
My thoughts exactly! I hate screwing around with countless videos on youtube and aim to make a single video that helps you decide on a new product
Very clear and concise review! I am personally getting inaccurate heart rate readings from my watch, but it isn't a dealbreaker considering all the other features this watch has to offer.
Great review 🙌🏼 Just picked one up today and setting it up as I type this.
Thank you for helping us seniors understand new technology Shane. Your product reviews are extremely helpful.
Coffee counter? Im sold
Just bought one and loving it. Thanks for your review
This has got to be the BEST & MOST THOROUGH review video I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you, best review I've seen on this watch so far, definitely going to get it. Thank you :)
Went onto my Sprint account to look up this watch to see if it was something I wanted to buy. And I decided to look up some reviews on RUclips. Yours was such a great review that I'm going to buy their watch and I'm hoping you're getting some sort of commission on this and I even subscribed to your channel, which I don't do much, because your voice was just great. There are some videos I listen to when they're giving reviews and I cannot take their voice as terrible as that might sound. So thank you for a great review, great voice and Sprint got a customer.
This was an absolutely amazing video.👌🏽
I ordered lte version for Verizon comes in tomorrow cant wait. You put it in perfect perspective and the only videp review to answer all the questions I had thank you.
I've been using Samsung Active 2 for a week, and surprisingly has a good battery life ( nearly three days) , and getting used to digital rotating bezel , and there's no glitches , and freeze as I've experiences with Galaxy watch...love it...this is the best combination of smartwatch, and fitness watch.
I agree with this, as my gear s3 has been having moments of glitches and awkward navigation. This active 2 is buttery smooth in comparison
Never have any glitching on my galaxy watch and i bought it when it got released. Try to clear your ram memory once in a while that might do the trick.
Does it monitor ECG
shold i upgrade to this from galaxy watch ?Or is fine galaxy watch.
Have you swum with it I’m curious about its water resistance as I free dive a lot
You got a sub for this beautiful review.
I really appreciate your in depth review on this watch as I was going back and forth. I have the Note 10+ and wanted something that was compatible with this. Great Job!
I have a Fitbit. Not a fan of smartwatches but I liked the way you reviewed this. Very clear and detailed information. Great job
Got this watch for Christmas. It's my 12th smartwatch and it's easily the best one I've ever used. Hard to believe this started with the rather lackluster Galaxy Gear
This channel is extremely underrated!! 😬
Amazing review! 👏
Instantly Subscribed! 🤙
Really helpful review. Thanks so much. Can't wait to get mine!
I've been using active 2 for a year now and I love it as much as the first day😻😻😻✨✨💜
Amazing video Shane. I’m currently an iPhone use who recently changed to Android. I have the Galaxy Note 10+ and ordered the Verizon version of this watch. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Ok I'm here and yeup this is my primary and yeup I'm here to learn like and everything else great videos keep em coming
great review answered all my questions
So detailed and well put, i love how he explains and show the watch on it all the time , love the video and channnel
It's a great watch I have it's so light,
Hey Shane, question? Would you recommend this watch over the new Garmin Vivoactive and Venu?
Great review video! I might be upgrading from my Gear S3 frontier that I've owned sense they first released. Subbed
Was waiting for your review, definitely getting it now! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome how you review Samsung's products. Can you make a video about apps for galaxy watch?
I definitely could!
Yes please do!
If your heart rate becomes too low ,or too high does the watch send a warning?
Thanks for the review!! I enjoy your reviews!!
Thank you Shane, great video. You told us
everything we needed to know. I don't need to see any other reviews and am confident in my purchase without doing any other research. As soon as i post this comment I will be purchasing one for myself. We appreciate your content my friend, it makes life a lot easier for many, and saves headaches for even more people. Your work is appreciated brother
How do I turn off the workout? I have many questions, and need more step by step instructions. I haven't found a good source. Thank you for the great coverage on the Active 2.
You deserve a million subs your content is very good and simplified
Thank you for watching!
Love it! Wish I could find a case to go around it. Already changed the band
Thank you for such a great review, in depth, no annoying voices, sounds or trying to be “cute” you got my sub.
This is my first smart watch and I feel I made a great purchase. It is well designed with a lot of great features. The number of watch faces seems endless. It works well with my Note 9 and I am looking forward to pairing it with the Note 10+ when I upgrade next month. All in all the Watch Active 2 is a excellent smart watch.
Great assessment and I am glad you're liking it!
It is my first smart watch as well, the only negative is the battery. Only get about a day and a half. I have the 40mm and always on display is off. Other than that, I love it.
@@bos02090 BTW I have the 44mm watch. Battery life seems to be tremendous. I'm on my 4th day, still at 47%. Not using AOD or sleeping with it on.
@@LA-db9xj I think the battery of the 44 is slightly better. I sleep with in but in night mode, but that may also be a part of it indeed. Oh well, not is not a real problem, let's just say it is a luxury problem of owning the watch 😁
This is exactly why I'm getting the 44mm! I did my homework, lol!
Once they can do a battery which lasts for 1 or 2 weeks I'm gonna get a smart watch. I'm very satisfied with the Mi Band 4 at the moment.
Huawei watch GT 2 can last up to 2 vweeks depending on how much it's used
because you're constantly using it 24/7? you can't charge your watch while you get ready for work? we've just entered the era of all day screen time on smartphones, we're far from week screen time watches
The good news about galaxy active is that you can charge it just putting it behind your Samsung phone (s10, note10, etc), with the power share feature. So you don't need to worry so much about that
@@amaurinorato well that's true for all the modern smart watches. I charge my gear S3 watch on my note 10 plus sometimes. But honestly I see no reason why anyone needs more than a day on a watch when you can simply charge it while you get ready for work.
@@denziiey I understand. It's a little bothering keep charging the watch everyday. I miss my amazfit bip which I charged once in a month. My actual amazfit verge I need to charge twice in a week. And sometimes I go out to exercise and forget to check the battery, then it ends during the exercise :(
u have one of the best detailed n relevant reviews n info. thank u
Excellent review! I just purchased mine and absolutely love it!
Well I'm watching this video exactly 1 year after it was filmed (you can see the date on the watch) and it was uploaded right on my birthday
I cant wait, I ordered it and I've been watching reviews and stuff to hype myself up more... I still have the rest of today and all tomorrow 😫 it feels like forever
Did you get it yet??? Was it worth it?? I'm still on the fence.
@@MsGoldenSmiles it says on the website its water proof you can take a shower with it I've been to scared to try it but I'm gonna today so I'll let you know how that goes as well I'm just waiting for my baby to go to sleep
@@tabitha6895 Thank you so much girlfriend!!!! I went ahead and bought it at Verizon in black yesterday and I'm still trying to learn all the features but I appreciate your feedback! I got the 44mm and I love it so far! Cant wait to buy new bands on Amazon to match outfits! Plus I did see its waterproof!! Great for if you have kids! ❤❤
So tabatha, how was your shower? Please use great detail in explaining please. Any pictures you have wearing it in there would be greatly appreciated aswell. 😁😊 thank you!
Same here.. waiting and watching reviews🥺
The best smart watch on the market today for sure... Thanks for the reveiw! Cheers..
Thanks for the great review!
Mans arms have a head of hair
I got this watch last week and I love it!
Your battery life? What size?
Size?
Is it any lag?
Starting to like your videos, cox u explained it so well. Thanks man
I was planning to buy the Huawei GT2 bec it was much cheaper but your review made me change my mind. Thanks for this great review!
What is the name of the watch face in the thumbnail?
You did very hard work to make this video! Great video Sir, I'm going to buy this watch when it's available in India.
FYI, it is now available at Samsung Stores and some watch stores as well! No demo pieces unfortunately though :(
Just bought mine today. Thanks for the education pal!
Getting mine in 2 days Amazon tells me ….. good review dude, made me happy I chose this watch.
prefer my gear S3 frontier, having a swivel bezel makes is to easy to navigate around without constantly touching the screen, and i really like the mechanical feeling of it. makes it feel a little more premium. but overall the active 2 is still a nice peace of tech.
I agree. I think the physical bezel is great protection for the screen too. I've banged my S3 Frontier around many times over the years and always just hit the bezel. It has a few scuffs, but nothing bad and the screen is perfect. Not a fan of dropping it for a digital version.
i completely agree, it's added protection for the glass. and makes the watch look better too.
Yeah I was sold at spotify, not having to carry around my samsung while I lift and run is a fantastic thing
Great video thank you for this! With Spotify app are you able to scroll through your saved playlists to select a song?
Great video! My Fitbit Alta died and I want a Samsung. You have helped with my decision to go with the Galaxy Active. Your video is comprehensive and honest. Thanks!
Amazing review !! The best on RUclips so far !! 👏👏👏
Thanks Marcelo!
I "lost" my watch over the weekend and i feel so shit about it :( it was a gear s3 but i just watched this and convinced myself to go tomorrow and pick up an active 2 ;D
Excellent review! I have the watch since 2 days and really happy with it so far :)
Glad you like it! I am (obviously) loving it so far no issues at all
Great review, so much better than others available 😊
Almost makes me wanna work out
Thanks for the great review it really helped me make up my mind I will definitely be upgrading from the Galaxy watch to the galaxy watch active 2.
You will enjoy the digital rotating bezel!
Great review! Only thing I'm missing is the standard time display posibilities...Old clock, digital etc
A really great and awesome to watch review from you Shane! I'm also really enjoying my 40mm bluetooth stainless steel active 2 ;-)
Now I’m sure, your reviews are too good
Spent 2 days on this one. Appreciate the love.
Now I know why the auto tracking hasn’t worked on my active 2. It takes 10 mins of walking. How did you know that? Btw, your arm is not too hairy lol
I been waiting to buy one and you've convinced me!
Great review. Nice pace and very informative.
I really appreciate your review brother, just one question on battery life. How good is it? And how many times a week do you charge it per week?
Literally in the first 2 minutes of the review he talks about the battery life. Watch it.
how to grow hair on finger tips?
Puberty
That's bold
Wtf
I like how this question has nothing to do with the topic lmao
I really loved this watch.lam going to buy this.thanks for giving information.
Today I won this watch for good performance at work...Thank you for this video!! You've got me super excited!
I'm interested in the watch for one reason, one app to do everything (exercise, food, daily steps, etc). Only down side is the battery life compared to my Garmin Forerunner 235 (lasts a solid week).
So I am interested in the Active 2 as well but I am worried to swap from my Forerunner. My Forerunner and phone are struggling to pair now for some reason though.
I had no pairing issues. I did make the switch and in the middle of my first full week. As of now its early Wednesday and Im at 58% battery. We will see if it lasts the week.
How long does the battery last when play music with the watch?
Thank you for the information. I decided to buy one myself since its on sale today!
The best review of this watch on RUclips. Thank you, for showing the text messaging feature. Messages are important to me and sleep tracking. Thank you, for a great review.
Thank you for watching!
@@ShaneSymonds are you an android user?
we need this watch with aod AND and least 5 days battery life
I recently made the switch from the Gear S3 to the Active 2 . What really caught me off guard was how light it was!
I think my only gripe is that I wish it came with a smaller strap because my wrists are ridiculously tiny and even being on the last notch on the band is still a little loose.
I love this video so complete. Going to go purchase thank you, I already have an idea of how to set up :-)
Excellent review as usual! Keep up the great work!
Great watch, but baterry life still kills my desire to buy...i dont want another device to charge daily...watch should last at least 4-5days
Battery life is also what's keeping me from purchasing it! I had a Fitbit versa that lasted about 4 days so I dont want something that I need to charge daily.
I want one but there is no google pay support.
Samsung pay is better
@@itzpayday1238 not if it isn't supported by my bank. Guess it isn't better.
@@Ttnorth11 oh, well sorry about that
The best review so far keep it up your good work bud
Finally! I've been using my Gear S2 since the beginning of 2016, but now the battery doesn't even last 7 hours. I'm just waiting for the LTE version to be available ⌚⏳ great review 👍🏻
