i was about to buy the galaxy watch but after buying active watch 2 i think i made a right decision .. touch bezel on active 2 is just amazing and the 8 photosensors can beat the watch in the game

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is a solid smartwatch, but unless you want LTE connectivity, there's very little reason to buy it instead of saving some money on the original model.

Digital rotating bezel makes navigation easier; Available in two sizes; LTE connectivity

Inconsistent battery life and fitness accuracy in testing; Limited iOS compatibility; Thick bezel

The Active2 is one of the best you can get for those without iOS phones

Stylish; great display; comprehensive fitness tracking

Unimpressive battery life; app compatibility could be better; Unimpressive battery life; app compatibility could be better

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 for about a week now, and it has accomplished something remarkable: it's made me decide to stop saying there are no good smartwatch options for Android users.

Touch-sensitive bezel; Offline Spotify; Decent battery life

Requires too many Samsung phone apps to work; Bixby; No good mapping solutions

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2's ECG and LTE bring it closer to the Apple Watch

Comprehensive and expansive exercise tracking; Stainless-steel version looks watch-like; Easy-to-read display in all lighting; Two-day battery with light usage; You can scroll Twitter on a watch

Still limited third-party app support; ECG monitoring still not live; Incremental performance over old model

This watch is the best looking smartwatch around. The Design is top notch and Tizen OS is great on a watch. Best: -Notifications on your wrist. Notifications are always available, you can leave your phone on silent and sill get important notifications. -Design.

If you’re looking for a round smartwatch that does fitness and core smartwatch features well in equal measures, the second-gen Active is one smartwatch worth checking out.

Familiar sporty look with two size options; Comfortable to wear day and night; Touch bezel works well; Easy-to-use software; Decent fitness-tracking features

Software a bit clunky for sports tracking; ECG and Fall Detection not available yet; Battery life only slightly improved; Underwhelming app support remains; LTE model bumps up the price

The trouble with releasing a follow-up device so soon after the first is there may not be too much to shout about

Looks great; Digital bezel works well; Fantastic screen

Battery life could be better; Samsung Health isn’t great; Some menu items are hard to find

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 LTE’s big USP is the 4G connectivity and the new touch-based bezel. At Rs 35,990 the watch is not exactly cheap, but if you want constant connectivity on your watch, then it is certainly more affordable than Apple ’s LTE Watches in the market.

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is still Samsung's most enjoyable smartwatch to live with. It strikes a good balance between design and the features on offer. While the price has crept up, it does still offer good value for money and the promise of ECG support will bolster the feature ranks – hopefully...

Still a lovely smartwatch to wear; Navigating bezel is back; Feature-packed for the price
