Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
With Wear OS still lacking, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 has serious potential to be the best smartwatch for Android users. The Watch Active 2 comes in both LTE and Bluetooth options and can be pre-ordered now. The Bluetooth model starts at £269/$279 for the 40mm model and £289/$299 for the 44mm.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 review
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is a minor upgrade on its predecessor, adding a digital rotating dial, bigger version, currently inactive ECG, and LTE option. But it's also considerably more costly, putting a hefty price on only a few extra features.- Digital haptic dial control is great
- Still decent 2-day battery life
- Attractive minimalist design
- Pricey upgrade
- Still very few third-party apps

When I unboxed the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 last week, I was rooting for it. On paper, the Active2 had...- Looks great. MyStyle is fun. Fixed heart rate monitoring issues. Good battery life. A dang-near perfect smartwatch.

This watch is awesome and I hope people who buy this watch enjoy it just as much as me.

- Limited iOS compatibility
- Thick bezel
Samsung's Latest Watch is Great, but We Prefer the Old One
The company's latest sports watch is a little bigger and a little more expensive than the last one.- Beautiful, especially if you want a stylish, analog-style watch. Improved battery life. Works with both Android and iOS watches. Digital bezel restores a beloved Samsung feature. Charges on the back of your Samsung phone. Cheery encouragement to get active.
- Unless you're super stoked on a digital bezel and bigger size, you might want to stick to the Galaxy Active. Battery life still isn't great. Limited functionality with iOS.
