The newest Samsung Galaxy sport watch is known as Galaxy Watch Active. Will the new features and enhancements make this an active mover in the marketplace? Early indications suggest it will.
The first change you'll notice is the removal of the rotating bezel used in its predecessors. Instead, the Active is operated by touchscreen and two low-profile buttons on the edge of the watch.
The Active is slimmer and more streamlined than its predecessors, making it a superbly comfortable watch to wear. The stretchy strap adds to the comfort, and it also allows the Active to be laid flat on a surface, meaning you can use the watch’s wireless charging facility to top up the battery on any charging pad.
The Galaxy Watch Active is a fitness-orientated smartwatch, so you can expect it to monitor every core activity you're into. Steps, calories, heart rate and sleep are all tracked, while the built in GPS means you can monitor runs and bike rides without needing a smartphone. Its excellent water-resistant qualities make it perfect for swimmers too.
Like a great smartwatch should, the Watch Active has music playback controls via Spotify, smartphone notifications, and NFC for contactless payment. Samsung is also excited to announce a choice of 60,000 different watch faces! The new dual-core 1.1GHz processor will keep everything humming along nicely, and should extend the battery life.
Manufacturer: Samsung
While the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active doesn't have any breakthrough features that set it apart from the Apple Watch or the Fitbit Versa, it costs significantly less than the Apple Watch and is arguably more attractive than the Versa.
Lightweight, stylish design; Lots of functionality for the price
Thick, stationary bezel; Shorter battery life than Galaxy Watch
In the deluge of all the new Samsung products announced during Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2019 , you may have missed the Galaxy Watch Active , the company's latest smartwatch. This would be a shame because it's actually a very versatile wearable.
Design and size will suit most wrists; Two straps included; Software is smooth and slick; Comprehensive fitness and health tracking; Heart rate sensor
No rotating bezel; Strong competition
The Galaxy Watch Active could be, besides the Galaxy S10e, the secret star of the Samsung Unpacked event ahead of the MWC 2019, because the sleek watch has a lot to offer. We took a closer look at the new wearable device for athletes.
Rumoured and leaked almost as much as the S10 phones it launched alongside, the Watch Active is the second of Samsung's smartwatches to sport the "Galaxy" name. While the underlying experience it offers bears some resemblance to the vanilla , the Active marks a turning point for Samsung's wearables...
The new wearable sits just below the existing Galaxy Watch in the company's lineup and it tries to take much of what made that device the best smartwatch in the world – according to TechRadar – and give it a bit of an extra sporty edge.
Premium feel design; Tizen software has matured
No rotating bezel; Only one size
The Galaxy Watch Active comes with a 1.1-inch AMOLED display. Under the hood is an Exynos 9110 SoC, 768MB RAM and 4GB storage. The smartwatch offers a battery life of up to two days.
Samsung's latest smartwatch drops the rotating bezel, but it gets most basics right
Comfortable; lightweight design; Reliable battery life; Good fitness-tracking features
Bixby is a poor voice assistant; Clumsy to use with non-Samsung phones; Fewer third-party apps than other smartwatches
Samsung's streamlined fitness watch
Gorgeous design; Lightweight; Good price

I had the Galaxy Watch 46mm, but that was way too big. I wish Active is slightly bigger so it can have a bigger battery capacity. The battery goes down to 50-60% after 1 full day of light use. So I have to charge it every night to make sure it doesnt drain completely.
I have bought this a week ago although only just collected it. But it's easy and it's already to connected to my phone. The features are soo good on it as well. I recommend this! Its comfy to wear and light as well.
