This is a quality alternative to Apple Watch
I have recently changed job so had to returned my iphone to my old company. My new company gave me a Samsung phone which wouldn't work with my Apple Watch 2. After some research, I have decided to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch, I like the design and the look of the watch. Functions wise it's on par with Apple's Watch. The watch is comfortable to wear and have a lot of fitness capabilities which I like.
Purchased in May 2021 at Officeworks Online store for A$379.00.

Good watch, average battery
I wanted a new watch that was high tech and had lots of workout functionalities. I originally looked at the apple watch but didn't like the shape of the face.
The screen is beautiful OLED, but this in turn makes the battery last only a day on cellular or 2 days on Bluetooth. The functionality itself is really nice on watch and the screen is resilient and only have a couple of minor scratches when I wear it everyday and I'm a clutz.
I do however wish that Samsung invested more in compatibility with applications and devices outside the Samsun...Read more
g realm as i find I can't make my watch speak to health apps or smart scales often. Compared to the Apple watch its pretty dismal in this space. The workouts give you accurate data and I love being able to see my progress. This is where 2/5 stars I'm giving are coming from. Then 1/5 for ease of use and it's lost 2 stars because the battery life is terrible and the cross compatibility is bad. I think if I were to purchase again I would either buy Apple, Garmin or the original Samsung Watch.Purchased in November 2021 at Samsung for A$750.00.

Decent product, but LTE doesn't work
Watch connectivity with Nokia 8 is an issue, it keeps disconnecting. In addition, I cannot setup the LTE mobile network connectivity through the app. Smart watch features are useful as expected when watch is connected.

An expensive error
I chose the black, because the only other option was pink. Within 10 days of just regular wearing the paint had chipped off the outside of the watch. Samsung advised that it was made of aluminium. That was the explanation. In other words, what did I expect. I downloaded the heart rate hourly info and it showed min. beat at 39bpm a few times per day including when I'm not asleep. When I walk or cycle an annoying voice keeps telling me statistics every km (bike). Tried everything to turn it off & again took it back to Samsung. They also turned off various things including Bixby & the voice still reports.
I'm so disappointed, annoyed & completely regretting this purchase.

Good Design, Bad Battery, Worse Online Experience
The watch design is great and just cut above the rest. I don't need to download a lot of apps since I only need Spotify, Samsung Pay, Sports tracking, and some utility apps. The watch has great features overall but the main downfall is the battery life. I would not recommend buying the Galaxy Watch Active2 40mm Cellular, go for the 44mm version. My wife cancelled her pre-order to get the 44mm because she saw that I am so disappointed. I pre-ordered this through Samsung Online Shop and got it last 11/10/2019. The battery life of this device is j...Read more
ust bad. It won't last you half a day even though it is stated to last 43+ hours of typical usage as per Samsung website. I don't workout more than an hour but I am a type of person who is always on the go and always wireless (Data/Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC). I was expecting this to last for a full day but instead it only lasted me 4-5 hours each day and I always find myself looking for a charger or my S10+ to reverse charge it. I contacted Samsung support and now have an appointment to have this device checked. I am hoping that it is only faulty. In terms of Samsung Online Shop experience for this device, I asked why the return policy will only apply for "UNOPENED" boxes when I don't even have an actual DEVICE as a point of reference when buying it online especially when it is a "PRE-ORDER" and ALL of the shops around AUSTRALIA don't even have it yet. My wife and I are a Samsung fans and most of our appliances are Samsung devices but with this I am just really disappointed. In conclusion, Watch design is great but with really bad battery life which is hindering it and causing a lot of disappointment. While the Samsung Online shop experience is the worst in terms of after-sales and return policies. Don't buy directly from them online, go to your retail shops instead for a better return/refund policy. I am rating this with 1 star.Purchased in October 2021 at Samsung Online store for A$749.00.
