Review on SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active 2 (40Mm by Tim Pulse

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great watch to keep track of your heart.

I have a 44mm BT version. This is my first smartwatch and I really like it so far. Very comfortable on my wrist. I tried the sleep function and it was comfortable for me to sleep. It's interesting to see how much actual REM I actually get. There were a few small out-of-the-box updates available to improve GPS accuracy and a newer version of Tizen. I tested the GPS with another phone and the 3 mile run was just as accurate as the phone. For some reason the weather app on the watch couldn't determine my location. After digging around on the internet I found that you need to turn on the GPS on the watch. It was off by default on my watch. Once you have GPS enabled, go to the Samsung Wearables app on your PHONE, go to the weather function app and select your city. Then update the Samsung Watch Tizen weather app and it will determine your location. I know the Watch Echo feature won't be available until early 2020, but it's nice to have an Android watch that will eventually have it. The battery lasts about 1.5 days with heavy use. At least 2 days. For everything this watch does, it is of excellent quality.

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • there are nuances
