Well done, but I wont buy any more.

Because of their bulkiness and depth, I put off purchasing a smartwatch for a considerable amount of time. My wrist is quite narrow, so when Active2 was introduced, I calculated that a watch with the dimensions (HxWxD) of 40.0 x 40.0 x 10.9 mm would be an excellent fit for me. I made the purchase of a steel Active2 40mm yesterday. I owe the sellers a special thank you for recommending that I make payment for this item using a Tinkov card that offers 8% cashback. And the store's discount card was quickly brought out, and $1,500 from the very first transaction was put on it straight away.
The 40mm Active2 display, which is housed in a steel casing and with black dials, gives the appearance of being far larger than 1.2 inches (with a black dial, the display looks almost frameless). However, when light and white dials are present, it is made abundantly clear that the display is not in any way frameless. Instead, there is a black circular frame (edging) that measures 3.5 millimeters in thickness and surrounds the display. A silver case made of steel that has a thick black bezel around the display is not a very good design. Yet, the AMOLED display device itself is unworthy of praise.

Pros

Up to this point, I enjoy everything about the watch. The display and the dials are really impressive. The diameter of the case, which measures 40 millimeters, is the smallest available on the market for a circular smartwatch manufactured by a respectable manufacturer. More than 500 free watch faces may be downloaded from the Galaxy Store. There are a lot of adorable and diverse options available among them. Even more paid dials.

Cons

2 remarks. First. Even before we made the purchase, it seemed as though the watch was thicker than the 10.9 millimeters that was advertised for it. Even considering purchasing a Huawei GT2 42mm, which has a claimed thickness (height) of slightly less than 10 millimeters, was a consideration of mine. However as of right now, nobody is offering the Huawei GT2 42mm. Just the 46mm variant, which is noticeably more robust, has been made available for purchase up to this point. So. I used a caliper to take the measurements of my Active2 today. Case diameter is 40mm. Yet, the thickness was 13.5 millimeters when measured in the middle of the casing where it was located. It's never a good idea to lie to other people! Second point to make. Within the applications, I could not locate the icon for the email client. In addition, such an application does not appear to be available in the shop. despite the fact that the handbook states it ought to. Perhaps one can only access their email by pairing their device with a Samsung phone. I have no idea. My smartphone is a Huawei P20 Lite.
