My Review of the Samsung Active 2

The Samsung Active 2 4G is a nice addition to the healthy collection of watches from this company. It offers a large screen with nearly no backlight and has a thin, yet durable band. This watch is very easy to use and comes with the usual health monitoring features most are used to. The only minor drawback may be the fact that there are only two modes – fitness or speed – and that the watch does not store any information about multi-tasking.

The Samsung Active 2 features a thick, high-contrast glass that really stands out in a crowd. The watch also features a touch bezel which makes navigation extremely convenient. The Samsung Active 2 watches face is always-on display, which means you do not have to take my wrist off just to see the time. You can read your time even if you are running.

The touch-screen design on the Samsung Active 2 is really neat. There is no doubt that the watch will get dirty and it is something you might want to avoid. However, I must say that the design of the real-time activity tracker on the Samsung Galaxy Watch active 2 is one of the best I have seen. The navigation of the watch is very smooth and intuitive and navigating through the menus is a pleasure.

The heart rate monitor included in the watch is another positive factor when it comes to this fitness watch. This watch measures your pulse rate while you are exercising, which is a great advantage over other competitors that do not include this feature. In addition, the smartwatch that comes with the watch is one of the best I have seen.

One of the things that make smartwatches so popular these days is the unique touch bezel that surrounds the dial. With this design there is easy access to all of the features of the smartwatch. The stainless steel material also looks very nice and provides a premium look. You will find that most of the big name manufacturers such as LG, Motorola, Apple, etc.

The heart rate monitor included in the Samsung Galaxy Watch active 2 along with the touch bezel make this watch a nice value. This watch is also an excellent runner. My wife runs and is always using the GPS on her watch, so I decided to get her one. She loves it for its accuracy, but we do run often and she does not need to track anything down because the GPS is always-on display. The pedometer and the GPS are both present in the same place on the dashboard of the watch.

The pedometer is located on the upper right-hand corner of the watch. There is a little card reader and you can insert your credit or debit card to use it. It will vibrate when you have reached a certain distance. I really like the pedometer on all of my smartwatches, but I really like it on the SGH Active.

A few months ago I purchased the SGH Active 2. While the initial battery life was short, I found that the watch gave me enough time to workout before the battery ran out. I can now complete my normal morning routines without the watch. I love the way it looks, feels, and functions. I think it is an excellent choice for anyone that is looking for a nice stylish GPS with a solid health and fitness monitor.

The thing I do not like about this watch is the price. For $250 it is hard to believe that it could be that bad of a piece of technology, especially since it has everything I need in a smartwatch. It has a large display screen, touch bezel, heart rate monitor, pedometer, and many other features. The one thing that I do not like about the Active is the fact that it does not support Bluetooth. I will have to look into how Samsung plans on supporting Bluetooth in the future to make it more useful, but for now I am disappointed that it does not support it.

Another thing I do not like about the SGH Active 2 watch is the fact that it does not support the Android operating system. The watch comes preinstalled with the Windows operating system, but it does not come with the Android Kit Kat software to run it. This means that if you do purchase a Samsung Active 2 smartwatch, you will need to go out and buy an application to use on the watch to allow it to connect to your home network and receive the Android signal. I have not seen any evidence that this application exists, so Samsung should start working on it right away.

With that being said, the Samsung Active 2 is a nice piece of technology that is loaded with features. The bezel surrounding the watch looks good, and the screen looks nice and bright. If you are looking for a solid fitness watch with a lot of features, the Samsung Active is a good choice. The only thing that could limit its usefulness to women is the fact that it does not support Bluetooth. However, for most people the benefits of a well-built, well designed smartwatch outweigh this small disadvantage.
