Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Bluetooth Aluminium 40mm – Aqua : Perfect Upgrade from Huawei Watch

Previously had the huawei watches until they failed and decided on the gwa2 after no new decent wear os watches. Overall very happy with the product even though less apps to install, but plenty of free watch faces can be had. The best part though is that there is no need to disable bt for the watch to use its built-in gps unlike the huawei watches. The exercise, steps, sleep and heart tracking is perfect and can be synced to google fit (huawei watches can not sync to google fit). Overall highly recommend unless a better wearos watch is released.

Has been great for months, within the last week the battery life has tanked for no clear reason :/ when i first got it (sept/oct?), it could last 2/2 n a half days before needing a full charge. Now it barely lasts through daytime and will need multiple charge. Otherwise, been absolutely brilliant product and i’ve loved it.

Be careful when buying this watch from amazon, my seller (only branded) was selling for £243 which is the same price as another seller who had bad reviews about not providing a uk version even though in item description it says its uk. The version i received was romanian, which means i couldn’t use samsung pay. Good thing is that this is fixable, you can google search “how to change galaxy watch region” and theres plenty of guides although some are outdated and can be pretty confusing if you are not good with computers and modding. Get a refund if you dont have uk version, its not worth the hassle to switch regionthe watch itself is very good but the sellers are not.

Bought as a present for my partner who had done his research and chose this modelhe is very pleased with it, different functions easy to use.

This is my first smart watch. Works very well with my galaxy s10+. I bought a black tpu cover case for protection because is very easy to scratch the aluminium sides of the watch.

Great piece of tech with stylish looks. Health apps are good with pretty accurate results. Looking forward to the ecg activation which is supposed to be soon.

A brilliant watch, easy to read and does everything a smart watch is supposed to do, my only issue is that the battery is supposed to last 2 and a half days with the settings and apps installed out of the box, mine last a day if i am lucky.

It’s ok, but the smartwatch ecosystem currently feels a bit like wap before the smartphone really came into being i. Lots of nice watch faces but many of the 3rd party apps are pretty crappy. Either they don’t work at all, or are functionally pointless and you might as well reach for your phone. The built in functionality is fairly good (although the sleep tracker is underwhelming – my 3 yr old dragged me out of bed at 5. 45 this morning but the watch claimed i slept till 6. Heart rate sensor seems to be accurate, at least when measured against certain gym machines with heart rate functionality too. All in all, this watch is a nice to have rather than a must have.

  • The best Samsung smart watch ever.

  • Great Watch – Fragile Screen

  • Decent, but underwhelming 3rd party apps

Great product just was not compatible with my network which is ee and all uk watches should be compatible. Samsung said that it is a uk model but it has already been assigned to a network. Disappointed because everything else worked excellent and a great smartwatch.

Battery life on this watch is great, lasts twice as long as specified, i usually get 4+ days (it helps if you turn on “goodnight mode” before heading to sleep). Step counter and tracking is pretty accurate especially in comparison to other smartwatches. The only thing that i was disappointed about with this watch, is that it didn’t come with a screen protector. At first, having a screen protector for the watch didn’t seem necessary to me until i bumped my wrist on a door slightly and it left a scratch on the screen (small but noticeable). I was shocked that the watch was scratched so easily by such a minor bump, and unfortunately, the only way to repair this is to send the watch off for repairs at the local repair centre, which doesn’t sound cheap at all. In conclusion, the watch is great overall but if you’re buying one i strongly suggest you purchase a screen protector too.

Really enjoying my active2 so far. However be warned that, when i first received it, its default language was in french. After being burnt with samsung pay in french, my heart sank. However, halfway through setup it corrected itself to english. I havent seen any adverse effects from its french beginnings yet.

Great watch to have with your samsung phone. I use it on the bike, and in the gym. It is very easy to use and set up. The strap is very comfy and the watch itself is light. I have used it in the sauna, steamroom, and swimming pool everyday pretty much for 4 months now. You can set up strava easy on this watch also.

Motorola Moto 360 Sport Smartwatch – – Five Stars

The moto 360 sport is my first smart watch which i have used daily for two weeks. I had pre ordered with amazon and had a great deal with the usual high standard of posting. My main reasoning for getting this was to be able to run and listen to music without a need of a phone. As noted by another review, when i first went running the music skipped continually and the gps distance was out by nearly a km. Not the best start for my wants. Conversely, during this time i found the weight and look if he watch more and more appealing. Some of the gimmicks such as heart rate,messages,emails,what’s app and steps app being shown was beneficial. The strongest benefit being the ingenuis idea of when charging the phone it becames a sidebed clock. Unknowingly i had began to rely on the watch day to day when i had only purchased it for weekly running. After 10 days i began to have an intermittent message stating moto body had to be stopped. I was entranced by the thought of being able to tell my wa...
