Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Bluetooth Aluminium 44mm – Pink : The best smart watch ever.

To begin with, i was sent a watch running the polish version of the firmware not the uk so i have sent it back. I bought the watch because my fitbit versa had broken but after briefly using the active 2 for a day i managed to get fitbit to give me 50 percent off the versa 2 which is saving me a staggering £150 compared to owning this watch. After years of owning fitbits, since 2013 i can honestly say that this watch just isn’t for me. I like to monitor my heart rate, steps and calories burned. I also like being able to view notifications from text messages, whatsapp, fb messenger etc. I found that the active 2’s ability to do those things wasn’t as good as the fitbits. The heart rate sensor wasn’t picking up my heart rate as well as it should and the notifications are horrible, having to endlessly swipe left or right or glide your finger over the touch bezel is not very intuitive at all. When a new notification comes through you have to press the back button to get rid of itthe fitbit notification system is just like ios/android drop down menu, you can view all your notifications on one screen and swipe them away when required. I am used to charging my fitbit once every 5 days at a push. This watch needs charging almost every day which just doesn’t feel right. The fitbit just feels like part of your body that you can forget about, you can swim, shower and sleep with it on, not having to worry about charging it for 5 days. It chagres much faster tooto stop waffling, i think this is the watch to have if you want to work out without bringing your phone with you. If you don’t mind bringing your phone with you then there is no point at all getting this watch.

I ordered the 40mm version for my wife as well as this 44mm version which both have now been delivered but i am sure there was a free samsung ep-n6100 wireless charger duo if you pre-ordered the watches therefore there should be two of these chargers delivered.

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.

I’ve been using this watch for just over a week now and am very pleased with it. Unlike much of samsung’s target market, i have no interest in using it for sports or health, apart from the pedometer. I wanted a decent smart watch for emails, news, twitter etc and this looked like the best option. I chose the 44mm face with its larger screen. Which version to get?it was far from easy deciding whether to get the 4g (lte) or bluetooth version, but was much helped by a review from andrew martonik, ‘should you buy a samsung galaxy watch with lte?’ (can’t provide link, sorry) who pointed out there are few benefits and much additional cost with the 4g. As i don’t always have my phone with me, i’d hoped i could slot in a pay as you go sim, but the watch does not take a sim at all, so it would mean another phone contract. So i went for the wireless version. Chargerit came with a dinky little charger, a magnetic disc about the size of the watch itself, though i was sorry to see the charging cable was only one metre long. This is a real issue as most of my sockets are at floor level, so the watch hardly reached a table or work surface to charge. It doesn’t take long to charge (a couple of hours maybe) and the charge lasts about two days, which is fine.

Battery life is amazing easily lasts for 2 days. It never lags, very fast processing. Its features are useful and fun. I use it for work out as well and it’s everything you’d need. The only con i’d say is that it doesn’t have google pay. It has samsung pay but i don’t use that. Anyway, would recommend for everyone.

TOPsic Compatible Garmin Fenix 5 Straps : Great

I couldn’t stand the silicon band that came with my 935. Softer and fits better for my smaller wrist. Soak them in vinegar water for overnight to take out the smell. Fits perfect and the price is right. Don’t know why people are saying poor quality. Feels and looks like the original. Great straps to switch in — almost identical to the actual straps that come with the watch, though perhaps a very very slight bit more flexible/softer. Great straps and will be buying other colors as well. No reason to buy from garmin and spend >2x as much, these are great. Close to a garmin original but half the price. Catches work well on my fenix5 – look like the original which fell apart after 2 years. No issues with the 40-50 activities i’ve done since buying (cross bike/running). Will look to buy again if i need any more. Good fit and looks good now have yellow and blue :). Like that it arrived with tools required – easy to fit. Fits great, and very secure. I got the neon green one for biki...

Samsung Mobile UK Qi Quick Charging Station – If bought for a note 7 ensure you have a compatible quick charge wire for the dock

Do need to buy compatible wire separately which i was expecting and brought in advance. Can place fingers around charger to use phone and charge at same time. Ok but doesn’t come with a cable or plug. Great samsung galaxy qi wireless charging stand. Works perfectly after using it for a couple of months. Easy and straightforward charges my samsung s6 phone just over 2 hours from 0 battery life. Blue led indicator lights up whilst on charge and when fully charged led light turns green. Purchased from amazon directly. I love being able to see the time without picking up my phone or who’s calling or the date. I love not having to plug it in or out every time i want to use it/charge it. It’s white matching my desk and my other wireless charger and stops the cable always falling down the back. The blue light is a little bright for the bedroom but sort of acts as a night light. It takes a little longer to charge than the cable, even as a fast charger, but it’s an acceptable level. Buying...
