Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Review
Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, a 40mm smartwatch and fitness tracker with a round face and $199 price tag. This is a smaller, lighter, more small-wrist friendly and more affordable alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Watch. It runs Tizen OS 4.0 on the Exynos 9110 processor with 4GB storage. It’s available in 4 colors, and uses the same interchangeable 20mm bands as the 42mm Galaxy Watch. It tracks 39 exercise types including swimming and is water resistant to 5 ATM. The watch has a heart rate sensor and a (beta level) blood pressure monitor. It supports Samsung Pay (NFC only), and is compatible with Android and iOS. Samsung claims almost 2 day battery life, which is fairly accurate. For those switching from an iPhone to a Galaxy S10 family phone and are looking for an Apple Watch replacement, it’s worth a look.

#gymislife nice time piece also
Yeah that annoys me too. Along with Samsung's consistently terrible wifi on their watches making "find my phone" useless. I don't get why they refuse to implement the 180 degree rotation feature.
Love your reviews! Definitely one of my favourite unbiased reviewers in the tech industry. Keep it up!
Is Spotify works with this one?
it is small watch
Love that shirt …. Where did you get that cat with coogi shirt on…
No speaker? Lol
I'm left handed also so I wear my watch on my right hand to. It's funny, because last week was saying I wish they had a feature that flips the display to make it more convenient for left handers. With that being said it's not that big of an issue since you navigate with the touch screen and using the buttons on the side isn't that annoying. However if there was a rotating crown piece like on the apple watch without a flipping display that would be a big issue for left handers imo.
I love this watch. I have it it's really cool.
you can go into settings to choose notifications to show an automatic preview ?
Are you married Lisa?
♥️
What about battery life? Any real user experience? Thanks in advance
I have this watch. Sometimes it vibrates and the icon appeared on display. It looks like small galaxy watch. Any of you know what that could mean?
Would this be compatible to nokia 6.1?
Quality reviews A-Z!!!
Already watched a lot of other reviews and only you gave almost 70% of the information I need. You dont review like you read up the whole Samsung website and call it a day — you really review like you ARE the customer and you really have the expertise on all of the stuff that you talk about and you are definitely awesome for that! Thank you so much you are my favourite reviewer of all time ??????
Hi Lisa,bought the Rose Gold and love it???? it’s real functional,easy to operate,looks awesome,love the voice to text, great Active watch and great price also,it looks more expensive!!??♥️
My dream smartwatch?
Lisa, hope to see review of Lenovo ThinkPad T590.
Does it have samsung pay?
Still not available in the Philippines. Do you think i should get the galaxy watch or should i wait for this?
What a refreshing change from the generic male reviewers. Much needed! Also, that t-shirt is hilarious ?
Surprised that you didn't address the blood pressure monitor, which became effective March 15. Have seen several complaints about it and was hoping to see your comments.
Can i use Samsung pay on it ?
Nice watch Lisa, thanks for covering it. I have the s2 and s3 and love them both.
Thanks for a detailed review as always. Appreciate the juxtapose to other wearables. I'm a Versa owner, Samsung Watch Active is a better fit for me
High quality review and content
Can you talk via bluetooth? Does it have a microphone and a speaker?
Nice review but your repeating side comment is so irritating. You get my point.
It would look amazing if they managed to make that circular screen edge to edge.
The most hideous packaging yet! Good god! No taste.
How does it compare to the older gear sport? Is the suppose to be the replacement for the gear fit line or gear sport?
No bezel = no buy for me. Especially for a fitness watch.
