Thank you so much for tuning in to this video. So today we are going to be taking a look at this thing. The galaxy watch active 2 and this is samson’s hot, take on the apple watch and boyd samson just nailed it. This is a watch which can track all kinds of fitness fitness data in that advanced level of the apple watch, and it also has a ton of features which makes it a proper smart watch too, unlike the fitbit versa anyway. So with this thing, starting at 28, 000 rupees in india it’s also quite a bit cheaper than the apple watch. So in this video we’re going to find out if the watch active 2 is the watch for you. So here is the galaxy watch active 2. let’s. Just take a quick look at the box and then we’ll unbox it so it’s a nice box actually it’s, not that big. You just have active duration in this really cool color. It has this rainbow effect, which is nice, have the actual picture of the watch. Um. Just have some stuff on this side on the back. Just have some of the things it has bluetooth, wi, fi and gps; um 1.5 gb ram so yeah. On the other side, it says: samsung galaxy watch active 2 again in that really cool color and uh you’re gon na have some things in them: yeah it’s, a black. This is a black variant. I think it’s, the black aluminium yeah, so that’s the box let’s open.
It up all right: oh there’s, a seal on the other side too. Well, there we go okay, so here is the watch. That’S that’s an interesting way of packaging it. So you get the charger right here yeah, i believe, it’s, a magnet, yeah it’s a magnetic charger, and here is the watch itself, so let’s just move at least to the side for now so the charger and the watch. So this is the black aluminum variant with the uh black silicon strap on the back. Oh, that is very reflective on the back. You just have the heart rate and ecg sensor, it’s, a samsung, galaxy watch and so yeah that’s. The unboxing of the galaxy watch active too, so the watch active 2 also comes with a couple of new features for the original galaxy watch. Active uh. Some of them include the rotating touch bezel, yes, the bezel is back, and this is one of the most hyped features about this watch. Happy for that uh. You also get a variant in which you can choose between either the bluetooth version like this one or you can also choose a lte which is good for going around like a jog or a run, without taking your phone, so that’s, a new variant which you can Choose – and it also comes in two different sizes – the 40 or the 44 mm. This is a 44 millimeter variant. You can also choose the 40 millimeter variant if you want, and yes it also comes with a built in ecg sensor, so you can track your ecg on your wrist on the watch, which is good to see now wearing the galaxy watch.
Active 2. On your hand, it is really comfortable, which means you can use it as your daily driver, even though it’s big, the actual size of the watch it doesn’t bump around on your wrist. So you can wear it daily and one of the main headlining features of the watch active 2. As i told you was the rotating bezel. Yes, this brings back the bezel and you can see there’s, no obvious bezel as soon as you see it. So it’s not a physical bezel, but it is one which is given driven through software, so you can see it in action right there and the good thing about this is it’s, not feeling bad. It feels very intuitive when you use it. It has this haptic feedback and the watch vibrates, and it vibrates really well so due to which it it actually makes me want to use it more. I did not expect that considering. It was not an actual physical bezel but that’s nice to see the watch. Active 2 also comes with ip68 water resistance, which means yes, you can take it on a swim, and i uh understand that which means? Yes, you can take it on a swim and it also tracks your swim automatically or you can start manually on the watch itself and oh yeah. The display the display is absolutely amazing. It has a super amoled display and it’s it’s, really good, it’s, very vibrant, very contrasty. The colors are also really good, so yeah it’s a really good display and it’s.
Also, a gorilla glass panel, which means better again scratches and drops the fitness features on the galaxy watch. Active 2 is also really good. It can track a whole lot of workout types as yeah. Just look at these. There are around ‘ or so types of workouts. Over here and a ton of them, you can head into more workouts and just look at these. You can have all kinds of workouts, so that’s really good and um yeah. I think you have to do it for 10 minutes for it to automatically record them, but it does automatically detect the workout and um that’s nice to have in case you forget to start it when you start working on also there’s this one interesting feature when you Start a workout, it kind of gives you voice prompts either through the speaker of the watch itself or your bluetooth, earphones and that’s kind of nice, so motivational yeah, and it also gives you a pace and tells, if you’re going too fast, too slow, or it also Gives you your speed in miles per hour? It also tracks your sleep and gives you a breakdown of your sleep, which is nice. Like light sleep, deep sleep or your rem, sleep on the watch itself, so that’s that’s, a cool feature. The galaxy watch active 2 is running on tizen, which is samsung’s own operating system and it’s running on one ui 2.0. As of now, the os itself is very fluent.
Actually, if you have noticed it’s really fluent so there are no lags as of such, and it is kind of expected because it has 1.5 gb of ram on your watch, which is really cool, so it doesn’t lag or so it’s. It works really well um. One more thing is: you can go uh scroll through twitter or even watch youtube videos on the watch, and i believe this is just a party trick because who would want to watch anything on a watch. Did that time. For the second time i mean i, i guess, it’s kind of cool to tell your friends that oh look, my watch can watch youtube videos, so yeah that’s that’s, just a gimmick, but you know whatever it’s kind of nice talking about gimmicks. There is another feature and that is taking a picture of your outfit and getting a similar watch phase on the watch, so the watch phase would match your outfit, and this is a really interesting feature. Let me just show you okay, so if we head into the galaxy variables app, as you can see right here and we’re going to watch phases now you can scroll down and see my style. It says my style, so you click on that. You choose customize, you go to camera and, for example, let me just take a picture of my dress right now and i just click ok right now and i can choose a part of it.
So i chose this part. So if you can see it gives gives you some watch faces to choose from and you click on one you like you, hit, save and there you go now. This is a really cool feature for people who are into matching everything you wear so this this works really great, and i love this feature now. The galaxy watch active 2 also supports spotify, which means you can listen to songs on the watch itself and if you have a premium subscription, you can download songs onto the watch as it has 4gb of internal storage and coming to listening to the watch. The speakers on these things are really loud and, considering that it’s a watch, it gets really really loud. So that’s a good thing, that’s, a really good thing. The speakers are – are excellent. The watch actor 2 can also charge through the back of your phone. If you have a later galaxy model, you can just turn on wireless power, share and charge the watch through the back of your phone. So if you just head in to your phone and turn on wireless power, chair power share and if you just place the watch like that there you go it’s charging, that’s, really cool, so yeah that’s, a nice touch and talking about battery life battery life is honestly Pretty good on this watch, unlike the apple watch, which can last a day with a lot of usage, maybe a day and a half with the always on display off and minimal usage or regular usage, uh and the fossil watches, which are really bad.
They barely last a day, but the galaxy watch active 2 can last up to 2 days. If you get a regular usage with the always on display on as well, which is really good and you can get up to a day and a half or so with heavy usage – and i mean like really intensive usage, so battery life in that sense is – is Actually, really good, so the galaxy watch hack, tip 2 is a very well packaged. Smart watch and a really good one at that, especially if you’re using a galaxy device – and you are already in the samsung ecosystem. It makes the experience that much better and it has a lot of fitness features and a lot of features. It qualifies it as a smart watch and overall is a really great package. That’S been it guys.
