I've been getting 2-3 days of battery life pretty consistently with this watch. I basically wanted a Versa 2 with GPS and that's this watch serves that purpose well. Having built in GPS is totally worth an extra $80-100 for me. While the phone connected GPS the Versa uses is about as accurate as the GWA2, it's certainly not as reliable. I was getting sick of my Versa losing connection with my phone mid run and throwing my pace off. I still take my phone with me for music and just in case I need to make/take a call. The heart rate sensor in the GWA2 is also quicker to detect changes in HR and is a little more accurate during vigorous exercise. My fitbit would consistently overestimate my HR by 10-15 BPM during runs. I used a Polar chest strap to compare and the GWA2 is more accurate.

I have the heart rate set to hourly and the weather set to hourly. It's the LTE version I've used it to text answer calls and I downloaded 2 games as well as messed with it quite a bit in that time. Not to shabby. It is super comfortable and a lot more useful than I thought it would be. I also got alot of complements from coworkers the first couple days I wore it.

I wish you would have spoken about always on display. I was having issues at first and I thought that I had a defective device. I soon realized that you have to have the watch securely worn in wrist and a clean sensor. It needs to detect you are wearing it. Also, the wrist wake up gesture kills battery. I have the always on enabled, the wake gesture disabled and screen tap wake up disabled, heart monitor always running too. I think it works best. I just hit home button when im ready to interact. I just look at my watch to check time (without any failed gesture issues like you said)and always on does the rest.

In the future if I was to buy a newer model at full-price I would like a lot of these complaints mentioned in the video to be addressed. My main complaint would be lack of supported apps and ease of finding apps on the app store.

Biggest issue is the 44mm screen. For the watch to track my heart rate, I find that it needs to be pretty low on my wrist and the larger version inevitably slides further down my wrist if I flex my hand, especially at night, which makes the sleep tracker difficult to track unless I strap it on to the point where it is too uncomfortable to wear. Same issue during the day, if I flex my hand in an upwardly position, the watch will slip down slightly and stop reading my heart rate. Other than that, I am super happy but wish I had opted for the 40mm version.

Great reviews Mike! I am getting close to purchasing this watch and your reviews are very helpful. I know the ECG functionality is built into the watch, but not enabled until they get FDA approval. Is there any risk that when they finally get the FDA approval, the functionality currently built into the watch will not work due to potential necessary changes to receive the final FDA approval? Also, are there any rumors Samsung will come out with a new version of the Galaxy Watch with the rotating bezel? Thanks Mike!

The step counter is a laugh. It gives me a bonus of not existent steps. A few thousands usually. I tried it side-by side with the apple watch and google fit on the smartphone. Apple watch and google are pretty accurate. For a distance of 10,000 steps (~8km) they showed plus or minus 5%. The active watch showed 16,000 steps. To be returned.

Thanks for the update after using it for a month. It is just available in my country and I am considering to get it. Still rocking my TicWatch Pro but I want more and the GPS on my TWP is never accurate. The only reason that I still haven't bought GWA2 is the GPS issue too. I run a lot, relying watch to pace myself. I afraid that GWA2 will just be another useless smart watch for running.

Just an update, I bought GWA 2 and used it for almost 2 weeks. Happy with the battery life and performance. The GPS is better than TWP but not super accurate like my Garmin Vivoactive 2. Something I miss from Wear OS is the keyboard, wrist gesture and back gesture.

Best review ever. After reading they had added bezel navigation in last update and the fact its on sale at samsung store for 1500SEK (like 140€) and seing it has sleep tracking with a nice interface (similar to Nokia/Withings), accurate heart rate monitoring (at least same as 2 and even faster than the 2) but most of all my favourite EUC app just got support for Tizen and I am on s9+ this seems like a solid deal even though I prefer the looks of the same priced Fossil Explorer, the dealbreaker is battery life when fossil only have one day and Sammy seems to give around 2 days which means it can actually be used for sleep tracking instead of charging. And overall I guess integration with a Sammy phone would be ideal. Thanks a lot and Samsung can thank You for selling me this watch with Your honest and solid review :D Subscribed at once. I Prefer these kind of unbiased reviews rather than the likes of Engadget, The Verge and (i)PhoneArena. Why? They are always Apple biased (first and foremost) and if Apple is not in the game the have to go for the second largest... Samsung, even when there are better options. So its You and Zack@JerryRigs for reviews now, glad i tripped over this review :)

Hi Mike, it’s a great review as always. I bought my Active2 in February 2020 and I had to send back to Samsung to repair. They replaced LCD (screen) , charger and rear panel. When I got my watch back I noticed that now it is a model 753C, but I had R830. Do you know the difference between these models and do I need to send it back to Samsung to replace to my model R830? I would really appreciate your help in this matter!

For all of you who have had the watch for a month plus, do you use a screen or case protection? Is it really necessary? Appreciate anyone's input on durability. Hey Everyone! It's going to be $240 and $220 for the 44mm and 40mm bluetooth, with extra charger, at Costco , Nov. 22-Dec. 2. I've been shopping around for weeks and knew Costco or BJs would have a good package deal for Black Friday. I can't wait to buy, especially for this great price!

Its very accurate. I was in bed sick this whole week and not once did it think I was asleep when I wasn't. Meanwhile earlier today I took a nap for an hour, woke up for like 5 minutes to put my phone on the charger then slept for another hour and it recognized that I woke up and logged two different sleeps even though they were only 5 minutes apart and I'm pretty I barely moved during the time

The ECG measurement is sadly not on Samsung's call. It needs to be verified and accepted by the country's Health Department for a go signal before they can activate the sensor.
