  • Still a lovely smartwatch to wear, Navigating bezel is back, Feature-packed for the price
  • Samsung Health needs streamlining, Battery life hasn't improved, ECG and fall detection not live
  • The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is still Samsung's most enjoyable smartwatch to live with. It strikes a good balance between design and the features on offer. While the price has crept up, it does still offer good value for money and the promise of ECG support...

  • The Galaxy Watch Active 2 feels even better on your wrist than the first Active -- it's comfortable during workouts and when sleeping. An updated running coach works fairly well, as long as you can deal with the Bixby voice. The touch bezel lets you navig
  • Battery life on the smaller 40mm version does take a beating during workouts, especially when you have the always-on display active
