Current Apple Watch Series 5 user interested in breaking out of the walled garden

[tech_fan]

With the sale of the S20+ right now, I am looking to make the move once again. I tried making the move a year ago and acquired the S10 and the Galaxy 46mm watch. In the end, I had a number of problems with the watch such as:

Connections being dropped.
Delay in notifications sometimes as late as an hour
Heart rate being grossly inaccurate

I initially had the Bluetooth model but then had the LTE model. I cannot remember if I had the LTE activated or not.

Do these problems still exist with the Active 2?

Thanks

No.

I never had any of those problems with my GW 46mm BT version but I do like my GWA2 better, it's not as bulky so I can sleep with it on for sleep monitoring and battery life is also very good

Connections being dropped would be either/both WiFi or Bluetooth related. I have Bluetooth versions only keep my WiFi setting on AUTO. Connectivity is very good. I have a 42mm Galaxy Watch(8 months) and 46mm Galaxy Watch Active 2(4 months) Notifications on both of them are excellent. Heart rate monitoring has been quite accurate.
