Upgrade to samsung galaxy watch 3

[Liorid]

Good evening
Should I upgrade from active 2 44 mm to galaxy watch 3 45 mm bt?
Is it worth it?
Thanks and merry Christmas!

Functionality will be very similar so there's no sense upgrading for that. Aesthetically, the GW3 looks (to me) much more like a "real" watch than the GA2. If you upgrade, wait for a deal as Mustang said. GW3 is ridiculously overpriced at MSRP. Even Samsung realizes this as they've had some great deals going on recently, though most of them involve a trade in.

I posted this elsewhere here, but the main reason I bought the Active 2 (and therefore would not buy the AW3) is Samsung's (IMO) major mistake in returning to the "stem" buttons that stick out from the watch's case; these buttons cannot be protected by a case. If you've ever (and I'll bet you have) banged your watch against anything hard, you know how easy such stems could be damaged. That the buttons on the AW2 are recessed and add both to the watch's ergonomics and looks make it a keeper for me. That, and the AW3 offers me nothing compelling in its feature set. All in all, a bad move by Samsung.

Not to mention, but the GWA2 has better battery life.

The only advantage the GW3 has over my WA2 is it looks more rugged and like a proper adventure watch. As much as I normally hate cases etc for watches I got this for mine and it actually looks ace and you can barely tell its a case at all

The only thing you lose is the ECG function as it covers the buttons too
