I watched the information about the new Samsung Galaxy Active 2 that revealed this morning. I am shopping for a Smartwatch and plan to go with a Samsung. I was attracted to the Galaxy Watch Active and thought I would see what the Active 2 offered before making my decision.
I thought that I would definitely want to wait for the Active 2, but now I am wondering if the added features are worth the higher price. I really like the size of the Active/Active 2, so I am debating between these two. Following are my thoughts and I hope to hear from other users.
The Active 2 has a virtual bezel and according to reviews lack of a rotating bezel was a big drawback to the Active. It is the most up to date of the watches. It will have ECG functions eventually. It has Bluetooth 5. It has a match your watch face to your outfit feature that sounds cute.
The Active does not have a rotating bezel....but would I miss what I never had? The Active is less expensive and I am thinking that the release of the Active2 will lead to some sales on the original. While the ECG functionality would be good to have, it won’t be available until 2020. Also, the original is available right now...no waiting.
I would like to hear what others are thinking about this. I currently have a Fitbit Versa and find that I miss more text and call notifications than I receive, so I want to replace it.
