I have an Active 2 and 2xGW3s. In what ways do you feel the Active 2 is better?

I said the galaxy watch 3 was better not the active 2. I purchased the active 2 on day one from tmobile and they could not get it working the whole time after two weeks they refunded my money and took the watch back. The galaxy watch 3 was super easy to activate and use they have similar OS but the 3 is so much better in my experience.

How's the battery life on the 3? I have the galaxy watch s2 and love it. But only get a day and a half Max.

I wouldn't expect groundbreaking technology from the battery life. If you're concerned about that you need to get the galaxy watch

Battery life is great actually. Better than the active two was

Do you have the LTE version?

 

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

Do you have the LTE version?

I have the LTE version. I use 40 to 50% a day. Approx 15 hours a day. I charge every night

I saw you had an earlier question about getting LTE through Samsung and using it on Verizon. I don't think that's an issue because you specify the carrier when ordering.
Still debating on whether I want LTE.

Samsung did not ask for carrier information when I ordered it. I just turned watch on connected to the gear app and it walked me thru the setup, then looked for carrier information then Verizon pages came up and walked me thru connecting the watch to my Verizon account. It was really pretty easy to do.

I come to realize you're right. They list supported carriers on LTE, not an actual carrier selection.

This is my third Samsung watch I bought the original one, the Galaxy watch 2 and the Galaxy watch, in the LTE 46mm version. Although a bit pricey, I'm pleased with the protruding buttons, design and response of the watch. It seems to have better connectivity with the phone. I'm anxiously awaiting the ECG and the blood pressure monitoring functionality as that's what's prompted the purchase. Interestingly I had an issue with the Galaxy watch 2 and my Google Pixel phone with AT&t. It worked fine number syncing for about a year and a half and all of a sudden it stopped working and after several calls and numerous hours on the phone with technical support and going into an AT&t location, it was determined that their position was that it was not supported with the Galaxy phone on their network and my year and a half a functionality was an anomaly. I since switched to T-Mobile and their digits plan and everything works fine. Very pleased with the watch, no complaints, just waiting on the functionality for the ECG and blood pressure. Mark Stefko
