Samsung SMR820NZKGGF Galaxy Watch Active 2 - 44mm - Golf Edition

i have had a few very cheap "smart" watches. absolutely no comparison! this watch was super easy to set up. i have the golf accounts set up. i cannot wait to get this on this course! if that is anything like the watch had worked so far. it should be very impressive. love it so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my watch now about 6 months. I love how it challenges me health wise. I've lost several pounds. I really love it helps track so many things even the REM sleep. My job does not allow us to use our phone during work hours this helps me track important messages and phone calls just in case something important does happen!!My old watch did not do that. The battery life is awesome as well as all the extra accessories you can buy to really bling it out even more!! I only buy Samsung products I have NEVER owned Apple products nor do I have the desire to. Samsung's quality and technology is outstanding there is no other thing I even want!! Thank you for supplying all my needs for years now starting with an S5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the original Galaxy watch over a year ago and was quite happy with it but I pulled the trigger on the Active2 when I saw that it supported ECG measurements (I have afib) and works with Smart Caddie for calculating golf yardage (I also golf). Battery life is better than I expected (unless I use Smart caddie, which can use up a lot of juice) and the health monitor is really slick. I also have the Samsung S9 cell phone so the two devices communicate and compliment each other nicely.

I have had this watch for a few weeks now. I have owned one samsung fitness watch previously and a fitbit versa (first version). Coming from a fitbit versa, I will say I will miss the fitbit app when tracking exercise; however, the samsung app provides essentially the same information in a different format. The screen resolution is nice and vibrant. Even in the sun with sunglasses, I can see the watch clearly. The bezels are not intrusive whatsoever. Colors are vibrant as well. As a smart watch, this is probably the best one on the market which gives it a rating of 5 stars. The reason I removed one star is for the golf aspect of it. The golf app is not very touch sensitive and a bit tough to use. Sometimes the tracking does not work. I had a round last week and once I was done, I went to look back at it and it was not recorded. This is the whole reason why the watch is more expensive than its counterpart. I do like the aluminum instead of stainless steel so that could be another reason to buy this one over the regular edition. I do recommend the TaylorMade app instead called MyRoundPro. It is free to use and it gives much more information that the golf app that comes with this watch. I will keep attempting to use both and maybe edit this review later. For now, do a comparison between this watch and the regular edition and see if the extra cost benefits you. For me, I love the watch but the golf piece of it (specifically the application) is ok, which is reason enough to take away 1 star.

like the watch and would recommend. i have only had it for just about 2 months, so still learning some of the features. the steps counter is very handy; and i really like the fact that the face can be adapted to suit your dress and mood! fantastic.

i bought this for the golf feature and as another reviewer pointed out the yardages are consistently about ten yards off. others i play with who use other apps tend to show similar yardages from the same spot whereas mine are off. all of the other features work well but this is the golf model so the one thing that should work perfectly every time is unfortunately falling short, literally by ten yards

after using it for about 3 months i find that i love the watch. display is gorgeous, detail is great and the colors are vibrant. even in full sunlight i can see the watch information easily, with or without sunglasses. took it down two stars for the golf application. it is clunky and a bit unreliable. - challenging to get it started because the gps takes forever. - hit or miss whether it locates correctly on the course - may or may not keep the score i use golfpad, which has a watch app (connects through phone). i compared the two and find smart caddie to be more difficult to use overall. in retrospect i should have bought the non-golf active and put my own golf app on it.

the hardware itself is decent, but it sucks that you have a limited amount of apps you can install. also, the samsung health app wont even let you see your daily/weekly/monthly caloric burn. such a basic statistic, yet there's no way to track it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

purchased as i was hoping this would be an upgrade to an older generation golf watch from another manufacturer. the older watch is not only easier to use, it provides the data i need while on the golf course. it constantly looses track of what hole i am playing, caysing me to have to make changes at least every 4 holes. the hole view map, is too small to be of any use. i could go on, but then that would be deating a dead horse.

this watch was great for the first 2 months, but just after the 2nd month, the battery must have went bad. i wore this watch in the pool (4 ft deep) once, maybe twice. spent too much on this watch for it to only give me 2 good months of use. hopefully this isn't normal and is just a faulty device.
