Samsung Galaxy Watch Active

Advantages: They sit very cool on the hand, very comfortable and soft strap included, very light, in terms of functionality, ordinary galaxy watch only without a bezel, by design one of the best smart watches on the market

Disadvantages: Quite large frames, and because of this, a rather small screen (although this does not interfere with using the watch in any way), but if a larger screen were installed with the same dimensions, it would be definitely better

Comment: included wireless charging, the watch is magnetised to it, in addition to the charger. can be magnetised to a metal surface for brutal men with a wide brush, I think it is unlikely to fit, although there is an elongated strap in the kit, but girls and guys with a small brush are just right

Advantages: - easily configured and paired with the phone (my old Huawei pulled all the necessary applications and plugins and does not complain, it only discharges very quickly when bluetooth is on) - nice to use - beautiful, the screen is bright (but in my opinion, the appearance is more for women), intuitive - I finally began to monitor the calorie balance, with this watch and the samsung health app it's easy - the phone is not always with me (it can be on the desktop, but I walk around the office or apartment), so the clock with notifications and a vibration signal about the loss of connection with a mobile phone is what you need - for the same reason - a pedometer on the clock is better for me - at meetings / meetings / in the theater, when the phone is silent again, it is convenient that everything that happens is displayed on the clock - the clock itself turns on training mode, if you walk briskly, ride a bike or run (it is very nice that intimate "exercises" are also counted and even then you can see how many calories burned))) (but you can manually turn on chat - there are a lot of training options in the application) - I like that there is "sleep monitoring", but this is, of course, self-indulgence, it's just interesting to see what happens to the body at night - in 2 weeks no scratches on the case or scuffs on the strap appeared

Disadvantages: Not shortcomings, but the fact that we personally do not meet expectations: - the vibration on the alarm clock is rather weak and it is too easy to turn off this alarm (I turn it off without waking up, and even if I don’t turn it off, it vibrates for a minute, does not turn on again - I sleep) - typing text messages is a hassle; the keyboard is very small, and the voice input is recognized so-so, as a result, I only read notifications, I can send emoji in response, and I even stopped trying to respond with text; but it's still convenient - you see on the watch whether it's worth taking the phone out of the bag or will it wait - there was a day when they called me, and the clock was silent, notifications about letters and messengers came at the same time (I don't know what was the matter, m. the permissions went off, and then they recovered again) - now I wear the phone only complete with a powerbank, because the always-on blu tooth takes out the charge from the battery almost instantly, but it's old (3 years) and it also quickly discharges without a watch - I tried to install it maps for navigation and an application for remote shooting with a phone camera - deleted, the map does not listen at all on such a small screen (maybe it is easier on a watch with a bezel) and dialing an address is not realistic for the same reason as text messages))

Comment: this is my first smart watch and there is nothing to compare with, but in general I like everything discharged quickly (if there was a long workout, then in a day, if not, then one and a half), but they also charge too; I put them on charge while I take a shower, does not cause any inconvenience in the watch, I did not swim, I did not specifically check the water resistance - I can not say anything here, but I have no doubt that everything is ok Main conclusion: I need this watch to lead a healthier lifestyle and as an attachment to the phone, so as not to keep it constantly in your hands

Advantages: + compact size + notifications from any applications on the phone + built-in sensors + moisture protection - a shower and a powerful stream of water from the tap can withstand exactly, swimming has not yet been tried in them + excellent design + standard wireless charging

Disadvantages: - the skin does not react very well to a standard silicone strap - a maximum of 2 days hold a charge

Comment: I bought the watch in May from the officials, I am very pleased with the purchase. Addressing the male audience: if YOU like this model of "watch", do not listen to those "experts" who say,that this is a purely women's watch. Maybe in pink it is true, but I’m ready to argue about other colors. The design is gorgeous and minimalistic. To my taste, older watch 42mm looks very heavy, but I won't say anything about 46mm at all.)) But this is my taste, and others, on the contrary, will like other models. I mean, first of all, you need to listen to your own opinion. The phone now often lies either in the bag or on the sidelines, stable without sound. All messages can be answered from the clock - quick replies, a small keyboard or voice typing. About moisture protection - the officials even recommended that I swim with the watch, and not be afraid that they will break it. Of course, we are talking about swimming and snorkeling. The watch perfectly perceives active workouts, you can also manually start certain types of exercises. Excellent sync with Samsung Health. The heart rate monitor and stress sensor can be switched on for continuous operation. In addition to design, the Galaxy Store has tons of cool watch faces, both free and paid. I highly recommend Pathfinder, a lot of colors and information, I bought it for 25 rubles. A shortcoming with a strap is solved by buying another strap at the nearest watch store (the watches use standard 20 mm ones) or on one well-known Chinese site :)) And finally, regarding the battery, this is not a drawback for me, the watch charges in 2.5 hours. In general, I highly recommend purchasing. An excellent accessory for relatively little money for the class. * two fingers up *

Advantages: Great accessory. Should be considered as a nice addition to your smartphone. Long thought to buy watch or active. When I tried both models, there were no questions left. They are very pleasant tactilely and do not interfere with lowering the shirt sleeves.

Disadvantages: Everyone writes about large frames. This is true. But I paid attention to them only because of extraneous reviews. They do not interfere at all. I can only note one disadvantage that is significant for me, and it refers not so much to watches as to the samsung health software. Very awkward interface. There is no normal structuring and consistency. Insufficient graphs for sensor readings. Basically, a daily summary is provided.

Comment: Overall - super! I'll buy my wife :)

Advantages: 1. Compactness. Sleeping in them is very comfortable, they are not felt on the wrist 2. I perceive this watch as a very advanced bracelet 3. There is no bezel. I did not use the bezel on other Samsung C3 and Samsung Watch watches, I did not go in somehow

Disadvantages: 1. Small screen. I was very disappointed with the thick bezels (about 5 mm) around the screen. The working area of ​​the screen itself is very small in comparison with the dimensions of the watch. 2. Autonomy. This point greatly spoils the impression of the watch. They live unforgivably little, about a day or a half. With other watches, Samsung was an order of magnitude better in terms of autonomy. 3. In some widgets, for example, the player's widget, it is still not adapted for a watch without a bezel. Changing the volume is not convenient and requires an extra click

Comment: They look small on my hand, but, as it turned out, this is a matter of habit, now I look at them and it seems normal. There was a time, under the USSR, when men's watches were valued the higher, the smaller their size, I used small watches, appreciated the convenience, and in fact, there is a tangible benefit from compactness. They do not cling to clothes, do not interfere when you sleep. The information on the screen is legible, the brightness is high, but I would like the frame to be smaller, the frames spoil the aesthetics of the watch. The biggest drawback.Straight fat minus for this Samsung. This drawback must be borne in mind if you are going to buy this watch - autonomy. How much they work is no good. And for this Samsung should be ashamed

Advantages: Compact size, lightness, nice strap, regular heart rate and sleep measurements, online viewing of parameters.

Disadvantages: Probably not so impressive autonomy, probably due to its size. It is enough for two days.

Comment: In general, I am satisfied with the product, they sit on the wrist like a glove. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: -Compact dimensions -Convenient interface -Existence of NFC -Low price -Function

Disadvantages: -Well xs, it's hard to come up with something. Maybe there is no compass and the impossibility of installing it?)

Comment: Guys, this is just space. I have been looking at my smart watch for several months. These had a good rating, but somehow I was afraid to take them. What if not waterproof, and what if the dials will be only digital (I wanted analog). What if it doesn't pair well with Xiaomi redmi note 5 and NFC won't work. I was also embarrassed by the numerous reviews about the allegedly women's watch. In short! Everything works smartly and flawlessly. NFC plows, the pedometer is accurate, counts calories, pulse, activity (if you sit still). Gives a bunch of reminders on the topic if you stayed too long or if you started activity and praises you (you can turn off these notifications). I have a player, I connected it to JBL headphones, I listen to music from the clock. Calendar, alarm clock, reminders. Custom watch faces both in the official store and third-party ones can be installed (but I have only tried official free ones so far). I immediately downloaded Samsung wear, matched it within a couple of minutes, downloaded additional applets to my phone (since I don't have Samsung) - Samsung Pay and a few other small background programs. Small compact. You hardly notice it on your hand. And the functionality is huge! I took the black ones. Yes, they are small, but they look unisex. In short, I advise everyone. Thanks to Yandex Market and the market in the Zanevsky cascade on the 1st floor (I took it for 13K).

Advantages: Convenient and practical design. Good impact resistance. The functionality is enough (I really have nothing to compare with, really).

Disadvantages: Everything related to nutrition. 1. The battery capacity is too small. Charge every day. If you don't charge it in the evening, you will get zero for tomorrow. Charging at night you lose a significant part of the functionality - sleep monitoring. 2.Proprietary wireless charging. This is hell. Considering that they have to be charged often, the user is forced to carry this charger with him everywhere, or buy additional ones. In addition, on wireless charging, the watch is not fixed and it will not work to put it in a backpack connected to a power bank (unless you specifically wrap it with tape)).

Comment: In general, I am rather satisfied with the product. The only thing missing is a "smart alarm clock" and still more battery power - but this is the price of the design ...

Advantages: I bought a watch a week and a half ago. The watch is very comfortable. Pleased with a huge set of functions. I liked that the watch itself detects a high load and automatically turns on the training mode. I was also very pleased with the accuracy of the pedometer and sleep monitoring.

Disadvantages: Now a little about the cons: 1. Large frames around the screen; 2.Controversial moisture resistance (it seems to be there, but the manufacturer does not recommend even taking a shower with them); 3. And of course the autonomy, it is very small. My watch lives a little more than a day. I charge the watch every morning at about six in the morning, while the charge remains about 15% -17%. AOD is off, WIFI is in auto mode, Bluetooth on the watch is always on, but I pair it with the phone 5 times a day, pulse check in auto mode every 10 minutes, stress check is disabled.

Comment: I am pleased with the presence of a barometer in the watch, but in general I have not figured out how to set it up correctly. In general, I am very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: Connected quickly, immediately updated and very approved My first experience of smart watches, bought for trainers and sleep quality control They are friends with Samsung health, very pleased, quickly contacted and made friends, all analytics in the phone Continuous heart rate monitoring, they themselves understand that you have started training, for example you walk 20 minutes down the street and the clock itself wrote down that you did the physical activity and recorded the result, without unnecessary poking in the settings Look stylish Very pleasant and appropriate vibrations The screen is super I also test energy saving modes, but if they live in clock mode for a long time, if only steps and hours Probably 3 days will master it Fast charging, in the morning I put on charge, I have breakfast, wash, dress and they are ready You can read the messages you need, not everything in a row The dials are fashionable, but I chose informative ones, there are analog dials for fashionable Dials :)

Disadvantages: In the maximum mode, they will withstand 1.5 days maximum. It would not be bad for the diameter to be larger, otherwise my big hand looks like a toy
