Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 (44mm) Cloud Silver, US Version (Renewed)

So far so good. It's working great. Battery lasts at least two days. Great watch.

I purchased this watch because mine broke. This brand has awesome battery life and connects to my Samsung phone great! Not to mention inexpensive.

I really had high hopes for this refurbished watch. I bought the active2 watch back in 2020 brand new from Bestbuy and it worked great! It wasn't until last month that the screen stopped working and since they are no longer sold brand new I decided to buy this refurbished one. It was fine for the first week but then the backing to the sensor fell off while I was doing my workout. I don't really use the watch all that much only for the gym but I'm really disappointed that it only lasted a week before it started to fall apart. I knew it wasn't gonna be perfect because it's used but still this is kinda ridiculous. Save yourselves the trouble and just buy the newer watch.

I’m very glad about this purchase Galaxy Watch Active 2. It’s still worth buying! It’s light enough for all-day wearing without difficulty and complement any style. Now I can monitor my sleep, accelerometer, heart rate, stress level, and much more… whether I’m running around or working hard, this watch provides real-time health metrics so you can stay at peak performance. It also ensures to keep you connected, so it's the ideal companion for your active lifestyle.

I've had a Huawei Watch running WearOS for around five years. I really liked having a smartwatch (mainly for notifications) but the Huawei battery wouldn't even last a work day anymore (and even when new barely made it a full work day) and was dog slow. I wanted to get another WearOS watch but they're all based on an outdated Qualcomm SoC which makes even a brand new one slow with poor battery life. Since I have a Samsung Note 9 phone, a Samsung watch was the next obvious choice. I bought a refurbished model due to the price. It came 100% pristine and indistinguishable from new. I don't know how long this sat on the shelf but the battery was absolutely dead. The screen didn't even turn on to show it was charging until 5-10 minutes after I plugged it in. That's bad for long term battery health. This 44mm version is FAR lighter than my Huawei watch. Performance is very snappy and notifications work great. The battery lasts two days which is awesome. I'm not sure how tough the glass will prove to be (the Huawei has a sapphire crystal that I never managed to scratch) but only time will tell. I did end up sending this watch back to buy one in black however. The "silver" color has a significant bluish cast. I wear my watches with metal bands and the blue/silver color doesn't match anything available. I ended up going with a black version (which I really don't like versus silver but I had no choice) and so far so good (except that I've already scratched the body). So, I was very happy with the watch but not so happy with the color.

Very nice watch.. a little bit hard to set up but I think it's more because I'm technologyly retarded and it's a little too smart for me lol

UPDATE: a refund was issued, the situation made right. Customer service five stars 🤩 I purchased this Galaxy Active 2 watch in April. Hello July (4 months), and said watch is possessed!! Randomly changes home screens, set a 4am alarm, and the touch function no longer works. I do not wear my watch in water, that is how my last watch died. It was easy to set up and pair to my phone, it just didn't last.

Easy to set up. Hardly any signs if been refurbished watch. All features work 100% unisex. Looks awesome with the silicone bad or any metal band.
