Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G Variant Launched in India

Samsung-Galaxy-Watch-Active 2

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G variant has been launched in India. Priced at Rs. 35,990, the new variant sits alongside the existing Galaxy Watch Active 2 model that was launched in the country in October. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G is designed to let users make and receive voice calls -- without keeping their phones around.

The smartwatch is available in 44mm steel dial along with silver, black, and gold finishes. Samsung has already started selling the Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G variant through offline channels, such as Samsung Opera House, Samsung e-shop, and leading online portals

Unlike its Wi-Fi-only model, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G variant comes with eSIM connectivity to let users stay connected and make or receive calls directly from the smartwatch. The smartwatch also provides access to social media apps, without requiring the phone to be in the proximity.

Samsung has provided sensors that are touted to track up to 39 distinct activities along with auto-tracking for popular activities, such as walking, running, cycling, rowing, elliptical trainer, dynamic workouts and swimming. The smartwatch also comes with an updated ‘Running Coach' that provides access to seven different running programs and lets users monitor their running pace in real-time. Additionally, the Galaxy Active 2 4G gives access to guided meditation programs through integration with the sleep and meditation app, ‘Calm', enabling consumers to have access to enhanced sleep analysis.

On the launch of Galaxy Watch Active2 (4G) Samsung now has the widest range of 4G-enabled smartwatches in India spanning 2 unique design templates, 3 sizes, and 6 color finishes. The fresh design language and all-new digital bezel UI in combination with seamless 4G connectivity make this watch essential for those seeking a blend of style and functionality said Aditya Babbar Director Mobile Business Samsung India in a prepared statement.

To recall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 4G variant was unveiled alongside its Wi-Fi-only model back in August.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 Features

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 shows that Samsung is racing to catch up with Apple. This smartwatch can not compete with the Series 5, but it’s far better than any other Android smartwatch.

Design

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is the best-looking smartwatch I have ever tested. The watch comes in two sizes, a 40-mm case and 44-mm, just like the Apple Watch Series 5. But Samsung’s round display evokes a traditional timepiece.

The effect is stylish and elegant with a leather band, I would not be embarrassed to wear the Galaxy Watch Active 2 to a wedding or a fancy dinner. I always leave the Apple Watch at home for pleasant occasions.

Samsung offers three colors to choose from: Cloud Silver, Aqua Black and Pink Gold aluminum with fluoroelastomer bands. A stainless steel model is also available in silver, black and gold with leather straps and the LTE version of the watch will be available only in stainless steel.

I also tested the 40-mm Pink Gold Bluetooth Galaxy Watch Active 2 with a light pink band, and I loved everything about the fit and finish. The band is more comfortable enough to wear to bed and does not irritate my skin or slide around while running.

When it comes to watching face design, Watch Active 2 now offers more customized options. All you have to do is take a photo of your outfit with the Galaxy Watch app and then choose from patterned watch faces in complementary colors. I preferred the most useful watch faces that allow you to add complications, such as the Digital Neon face. But Samsung appears to take a page from Fossil-owned Kate Spade’s smartwatches, which offer similarly fun features for making your watch face more personal.
