Bixby isn't strong,No rotating bezel,No LTE model,Tizen OS still lacks apps,Active 2 has more features
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is a lovely simple and sophisticated smartwatch that offers a smaller, sportier version of the Galaxy Watch.We're sad to see the rotating bezel go but the Active's seamless design is nice and it looks great on.We'll let you...
Waterproof and can be used to track swimming, Rotating dial on the bezel makes it easy to control the watch and acts as a guard for the screen too, Built-in heart rate monitor is simple to use and accurate, You can store music on the watch to listen to wh

Abstract: Divorce yourself from the far out sci-fi depictions and crazy nerd dreams of what a smartwatch is supposed to be for just a second, and instead think about what makes sense for a wrist-mounted device in 2018. You'll quickly realise there's a huge gap betw...

Solid fitness and sports tracking features, Slick Tizen OS, 2 day+ battery life
Bixby is lousy, App quality still lacking, Big battery claims seem optimistic
