Well, I'm not familiar with the Apple watch so I don't know when their HR begins their alert but to me, 10 mins is long. Maybe Apple alerts after 10 mins too? I don't know but I am happy that a least Samsung has this feature when it didn't before. So at least our watch has the ability to do so just hopefully it can alert us soon than 10 mins :). I also am patiently waiting for their EKG to work too which I hope is soon.

Yes, I agree. I would like that feature to change too. 10 mins is a long time before an alert is given. I would like an alert as soon as I hit the high or low bpm so that I can take care of it.

Yes, I believe it will alert you after 10 mins which I feel is quite long. I would prefer to have my watch alert me if i have high or low HR so I am aware of it immediately. Maybe they may change it in the near future. Hopefully.

That watch face is the live wallpaper. You can find it in your galaxy wearable app under watch faces.

I have a GWA2 and I really like it. It's my upgrade from my Gear Sport. But I got the GWA2 instead of the GWA because I can call and answer phone calls from my watch with bluetooth connection. I don't think the GWA could do that. Also, I like the speaker on the watch and my Gear Sport didn't have any. I think there is much difference between the 2 though except for the calling/answering ability and price. Hope that helps.

I have the 40mm one and it takes the 20mm bands. NOt sure which GWA2 you have and if the 40mm and 44mm takes different sizes or the same.

If you have a small wrist the 40mm is a good size. I have fairly small wrist and tried the 44mm and it was pretty big. Even my husband said it was quite big. I think if you like it big then go for it. But I feel that the 44mm might be so big that I could whack it on walls and scratch it easier. Color is all personal preference. I really like the rose gold one. I find it more feminine and girly. I can switch out the watch bands to change the colors. The rose gold is more pinky than a true rose gold, imo. Good luck! I really love my Galaxy Watch Active 2.

I believe you should be able to use Android messages on the GWA2. Is the Android messages your default messnger on your phone? Is all the notification allowed on your Galaxy wear app?

I saw that watch face under the watch faces in the Weable App that you should already have if you have galaxy watch active 2. If you open your Wearable App and open your watch faces and find the My Style watch face it tells you how to use the watch face to match your outfit. Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's good you have 45 days to return it. I would test everything within that period! Do the water test, take it on your walk, check the gps, etc. So far, I haven't had any issues with my GWA2. The only issue I had was with a watch face that glitched my watch but it wasn't the watch itself. I am really loving the GWA2 so I really hope all goes well with your new one. Good luck!

In the samsung health app on my phone, I can see my stress track but there is no stress trend info at all. I will click on the stress trend and it will say No Stress Info. Is this normal? I would think I would have stress info since I do wear my Galaxy Active 2 daily with my heartrate and stress taken frequently. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the Galaxy Active 2 and I wear it daily. I have the bluetooth version. I use it to record my daily workouts I take with my friend and we compare stats from previous workouts. I also find the watch very convenient since at work I cannot constantly look at my phone so seeing quick notifications help espcially if my parents, kids, or husband needs me for an emergency or etc. I didn't feel that the LTE version was necessary for me because I didn't want to pay for another phone service other than my cell phone and I didn't find myself talking into my watch often anyway.

I have lightly scratched and bumped my watch but it did not leave any marks. I did order a case cover to protect my face watch from Amazon. So far I like the case.

My GWA2 is fine after the recent update. I don't know why your battery life is draining faster. Could it be a different watch face or app? Hopefully, you can get assistance for this issue. I really like the GWA2 and hope there is a solution for you. Good luck!

I would think that would be quite difficult to show you all of the available watch faces. There are hundreds! I have the Active 2 and there quite a few watch faces that I like. I'm sure you could find at least one. I wouldn't consider that a serious marketing shortfall since most buyers don't consider the available watch faces a make it or break it deal for getting the Active 2. Anyway, maybe you can drop by your nearest Best Buy to look at the watches and maybe they can show you some of the watch faces.

This is my favorite GWA2 watch face. The other day i started my workout walk from the watch screen (I usually go to the workout widget and start my walk workout there). While walking when i hit .62 miles, my watched went a bit wonkers. My wake up gesture wasn't working and my workout seemed to freeze except the timer which kept on going. I couldn't figure out what happened. So I stopped my workout, restarted my watch. This time I started my workout from the widget and from then on everything was fine. I can only think that perhaps this watchfaced caused the glitch when I used it to start my workout? Anyone else had this issue starting their workout from this watch face? I also couldn't find out who created this watch face to contact the developers.

Unfortunately, this has been an issue even since the gear sport. There has been requests for the screen to stay on during a workout but there hasn't been any solutions (that I know about.)

@Leinz How do I set my GWA2 to give me alerts for high or/and low stress or HR? Also, I thought that the GWA2 would take my stress frequently like how it takes my HR. Does it not do that? I set it to "frequent" under stress but it says HR. But I have no daily records of my stress (unlike HR where I can see daily records of it under "trend").

I was wondering if the GAW2 has a stress alert like the garmin and maybe apple? I know that the garmin alerts you when your stress level is too high. Does the GAW2 also do that? Or is that part of the ECG that we have to wait for? Thanks.

I really love my Galaxy watch active 2. I have the bluetooth version, 40mm. I bought it to replace my Gear Sport which I really loved too. But I love all the upgrade the GWA2 has especially all the sound notifications and the ability to answer and make calls from the watch. I also love the new look and watch band. I really like the watch band because it's very comfortable and thick. Although I do like the stainless steel of the Gear Sport face, the aluminum face of the GWA2 is definitely much lighter and more comfortable for daily wear. Good luck on your choice!

From what I understand, I believe the Galaxy Active doesn't make sounds just like the Gear Sport. For alarms and such, it alerts you through vibration. The Galaxy Active 2 has sounds for alerts and alarms and it can also have a ringtone for incoming calls on the watch. I guess that is one of the differences between the two.

What I kind of noticed with my Galaxy Watch Active 2 is that it doesn't really count less than approx. 15 steps consecutively. I think it's to prevent counting unneccessary hand motions or other motions that aren't steps. When I was using Fitbit before it would count each and every movement (steps and hand motions, etc.) So, for me, I felt Fitbit overcounted steps. I also felt Fitbit over calculated the calories burned but that's a different issue. Anyway, I do hope you find a solution. I'm really happy with my GWA2.
