Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Golf Edition with Bluetooth, 44mm, Aqua Black

2021-02-14T19:00:00

purchased as i was hoping this would be an upgrade to an older generation golf watch from another manufacturer. the older watch is not only easier to use, it provides the data i need while on the golf course. it constantly looses track of what hole i am playing, caysing me to have to make changes at least every 4 holes. the hole view map, is too small to be of any use. i could go on, but then that would be deating a dead horse.

i bought this for the golf feature and as another reviewer pointed out the yardages are consistently about ten yards off. others i play with who use other apps tend to show similar yardages from the same spot whereas mine are off. all of the other features work well but this is the golf model so the one thing that should work perfectly every time is unfortunately falling short, literally by ten yards

i have had several "cheap" smart watches. this is my first premium smartwatch. lo e this watch! it does everything i was looking for; email, messages the ability to reply easily - no problem. then there's the golf thing - awesome!!! track shots, no problem, course selection - very easy. the watch knows where you are and when you get on the box!!! i was amazed. love this watch!!

i have had a few very cheap "smart" watches. absolutely no comparison! this watch was super easy to set up. i have the golf accounts set up. i cannot wait to get this on this course! if that is anything like the watch had worked so far. it should be very impressive. love it so far!

after using it for about 3 months i find that i love the watch. display is gorgeous, detail is great and the colors are vibrant. even in full sunlight i can see the watch information easily, with or without sunglasses. took it down two stars for the golf application. it is clunky and a bit unreliable. - challenging to get it started because the gps takes forever. - hit or miss whether it locates correctly on the course - may or may not keep the score i use golfpad, which has a watch app (connects through phone). i compared the two and find smart caddie to be more difficult to use overall. in retrospect i should have bought the non-golf active and put my own golf app on it.

really enjoying this watch with smart caddie installed. the golf app is nicely designed for easy use with minimal interruptions to the game. mostly i use the gps distance to green which is the default screen. readings compare favorable to garmin handheld unit i also have. when different i suspect the watches slope reading is the reason. map view when needed works great with very clear graphics. score keeping is efficiently handled as well. like the colored green elevation view as well. watch is great off the course as well for health and activity tracking. using it with iphone and installed samsung apps. when used with iphone, there are a few limitations like not being able to respond to texts on the watch, but for me, that is not a priority. so far very satisfied.

this watch is advertised as an activity watch that may be used for swimming among other activities. i will report to you that i took the watch in the water one time with the water lock mode enabled and it broke the watch. samsung refuses to cover the cost of the repair saying that water damage is outside the scope of the warranty.

i bought this watch just because i wanted a golf gps, the stand alone golf gps i had failed and bushnell wouldn't fix it even though only 2 months old.. i figured if i'm going to spend that much money on a golf gps i only use one a week, i might as well upgrade my galaxy sport watch i've had few years and loved... i have not been disappointed... love this watch and would buy it again as long as i have the golf app... thanks samsung for partnering with the golf app.

the watch itself is nice overall. sure it can be a little sluggish at times and the battery life is just okay, but it is useful and customizable. but it loses one star for making customers wait about a year for the ecg feature to work, (one of its biggest selling points) and loses one more for when finally rolling it out, the ecg only works on samsung phones but they dont say that upfront when you buy it. contacted customer service who did send a website with a lengthy process and multiple installs on pc to "try" to make it work. no one should have to do that. so dont expect the phone to have full functionality when purchased, unless you have samsung, then kudos to you.

i bought this watch for the golf feature. i should have just purchased a range finder. the gps feature is only accurate about 40% of the time. today it showed i was 126yds away. i kept looking at the watch & selected the club for me at that distance. my shot came about 20yds short. i looked again at the watch and it showed 143yds. so i started comparing the watch to the course markers. it was rarely correct and was off from 6 to 30 yards per marker. the battery only last about two rounds. the golf caddie software is pretty much useless. it doesn't compute your handicap or even link up to ghin. it doesn't give you any useful info on your shots or any suggestions of club selection thru the watch, website or app. the watch ban buckle pinches the skin and is not really comfortable.

i bought the active 2 golf edition to replace my bushnell golf watch which is 5 years old and going bad. i'm very disappointed in the accuracy of yardage readings. i can't trust the app - sometimes it's accurate, other times it's off by as much as 30 yards. either the course mapping is off, or the gps capability of the watch is not nearly as good as my old bushnell. otherwise i'm very happy with the watch, it's just been a poor golf watch and i paid considerably extra for that feature. my low ratings are only with respect to the golf feature, the other features appear to be great.

this watch was great for the first 2 months, but just after the 2nd month, the battery must have went bad. i wore this watch in the pool (4 ft deep) once, maybe twice. spent too much on this watch for it to only give me 2 good months of use. hopefully this isn't normal and is just a faulty device.

i currently use a garmin s40 for golf and fitbit for fitness. after 5 year my fit bit breaks so i wanted to try a smart watch to combine fitness and golf. i like the functionality of the active 2 and i like they way works. the only issue i have is i purchased this watch in july and i have already returned it twice for repair. the same problem both times. the plate over the heart rate sensor keeps coming off. the first time they fixed if for free. the second time they want a credit card just in case its not covered under warranty. they charge my card and don't call me. i would not pay $ 81 to fix it. i just spent $300 and had to return it twice in 2 months.

i already own an active 2 and bought this one primarily for the golf feature. the smart caddie app is inconsistent, and i often have to do a reset to get it to work. i play the same course at least 3 times per week, but that doesn't seem to matter to the app. there are so many reliable golf apps out there, i'm surprised samsung didin't get a better one for this watch.

single digit handicap, looking for watch to support bushnell range finder...yardages off, green depths not matching published/measured depths. standing on front of green, watch off by 10 yards. otherwise, watch is stylish.

the hardware itself is decent, but it sucks that you have a limited amount of apps you can install. also, the samsung health app wont even let you see your daily/weekly/monthly caloric burn. such a basic statistic, yet there's no way to track it.

like the watch and would recommend. i have only had it for just about 2 months, so still learning some of the features. the steps counter is very handy; and i really like the fact that the face can be adapted to suit your dress and mood! fantastic.

I have had this watch for a few weeks now. I have owned one samsung fitness watch previously and a fitbit versa (first version). Coming from a fitbit versa, I will say I will miss the fitbit app when tracking exercise; however, the samsung app provides essentially the same information in a different format. The screen resolution is nice and vibrant. Even in the sun with sunglasses, I can see the watch clearly. The bezels are not intrusive whatsoever. Colors are vibrant as well. As a smart watch, this is probably the best one on the market which gives it a rating of 5 stars. The reason I removed one star is for the golf aspect of it. The golf app is not very touch sensitive and a bit tough to use. Sometimes the tracking does not work. I had a round last week and once I was done, I went to look back at it and it was not recorded. This is the whole reason why the watch is more expensive than its counterpart. I do like the aluminum instead of stainless steel so that could be another reason to buy this one over the regular edition. I do recommend the TaylorMade app instead called MyRoundPro. It is free to use and it gives much more information that the golf app that comes with this watch. I will keep attempting to use both and maybe edit this review later. For now, do a comparison between this watch and the regular edition and see if the extra cost benefits you. For me, I love the watch but the golf piece of it (specifically the application) is ok, which is reason enough to take away 1 star.
