Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2

Samsung is a potent rival of Apple, as this Galaxy Watch Active 2 proves.

The features on offer on this device are similar to that of the Apple Watch but the look is very different. The round watch face gives a more traditional watch appearance but it is robust and comes with all the necessary software to effectively track your exercise and keep you active.

The rotating dial makes scrolling through apps easy and comfortable, but a major downside of this watch is that it only comes with 4GB of storage. This will be enough to hold songs for your playlists but it doesn’t give you a lot of scope for adding apps and utilising the software to its full capability.
