As part of the Galaxy family, Galaxy Watch Active2 is designed with features to bring more customization personal lifestyles, enhance your health and wellness as well as enable connected living.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 lets you reach wellness goals such as sleep, fitness, and stress management to completing tasks efficiently.

It comes in two different sizes—44mm and 40mm in diameter—and two styles: lightweight aluminum with a casual Fluoroelastomer (FKM) Band, and premium solid stainless steel with a leather strap. The smartwatches can be personalized with a range of additional strap and watch-face options.

And for those users who want a watch as stylish as they are, you can now customize your Galaxy Watch Active2 face to your outfit with the My Style color extraction algorithm. Available in the Galaxy Wearable app, take a photo of your outfit, choose from five different color patterns, and your watch face changes in seconds. You can match your personal style each and every day—or save a favorite style for later.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 also serves as your guide to improved health and wellness, providing actionable insights that can help you make positive lifestyle choices in your diet, exercise, mental health, sleep and more.

With exercise, for example, the smartwatch can manually track more than 39 workouts with seven of them automatically activated—including running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing machine, elliptical machine and dynamic workouts. With an updated Running Coach, you can monitor your running pace in real-time and enjoy seven different running programs to help meet your goals. The Galaxy Watch Active2 even incorporates new health sensors on the back, which take in readings faster, so you know you’re getting insights quickly to maximize your fitness routine and stay on track.

And enhanced sleep analysis algorithms help you work toward healthy sleep patterns (through the four sleep stages), aiding recovery at night and getting you ready for the next day.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 with LTE connectivity allows you to make and receive calls freely from the watch, while apps like social media viewers are accessible with just a tap of the finger, and offer more interaction with your content. Now you can like a social post, and even watch a short video clip right from your wrist. You can even travel across the globe with greater confidence, as Galaxy Watch Active2 now supports real-time voice and text translation in over 16 languages.

Through Samsung's partnership with Spotify, you can sign into your Samsung account with single sign-on from your phone or Galaxy Watch Active2, and browse through your music, podcasts on Spotify and enjoy a continuous listening experience.

You can also use Wireless PowerShare on your Galaxy smartphone to charge your smartwatch.

Plus, all the Samsung services you get with Galaxy ecosystem—like Samsung Health, SmartThings, Samsung Pay,and more—are ntegrated with your watch and across your devices. You can use, for example, Bixby to navigate your watch, start a workout or check the weather. And everything you do on your watch is protected by Knox technology.
