I have the Watch Active2 and use it daily.

Differences:
1. Digital bezel on the Active2 vs Physical bezel on Watch3 (makes a big difference for some)
2. Watch3 is Stainless steel vs Aluminum for the Active2
3. More RAM (1 gb vs 768mb) on Watch3
4. Active2 is more sports (look) oriented vs Watch3

Similarities:
1. Same OS version, Active2 was recently updated to the latest Tizen 5.5 bringing ECG
2. Same screen size
3. Same processor
This tutorial should work on all Android Phones to enable ECG for your Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2. BP might also work the same way when it is released in the US.



Basic idea is to create your own certificate to sign ECG.tpk application and install it on your watch, then install the Samsung Health Monitor Mod app on your phone.



I have read lots of threads on XDA and can't find a complete tutorial about how to do it for Galaxy Watch 3 or Active 2. Hope this step-by-step tutorial will help. The whole process took me around 30 mins, it shouldn't be very hard. Make sure you back-up your watch first, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to restore data.



You will need an Android Phone, a Windows PC, and Galaxy Watch 3/Active 2 watch for this tutorial. And a wireless network.



Downloads:

Download Java for Windows offline (64 bit) https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp"]https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and install it.
Download JavaSE/Oracle JDK https://www.oracle.com/technetwor...index.html Click "JDK Download" from the top the latest version, then it will direct you to a new page, find "Windows x64 Installer" click the download page from the page and install it.
Download Tizen SDK https://developer.tizen.org/devel...o/download Download Latest Tizen Studio with IDE installer, click "64 Bit" to download and install it.
Download ecg.tpk, BP.tpk, Fit2Installer from https://share.cooltechs.net/ecg_downloads.zip
Download Samsung Health Monitor Version 1..1.0.167.Caravana (Thanks Caravana for the Mod) from https://share.cooltechs.net/Samsu...7.Mod5.zip


On Your Phone:

Install Samsung Health Monitor Version 1..1.0.167.Caravana on your phone. Open the app enter your name, BOD and etc to finish the setup.


On Your Watch:

From your watch, Go to "Settings"->"About Watch"->"Software"->Click On "Software Versio" 5 times until it shows "Developer mode turned on"
Go back to "About Watch", make sure it shows "Debugging is turned on", if not, click "Debugging" and turn it on.
Go to Wifi settings on the watch, change wifi setting to always On, and connect it to the same wireless network with your PC.
Reboot the watch. Make sure wifi is connected after the reboot.


From Your PC:

Launch Tizen Package Manager and Navigate to 5.5 wearable(It depends on your watch's software version, eg mine shows Tizen Version 5.5.0.1, so I navigate to 5.5 wearable), then click Install icon
Scroll down to the Tizen SDK tool and click the install icon
Click on the Extension SDK tab
Click the arrow on Extras
Install Samsung Certificate Extension and Samsung Wearable Extension
Check the Progress tab, once it shows 100%, you can close Tizen Package Manger and do not launch Tizen Studio(we don't need to use Tizen Studio)
Open up "Certificate Manager"
Click on the "+" icon and from the pop-up window click Samsung Logo.
Device Type -> Mobile/Wearable, Click Next
Certificate Profile(Give it whatever name you like), Click Next
Author Certificate -> Create a new author certificate, Click Next
Author Certificate -> Enter Author name, Password, Confirm Password as required(Remember the password,. you will need it when you sign the TPK file) and click next
A pop up will ask you to sign in to your Samsung account, enter your account information and sign in
Now it will show your certificate has been saved at C:/Users/USERNAME/SamsungCertificate/cert_name and click next.
Create a new distributor certificate and click next
Do not change Privilege and password information, do not close these windows, just leave it there, we need to enable debug mode from the watch and connect it to the PC now.
Open "Device Manager" from the PC.
Click the "Remote Device Manager" icon from the top right corner.
From pop-up windows, click the "Scan Devices" icon from the top right corner.
Once it finds your watch turn the connection switch to on. and close pop-up windows. At this time, you should able to see lots of debugging information from the Device Manager.
Go back to Tizen Certificate Manager, step 9.8, we can see one DUID has been added automatically. Click next.
It will show your certificate has been saved at C:/Users/USERNAME/SamsungCertificate/cert_name, Click Finish.
Download Fit2installer.zip unzip the whole folder to your desktop.
Go to the certificate(C:/Users/USERNAME/SamsungCertificate/cert_name) you just created and copy all files. inside the folder
Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Fit2Installer\cert Paste all the certificate file you just copied.
Copy ecg.tpk file and paste it at C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Fit2Installer\sign_me
Click sign.bat from the Fit2Installer folder. Enter your certificate password.
It will show "Package( C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Fit2Installer\install_me\ecg.tpk ) is created successfully." and enter any key to close the window.
Now go to "Device Manager", right-click your device, choose "install app", Select ecg.tpk file from C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Fit2Installer\install_me.
Wait a few seconds, you should see ECG app has been installed on your watch. Open it.
Open the "Samsung Health Monitor" app from your phone, you should be able to read the ECG data from your watch now.


As Blood Pressure has not been released in the U.S, once it released, you should be able to activate for Non-Samsung phone the same way. You can disable debug mode if you want now.



Enjoy!

Quote from mojako :
I'm not rich and I use the LTE on watches. It's just $5/month on T-Mobile so I just usually leave my phone at home when I go out on errands. The LTE versions also should have a better resale value.
To add to that, the Watch has Samsung pay, so you can shop as well at a few places without taking your wallet and phone!

Quote from PreacherCruz :
Really. 45mm isn't really large unless you're talking about a 5 ft 90 pound female...
No comment on that.. it's a touch subject, but 45 is really large for most girls, even for boys. I am not saying it's large for wrists, it's just it looks huge sticking out of the wrist and looks really odd. Compared to Active2, same screen size but 2mm smaller it looks more understated, I think it's the turning dial that makes this big. I still wish smaller one was available for like $10-$20 less, or heck even same price a lot of people would grab it.

Also larger dial makes it hard to do gym/sports/weight lifting/etc, just not really for activities.

Quote from LeviathanUltima :
Damn tempting for the LTE version, but I will probably never use the LTE feature so it's really moot. Wished the 41mm version is available for much cheaper without the LTE stuff because no one really uses LTE unless they are rich enough to get another plan. Also the 45mm is a bit too big for my small wrist. Plus I use mine for sports so it might be too big for that.

But good deal for those who need it and wants one.

43mm is really sweet spot when it comes to big looking watch faces, for example I love my Citizen EcoDrive Blue Angels, it's 43mm and it's really the limit. With these thick profile smart watches, when you pair them with 45mm size, it just look gigantic.

Thanks, but doesn't Active 2 have Samsung Pay too? Or do you mean did they bring back MST payments!? I thought they were done with MST payments (I love and use daily, magic, people go "whaaat, how did you do that" all the time after insisting "that don't work here, no apple pay") ?

I logged into my Microsoft account (November 3rd purchase) and I was able to click on the return button and print out the UPS label.

Yes, you dont need this watch specifically for Samsung pay. It works with Active2 as well without LTE.

No 5%, maximum I saw was 2%. Read the terms to understand which categories qualify for 5%

Good deal, got the black on black. I'll probably just use it with Bluetooth only and disable LTE for better battery life

I wouldn't chance it with Samsung. Your best bet it to Resell that one. And keep the new better price one.
