I really like mine. Use it for pretty much everything you use one of these for. Notifications, exercising, etc.
Nothing compares to Apple watches but if you prefer android phones, this is a pretty good watch.
Not a fan of the apps or Bixby, but I've had trouble with Wear OS watches in the past, so Samsung it is. Wear OS watches are not reliable, in hardware or software.

Could not get most of its features to work on a non samsung phone.
Samsung pay does not work without first running the app on the phone which would not run on my LG phone. The galaxy ecg and bp features are region limited and may not work on all active 2 models. I believe ECG is working (but kinda pointless since it doesn't really give you any useful information) and bp has not been enabled yet in this region. No SPO2 currently.
You will need access to the galaxy store for full features which also is not available on non-samsung phones.
It runs tizen os which does not run android wearos apps. This means the apps are pretty limited. No slack, outlook was so useless I uninstalled it to save battery. No teams.
I ended up switching to a fossil wearos watch. Its not as nice as this watch, but i am able to fully use all the features it does support independent of the phone (even though it does not have LTE like my galaxy active 2).
I'm holding on the galaxy active 2 in the hopes that more features are enabled. I even bought a samsung phone to get many of the features working, but I think its a losing proposition.

No didn't misspell. I can say the same about any scumsung product. Most buy and like, myself included but scumsung does things that i absolutely hate and for that reason i won't buy anything scumsung branded any time soon or ever. . How can a waterproof rated watch get water damaged and scumsung refuses to repair water damage? And costco doesn't want to take it back, per reviews. I assume there's no costco visa extended warranty on watches? That's what reviews say.
I ordered mine on 2/14 with an expected ship date of 2/17, that got delayed and didn't get here until today, 2/18. In the package was just the Active 2 but no extra charging dock.
