As you can imagine there are tons of different options in the Electronic Gadgets category and even loads of options of products from Samsung so it’s important to take the time to find the right one for you. The four areas that we want to delve in to a little more are the quality, the price of the product, what the reviews are saying about it and then finally we’ll look at an overall score which takes into account the other factors.
Quality of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 scored an incredible 8.1/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Electronic Gadgets” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Electronic Gadgets. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Samsung are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Electronic Gadgets, so you’d expect Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Electronic Gadgets: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Electronic Gadgets, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Samsung, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
Price analysis of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 scored highly with 9.3/10 for price in our review.
Price, a hugely important part of any purchase. Price becomes even more of a consideration when we’re shopping online because it’s so amazingly simple to compare the price of several retailers in literally just a few clicks. In fact you don’t even need to do that, we’ve run price comparisons for you in order to find the best price. The lowest price we’ve managed to find Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 for is just £399 over at John Lewis & Partners.
There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2.
Prices of products in the Electronic Gadgets category
We thought it would be useful to spend a bit of time exploring the price of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 and seeing how it compares to other similar products. And also seeing how much variance there are in prices of products in the Electronic Gadgets category. To do this we looked at all of the products over at John Lewis & Partners, there were a total of 58 products in the Electronic Gadgets, and of these 58 products the average price was £241.98, making Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 above average at £399. We also looked at the cheapest option in the same category which was just £24.99 whilst the most expensive was £649.99.

So we thought it would be worth going into a bit more detail and looking at the prices of products from Samsung.
Prices of products from Samsung
So the average price of the 380 products available from Samsung was £539.71, making £399 below average against the other products from the same brand. With the most expensive product from them coming in at £5499.00 and the cheapest at £12.99. We thought a good next step would be to look more specifically at products from Samsung that fit in to the category of Electronic Gadgets rather than looking at all their products.
Of the 3 products from Samsung in the Electronic Gadgets category, the average price is £239.33 making Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 above average at £399. Again we looked at how much price can vary and found that the cheapest product to fit this criteria was £59.99 and the most expensive was £399.00 so there are again a lot of varying prices with the products.

You’re able to set daily goals and track your progress, aiding you to hit your targets. Real-time Running Coach Thanks to multiple sensors analysing real-time data, the Galaxy Watch Active2 can guide you with relevant coaching workout advice. The wrist-based, real-time Running Coach allows you to set a target and then prompts you to keep on track. There’s a range of pre-set pace programs for all fitness levels, to aid you to walk, jog or sprint your way to your next goal. Pair up For those who prefer to workout using gym exercise machines, the Galaxy Watch Active2 has the useful ability to connect directly with the latest gym equipment (please check with your gym regarding compatibility). Use the watch to activate your saved profile on your preferred apparatus – and finally leave your phone in your locker. PowerShare / reverse charging Most top-end smart phones are PowerShare / reverse charging enabled these days (meaning the phone itself can charge up other devices, such as wireless headphones or smart watches). Just place the Galaxy Watch Active2 on the back of your compatible phone to refuel if you ever require a cheeky top up when you’re out and about – and get ready to look out for some rather envious faces.

In the fast lane As splash and water resistant as some new mobile phones might be, we wouldn’t advise anyone to go swimming with them at the moment (there’s a huge difference between gently submerging a device in pure water in the lab, and the chemicals, pressures and forces involved when swimming). The Galaxy Watch Active2 is waterproof to 5 ATM, so there’s no need to worry – it’s great for tracking your pool-based training sessions – which it will automatically detect for you. App happy There are loads of apps available for the Galaxy Watch Active2 from calculators to music to health to sat nav – ensuring every part of your day is covered.

What’s the difference between Bluetooth and 4G cellular? Bluetooth connectivity Some smart watches with Bluetooth, such as the Galaxy Watch Active2, can let you send and receive text messages, answer telephone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your (compatible) phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Bluetooth + 4G Cellular The Galaxy Watch Active2 4G has all the same great features as the above, as well as built-in cellular. It gives you the freedom to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and even receive notifications when you don’t have your phone with you. Cellular Carrier Support Connecting your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 4G Cellular to a cellular network requires the same carrier as your (compatible) phone.
