Samsung Announces Galaxy Watch Active2 With New Digital Rotating Bezel
Samsung is unveiling the new Galaxy Watch Active2 today. Ahead of the launch of the Galaxy Note 10, the company is revealing the new smartwatch that comes with a number of upgrades.
Samsung has upgraded the rotating bezel on the device that's used for navigation with a new digital version. The bezels of the watch are now touch-sensitive, allowing you to use it as a rotating bezel and navigate around the operating system on the watch. Samsung says the new rotating touch bezel works both clockwise and counter-clockwise.
The new Watch Active2 comes in two different sizes: 40mm and 44mm. Both the different versions come in two styles, a lightweight aluminium with a casual Fluoroelastomer band, and a more premium solid stainless steel version with a leather strap. Samsung will also sell an LTE version of the watch, and the weights of all the different variants will differ based on the band and make.
Samsung has even worked on an ECG feature like the Apple Watch, but that won't be enabled at launch.
Samsung says the new watch also comes with new "health sensors" that allow it to read data faster. The watch itself can track more than 39 workouts, ranging from running to swimming. It can also allow you to track real0time stress levels and comes with a new guided meditation system like the Apple Watch.
Starting at $279, the new Galaxy Watch Active2 will be available in September.

<p>The real question here is how much better is the silicon compared to previous versions? Apple has really outpaced the industry with their chips. </p>
<p>After a long time supporting WearOS, I made the move to Galaxy Watch and it is truly the most full featured SmartWatch for Android users, and works perfectly with Non-Samsung Phones. </p>

<p>This ad doesn't convince me to buy their product. So it tracks my health and I can talk to it if I'm feeling lonely and i can have cool wallpapers on it.</p><p><br></p><p>Don't really care about all that. And I highly doubt he runs all his businesses off his phone and watch. Yea, right. </p><p><br></p><p>But hey … Choi is really cool and has cool tattoos and has a cool car and disrupts the conventional paradigms of racial steorotypes by being a taco vendor which is really edgy … I'll think I'll rush out to buy one now!!</p>
