So before this, I decided to hop into the "fitness/smart" watch scene... But since I didn't want to spend a ton, I waited until I could get a Versa for less than Retail, and actually ended up getting it for $130 Iirc at Kohl's maybe 10 Days after they first got them in.
The Versa was a GREAT intro into this world (in my opinion at least), but I knew I wanted to upgrade to something better. I'd been checking out stuff from Garmin for a while (after someone I know was talking about how much they love their new Fenix (5 Sapphire? I think. Something similar)), but the prices for the nicer options just weren't going to work out with all of the current and future medical co-pays and other bills that'll be coming in.
Ah, and I'm an Android user... So no Apple Watch... 🤷♂️
ANYWAYS - I saw an Ad for the Active2, and after a lot of research I was all in. Soon after I did pre-order for the 40mm (Non-LTE) Active2, plus that 10,000mAh Wireless Power Bank that came free with all pre-orders.
I fucking LOVE this thing.
I got a Rose Gold Magnetic Stainless Band for the Versa, and Gifted it to my Mother who I've been meeting up with to exercise 1-2x a week... And she loves it. She just wanted something easy, straight forward etc etc.
I bought a bunch of Bands on Amazon, knowing I'd return most... And chose one Leather Band (pictured) and one Black Magnetic Stainless Band that I really like. The rest will be taken to Kohl's next week.
I do have TWO QUESTIONS I'm hoping someone can help me out with...
Thank you in advance for anybody who has recommendations! I really do appreciate any and all advice!
SO happy to be part of this Samsung Watch family 👌😎
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, almost forgot... For anybody that wants to know which bands I decided on...
[LEATHER] - V-MORO (Black) Leather Band:
https://www.amazon.com/V-MORO-Leather-Compatible-Stainless-Samsung/dp/B07MZJ56QS
[MAGNETIC SS] - KOREDA (Black) SS Mesh Band:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SDFLS6V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_p8sODbPSY0FQB
Absolutely recommended both of them for the price...!
I recommend the Koreda Band all day long at any price! The V-MORO Band's clasp does feel a bit cheap, but it looks quite nice on wrist.
I bought the Spigen Liquid Air, which protects the whole watch body. I really like it because the watch body is protected without appearing bulky. I didn't buy a screen protector, but the IQ Shield is very popular. Note: The Spigen doesn't have edges raised high enough. So if on a rare occasion, I were to lie my watch face down, then my screen would definitely touch the surface.
Download the Galaxy Wearable app as well as the Watch Active2 Plugin from the Play Store. You'll need these, at the very least, when pairing your phone and your smartwatch. When setting up your watch, go through each and every possible setting through both, the app and the watch itself. On the app, I haven't found a way to enable the PIN security, but I was able to through the phone with some exploration. I adjusted the settings to help preserve battery life, like turning off the Always-On Display (AOD), being picky about which phone apps I wanted to receive notifications on my watch, adjusting the heart rate monitor to only check manually, adjusting brightness, etc. Flossy Carter on YouTube posted a nice review and setup process of the watch.
As ThatFoxyThing said, the watch's keyboard is a T9. I like it because it felt nostalgic, but I can understand why others wouldn't. I don't know if there's a keyboard watch app to download as a remedy if you don't like the T9 setup.
I've experienced a few connection issues with Spotify before, but it has since been resolved so far. The app is great now for me.
I bought my 46mm LTE about 2 months ago ($380 brand new from Amazon). Prior to getting it, I purchased the Active 2 44mm to try it out since it was the newer watch. It's a very nice watch, and not to knock it, but I really didn't like the way it looked. It's a bit on the feminine side and just looks odd. I returned it the next day solely based off its design.
I have since purchased a Ringke bezel for my 46mm...it looked awesome to begin with, but the silver bezel just puts it over the top.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGVRPP3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Jc01DbQDW6JXV
I run 5 miles a day with it, and workout at the gym. It records (almost) everything perfectly. Plus, even with LTE on I get outstanding battery life. So not only is it a great looking watch, it is equally a great fitness tracker.
Honestly, this little piece of tech is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G4343WH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
I just scored this one, among some others. It's great- lightweight and comfortable, but it looks awesome on my wrist. My watch isn't waterproof so I haven't gotten it wet, but it's canvas/synthetic so it may work for you.
​
Otherwise I also purchased a nike knockoff on amazon as well. It's super comfortable but mine is black and yellow so not the most classy. These QR bands are fantastic though- I just bought two leather bands and two synthetic ones, and can swap on outfit or running/sleeping.
I haven't tried this one in particular but I just bought a similar style band (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D76KDSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I've been pleasantly surprised. It has a silicon interior to help keep sweat away from the leather and it's pretty comfortable - not overly bulky and rigid like another one I tried. I've only been wearing it for a couple of weeks but it still looks great.
I think you probably only broke the glass. I've replaced the sensor and the back glass (without replacing the whole back cover.. but you do have to take off the back cover to replace them). If your heart sensor still works, more than likely you will not have to replace it.
Here are the links to both if you want to replace them:

Here are the galaxy watch teardown instructions.

It's actually really easy to do, good luck!
I received mine, a black 42mm Galaxy Watch, as a gift from a company we purchase bigtime from (fyi, I'm the owner). I agree it's quite masculine without some changes.
I am using this band right now rather than the silicon one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0773GVWFX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have on order a couple from Etsy, can't wait to get them:
I also made myself some pretty watch faces, well I like them anyway...lol...they're free if you want to use any: https://www.facer.io/explore/search/watchmywatch/popular
For an active setting I like MD 153 or SportMinimalLite, and for a more professional look I like AS_Watch_Mod or X2 Viron.
Barton makes the absolute best silicone strap, it has a curve on each strap that makes it more comfortable for a larger wrist.

I went this route for a more professional look. Also a bezel cover looks great in any setting. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HQ8NSRX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGVRPP3?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Sorry, not a suggestion but rather came here with comments about a popular strap on Amazon that didn't work for me. So I am still looking for a good milanese strap myself.
I tried the Koreda one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y2YLBN8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01) and while the "Sapphire Blue" was almost a perfect match to the active 2 "aqua black", the band was too stiff and too long for my tiny wrist.
Worth keeping in mind that the watch isn't really black so most black bands will look grey/warm black compared to the blueish tint of the aqua black watch.
I got my Active one of these and I've really liked it so far. Had it since May and feels like it does a pretty good protecting from accidental brushes against a wall or whatnot.
It completely covers the buttons, so hopefully will help avoid what happened to OP (sorry OP, that sucks).
Doesn't detract from the look of the watch either (at least with my black version) -- honestly I think it makes the watch look better.
If you decide to get one again you could try the IQShield like someone else posted. I've found it can contour to the screen's slightly curved sides which is nice. I'm pretty happy with it for daily use and scuffs. But it probably won't provide much protection against a hard direct hit to the screen.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7S9SMS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MFQVCb9ZAAAAK
I also just ordered this TPU case hoping to protect the watch from dings without adding too much bulk.
[ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8RJSG7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XQ8VCb0ABGSPT
Looks like there is a version available on Amazon that has the plastic/rubber clip on:

I don't think there is a lot lot difference and I am pretty sure both work fine :)

Backstory: I have been a watch guy but had no interest in a smartwatch, and actually disliked the idea of them up until fairly recently. Unfortunately, I broke my daily wear (A Nite Marquess) fairly badly, and was crushed by the wait time to get it fixed. So, I decided to give a smartwatch a try for a few months and given I'm a big Samsung guy, the Active 2 was a no brianer to match my S10. I immediately liked it and after picking up a leather band and the silver ring bezel for some accent flair, I am absolutely in love with it. I don't think I could go back to my "dumb" watches for daily use anymore.
Bonus shot with a 3D printed case meant to help charging (NOT my design, credit to u/often_wears_pants):

I have these IQShield screen protectors for my 40mm (they also have them in 44mm); it was a little fiddly to put on and at first I thought the edges weren't going to stay down but after a couple hours it dried and secured nicely. Looks great, can barely tell it's there, and is smooth to swipe on for navigating. (I also used these for about a year with my old Fitbit Versa and they were a nice inexpensive option & can stay on a couple months without peeling up.)
Same boat my man ... I love the midnight black but if I am getting the watch I am getting the bigger battery and bigger face. Not going to settle with the 42mm just because of the color. Looks like we got to go with the 46mm in silver.
Edit - Found this on amazon that might interest you https://www.amazon.com/iHYQ-Scractch-Resist-Shock-Proof-All-Around-Protective/dp/B07H9T55R7/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1539569392&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=46mm+watch+band&psc=1
It's not a glass protector, but it's a semi hard plastic that has a wet application. The adhesive dries as the water/soap spray dries, and it's almost invisible on the watch. Given the application process you're able to re-center it for up to a few minutes before the glue dries so it's perfectly centered every time. I highly recommend it!

P.S. I only used tempered glass protectors prior, and I'm very happy with this protector.

Looks great. A bit hard to get on so i wont be switching up the look like i thought i might but its great otherwise.
this looks like the band from V-MORO Leather Strap Compatible with Galaxy Watch Active 40mm Band/Galaxy Watch 42mm Bands Women Men with Black Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 40mm R500/Galaxy Watch 42mm R810 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZJ56QS
i have the black one myself. good.
No and I wish I'd seen those.
I ordered mine here.
At the time it was 290, looks like they have raised the price since then.
The problem is it doesn't come set with the US country code even though it says "US Edition." So Samsung Pay is NOT on the watch and cannot be installed without setting the country code correctly, which is a little bit involved, not just a setting in the menu.
Some have said that it's actually the international edition of the watch and that it won't have warranty coverage. I don't know if that's true, but there's something at least slightly shady there. I kept mine after changing the country code, but I can't recommend that seller to anyone else.
If you search "Samsung Pay" here, you'll see many others in the same situation, also in the reviews on that page. So as long as your refurbs aren't coming from the same seller, hopefully you are OK.
Got mine from Amazon UK last week, here is the link, hope it helps?

Aside from the slight increase in weight, I've always found metal bands to be more comfortable cuz silicone/ rubber bands tend to stick on my wrist. I've tested this out with the default band and the galaxy active band and still think metal bands are better. However if you rest your hand on a desk for too long it might get a little uncomfortable. An alternative could be leather bands but those aren't waterproof.

I bought the large size. It is easier to put and take the watch out (as it doesn't open completely and my hand is big). Wrist size 6.5 inches.

I have the same one. It really helps the watch look more classy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721W3MJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9OaDDbBRW81VG
Yes, that's the one I have. Like it so much that I kept in on instead of replacing it with my Ringke Bezel.
Edit: I got mine from Amazon. Just checked they still have them.

I can't help but recommend the metal link bracelet from VMoro. I have had this for months and it is an awesome band and inexpensive.

I got a free of those silicon apple watch looking bands and I like them. They don't have as much traction and seen to stretch just though got be to where I don't have to resize all the time.

They have actually fluctuated quite a bit based on CamelCamelCamel tracking of the prices.
Need to filter for the past 3 months to get an accurate graph but I would say you ordered on a good day.

This band is quite comfortable, but I may switch out to the black leather one. Installing the band was an exercise of frustration - following the V-Moro install video didn't help at all, and I spent about half an hour trying to get the bands to fit. I finally got them on by installing them "backwards." Instead of doing the normal way of putting on the non-lever side first than fiddling with the pin to get it in, I installed it lever side first, then used a 1/16 jeweler's flathead screwdriver to pop the other side in. Worked soooo much easier.
Edit: Added modification details.
I got theIQ Shieldscreen protector after I got a small scratch on my screen. It fits really well and you can't really even tell it's there, though it does feel different than the glass screen. As a bonus, I can't seem to see the scratch anymore, I'm guessing the adhesive or film sort of fill it in.
​
The screen protector can be a pain to apply, you have to be patient with the edges and don't get discouraged. I had a few air bubbles, but they seemed to disappear over a 3-4 days. I too have zero interest in a bezel cover.
I have the same bezel on mine..Love it..it's reminiscent of the fluted bezels Rolex uses..I also picked this strap up to go along with it...No gaps :)

Sure!

Aside form it being a pain to put on, I'm quite happy with it.
Yes, I did the Ringke bezel and really like it. I will try to attach a picture here.

Yea its true. I did a few experiments putting it on and off and I ultimately returned it. I believe I have a nickel allergy.
Here's the bezel I bought: Ringke Bezel Styling for Galaxy... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGVRPP3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
40mm version is up for preorder too.

I say absolutely. The IQ shield are by far the best. Here is the link. I am using them now. Not sure how they will work with the case but I never had any issues on other devices.

I have one that looks the same. I got it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0721W3MJ5
I can't stand straps that don't have the curved end links. They just look out of place. This one was easy to install (uses the quick connect pins) and seems to be high quality. I've had it since around Christmas. Only complaint is no fine adjustment to size. You can only adjust by adding or removing a link.
I was looking at something like this plus a tempered glass screen protector. I haven't seen one for the 44mm yet but I would imagine it's coming out soon since they have the 40mm out.

It's this one:

A tachymeter is used to measure the speed of something when you know the distance its traveling.. e.g. if I know point A to B is 1 mile long and it takes X seconds to reach point B you can do some math to approximate the speed.
For me it's just a cosmetic thing since I could never remember specifically how to use it without looking it up. And I have no need for it anyways.
