Smart watches are becoming increasingly popular with modern users who are able to receive more information and monitor their health more effectively. Samsung has introduced a new line of smart watches Watch Active 2.
Depending on the modification, Samsung will produce two watch sizes with a diagonal of 40 or 44 mm. The case will be made of aluminum or stainless steel, and the straps are made of leather or silicone. A universal mount allows you to use different types of straps.
For both models, an AMOLED screen (360×360) will be supplied. Its diagonal depends on the model and comes in the dimensions of either 1.2 inches or 1.4 inches.
Watch Active 2 will be equipped with a touch ring that simulates a physical bezel and allows you to control the interface. For each type of watch, three color designs of the case are provided.
The most important function of Samsung’s smartwatch of the new generation is the ability to track the user’s physical activity – the number of steps taken, calories burned, and workouts. The watch has an automatic function for identifying the type of physical activity. Watch Active 2 itself will “understand” that the user has started running and will turn on to track all indicators, using GPS and a heartbeat sensor.
An ECG sensor is installed in the watch, but since this device has not received the appropriate certification yet, this function will not be available at first.
Watch Active 2 also tracks the user’s sleep. A store with apps is available, and the watch works both on Android and iOS.
The case of Watch Active 2 is protected according to the US Army Standard MIL-STD-810, which means complete protection from dust, water, mechanical shock and strong vibration. The screen has Corning Gorilla Glass. The hardware runs on a Samsung Exynos 9110 proprietary chip, with 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of main memory. RAM will be doubled for the watches that support LTE.
