Apple Watch Series 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 

I was just gonna say that!!

Exactly

I am gonna stand with you

I agree. And here is why: If you, the content creator, are reading this, please understand that this is for your own good and will help you grow. Do understand that in a vaccum one or two of these misstakes doesn't mean a thing, since I´m sure you got an explaination for each and every of them. But when they becomes to many and accumulate in such a rapid pace it becomes a problem and people are going to suspect you of being biased. Since you want to avoid that you better listen to your viewers. 1. The title states that this is supposed to be a comparison between the Apple Watch Series 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. Within the 30 seconds you told us that we will talk about everything regarding the Apple Watch and how you been using it non stop since launch date. And by the way we'll also be testing out the.. eh.. Active 2 galaxy watch from.. Samsung too. You should be more excited for the NEW Galaxy Watch and you should give them an equal chance at start. 2. You told us that Apple had the same design but Samsung has "flipped flopped" designs. "Flopped" is maybe a word you should avoid. There are other words to use then "flipped flopped" that are more neutral. 3. When comparing weight you said that Galaxy Watch is slighty lighter at 42g but was quick to point out that it was without any straps. Your point is that the straps will add to the weight. Than you mention that the Apple Watch is 47g (but you didnt mention anything about any straps). Maybe you should have done that. 4. You told us that the thickness is almost the same "but the Apple Watch is thinner by 0.2mm if that makes a big difference". Of course it makes a big difference now when you mention it. It's up to you what you mention and more importantly HOW you mention it. If you say "Apple watch", "thinner", "big difference" people are going to remember those words. 5. Then you talk about the glass but didnt mention the properties, upsides and downsides to the different types of glass. For example: Safire crystal is more scratch resistent but cracks real easy compared to Gorilla glass. You didn´t mention that. Instead you just said that Safire crystal is "definitly more premium" and that´s it. Not very helpful. 6. This is how you presented the lesser batterytime on the Apple Watch: You said that main selling point of the Apple Watch is the Always on Display which uses "many-fancy-words"-technology so it doesn't impact batterylife, which is not stellar compared to the active 2, but (!) it is a nice to have that display on. That's how you presented the better battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Let us all let that sink in for a moment. 7. This is how you presented the screenresolution: Apple Watch has higher resolution. (then you showed the numbers) Then you continued: The pixel desity is not important. (You didnt mention that Galaxy Watch has higher PPI). Most reviewers mention important stuff like that together with the resolution... you didn´t for some reason. 8. Then you continue saying that you got more precise commands and what not and are sure that you are dropping the name "Apple Watch" a few times and then ends with saying that "things are always a little finicky" on "The samsung side". You mean the "Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2"? Calling the Galaxy Watch "the Samsung side" just sounds bad and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. 9. In the segment about physical buttons is when things it finally breaks loose: You said that the top physical button activates Bixby which is Samsungs "Siri-assistant" or "Alexa-assistant"? I thought it was called "Voice assistant" not "Siri-assistant". After you said that Apple Watch has an "awesome digital crown interface" you began to talk about the display again and that Apple Watch surely had the superior display because its a square design and feels like a miniature version of an iPhone? What? Are we even talking about physical buttons anymore? Then you say start talking about other companies like Google and tell us that they all make circular watches that you also think are cumbersome. Why are you involving other companies in this Apple Watch VS Samsung galaxy Watch-review and start reviewing them as cumbersome too? 10. When adressing the lack of sleep tracking on Apple Watch you said that you are sure that Apple will add that later so no worries, and meanwhile you can use other sleep tracking apps. When adressing the fact that Samsung Galaxy watch got that feature built in you said that its very cumbersome to sleep with a smart watch and told us that it's not a great experiece at all. I will stop there. As I said in the beginning. In a vaccum I'm sure you got an explaination for every one and some are just minor stuff. But there is just too many of them to ignore. This video was poorly made because most people expected a fair comparison between the two, not this load of steaming garbage. I'm sure you understand that. In other words: The problem is the title! I recommend you to change the title to something more suitable like "Why I think Apple Watch is better then Galaxy Watch - my personal thoughts. And yes, I am biased and I know it". Thank you for listening! :)

@@RedBlueSpot thank you! Very true. The video screams bias.

Read this and stopped watching

I believe he highlighted his personal opinion along with the technical specifications of each watch

Exactly! In one part he said something that was only unique to apple then dissed Samsung for not having it. And frankly not needing it

He’s giving a comparison then giving his opinion, his opinion is basically saying the Apple Watch is a better watch compared to it which can seem biased JUST SAYING THOUGH Samsung watch isn’t as good as an Apple Watch, I have an Apple Watch series 3 and my dad has a Samsung watch, I try both and straight away just the fluidity of the apple watch’s display kills the Samsung . What’s not good is the price tho, the Samsung watch seems to be better value compared to the Apple Watch but if you have a choice between both 100% recommend Apple Watch. If you can’t afford the Apple Watch the Samsung watch is a great buy either way.

@@sheesshahab1206 didnt come for opinions and what someone thinks is better

Iphone users triggered lol

LOL... simple!!

lmao my apple watch s4 last me 2-3 days

Lmaoo

Preston Boyd Uhm, I have a Series 5 and I have 64% left at the end of the day Good enough for me

R.I.P

I loooooove it, bought it this morning 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

yeah me too seems better

Apple

🍎

@@andrewr7982 seems apple lost bigtime

Agge Dal who? you mean the reviewer?

Apple

I like when you and fin kick the ice Kings ass 🥶

Right

Mar C thanks for your personal opinion. I also got both iPhone X max and the note 10+ but using the galaxy watch. I was thinking of switching to the apple watch but based on what you said I’m sticking with the galaxy watch.

I have the Note 10 plus and also using IPhone 11 with Apple Watch series 5. Best of both worlds lol

let's also add that Samsung watches look like an actual time piece.. couple that with a really good analog looking watch face, and you've got a watch that garners a lot of attention and compliments (especially with the Gear S3 Classic)!!!

While Apple Watch is in the future 😂... Not going to lie, I somewhat like the Galaxy Watch, but at the same time I hate the Galaxy Watch. One of the things I hate is the design. For me, I really hate the design of round watches, one of the reasons is that it’s too old looking for me. I was taking a walk with my dad in the mall and stop by an Apple Store(or iBox or whatever) and we were looking at the newest Apple Watch and I asked my dad if he likes the design, and he said yes. Then, we stopped by a Samsung store and looked at the Galaxy Watch. Just when I was about to ask my dad if he liked the design more than the Apple Watch, he began to say that the Apple Watch design is better looking than the Samsung Galaxy Watch. These are a personal experience of average users.

same ! I have the 2g,3g,3gs,4,4s,5,5c,6,10 as well as s1,s2,s4,s5,s6,s7 edge,s8,s9,s9 plus and other not so high end samsung phones.But both ecosystems are legendary!

IKR typical apple ps you spelled "gald" lol

Ikr

Yep it's typical glass.. Just has fancy name

S&S Channel Um no saphire crystal is a much tougher material it’s much more scratch resistant compared to mineral glass which is simply just glass look it up so you don’t look ignorant

@@brianbuchert6382 that's true. But the apple watch has just glass.... They are just calling it ''saphire''.

fall detection, Decibel meter that'll tell you if the environments too loud. ECG thats approved by the World healths Organization. international emergency calling. the Series 5 will probably be supported 5/6 years of software updates

@@josemarieconsista5027 Jose Marie Consista Separated apps, custom watch faces, 200$ cheaper, fall detection, ECG that will get supported very soon, and on next generation samsung has a patent for a spectrometer sensor, witch scans food for sugar contents calories blood sugar and oxygen levels and even the heath of your skin idk about you but i would much rather have that for 200$ cheaper than a "dEcIbAl mEtEr"

@StoP TROLLING mE BrO what about the "5 tO 6 yEaRs WoRtH oF uPdAtEs" you loose lose preference battery and the edge to edge screen SO NO IT IS NOT A BETTER WATCH THEN Galaxy watch active 2

@@Incidental104 Chill out. I prefer the Active 2 over the Apple Watch but I don't freak out when someone says otherwise.

Are you really that angry over a watch?

Yeah

give him a break. It is his opinion

Vaporized World there are square watches just look at casio

Steven C ikr

Most of people do bc it is better watch.. Ignore this stupid fanboy

S&S Channel can u tell me why its better bro after video and comments I don’t know buy it or which smart watch to buy fossil5 or huawei gt2 or what can i do wannna help plz ?

@@SasiSasi-fy5be just get the active 2 44mm.. it's the best android smart watch you can get (or 40mm if 44 is too big for you) It's simple to control and get around (left notifications, right widgets, bottom right key for apps) and digital bezel is the best way to do it.. It has great fitness tracking, will last for 2 days, has aod, very customisable, has some cool and useful apps in store, looks awesome with that minimalistic style (tho that's personal thing) and all that for $300 or less (I got mine for 265e idk how much usd that is but it's close)..

@@SasiSasi-fy5be tracks sleep too which apple does not have.

apple battery is trash

Yup I'd rather not have to charge my watch EVERY day

Samsung fanboy

You can go with series 3, it's better with health feature

@@just_very_queer No.. edit. apple WATCH series 3 doesn't have WATCH ALWAYS ON feature which basically defeats the whole purpose of having a WATCH

@@sschannel4550 well it is now proper live savings health device , so always on display doesn't mean much. When you can have better battery life

@@just_very_queer 90% of people use a watch to see the time and notifications and basic activity tracking.. People that need to have full activity feedback use proper fit bands or more professional tools.. And on samsung you can go trough 2 days with always on.. and about 3 with it being off so idk what battery life you were referring to but if you were saying that it was fine for apple to not have always on on a watch to get more battery than you are a plain idiot and I congrats apple for charging idiots like you $500 for a watch that doesn't even show time 😂

@@sschannel4550 or the upcoming ECG feature.

Chimezie Suave um does the iPhone 11 even come with saphire glass I don’t think it does plus saphire doesn’t mean it won’t scratch just that it’s more resistant than mineral glass

Samsung people I swear 😂😂 plus the iPhone 11 pro and pro max work great 😘 ,, the xr scratch tho

Me too

I have both and my active two is awesome

@1% Evan Ł on the active 2 you can even watch youtube whit an app

you mean a smartphone, right? but I'm with you on that one

Some say a smart watch doesn’t qualify it as a true watch they have limited life and can’t be passed on to other generations as they lose support I like my Apple Watch but I have a collection of real watches 22 to be exact that have so much more character than either of these watches I like my Apple Watch mainly for heath and exercise ability but I feel much nicer in my citizen dive watch

Totally

yep

Samsung fanboy

@@benb4397 isheep dumbass

I have the large active 2 with display on set to full brightness it is outstanding and beautiful. I also have 4glte wifi and bluetooth on. It only uses 33% of battery every 12 hours. Used heavily.

Not really. I'm a die hard Samsung fan who also had apple devices. Even I can tell that the active watch 2 is still lacking. Fitbit has way better fitness tracking then a watch with active in it's name. I was gonna preorder the active 2 but cancelled cause the watch still doesn't have that many features for that price point.

@@tanboii2015 And Apple does for 400$?

@@Incidental104 apples fitness capabilities are also shit. But they have so many 3rd party apps and the UI is alsoore smooth.

@@tanboii2015 NO the UI on Galaxy watch is as smooth as iWatch if not smoother

I immediately thought the same thing (biased).

Mayatta Ndiaye you having both watches seems even more unjustifiable lol

@@brianbuchert6382 work and personal.

Mayatta Ndiaye I was just trying to be comical if it makes a difference I have 23 watches in my collection and I wmhave the aw5 but would love to have a galaxy too although I prefer Apple I love how the galaxy looks!

Salty apple fanboy

SKyline lol u don’t know meaning of salty 😂

@@redmeg78 fine whatever

TroyD 9888 I’ve had my Apple series 5 on for 5 hours and I’m on 95% with everything on talking to my son on it and getting notifications I’m not sure where this lack of battery life started everyone acts like it’s a difficult thing to do to charge your watch I take mine down to 0 and in less than 2 hours I’m charged at 100% you young people have no patience you a I want it now generation and don’t know how to act when you don’t get what you want

*grabs popcorn* is for controversial opinions not facts

What makes you say Apple Watch is better? I have a Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch series 4.

i’m thinking of getting that watch

Android fan boy: if you say apple is better you can't be trusted Apple fan boy: if you say Samsung or any android device is better you can't be trusted People just want to hear what favors their already formed ideas about certain subjects.

@@gumajr4752 most folks but I'm in the camp of "give me what I want" and I don't really care who gives it to me. Right now, apple isn't even close...My device line up... iPad for tablet Galaxy S10P for phone Airpods for audio Alexa for home connectivity My point is to use the best(subjective) device regardless of manufacturer. The iPhone... SMH even in the running

I've been an android user since the first smartphone in 2003. And unfortunately, until last year 2018, I had to change my phone / smartphone quite often. I always liked to make the most of everything I had !! I've had a device with an "unbreakable" screen and yet the device has stopped working. I have friends who have the iphone 6 still working today !! But I know few who own a galaxy S7 purchased at launch! But I understood your point.

Glad you had to announce it lol

@@ejakaegypt my therapist told me whenever I'm mentally traumatized, getting closure helps the healing process. That was a traumatizing video

Krypton 114 maybe, just maybe it’s because the reviewer actually thinks the Apple is truly a better watch! Not everything is a conspiracy against the galaxy lol

What about Samsung watch

Magic Mike it does my series 3 cellular does

im pro active watch but lets face it bixby sucks, that snarky remark in the vid didnt even hurt . i use google assisstant on s10 wish they would enable it for my active 2.

they wouldnt have any of that without samsungs oled technology for their screen they just tweak it and call it something else. so whats your point? samsung even manufactures their iphone screens.

Actually Apple copied Samsung. 1. LTE capability several years earlier 2. AOD several years earlier 3. Sleep tracking (Oh, that's right! Apple Watch doesn't have sleep tracking onboard yet). I'll just leave this one here for when they do eventually get it and Apple lovers will somehow feel as if this will be the first time sleep tracking has ever been featured on ANY smartwatch 🤣😜.

Samsubg has flash light its been around Since the first Samsung watch before Apple made their watch its downloadable in the galaxy app store... what are you smoking? Also watch interface is um preference and both watches HAVE INTERFACES lmao other wise watches won't work with out it. What interface are you talking about? Not bashing Apple here I like them too, But I don't like their boxy design.

@@VCSoulBrother oh there are only 2 things apple copied and 12 that samsung copied, hahahah dont be butthurt samsheep

I know that on the galaxy store there is an app to watch youtube!(on the watch!)

@@Leandruhh Oh yeah cool thanks

I don't think he's fun at all

in 9 months you will be charging apple watch everyday 😂😂😂

Mike T its been almost 9 month since that comment and i can still go two days with the watch no problem 👍

Ignacio Humeres lol okay

so why?

Hey, if the parts are good, I don't mind. Better tech is fine by me no matter how it's put together.

Blacky thank you I will since I paid for it lol

Wow!!! When was the last time you had a Samsung phone or did you come from the past (the year 2015 or earlier), post your question and then return to the past?🤪🤪
