Quick Comparison: Samsung Galaxy Watch (42mm) vs Galaxy Watch Active (40mm) Women's Smartwatch By SmartWatch Ticks

Greetings and welcome to Smartwatch ticks were on the web at Smartwatch. Six. Com come on back anytime. This is a quick video to show you. The differences between the new Galaxy watch 42 millimeters, ladies version in pink of the Samsung Smartwatch, and the new Galaxy watch active again in rose gold with pink bands. First, the boxes you get the new active in a small box it sits in here inside this little container, is the charger and wrapped around the outside is an extra-long band.

That's how its packaged the actual Galaxy watch itself sits right here, really beautiful! You take off this cover that just holds this spot. You have a couple of little compartments that open up that have other goodies in it and a manual hiding in the side, and that is how the galaxy watch is packaged. As far as the active goes, what comes in the box is the basic watch itself with a band that is this long and a spare band that is longer with holes spaced further out, so it can fit a smaller lady's wrist or a larger man's wrist. You also get the little charging device. USB connect magnetic couple.

You just drop the watch on it, plug it in takes about two hours, I believe hour and a half to two hours for a full charge. I usually run mine down in a day to about 50 percent, put it on in the morning when I take my shower and have breakfast and within an hour its back up to a hundred that is the Galaxy watch active and everything that comes with it. The Galaxy watch now comes with a lot more there's. The basic watch itself again with pinkish raised brow bands a little different color. You also have a long one and a short one in the package, so it could with either size arm.

You have as far as charges go a different design. This is a kind of charger where the Watts sit in it like this, and you have two of these packaged together with two charging wires that can actually be unplugged and a charging unit that you can plug in the wall that did not come with the active. The active is considerably less expensive. That's all the packaging now, as far as the actual watches come over here, guys looks like I've got a notification coming on this one right away. Let's get back to watch faces.

This is a face I've put on both of them just to show you that the bezel on the Galaxy watch has an indented surface that hangs over the edge and hugs the screen. So it makes the screen look like it's fully edge to edge, also notice the white circle. The manufacturing process is not tight enough to get it to completely fit seamlessly. I think you'll notice, some white section of this particular watch face, have disappeared around the edge. In other words, it's gone a little too far over the actual pixels of the watch itself.

The active now when you look at the exact same watch face on the active you notice, a big black barrier around the outside. That makes the watch look smaller. They are actually identical. The screens and the watch faces are the same. It's an appearance, that's different.

What else is different? Obviously, the color of the Bands, the layout of the buttons little round, dots here and rectangular here on the back. You have the heart rate diode the little microphone area here. This watch does not have a speaker in it, but this one does it's hiding here somewhere on the side there. It is speakers over here and on this one there is no speaker at all. It just worked is on haptic feedback, a vibration.

Now it's much smaller this watch in the other video we did of a comparison. I have actual measurements. If you want more detail watch that one, but you can just see right off the bat that this watch is lighter, thinner and overall, smaller compared to this watch, thicker larger, as far as an overall watch just a bigger, bigger watch, but this is the smaller one, there's even one bigger the 46 millimeter watch. Okay, this one obviously has the rotating bezel. That's the claim to fame that you see with Samsung, and they kept it on the Galaxy watch.42 millimeters! This one does not. You need to literally slide to the side to get to all of your different widgets.

They call them. There's a representative widget, the first one notice I could do it here as well, and I have bitch eight to doing that. I'm not used to a bezel, so you'll see me sliding this way when I'm doing it. You also have a slightly different user interface when I slide down I have all these different icons now I've messed around with them a bit, so they're, not how you would get it out of the box, but you can see that there's a little different layout here. You have this thing that looks like headphones over a Bluetooth symbol because there's no speaker, this is what you used to turn on and off the tethering to your headset.

This one has a speaker, so you don't find that icon in here, but you do have volume, and here you can see. I've got a ringtone volume that I can change a media volume, notifications, volume and system volume. All of those can be set on the Galaxy watch. However, on the active you can only mute it completely or have vibration and mute. Mute is always on because there's no speaker, so there's just those two options.

Other things are nickel. We won't go into a lot of detail. There's only one page of these right now, but I actually have three pages on here. I've got more different icons, and you'll learn more about that in the full review that you have on the active than you do on the regular one now. This also has a special thing called a 1ue user interface face UI.

This one doesn't have that yet supposedly it's going to be coming, but you're gonna notice, the icons look a little different when you see them up close and personal. When you press the button you get into your overall apps, you see, you have a bunch of them here and, as you know, you can go through them. Sequentially this way now I've added a few new ones. You can that don't come stock with it. So don't freak out if you're, seeing things on either of these watches that you don't recognize, especially in this last page.

Getting ready for doing the full review on these, so you'll see more of what some of these extra apps are on this one. You obviously don't have the wheel to turn, so you can work your way through it by sliding, as if there were a wheel. I just went through all the pages like this, or, of course you can hit the arrow on either of these. You can get back and forth, so the layouts a bit different in the icons. Otherwise, the operation is the same they're, both really nice watches.

This one is significantly more expensive. It has phone calling capability with the speaker built-in you can listen to music. If you get the 4g LTE version, you can make and receive phone calls this one with no speaker is very limited. You have things like Spotify you can put on, but you have to have a Bluetooth, earpiece hooked up to it and tethered to the device in order to hear the music in your ear. As far as phone calls go when a call comes in this shows a dismiss button and the users name.

This one shows a dismiss or answer button and, of course, you could answer it, and, and here is the person on the other end directly from the watch when you're tethered to the phone now last thing is tethering to the phone. They both use the same app interface. They both work basically the same way except phone calling, so you're getting exactly the same. In fact, if you have both of them like I, do the app is smart enough, it will recognize which watch you are wearing and when you turn the phone on and have the app ready, it will automatically tether to the watch that you are wearing whichever one it is as long as you have set them both up to be tethered now. The last thing I want to show you is a little of animation now.

These are commercial watch faces that I've installed on here, but they really demonstrate the capabilities of these watches because they involve animation. What you're looking for is smoothness of movement brilliance of color, how they actually look on the watch this one with the ring all the way around. It looks like this when you wear it, how does that feel? There's the ambient display it goes into when it's off, that is the galaxy watch, 42 millimeters? How about this way there? It is when it's off here it is when it's going, that's the size, that's the appearance that is the galaxy watch active. It's your choice and your choices where to buy it.
