Samsung is the only other company apart from Apple to make our list of the best overall smartwatches available in 2021 twice, an achievement made that much greater by the fact that the Galaxy Watch Active 2 came out all the way back in the fall of 2019.
That makes it even harder than usual to choose between the two powerful and stylish intelligent timepieces that just so happen to be compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets. Of course, depending on how much you’re willing to pay, said choice could become a lot easier, and the same goes for the two’s connectivity options.
Meanwhile, both the 40 and 44mm Galaxy Watch Active 2 sizes, with or without standalone cellular support, can be had for a cool $70 less than usual in multiple paint jobs.
Obviously, the older and slightly humbler model is normally cheaper too, fetching $249.99 and up, with the premium Galaxy Watch 3 from last year typically starting at $399.99 and thus being available at the time of this writing at up to a huge 38 percent discount.
