Samsung Watches

A Galaxy wearable is a line of devices made by Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy wearable lineup includes fitness bands and smartwatches. The current generation of Samsung Galaxy fitness bands include the Galaxy Fit, and the current generation of Samsung Galaxy smartwatches include the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, and the Galaxy Watch Active2.

Samsung currently offers three smartwatch models; the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, and the Galaxy Watch Active2. These smartwatches are all water-resistant to 50 meters per ISO standard 22810:2010. The Galaxy watch can be submerged in water, but Samsung states the device should not be exposed to fast-flowing water and should be rinsed with fresh water if used in saltwater or chlorinated water.

Galaxy watch retail pricing for the Galaxy Watch begins at $260, at $180 for the Galaxy Watch Active, and at $250 for the Galaxy Watch Active2. However, buying a used model directly from another Swappa user means you can get a cheaper price.

The Galaxy watch will work with an iPhone, however, some features will be limited and/or unavailable. Samsung has said iPhone users will not be able to reply to messages from their watch, and that some S Health features and some Samsung device-only features such as Samsung Pay will be unavailable. Additionally, when paired with an iPhone, a Galaxy watch can only download free apps and Watch-specific apps from the Samsung Galaxy Apps store. The Samsung Galaxy watch can be paired with the iPhone 5 or newer and running iOS 9.0 or later.
