Me too! Samsung sold the Active claiming BP detection by the watch (no reference to needing 3rd party app) and it never happened and now they sell the Active 2 claiming ECG monitoring, AFIB and falls detection - guess what we're all still waiting. I'm a little surpised that such blatant mis-selling hasn't landed Samsung in legal hot water. Competitor Withings have also launched a hybrid SmartWatch with ECG monitoring, but they didn't launch until it was fully operational and had achieved both FDA accreditation and EU approval. It is a little like buying a car that will get wheels eventually!! Would you buy it? ... View more

Hi, How are you getting that map on your watch?? I'm intrigued cos there is no map on mine. If I manually start a hike or run on the watch, with watch location on and auto start with activities, then the log on the Health App on the phone has a map. Any activity autodetected by the watch has no map on watch or phone. ... View more

Hi,   Sadly (disappointed) I have to agree the sleep tracking with both Active and Active 2 watches is very poor and unreliable. I'm a long term user of Amazfit devices including my current Verge Lite watch and its sleep tracking, although not as sophisticated (no rem detection), is very reliable and precise. The time for falling asleep and waking are always spot on and it tracks deep and light sleep very well. My point is that I expected a (much) more expensive and sophisticated watch such as Samsung to be even better, but clearly I was wrong.  I do like the look and comfort of the Active 2 and I eagerly await the eventual upgrade to activate its ECG monitoring capability, but no idea how long I'll be waiting for.  I'll keep the Active 2 for a few more months in hope, but the original Active is on its way to CEX to find a new home.   For interest, why is the battery life of these Samsung watches so dreadful....... 1-2 days ?? come on guys whats going on under the hood to drive such a huge battery drain? That is unbelievably bad. My Amazfit Verge Lite watch is currenty on day 38 since the last charge and still showing 42%!!  ... View more

Hi, I have older Active, not Active 2. My watch will record gps data during a manual activity and show a map in Health app. However the same doesn't so far seem to be true for automatically detected activities. I'm going through a range of activities in the coming days so I will report back if it changes. So to answer your question, your watch should record gps tracks, without having any additional apps, and display the route map in the Health app. So far it seems it's only for manually recorded activities, but it reads in the handbook as though it should be able to do it for auto detected activity too. One tip I regularly sync the watch with my phone and always have gps active on the phone at the same time because I believe it helps the watch to keep its gps data up to date so giving a faster location lock. Keep trying, it should work. ... View more

I too was a MFP user and found both with Fitbit and Samsung Health the connections were far too unreliable so now I've switched from MFP to Lifesum. The connections are rock solid steps and activity data from Samsung are in Lifesum and food/calories go across to Samsung no glitches it just works! Hope it helps. ... View more

Hi Steven,   I've just switched from Fitbit Alta HR and I'm very pleased so far. It is far more comfortable to wear both day and night. With location, HR, wifi and Bluetooth all turned off (except for Bluetooth sync once per day) battery life is around 4-5 days which is good enough for me, although still very poor compared to some! GPS works well but draws the battery down in a few hours so not really practical (I use my Amazfit Stratos for GPS logging and navigating). Sleep tracking is not so good as I keep getting gaps in the log for a night as if I'm awake, but I'm not too bothered. Also I can't get the weather app to work, but again I'm not too bothered. As a day to day step counter and activity tracker it is comfortable, light, easy to use, the apps work well and sync well with Lifesum so just what I need, and a big improvement on Fitbit. ...
