What is the MOST CURRENT information on the delayed ecg feature on the Active 2? Has there yet been a release date?
With the pandemic and all It's not really that surprising that they delayed it. But hopefully it will come soon.
I have the Apple Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Active 2 (long-story), but I would say it's super disappointing when the market is expecting one thing and another is delivered....the only reason I bought the active 2 was for this feature as I have a history of paradoxical a-fib.
I chose this over Apple because of ECG. A new model might come out before this feature will be released.
The main reason I purchased the Galaxy Active 2 was that it would detect irregular heartbeats. Horrible, Just Horrible! Samsung should be ashamed that they advertised this feature to protect our health and couldn't deliver. I want my money back.
Getting the pulse rate and SpO2 is hit and miss especially in blacks. This feature is a long way from achieving the level of accuracy required for its approval by the authorities.
I bought this Watch for this feature, I had just bought a Samsung S8 phone and so thought it appropriate to buy this watch as I have a new heart condition I wanted to monitor, Well, 3 days ago the phone nied and Samsung slicked out of any warranty, a Week ago they told me this update was not immediately forthcoming, they Blamed the FDA, I see that is also a lie, it seems now I must buy both a new phone and a new Watch, Hmmmm Maybe Apple...
Plz dont buy smartwatches

McArra, 27 Mar 2020Only bought this watch to have this feature, the rest of it for me is not good at all. I prefe... moreI love it, I came from Huawei Watch 2 and the GWA2 is much better in my opinion.
Faster and more responsive, plus a lot better display.
The strap held up with no issues so far when the Huawei one started to struggle in a few months and broke in less than year.
Withings ECG watches are the only ones you should be buying for actually health and style, clinical proven

Only bought this watch to have this feature, the rest of it for me is not good at all. I prefer the Watch GT by a long way, seeing this it might be time to sell the Active 2, some of the worst pieces of hardware I've bought.
Wow.. if it ever comes it would be a near miracle.
Glad I got the original galaxy watch active... simple, cheaper and has the same functionality since a software update brought the rotating bezel.
