Whenever we’re reviewing toys or gadgets, we like to explore several aspects of the product. These include the quality, price, the brand and looking at reviews from customers.
So let’s get straight to it by looking at the quality of Samsung Watch Active.
Quality
Quality, as you’d imagine is one of the most important considerations for buying any products. This is especially true for Smart watches.
Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it.
The first factor that you can look at is the brand. Often we can get a really good understanding of the quality of toys and other gadgets by just looking at the brand. There are some brands that are really well known for great quality, whilst others might be better known for value.(and some are known to be poor in both areas).
So take your time to think about the sort of brands you’d be happy to buy when buying Smart watches.
Next up is the material. Take a look at what Samsung Watch Active is made from. Often you can spot the quality of the product based on the materials used to make it, with some obvious signs of a cheaper product with certain types of material. With some toys this will be more important than others. So you’ll already have a good idea of whether the material is actually a big deal or not when buying Smart watches.
Then we’re on to features. Again this will vary in importance depending on the type of toy you’re buying. You’ll no doubt have a view on whether you care about features or not for Smart watches.
The point here though is that you can get a good idea of the quality of a product by the number and type of features that are available on the product. So take the time to look at the features listed for Samsung Watch Active and it will help guide you on the quality.
Pricing. We’ll go into detail on the price of Samsung Watch Active in a moment but it’s worth covering in the quality chapter here too.
The price of a product is another really good indicator of the quality because, as you’ll already know, you often get what you pay for. In the pricing section shortly you’ll see how the price of Samsung Watch Active compares to all of the other Smart watches available from our recommended retailer, Argos.
If the price appears to be significantly lower than you’d expect for the sort of product you’re buying, then you’d be wise to start looking in a bit more detail at other indicators of the quality.
So let’s dive into a bit more specific detail on Samsung Watch Active, starting with the price.
Pricing of Samsung Watch Active
As with any purchase, the price of Smart watches is the top of the list of considerations for consumers.
With that in mind, we wanted to really explore and analyse the price of Samsung Watch Active to see how cheap you can get it, but also see how it compares to other products. To do this we looked all the products available in the “Smart watches” category, as well as looking at the products available from the brand Samsung.
The first thing we should say before we get really into the detail on the price, is to get you to think about a budget. Budgeting is a really key part of the buying process, as without a budget you might end up blowing a lot more money than you had planned to. So take a look at your finances and get a bit of an idea of how much you are willing to spend before you take too much time shopping around.
Price
So the first step is to look at the price of Samsung Watch Active. Here we run a search to find the price of products that we review. If it’s a product offered by lots of retailers then we get you the best price. If it’s only offered by one retailer then we find you the latest price.

Based on that price, when we compare it to the other options available, we’ve given it a price score of 8.6 out of 10.

Next we looked at how much the price of products can vary. The product that costs the most, that we found, was £749.00 and the lowest was £13.49.
After that, we worked out how many products were more expensive or cheaper. From the 49 products, 14 cost more and 34 cost less than Samsung Watch Active.

After that we again looked to see how much the prices can vary for Samsung Smart watches. The highest cost was £459.00, whilst the cheapest was £199.00.
Reviews
It’s why you’re here of course. Or at least it’s how you found this page. Reviews. These are the most important consideration before you commit to make a purchase online. As with any toys, gadgets or games you’d want to try before you buy, but it’s not that simple when buying online (and actually with many retailers in-store too).
But reviews can really help to replace the fact that you can see the product first. Especially if you are lucky enough to get the reviews that really go into detail on the product, features, benefits and durability after the reviewer has used the product over an extended period.
The other thing we love about customer reviews, is that they have no hidden agenda. They’re not getting paid to write the review, so for the most part, they’re unbiased and just giving genuine useful feedback.
For our review we’ve scored Samsung Watch Active 9.8 out of 10. We take a number of criteria into account here including what customers have to say about the product, the features, quality and price.
As you’d imagine, reviews are extremely important to you and other future buyers. It can help you to decide whether you go with Samsung Watch Active or to start looking at other Smart watches like Samsung Galaxy 42mm Smart Watch reviews or Samsung Galaxy 46mm Smart Watch reviews. Or there are even other products that you could consider, or at least spend some time reading the reviews of, such as Samsung Galaxy Cellular 42mm Smart Watch reviews. Or if you’d be interested in something different again then perhaps Samsung Galaxy Cellular 46mm Smart Watch reviews or Samsung Galaxy Watch3 41mm Bluetooth Smart Watch reviews.
Whatever you do end up choosing, we’d love to hear your views. If you do go on to buy any of the Smart watches that we review, please leave a comment with your thoughts at the bottom of this page. You never know, your helpful review might just help another customer just like you to find their perfect item.
Brand
As we mentioned earlier, the brand you choose is quite a personal thing. We each have our own views on which brands are best suited for our needs and that goes for anything we’re buying. Even toys, gadgets, games and Smart watches.
Our suggestion here is that you spend a bit of time looking around to see the sort of brands that are offering Smart watches and if you know you have a preference on which brand you’d buy then write yourself a list of top brands. Once you have complied your list of brands you can use this as a great way of filtering or narrowing down your search, great then there are 49 options in the Smart watches category.
Some brands are better known for delivering great quality, and as you’re on our Samsung Watch Active review you’re probably already well aware of how good quality Samsung Smart watches are.

You can’t beat a video review. As we mentioned earlier, one of the downsides to buying online is the inability to actually see and test the product. This is where videos can really help to bridge the gap and give you an almost just as good alternative.

General Advice
We also thought it would be really useful to give you some top tips to help you when shopping online. Rest assured that shopping online is safer now than ever before, with the advanced security features we now benefit from when buying online.
That said, these top tips will help you along the way.
Firstly, always make sure you’re clued up on online shopping. If you’re fairly new to it then we’d suggest you take a bit of time reading advice from trusted websites like Wikipedia or Money Advice Service.
Buy from trusted comapanies – it sounds obvious but don’t get suckered into a deal that looks too good to be true and buy from an unheard of retailer. Only buy from brands that you’re familiar with, especially if it’s expensive goods. There are of course many amazing independent retailers out there that offer fantastic service, so if you choose to use a retailer that you haven’t heard of, do some due-diligence to check them out first. There are great sites to check a company’s reputation like TrustPilot.
Look at the payment options available where possible it’s better to use a payment option that can offer you added peace of mind and protection. Often where it’s available we would choose to use Paypal. Credit and debit card are the most popular options, so just check that your browser shows the little padlock next to the website address, as this indicates that you’re on a secure connection with the website.
