Backstory: I have been a watch guy but had no interest in a smartwatch, and actually disliked the idea of them up until fairly recently. Unfortunately, I broke my daily wear (A Nite Marquess) fairly badly, and was crushed by the wait time to get it fixed. So, I decided to give a smartwatch a try for a few months and given I'm a big Samsung guy, the Active 2 was a no brianer to match my S10. I immediately liked it and after picking up a leather band and the silver ring bezel for some accent flair, I am absolutely in love with it. I don't think I could go back to my "dumb" watches for daily use anymore.

I got my Active one of these and I've really liked it so far. Had it since May and feels like it does a pretty good protecting from accidental brushes against a wall or whatnot.
It completely covers the buttons, so hopefully will help avoid what happened to OP (sorry OP, that sucks).

Doesn't detract from the look of the watch either (at least with my black version) -- honestly I think it makes the watch look better.

I found this by googling the brand name on the dock: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015MSKC48/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485800174&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ivapo&dpPl=1&dpID=41lMEopbYpL&ref=plSrch

Now you owe me, internet stranger.

So before this, I decided to hop into the "fitness/smart" watch scene... But since I didn't want to spend a ton, I waited until I could get a Versa for less than Retail, and actually ended up getting it for $130 Iirc at Kohl's maybe 10 Days after they first got them in.

The Versa was a GREAT intro into this world (in my opinion at least), but I knew I wanted to upgrade to something better. I'd been checking out stuff from Garmin for a while (after someone I know was talking about how much they love their new Fenix (5 Sapphire? I think. Something similar)), but the prices for the nicer options just weren't going to work out with all of the current and future medical co-pays and other bills that'll be coming in.

Ah, and I'm an Android user... So no Apple Watch... 🤷‍♂️

ANYWAYS - I saw an Ad for the Active2, and after a lot of research I was all in. Soon after I did pre-order for the 40mm (Non-LTE) Active2, plus that 10,000mAh Wireless Power Bank that came free with all pre-orders.

I fucking LOVE this thing.
I got a Rose Gold Magnetic Stainless Band for the Versa, and Gifted it to my Mother who I've been meeting up with to exercise 1-2x a week... And she loves it. She just wanted something easy, straight forward etc etc.

I bought a bunch of Bands on Amazon, knowing I'd return most... And chose one Leather Band (pictured) and one Black Magnetic Stainless Band that I really like. The rest will be taken to Kohl's next week.

I do have TWO QUESTIONS I'm hoping someone can help me out with...

1. One major reason I got this watch was to Monitor my HR... I have AFIB and really liked the idea of setting limits. I have them set, but all that's happened is that the heart on my watch-face turns red. No Vibration at all. I feel like I'm missing something right in front of my face... But can't find it. Is there even an option TO do this? They sure made it sound like it 🤷‍♂️
   
   
2. Does anybody have a suggestion for a BLACK ANALOG Watch Face that's Minimalistic, but actually shows my live HR reading. Shit, maybe even one you can change the color of the hands on or whatever...? I'm more than happy to pay for it if it's worth it.
   
   Thank you in advance for anybody who has recommendations! I really do appreciate any and all advice!
   
   SO happy to be part of this Samsung Watch family 👌😎

   Absolutely recommended both of them for the price...!
   I recommend the Koreda Band all day long at any price! The V-MORO Band's clasp does feel a bit cheap, but it looks quite nice on wrist.

These snap on easily with a tight and secure fit. Made of hard plastic material. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014H9WMHS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hgmXzbM785PE0

Great case, but it's bulky and has a raised lip/edge. It fits perfectly with cut outs that are small and exactly the right size. Made of a rigid, but flexible TPU material.

You might want to consider this band here. Overall, you should be fine, but I know my concern on being a little rough with the watch has gone away since I purchased this band.

Aside from the slight increase in weight, I've always found metal bands to be more comfortable cuz silicone/ rubber bands tend to stick on my wrist. I've tested this out with the default band and the galaxy active band and still think metal bands are better. However if you rest your hand on a desk for too long it might get a little uncomfortable. An alternative could be leather bands but those aren't waterproof.

Yes. Thats why I also got a Spigen Liquid air case. A bit late for me as I made a tiny nick in the aluminum, but it worked and looked good when I had it.

I got a silicone band from GadgetWraps and I'm happy with it. It's slightly harder to put on than the original leather but it's waterproof, much more durable, and I think looks as good if not better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D1XDFLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does that work?

I would imagine many options are 42mm only, as I would guess the market for people with 38mm that want a “tactical” band is fairly small.

For Milanese, I got this and this (obviously not both for my watch). I got this link band, my only complaint is it is a little heavy, but I have seen lighter ones I would consider. I got this leather one and love it. I wanted a learther band without the contrasting thread so this one was perfect. Like any leather band, it is definitely a bit deformed around where it buckles together, but you can only see it when not wearing it and it looks great the rest of the time. Next leather band I would probably look for a padded one though.

There's nothing official. I got a 3d printed one and it's perfect. It's actually easier to line up the charging pins on it than if it's flat on a table

This is the one I got.

Hey, came across this in Amazon and remembered you. From what I have seen Source1, Source2 Motorola 360 1gen should be okay for Pebble OG Steel. Worth a try?

I have the Space Grey version of that same bracelet on my SGS. It's my go-to band for when I need to look (or feel) more formal, and it's held up really well in the four months I've owned it.

NOTE: the above is not an affiliate link; just an straight AmazonSmile link to the bracelet.

I got the idea from these guys they were taking preorders on reddit. Now you can buy on Amazon. I bought one to support them

I’m going to recommend the Apple Watch.

I’m a truck driver and use mine pretty well consistently. Works amazing for everything you listed. I even use mine to track my sleep patterns and how well I sleep at night.

I typically charge it for a bit during the day. It stays up around 2 daysish. Depending on how much I use it


I recommend this band

Apple Watch Case, SUPCASE [Unicorn Beetle Pro] Rugged Protective Case with Strap Bands for Apple Watch / Watch Sport / Watch Edition 2015 [38 mm, Not Compatible with 42 mm] (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013H1V5IO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CZ2aBbQXTH797


I use a 38 because when I bought mine the store didn’t have any 42. But it’s a decent size.

This band protects the face fairly well. I do work with my watch on so I wanted it to have a bit of protection if something came in on it.

this looks like the band from V-MORO Leather Strap Compatible with Galaxy Watch Active 40mm Band/Galaxy Watch 42mm Bands Women Men with Black Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 40mm R500/Galaxy Watch 42mm R810 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZJ56QS

i have the black one myself. good.

That was actually my bad. I didn't mean a screen protector but rather one of these things which fits around the face and sides of the watch.

I have this Kades link bracelet and haven’t really used anything else since I bought it. Similar to your second option although without the recessed clasp.

As of writing this, I only really know of the official band and some of the 3rd party Milanese Loop ones that fit me. Though my official one fits me better, I really need to inch the Milanese Loop one up my hand to wear it.

Seems the struggle is real but the adapters previously mentioned do make it easier to use bands not normally made for the Apple Watch. If you're able to find some bands that work well with your wrist.

I'm slowly finding a collection of bands I can use and looking for something close to this band, because you can add more links to it.

I just got my S2 alum in yesterday and first thing I did when taking the plastic or w.e off was put a screen protector on. Figure if the alum version is more durable body wise, might as well get a screen protector to get the screen nice and durable.
I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NG09HHS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it's not super noticeable, theres like 1 spot left that looks like mini bubbles or something but that's supposed to go away over a day or so (plus theres 5 more to use if it happens I just messed this one up)

Like you said the saphire screen on the SS will be dimmer than the ionx glass of the AWS. In your case I'd recommend getting the AWS and get a screen protector like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NG09HHS/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
The reason being that if you go naked with either watch and you'll be around sand which is high on the ohm scale, it has the potential to scratch both the sapphire and ionx glass. No matter which casing you get it will likely scratch be it aluminum or steel. Since you'll be subjecting the watch to harsh conditions and there's a chance of damaging the ss and aws I don't recommend spending the extra couple hundred for the ss. Also the aws will be slightly more visible in sunlight and it is lighter on the wrist. Rather get the aws and a screen protector.

Thanks! This is a different color but same concept of mine http://amzn.to/2jVIlbB keep in mind you will need your own charger and watch charger.

Thank you! Yes it is, I got this one from Amazon


They come in a whole set, but I just use the black one. I'm constantly bumping my hands into things and wanted to protect my watch. It's done a great job, I have broken one and reordered to get another black one.

I use this adapter

Cool. Thanks for the info.
Thinking about your claim, there's a bezel from Ringke that can cover the remaining unprotected area... think about. Good luck.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PVQVIZO?vs=1 I have the same band on my Moto, should be fine for most smartwatches. It's swagtastic!

This is the one I used, and I am using the Spigen Rugged Armor Case. Love it. No worries of damage or scratching. Watch is fully encased.

Apple Watch Band, Stainless Steel Kades Link Bracelet Strap Butterfly Closure iWatch Accessory Replacement For Apple Watch (1st Generation, 42mm Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019IO4TTG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ftrDxb2ZEWZX6

I can speak about my experience with my Space Black 42mm watch, but I’d imagine this to be similar for you. I wanted the look of the Apple bracelet with horizontal links. I tried the KADES one from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/KADES-Stainless-Bracelet-Compatible-Butterfly/dp/B019IO4TTG ) and had issues with one of the non-detachable links detaching. I tried an EOSO bracelet ( http://www.eoso.org/apple-watch-band-c-109/ ) and it was better, but surprisingly inflexible.

I bout an Apple bracelet, and the quality difference was night and day. Not only was it way better than the knockoffs, but it’s definitely my favorite watch bracelet ever, after having worn several Seikos, and a few Omegas and other nicer watches.

Here’s the trick: if you’re willing to be a bit patient, you can find open box and/or scratch-and-dent bracelets from China on eBay for about $150. I bought a space black one with a tiny scratch on one lug for about that price, and I’m glad I did. Many of the higher quality knockoffs or third party options are in the $50-80 range anyway, so it’s not that much of a stretch to get up to a price where an OEM bracelet makes sense.

I have some other OEM and knockoff bands, and with the sport loops I can’t really tell a difference. But the Apple bracelet is absolutely a big step up from any third party bracelet.

I got it from Amazon

Ack. So I hardly ever post and it seems I lied. The strap wasn't Moko. I have the link below. It was a 2fer and came with a nice stainless bracelet as well:

It's this one:

It's for the original GWA, but the 40mm GWA2 is identical. They don't have a 44mm version though (yet)

It looks a lot like this Moto 360 band from Amazon's site:

If you decide to get one again you could try the IQShield like someone else posted. I've found it can contour to the screen's slightly curved sides which is nice. I'm pretty happy with it for daily use and scuffs. But it probably won't provide much protection against a hard direct hit to the screen.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7S9SMS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MFQVCb9ZAAAAK

I also just ordered this TPU case hoping to protect the watch from dings without adding too much bulk.

The strap is a leather one I bought in a local marketplace here in Indonesia.

I got the 38mm LTE series 3 in silver aluminum with applecare. I put a screen protector and case on regardless of which model because they all scratch. If you’re concerned about shattering from impact or bumps then definitely go with the aluminum and save some cash.

Although you may want a more protective case. These snap on and can come off with enough of a bump.

I'm a nurse and want to wear mine at work. I just got my Apple Watch Sport and I'm worried about scratching it by bumping it on someone's bed rail or something, so I ordered a screen protector from Amazon and also some bumpers for the face to change up the color and add some protection from scuffs. I also got apple care. I may be being too cautious, but I rarely spend $350 on an accessory so you're damn right I'm gonna baby it!

Edit: This is the screen protector I ordered. I haven't received it yet but it offers edge to edge protection and seemed to have mostly positive reviews.

These are the bumpers I got. I thought they'd add a little extra protection and plus it'll be fun to switch up the colors and match them with different bands.

I have an aftermarket metal band, so I'm not sure how the one from Huawei latches (I'm guessing it stays in one connected piece though), so you're probably having a tough time getting it to mount the charger while balancing on the band?

Would something like this help?

I don't have it, so I can't vouch for the quality. I've been considering buying it or building something similar.

Question is which one. After having a look at Amazon, I'm kind of liking the blue one (Ringke Bezel Styling for Galaxy Watch 46mm / Gear S3 Frontier & Classic, Bezel Ring Case Adhesive Cover Anti Scratch Protection for Galaxy Watch Accessory [Aluminium] GW-46-08 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07LGSTFRP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bpGXCbFAWAMWF)

I'd go with this one. TRUMiRR across the board has good reviews. I wouldn't think twice about it, order this one.

It depends on what style you like.

This one: https://www.amazon.com/MIFA-Adapters-Connectorwith-Pentalobe-Screwdriver/dp/B01BUWKEY8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1485925202&sr=8-4&keywords=apple+watch+band+adapter

and this one: https://www.clockworksynergy.com/shop/accessories/apple-watch-adapters/pvd-black-adapters-apple-watch/

Are good. I'd probably go with the first one if the band is smaller than the adapter. It'll probably look cleaner
