Samsung Galaxy Sentinel Agile Review
Samsung Milky way Watch Review

We've compared the two smartwatches to answer these important questions and aid you decide which smartwatch is for you.

Blueprint

This is where the biggest differences between the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Lookout Active lie.

The Samsung Milky way Picket has a pretty traditional pattern. Information technology comes in ii sizes, 42mm or 46mm, and three colours, Rose Gold, Midnight Black and Silver.

The smallest model is still pretty chunky, measuring 41.ix ten 45.7 x 12.7mm and weighting 49g.

It has either a 1.three-inch or ane.2-inch 360 x 360 circular Super AMOLED screen with a useful rotating bezel around the outside of it.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active looks a piffling more modern, with a sleeker, rounded design. We much prefer information technology.

At that place's one size. Information technology measures 39.5 x 39.5 x 10.5mmm and weights just 25g. It's much more than suited to smaller wrists, simply still perfectly suited to larger wrists also.

The Agile is a lot more comfortable to clothing than the Galaxy Watch. It's rounded corners and low-cal weight means you can pretty much put it on a forget you're wearing it.

The Samsung Galaxy Sentinel Active features a 1.ane-inch 360 x 360 AMOLED display

The interesting change hither is there's no rotating bezel. That allows for a smaller overall pattern than the Galaxy Spotter, just will brand information technology more fiddly to interact with.

Hardware

Inside, the watches are pretty much identical. Both have a 1.15GHz dual-core Exynos 9110 chipset and 768MB of RAM.

The Active differs from the Galaxy Sentinel when it comes to bombardment life, with a pocket-size
230mAh bombardment. Nosotros're guessing you'll need to charge it every day.

In comparing, the 46mm Milky way Sentinel has a 472mAh bombardment which lasts around four days, while the 42mm Galaxy Watch has a 270mAh battery which would terminal effectually two days.

Both the Galaxy Picket Agile and Galaxy Watch offer GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Galaxy Picket does too offering a 4G model, which allows you to use your watch to receive calls, messages, and information away from your smartphone.

Fettle features

Both of the smartwatches are essentially running the same software, so while the standard Galaxy Picket isn't as focused on fettle equally the Milky way Watch Active, information technology isn't defective in this area.

Both have a heart rate monitor, GPS, an altimeter, a barometer, and they're waterproof.

Both tin track 39 different exercises, with six of them auto-tracked, and tin also track your sleep, mensurate your stress and vibrate on your wrist to remind you to move more than.

The Active goes i pace farther than the Galaxy Watch with a blood pressure monitoring feature.

Of course, it's also lighter and more comfortable, which is important when exercising.

Other features

The smartwatches also have a like feature set, every bit they're both running Tizen four.0.

Both allow y'all to brand contactless payments with Samsung Pay, and both have Samsung's AI assistant Bixby baked in.

The Picket Active has a slightly dissimilar look, every bit it's a more recent version of the software but Samsung may decide to bring this to its existing watch in the near future.

Price

The Galaxy Watch Agile is price at £229 / $199.99 and will be available on 20th March.

That's cheaper than the Galaxy Watch when it offset launched, which was priced from £279.

These are the all-time prices on the Samsung Galaxy Picket at present:

Verdict

We've but spent a short amount of time with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Agile (opens in new tab) but nosotros already like it, a lot.

There are, of class, questions over bombardment life, only assuming information technology's not terrible, we'd whole heartedly choose the Agile over the regular Galaxy Watch.

It's cheaper (although the build quality is rock solid), more comfortable, meliorate looking, and can practise more things.

Although, if you don't mind the extra heft, and battery life is your key priority, then the Samsung Milky way Watch (opens in new tab) is the smartwatch to opt for.
