Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition Now Available

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition
 Samsung & Under Armour

The smartwatch continues to occupy a very special place in the world of smart wearables, where it has yet to become an 'essential' device but is also able to be an able companion to the modern day road warrior or fitness enthusiast. With a number of notable players in the market where smartwatches are concerned, South Korean conglomerate Samsung has revealed the availability of its Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition. 

Yes, this is not the vanilla version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, as it was developed in conjunction with Under Armour to come up with this particular edition. Best Buy is the retailer offering the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition, with the 40mm model being made available to the masses at the starting price of $309

If you feel that your finances are going to be stretched by forking out more than three Benjamins at one go, there is always the 6-month financing plan that amounts to a monthly payment of $51.67. Those who prefer the larger variant with a 44mm dial (because of fashion or simply due to a larger wrist size) will have to fork out slightly more with a starting price point of $329, or $55 per month for the 6-month financing plan.

What differences are there between the regular Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition? Underneath the hood, the internal hardware specifications are virtually identical with one another. However, the exterior is where you will be able to tell the difference at a glance compared to the standard model. For starters, there is an Under Armour-themed watch face as well as a unique silicon strap that bears the company logo. A gray strap will adorn the 40mm model whereas the 44mm model will arrive in a shade of black.

Another difference between the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition and the standard model that is far more important than just external aesthetics would be the software and compatibility with different kinds of Under Armour products. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition happens to be the only Samsung smartwatch to date that is capable of delivering up-to-the-minute stats and real-time form coaching when connected to the Under Armour HOVR Connected running shoes.

Apart from that, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition will ship with MapMyRun that is accompanied by six months of membership. According to Best Buy, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition would have begun to ship to customers already. 

It looks like those who are willing to purchase the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Edition would do so as an accessory to their Under Armour HOVR Connected running shoes, or it could be a precursor to picking up that special pair of footwear. Either way, this looks more and more like a device meant for fitness enthusiasts that for your regular Joe. 

Such tie ins help make it easier for users to co-ordinate their exercise apparel at the very least.
