The fact of the matter is that the original Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Watch 3, and the Galaxy Watch Active 2Â have something unique to offer, which is probably why you can still find the original Galaxy Watch on sale today, even though it's been succeeded by a newer model. In other words, as long as you know what to expect from these smartwatches, you can't really go wrong with either of them. So let us take a quick look at what makes them unique and the reasons why you might want to pick one smartwatch model over the other this holiday shopping season.
Even though it was released more than two years ago, the original Galaxy Watch still offers a few advantages over the newer model:
The Galaxy Watch 3 is the newest Samsung smartwatch on the market. It was unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2020 along with the Galaxy Note 20 series and it's the only other Galaxy smartwatch aside from the OG Watch to feature a physical rotating bezel. Here's why you may want to buy the Galaxy Watch 3 this holiday season:
The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is the last but not least smartwatch on this list. It's part of its own Active series and therefore it stands apart from the other two models. Nevertheless, it offers its own benefits and unique characteristics. Here's why you may want to pick it over the other two non-Active models:
Unique features aside, a smartwatch is inevitably a fashion item as much as it is a communication and fitness tracking tool, so if you're planning on buying a smartwatch based on the design alone then you've probably already made up your mind on which one to get.
And if you're more interested in the fine details of the internal hardware rather than the other features then you might be surprised to learn that all three smartwatch models share many hardware components, even though they were released over the span of two years.
