The Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE Aluminum, on the other hand, is positioned to compete with the Apple Watch; the Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE Aluminum supports phone-free Internet connectivity, making calls and sending messages from the wrist, and send messages from your wrist It comes in three similar colors, aqua black, cloud silver, and pink gold, and is priced at $295 for the 40mm version and $325 for the 44mm version

Samsung told The Korea Herald that the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Golf Edition model will eventually be introduced in the US and UK, while the Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE Aluminum model will be introduced in Europe and some Asian countries

It is unclear whether the standard Galaxy Watch will arrive in these countries before receiving its successor, which may be announced at Samsung's upcoming Note event
