Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition provides real-time form and fitness coaching to users to help them get the most out of their runs.

Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition encourages users to set personalized goals such as pace, distance and duration, and will provide audio cues and haptic feedback throughout their run. With real-time coaching based on data collected from the watch, the wearer will receive comprehensive feedback that helps them adjust their form. Post-workout, users will receive in-depth form analysis and detailed coaching tips on their smartphone, offering an in-depth perspective on running technique that no other product provides.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition includes six months of free MapMyRun Premium Membership[2]<\/a>, giving consumers access to training plans that push them to get more out of every workout. During workouts, the unique Under Armour watch display will feature key data such as heart rate, pace, and form so users can view real-time stats and see how their progress compares to their plans. When paired with Galaxy Buds, users can immerse themselves in their run with audio coaching cues at certain intervals throughout their workout giving them an extra push towards their goals. By connecting to their smartphones, users will be able to see more detailed workout reports with added insights following their run.<\/p>\n

Exclusively on Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition, pairing the smartwatch with the UA HOVR Connected running shoes[3]<\/sup><\/a> offers users up-to-the-minute stats on stride length and real-time form coaching. By providing detailed data and concrete tips for improvement, your shoes and your watch turn every run into a personal training session. You\u2019ll learn more, improve your technique, and reach your goals faster\u2014just as if you were running alongside a real coach.<\/p>\n

The purposefully designed Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition comes in a lightweight, sporty, aluminium body, with an exclusively developed watch face and two size options\u2014the 44mm with Black strap and the 40mm with Mod gray strap. Both straps are made with Fluoroelastomer(FKM) material with a breathable design, ensuring a comfortable fit that will optimize performance.<\/p>\n
