Software update enables key Galaxy Watch Active 2 feature by default
Samsung was rather slow to commercially release its newest answer to the industry-leading Apple Watch after announcing the Galaxy Watch Active 2 almost two whole months ago, but very quick to roll out a software update now that the wearable device is finally available stateside.
For some reason, though, the touch bezel initially came disabled out of the box, requiring you to manually activate the feature on your handset’s Galaxy Wearable app. That felt wholly unnecessary, but after you install this first software update, the touch bezel setting will be turned on by default. If you don’t want to be able to switch between apps by “turning” the digital bezel both in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, you can still switch off the feature but the assumption now is that more people will find this useful than not.
The GPS functionality on board of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is also getting not one but two improvements, centered on overall performance and reliability.
