Compared to the ordinary Galaxy Watch Active2, the golf editions have gone through quite the transformation. The two colour schemes that we see are the grey with green highlights and the white with pink highlights. When it comes to the Galaxy Watch Golf Edition, the smartwatch was in the standard Silver colour.
Another difference that sets the Golf Edition from the original smartwatch is the price. The Galaxy Watch Active2 (44mm) is £259 whereas the Golf Edition raises the bar to £339. As of now, the 40mm version is not in stock yet but should arrive soon to start selling.
