gear s2
I.'m really liking the watch. I like all the capabilities available at my wrist. I get my notifications from emails, texts, phone calls, fitness, and even sports and news. There are many watch faces available and can even switch up the wristbands which I haven't yet but will soon. It's a great watch. I just wish sprint sold the 3g version.

Great Potential, perfect size
I've had the gear s2 for about a month now and came from a Moto 360 1st Gen, which was my first smartwatch. Personally, I like the gear much better. The ui is great and fun to navigate with the rotating dial. The size is great as the moto 360 was too big for me. My wrists are not too big though so some may prefer the larger screen on the Moto. However, screen quality wise, the gear s2 blows the Moto 1st Gen out of the water with much higher pixel density and better black levels. Some of the watch faces look fantastic on this thing. Some may find the list of apps a little limiting compared to Android Wear or an iWatch, but for me it does everything I used it for on my Wear watch, and in some cases more. I can control my music, reply to and delete emails and texts and even hail an uber with it. Battery life, great enough? This watch can easily get a day even with ambiant mode on (Watch face shows black and white watch face as compared to nothing when not using it). Even two full days is not out of reach, plus it charges so quick that you can throw it on the charger for a half hour and easily get many more hours out of it. Before my Moto 360, I never really wore a watch. Once I got the Moto, went to wearing it about 2-3 days a week. Since the day I've gotten the Gear s2, I've worn it everyday.

Watch is great. The straps are awfully designed.
The watch is great. I love the rotating bezel and wouldn't choose another watch because of it. It's a really simple watch to use, and it does all the basic functions. I don't need it for games or anything. The vibration on my wrist is more than enough to get my attention. The only two problems I've had within a month of owning this watch is that the rubber lining underneath the bezel started to come out. I would rotate the bezel, and sometimes it would be extremely hard to rotate. As I keep rotating it, a small thin black piece of rubber would come out. Happened a couple times within the first few weeks. The other problem is that the plastic part of the strap that's attached to the connector (the portion of the strap that connects onto the watch body) is terribly designed. I haven't submerged the watch in water or used it roughly. I put it on in the morning and take it off at night. For both sides, the strap rubber has come off the connecting portion. The picture with both the watch and the strap: The metal portion in the strap is the connection part. On the watch, it came off the strap and is now stuck on my watch and won't come off. The second picture shows the watch body without the connection part.

Almost perfect
I use this watch everywhere: sleep, workout, work, shower, everyday use Pros: Batter life, turning bezel, size Con: Watch bands break and if you fix it'll never be the same. Trust me just go with the classic. Replacement bands for the S2 is just way too expensive. about 50$....that's about 25% of what the product cost....

I Love My Gear S2!
Love, love, love my gear. I enjoy wearing a watch again and not always having to look for my phone for the time. Im glad I was able to get rid of my fitbit as the gear counts my steps more accurately, I can add my water and coffee intake and after an hour or so it even reminds me to get up and get moving. When working out I listen to my music directly fron my watch into my bluetooth headset and I dont have to bring my phoe with me. There is only one downfall and its not the watch, its the white band. It looks so crisp and clean but it gets dirty really quickly. I read that you can clean it with a magic eraser so I am going try that. But in the meantime I just purchased a cheap replacement black band and have no issues.
