    Glad Bestbuy offers free setup and assistance with simple questions. Love Bestbuy for this very reason with most if not all of their products!

    Bought a Gear S2 classic about a month ago. Had been in the market for one for awhile but thought the price was too much. I saw an advertisement for refurbished item's and they had this one for half the price with full warranty. I decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did. No problems as of yet and enjoying the freedom of not having to check my phone for emails or phone calls. And the best part I didn't have to spend more then I wanted..just missing a speaker from being a 5 star.

    IT WAS A GREAT CAMERA, EXCEPT THE SCREEN IS VERY FRAGILE AND THE LENS COVER WAS VERY FRAGILE TOO, ONE OF THE SPRINGS POPPED UP THE FIRST TIME I USED IT.

    Not necessary, but gives peace of mind. If I had to make the choice again, I’m not sure if I’d buy it. Overall, I’d rate it an average, or 3-stars.

    I personally never ended up using geek squad but I am very tech savvy. I think it is a great thing to have if you aren't sure how to use your prouduct.

    This came as an extra (no charge) with my purchase of the Samsung Chromebook Plus. It wasn't offered to me until a day after my purchase. It would have so much more sense to offer at the time of purchase while still in the store. Do I need to drive back to the store to take advantage of this offer?? Quite frankly I don't think it's worth the drive or time.

    This was for a fitness band, and the personalized setup was an email with instructions :-) But the instructions were good.

    Rather than sitting down and helping me setup the watch, I was told by the geek squad rep that the setup is pretty straight forward (which I admit it is). What's the point of offering this service free for smart devices if that's the answer. I only wanted to see if there were any tricks or optimizations that could be setup on the watch.

    I purchased an Apple watch and I guess this service was included to assist with setup, which was nice but not needed.

    While I didn't need to take advantage of this service with the product I bought, it is a nice added bonus as a perk.

    I didn't actually use the Geek Squad support for this purchase. I didn't ding them on a rating due to this.
