Free is always good

Bought a refurbished wareable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

GOOD CAMERA, FOR A BEGINNER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Haven't used it yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not useful on devices such as Smartwatch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Service not needed
