The Samsung Gear 2 neo is a great addition to a smart phone. Besides being a fitness tracker it offers all of the benefits of a smart phone. You can receive all of your messages on it as well as make and receive phone calls all without having to take out you phone. It is very easy to set up and operate as well. Though the apps are limited there really are not many that I would want to add though perhaps a GPS-Golf tracker would be nice to use out on the golf course. This is a great product which I am using with my Samsung Galaxy 3 smart phone. Only wish it could be used with other android phones as well.

A fitness band and watch for 200 dollars. Boom.

Honestly, since I have to explain this to everyone who asks me if the watch is worth it, I thought I would jot it down here.
The Pros:
It is a great watch that serves as both a normal watch (yes! It does indeed tell time!) as well as a fitness band. The heart rate monitor is not too good, but that was expected. The step counting and sleep monitor work very well, especially after the latest update that automatically starts Blocking mode when you go into Sleep mode (this feature makes it so the watch does not turn on with movement and blocks notifications from apps). Finally, the notifications are awesome. It has saved me from dragging my phone out of my hipster jeans on many occasions.
The Cons:
There are not a ton of apps, however I am not sure if I would do anything other than use it how I do. Mostly I feel like more games would be cool, and maybe Spotify control would be sweet. They are releasing a version of the watch soon with the android operating system. I would have waited for that one since more people write apps for Android than Tizen at the moment.
Overall:
I know too many people who have dropped 100 dollars on a fitness band, as well as large amounts of money on a watch. Why not get a device that does both and looks good too. Just sayin.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. The band is slightly too small so he had to widen the last hole for it to fit comfortably but he won't go anywhere without it on. He uses it for work all the time. Answers and makes calls, views and responds to texts, even plays games on it. He dosent miss the camera function at all in fact he says he dosent k ow what he would've used it for really.

I am so electronically challenged and I can work this watch! I love to see how many steps I have walked every day and it makes me want to do more if I haven't reached my goal . I can change the face to match whatever color am wearing that day or even a pic from my gallery. Love the simple glance to see who is texting or emailing and I can text or voice control my reply. Love it and miss it all day if I forget to put it on. I got the Gear Neo Mocha Dec 14

The Perfect Gift

This was a Mother's day gift for my wife and it worked out perfectly. She is very into technology and this watch does so many things for her. I debated on this model vs non-touch screens and other brands but I was most impressed with this option. Battery life is good. It is sporty, stylish, and yet casual and can be worn with almost anything.

I can see text messages when my phone is in the house and I'm doing yard work. I wish I could respond via voice or text without the pre-populated options for text responses. I love the pedometer feature and the heart rate monitor. I wish the heart rate monitor would monitor at regular intervals throughout the day though. Overall, very satisfied.

I am so in love with this product. I use it to easily see my steps each day, talk on the phone while driving 'hands free', get notifications on emails and texts. What doesn't this thing do? I get compliments all the time, people want to know what it is and what it can do. I love that I can also change out the color of the face of the watch to match my outfits. So very unusual and useful.

I found this wearable to be an excellent addition to my Galaxy S4 phone. It is handy to answer calls, view messages, monitor heart rate. Enjoy the many different faces that can be shown on the watch. Fits comfortably and the battery life before recharge is good.

I love my Samsung Gear Neo! It's nice being able to see all my calls and notifications just by looking at my wrist. It is also great for tracking my steps, cycling, and sleep. And I love the color!

I bought it for my wife in order to make sure she may always pick up phone when I call her. It helps for that purpose. However, the size seems too big for a lady. So, she sometimes forgot wearing it.

Love it. Does everything I want it to do. Easy to set up even for a 70 year old, which I am. Need more apps and need a fix for gear fit app. Not sure if it is really accurate for steps calculations. Seems to be inaccurate. It is geared for running or walking, but i have had real good luck with it keeping tract of my cardio work outs and sculpt workouts.
Drawbacks are that it won't let u enter your info correctly, keeps resetting at incorrect weight and height etc for the gear fit app.
Love the fact that it will sinc my calendar and notifies me of things I set on my calendar like reminding me of things i need to do. Can answer my phone on it also. It can also be set for a TV remote. Absolutely wonderful. All in all I would recommend for anyone.

It's nice to have one of the newest products on the market and I still haven't used it to it's full potential! It complements my Galaxy S5 nicely and is a great conversation piece.
I charge my phone nightly so charging my watch every few days is not a huge deal.

I have had the watch for 3 months and it is a great value. It is a great extension of the phone and helps me to not have to take the phone out all the time. Pretty reliable and easy to use. Battery lasts for days. Definitely the watch to get if you have a Samsung phone.

I was coming from a Fit Bit Force to this. The Fit Bit was causing skin burns so I could no longer use it. This has been a good replacement, however, there were a couple of things I like better about the Force. It had a better app that was more helpful from a tracking standpoint. That being said, this Gear 2 is pretty fun. People actually stop to ask me about it. I wish it was a bit more robust in some areas, ei.. different apps, better tracking and syncing.
