    Easy to use, set up. I really like the style. Seems to be a sturdy watch. Larger face~easier to see/read. Great buy and it was on sale so it ended up being cheaper than the S2 so bonus!

    Yep' I love gadgets. I'd had the galaxy gear fit prior to this purchase and had gotten used to notifications on my wrist. So much so that I'm not sure I could wear anything that didn't give them! So fun to change the bands and watch faces. So far, has worked flawlessly. I have moderate use throughout the day, and still have 70% battery life when I pull it off after work. Many friends and even strangers have asked me about it and I have certainly recommended it.

    I have been waiting for a smart watch that met all my needs. This one gets there. It also has great styling and is smaller than other options. The rotating bevel is also a great addition.

    I purchased my Gear 2 Samsung watch to help me better monitor my health. I use it for tracking my activities, miles walked/run/bicycle. It is not only a wonderful tool for those things, but also extremely stylish and handy for use in conjunction with my Samsung phone. It has several features that I am just learning to enjoy. Worth the money spent!

    Great Watch; just Smart enough for me

    I went back and forth on what smart watch/activity tracker I wanted to upgrade to. I've had a FitBit Charge HR for a year and love it. But the text is hard to read sometimes and I wanted more functionality. So when I saw the Samsung Gear S2 back in Nov/Dec; I was, man I want that. But I gave it some time. I was between the S2, the new FitBit Blaze and the Motorola Moto 360 Sport. But it came down to the S2 and the Blaze. The reviews I read the Blaze just turned out to be a newer, slicker, bigger version the charge HR. But I wanted a little more smart. The S2 has just enough. Love the notifications, rotating bezel, clear display. One other thing I liked about the S2 verses the Moto 360; I can get different bands for the S2. Right now I have only a few gripes with the Samsung S2; it doesn't have one to one integration with My Fitness Pal. Which was a feature of my FitBit Charge HR that I loved. The HR sensor doesn't track constantly; or I just haven't found the correct setting. And the HR monitor doesn't work all the time when my wrist gets sweaty. Im working on finding if there is a sweet spot on my wrist for the HR monitor. But overall I really like it. Highly recommended.

    Very good buy and most of the reviews which I read are accurate. Right size for a person with a smaller wrist, easy to setup, fits well and good look. Comes with a block strap, however the platinum model suits well with a stainless steep strap which I recommend you buy externally for the eligent final elegant look of the watch. Battery life is decent & I charge it everyday after work. Max it stands for 2 days.

    Wish the rose gold could take the SIM card. Disappointed that this watch doesn't have the same features or more as the first gear. Not worth the price without those features.

    So I have had this watch for about six months now and so far I love it! The rotating bezel was a great idea and makes it super easy to navigate the interface without covering up the screen. The watch itself is extremely comfortable and feels like a regular watch, the screen is a nice size but overall the watch is pretty slim. Battery life is excellent. I can usually easily make it two days before I have to recharge. The watch seems pretty water resistant. I have worn it out in heavy rain a couple of times and have washed my hands with it on and the watch still works great. The watch also seems quite tough. I have dropped it on tile bathroom tile floor twice and the watch still looks like it did the day I got it. When I first got it there wasn't a whole lot of apps in the app store but now the app store seems quite big and is continuing to grow. There are even a couple of great games for the watch such as chess or tetris. The touch screen on this thing is amazing and is super sensitive. It's easy to hit the buttons that you want even when those buttons are small. I would highly recommend this watch to anybody.

    This is my second gear watch and like the round design but wish it was a little larger. I am guessing because it is for both women and men the size landed in the middle.

    I had a hard time choosing between the regular classic and the classic platinum. I could've saved a $100 going with the regular but knew I would've regretted my decision down the road due to the lack of POP factor. The platinum is just stunning and matches any watch band seamlessly unlike the regular classic.

    My wife had the Samsung Gear S watch but wanted a smaller watch and really wanted wireless charging. So we traded her Gear S in towards the Gear S2 and she loves it. Samsung has improved a lot with the new watch. If you want one I highly recommend visiting your local Best Buy and checking them out and ask the Samsung reps any questions you may have.

    I really love this smartwatch. I have not own any other smartwatch, so I do not know the differences between the others and this one. Its looks like a watch and this is why I bought this one. It so new right now that there is not much apps and other things that I would like, but that does not stop me from loving this watch. I know that things will come later as more people are buying this There have not been any glitches or problems with it. Overall great smartwatch and worth the buy.

    I have a note 2, and was on the fence about buying this(specs say 4.4 required). Luckily it installed and worked wonderful with my phone. I can now count my steps, have weather info and check heart rate when I want to. I am trying to get into better shape this year, and the logging of distance per day should help me. I'm sure more apps are on the way to do more in the future. It is very expensive tho!

    I bought this watch for my Christmas present. Have only worn it for a little over a week. I am an older woman and thought the watch would be a bit large for me. But, it is just right. It is fun and stylish. I like changing the face to match my clothes. I like reading my email on the watch when I am busy with something else. I don't have to pull my phone out and login to see my messages. When in the car, I ask my watch to play music. It will go to Samsung Milk and play what I have set up...via Bluetooth. I am sure I have only hit the service of the possibilities, but I love what I can do for now.

    This watch is perfect. I can view and reply to texts, view picture texts even, and screen emails to make sure I'm not missing the important ones! I am a real estate agent, so the latter is of utmost importance to me! The battery life is outstanding! The watch is beautiful, very stylish, and super easy to operate! I also recently purchased the ceramic watch band for it... OMG, IT'S AMAZING!!
