    The watch was mostly bought because the person to whom it was gifted wanted to talk on her phone from the watch, but when we went to set it up, we found that the BestBuy version doesn't provide that function. The person wasn't around for Christmas, and by the time they got the gift and we figure out it didn't have the main function, BestBuy said it was too late to return. What wonderful customer service. An expensive gift wasn't what it was supposed to be. Gee thanks BB!

    I love my new S2 smart watch classic. It works great and is very accurate. My only regret is that it is not the one that can make and receive calls as a speaker phone. That is why I rated it only 3 stars.

    I have the older gear neo. I can answer calls on my watch without fishing my phone out of my bag, I can also easily read and respond to emails and texts on the neo...can't do those things with the gear s2. Hello, I want to be able to use the watch as more than a glorified step counter. Disappointing! Oh I can answer the call on my watch but have to grab my phone...I guess you can by the stand alone SIM card version if you can find it but no, it's not worth the money or monthly expense. Terrible disappointment. It's pretty and comfortable, but useless. A fitbit can do this.

    Really wanted to keep this but couldn't justify the cost and it's just too large on a small arm. Beautiful watch but would like to see some ladies sizing.

    I fell in love with it and then it froze up on me, would not reboot either. I had to return the watch. I loved everything about it but didn't want to gamble with 400 dollars on whether it would last or not.

    I like the features of the watch. You can send text if it's connected to your phone. You switch the face of the watch. Not a big fan of most of the apps. The news apps only show you a small snippet of the article. Nice watch, but I had a problem with it repeatedly turning off, and then not wanting to turn back on. I returned the watch and got the regular s2 with the white elastomer band. Pretty much the same features, without the added problem.

    Cool watch. A little small for my fingers. Spent time out of town, and let battery die. It would not turn back on. Had to send it to samsung for repair. Have not got it back yet. :(

    No way on this version to phone chat

    Very disappointed with this version. Have the previous version that allowed you to answer the phone and speak to and hear the caller like every other blue tooth device for a cell phone. Thus when the S2 Classic came out and looked better than my gear neo, I just bought it as I figured it should have all the old features and new ones... NOPE. You can answer the phone but to talk or hear what the person is saying, you have to go and find your actual phone. Thus one of the best features removed from a version that costs hundreds more!

    Excellent quality and style. Band is high quality leather,not some cheap plastic band. looks and feels like a watch not a chunk of gear strapped to your wrist. Unlimited faces on Mr.Time Maker. Battery life is beyond expectation. 5 stars if it was compatible with samsung tablet and facebook app. this was a real disappointment. Hoping for more apps.

    I think this is a great watch! It does all most everything I need. It would be even better if it was 3g/4g capable. That would allow more freedom to be able to leave my phone behind.

    The 2 main reasons I purchased this watch was to count my steps and track my sleep. It doesn't track sleep, so I traded it in for a Fitbit Blaze......:-)

    I wanted the S3 because it has better features than the classic S2 but it was too big for my wrist. So I opted for the S2 classic in rose gold instead.

    The leather band is nice. Not easy to learn navigation. The s health is good software to monitor heart rate, steps and activities. Like the voice commands.

    This works very well as long as you have your phone on you. Once you are out of range you loose all aspects of the watch except for the watch.

    I bought that smartwatch for my dad because he did not get a call well. It got better since he used it. But, he doesn't use other functions.
