    I was very pleased that this smart watch looks so much like a regular watch. It's very easy to use and has all the applications I wanted.

    I received this watch as a gift. It looked great and i think it's great for getting me up and moving a bit more. My biggest concern was the lack of waterproofing as I enjoy swimming. In the end I exchanged this watch for the S3 and I'm really glad I spent the few extra dollars for the s3. It's a bit larger than the s2, but i personally like that. I also had to charge my S2 overnight every few days, but the s3 I've only had to charge a few minutes a day to keep a near 100% charge (I usually charge while showering and just before bed and then wear it all night and I've never gone below 50% in two weeks). Paying with your watch is also fun, which you can do with both the s2 and s3. One thing that is missing on the s2 is the ability to answer your phone with your watch. It's great when you're not able to get to your phone easily. The s2 lacks a speaker, so this feature is not available.

    I like always having the exact correct time. The notification of texts and emails is cool, so I don't have to dig for my cell phone. I use the heart rate monitor a lot. And the workout apps will keep track of a lot if you want to. The battery will last a max of 2 days, if you shut it off at night. I haven't fully explored its capabilities. Thankfully, there's a lengthy owners manual online (for download) which shows you how to do what. Not much written instruction came with the physical packaging.

    I researched tons, before buying. It is such an amazing luxury to have. I use it along with my headset, they both are Bluetooth compatible & work together. It is even better than I could of imagined using. Makes it much easier when out & busy to always be connected. I would now, never be without my Samsung Galaxy Classic S2 Gear watch with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cellphone...I love, love, love it! You will enjoy owning this. You can set it up to your liking, only adding apps you wish to keep up with when on the go, if you concerned about data...oh & if u delete txt messages, email, etc on your watch it does not delete it from your phone. It is my go to when getting dressed. The battery usually lasts me 2 to 3 days on the watch before I need to recharge. It comes with nice charging stand. I found the watch very user friendly. After a few minutes, you will be a pro using it. I also love the feature of changing the faces as much as I want. There are tons of free ones. It is fun to switch them with your outfits. I also like that the watch lights up & turns on when you look at it but goes off when you move your arm back to normal position. It's a sweet adult must have item!

    This watch comes with a lot of cool features. It is beautifully designed, has a gorgeous display and lasts for about 2 to 3 days before needing a recharge. In order to achieve this battery life the display is blanked when not being used, so odds are if you look down at it to see the time the display will be blank.

    I got this to replace my Gear S, which I really liked. The S2 looks better and has really good functionality. However i do miss the swipe keyboard. I could return custom messages much quicker on the Gear S. That being said the voice to text has worked flawlessly for me and the looks are much better so I rarely run into circumstances where i miss the swipe. Its mostly when i get texts in quiet environments like meetings or movies when i really miss the swipe to text. Other than that I love this watch.

    I like being able to use this watch with my smartphone. Due to the environment I work in I don't always hear my phone or feel it vibrate in my pocket when it alerts to a call, email or text message. The watch vibrates on alerts and is very convenient by being on your wrist. It also tracks steps and heart rate much more accurately than just using your phone as it is on your wrist all the time. Bluetooth distance is about 90 feet from your device. Battery life is a couple days during normal use and I keep mine always on so it displays the time at all times. Battery life is longer if you use the power saving feature.

    nice looking, text alert with Samsung 7 worked well. Heart rate meter did not work very well and was inconsistent, not to be relied on. Step counting worked well and was motivating. Watch faces were limited and troublesome in that I could not delete some of the unwanted one, making it more difficult to change between wanted faces. After about 1 year it periodically would stop working-I would definitely get the extended Geek warranty.
