    I personally really enjoy this smart watch. Not only is it easy to use, it does everything that I hoped that it would! I am planning on getting one for my spouse also!

    The Gear S2 is a a great improvement from Samsung's previous version and the rotating bezel is an ingenious new feature. Looks better than the Gear S3 IMO.

    I am somewhat disappointed with the battery life. It typically lasts a bit less than 48 hours but at times the battery lasts less than 30 hours. In addition, the watch does not easily move from blank to time.

    My wife has a Galaxy S5 that she paired with this watch and she absolutely loves it. She loves the fact that it doesn't look bulky/odd like other smartwatches look.

    I was looking to buy a watch anyway and most likely would have spent around $200+ so paying a little extra for the S2 wasn't a big deal and the design and style is versatile so the functionality is a bonus.

    Purchased the watch for my girlfriend for Christmas even thought I knew she wanted a MK smart watch (sorry Michael). After doing the research on features and compatibility with her existing Samsung phone. I decided on the S2. "Bad boyfriend" when she opened the gift she explained that she really wanted the MK watch we had looked at earlier in the year. So I asked her to try it out for a week and she still had her heart set on the other... so be it. Its now Jan 23 and she is still raving about the features and compliments she receives at work... "Good Boyfriend"

    It took me a few days to get used to the feel after the gear fit, but I'm reallly starting to like it. It is a bit hard to get the face customized. The apps don't want to behave. Otherwise I really like it.

    I received the Gear S2 Classic as a replacement for the Microsoft Band that broke and was discontinued. The personnel at Best Buy recommended the S2, since I had a Samsung phone. I love this watch, it looks like a regular watch, but the functionality is amazing. Best Buy's recommendation was spot on. If you are thinking about buying this watch, just do it you won't be disappointed. I did replace the band with a metal one, but that was just my preference. Great Watch!!

    Looks nice and band is comfortable. I actually get my notifications now as soon as my phone gets them because the watch gives them to me. Some cool apps.

    Samsung Gear S2 Smart Watch

    This is a great watch. It's over priced, but I got a nice gift certificate for buying it so that helped with the sticker shock. This watch has lots of apps available to down load. It connects via Bluetooth or can be stand alone when your phone is not with you. I shouldn't call it a watch because it's a pedometer, and alerts me when I have IM or email (which I don't use because I'd get too much information). It tells me when I haven't been active enough, the weather, when I have a phone call, when I have an appointment...and so much more. And, it's better looking than the Apple iWatch.

    Great smart watch! I synced it with my Galaxy 7 Edge phone and it's the perfect compliment. I can quickly check incoming texts and emails to prioritize them. A number of my programs/apps sync well with it as well, such as the alarm. Highly recommend. The only thing that I didn't like that well was the leather band as it was short on my wrist. I bought a silver flex band and it looks great.

    I asked around quite a bit before buying this watch. People said 'I use it way more than I thought I would'. It's true. It's not a toy or a status symbol as much as a way to get information without always picking up the stupid phone. Also the build quality on the Platinum model is excellent. I'd say far superior over the others. Also note you can change the bands with any band you want to.
