I purchased this item for the fitness and notification features and have been very satisfied.
Pros:
- Communications with my Galaxy phone have been flawless.
- The device has performed very well and the rotating bezel is a great feature.
- There are many free watch face selections of varied tastes.
- Being able to see messages at a glance has been very useful.
- Integration to fitness applications has been a plus.
- Very good looking device, even on my small wrists (Gone are the days of clunky smart watches).
- Great selection of economical, third party wrist bands to replace leather bands for running.
- The battery had plenty of juice left at the end of the day (40% or more).
Cons:
- No great application for target heart rate monitoring.
- Minimal selection of apps (Not that there is any application other than the previously mentioned that I am missing)
If you're in the market for an android compatible smartwatch, this is one of the nicest looking options, that goes great with business attire, or to the gym. I love being able to put my phone in my pocket and forget about it.

Great functionality. Feels like a normal watch. Not bulky at all. Main reason I bought it is for use in the car, at work and on jogs. It works great for what I need.

This watch is stunning and very functional. I just picked it up on Sunday and I've been wearing it daily. I will be buying the metal watch bands to change up the look, but with the different watch faces available for selection it feels as if you are wearing a new watch everyday. If you are stuck on the fence about this purchase as I was buy this watch, you will be very happy with this purchase.

The watch is beautiful. Everything on it works great except when I go to use the speak to type method. It will freeze on me having to restart the watch. Also not being able to talk into it for a phone call kind of something I don't like. I bought this one mostly because it's prettier and classier than the others. Besides the talk to text problem I have not had no issues.

Its a cool modern gadget, looks cool, the rotating bezel is an AWSOME idea ALL smartwatch brands should copy, its almost addicting to hear it rotate.
Sadly, it has poor battery life, it doesn't quite last 12 hours, i think the updates since i first got it made it progressively worse.
And it seriously lacks apps, it needs more apps, samsung needs to pay people to make apps for tizen or something.

Was unsure about this one while I was at the store. The biggest selling points to me were size (its not too big!) and the rotating bezel. That rotating bezel is so intuitive when navigating the menus. Also, when they say you can go two days without charging, it's true. I haven't tried the Gear S3 but if you can find this model, go for it.

I've had the watch for about a month now and thus far I am liking it. Battery easily lasts a day and that is without being on a power saving mode. Apps work well and the range to my phone is amazing. Did run into a software glitch at one point but a simple shut down managed to clear it. Overall I'm happy with it and I've had various people tell how that they admire how it looks.

Overall i am very happy with this watch. The design is very minimal and stylish. It is very nice to have the notifications appear and show with such high definition graphics on such a small screen. My only negative with this watch is the amount of apps that are available at this time for it.

My girlfriend wanted it, I had to give it to her.. she seems me using my zenwatch 2 so she have to get hooked.. since she didn't like the square style of the zen she went for the gear s2 and let me tell you... paying 300 for a smart watch that doesn't have speakers on it and doesn't have Google voice ISN'T FUN. But for now it will do,, notifications!

The samsung gear s2 is an amazing watch and piece of technology love that i can check email and text messages but bot look like i am texting has a few cool apps and games cant wait for more to become avalible the extra 50 bucks for the classic is worth it a smaller screen size but you can replace the band yourself and use just about and watch band not just the samsung band great product alwayd looking forward to what samsung comes out with next

I wanted a Smartwatch that functions well with my sporting activities as well as able to be worn with suits and dress shirts without looking too bulky. If you have a professional job, this is definitely a watch to consider as it has the smallest face on the market. Plus the rotating bezel is a great feature that no other Smartwatch has currently available.

I've had smart watches before but this is the first one that actually looks like a watch. Also the rotating dial is pretty ingenious.
Battery life for me is a full day even with the watch face always on.
The only reason I pulled a star was because the app store is still severely lacking for this watch. hopefully that will change soon.

This watch is great, it does everything you need. Texting on it is not easy by hand but voice to text works well. Being able to read your emails and text without pulling out your phone is wonderful. Could use more free watch faces but have many to choose from. Battery life is about 2 days. Did not like the band but have several choices and they change out pretty easily. Would be nice if it had a speaker but not necessary.

I bought this watch as a gift for my mom and she absolutely LOVES it! the rose gold adds the final girly touch for women! Im an apple user but I'm extremely
knowledgeable on most technology and different mobile OS. I think the only downfall is that you can't actually talk on the watch, like take a phone call, the way you can with the apple watch. Hopefully with the next model they will incorporate that feature.

bought this for my husband as an early Christmas present & he loves it! so many more features than the first gear watch he had. the only downside about this one (and the reason for 4/5 stars) is that there's no speaker, therefore he can't make or recieve phone calls right from the watch. other than that, it's perfect!
