I don't have a lot of experience with smart watches. I bought one in the past and never used it so I was hesitant to buy this one. But I'm glad I did. It's sleek and simple to use. The watch faces let you dress it up or dress it down. I really like the turning bezel. Makes it a little easier to navigate instead of having to swipe the little screen. Only thing I found that I didn't like was when using it to reply to a text, some words I was trying to type couldn't be typed out. That happened mostly when trying to abbreviate things so it wasn't that much of a pain. Haven't had any issues with the battery. I can usually make it two days without having to charge it.

This being my 3rd smart watch, I've finally found one that meets my needs. After a month of use I'm even more pleased with the watch. The battery life is exactly as promised, almost 2 days. The display is really easy to read in any light. I was a little concerned when I bought it that it wasn't using the google operating system, but that definitely has not been a problem. I love this watch

I have tried several other Smart Watches in the past and didn't like most of them for different reasons. For me, the watch has to look like a watch and not a bracelet or some goofy screen strapped to my wrist. I gave this one a shot because I did like the looks of it. I personally prefer the smaller screen for an aesthetic reason alone. Sure, I would be more efficient with a larger screen but I will sacrifice that in order to Not look like a Dork, even though I accept that I am one.
The quality of the screen is the best that I have experienced and I can't stand looking at the lesser quality screens now that I am used to this one.
Functionality of software on this watch is nothing new but the rotating ring for the UI is surprisingly helpful. Watching the videos on this watch I originally said to myself I would not use it all. I was wrong and now I would be upset if future versions do not include this ring.
At the very least, this watch should be considered at the top of your list if you like the looks of it and if the size is right for you.

I like the style of the watch. Also like that the battery last for a long time. I like the fitness portion of the watch. I do not like the limited amount of apps, you get on the phone.

Samsung finally hit the mark with this one. I have been watching the smart watch industry for a while hoping that they would release one with a low profile and comfortable to wear. I had previously given up wearing regular watches for a couple of years due to being able to just view the time on my phone. Using this allows me to see who's texting, etc, without so much as even taking my phone out of my pocket. At home I just leave my phone on my desk and walk around the house with my watch on: quite liberating actually. My only "complaint" is that this watch is so good that most people don't even know I'm wearing a smart watch. It's a small price to pay for comfort. Just in case you aren't thinking about it, don't buy the watch with the leather band if you are going to be working out with it. That's what the "sports" version of this watch is for.

I bought this as a gift for our anniversary and he was so happy. He gets a lot of compliments and he loves that he can change the face to match his outfit. It has a pedometer and I love that. It connects with his cell through Bluetooth and it's great cause now he doesn't miss a text because it alerts him. He couldn't stop talking about it. I did good with this gift.

For the most part I love this watch. Looks great, I'm able to go about two days between charges, and it's pretty intuitive. I'm not currently able to use Samsung pay using my watch, to do this you have to have a compatible Samsung phone. I currently have the S5 phone, but is not able to use Samsung pay. Other than that, great watch. I recommend it.

initially i got this watch as a xmas gift from my wife only because the s3 had been out of stock awhile, so i enjoyed this watch and with the new update had all the options the s3 had, accept the obvious changes like speaker etc. the battery life is pretty good when you set up your options right, but i mean these are smart watches if they make it through the day u just pop it on your charger at night, i dont use the sleep option much in the app since i dont like it on my wrist while sleeping, but the watch looks great and the pricing was good on sale when i bought it. only reason for me wanting to upgrade to the s3 is because of the speaker option and the size, but this watch for me did what it was supposed to do and looked great as well! the screen is pretty amazing on the s2 and s3

This is a great item to buy, has many great features to it but the only problem with I've experienced is that it doesn't complete your calls on the actual watch itself. The minute you call or answer a received call, you have to go to your cell phone to actually answer instead of just talking through the watch itself. Other than that it's great.

I spent a lot of time researching the different watches that are available on the market. I finally decided that this watch fit my tech needs best. I liked the fact that the watch was small enough to look like a normal watch and a regular wrist band would fit it. I wish it had a speaker but I knew that before I bought it. It has everything that I need.

I got it in an open market prize. I can say this one beat all other Samsung or other digital watches in the market. Battery backup is nice as it lasts for 1.5 days. It looks awesome and the interface is user-friendly. I am using it extensively for my daily exercises, MBTA transit info, controlling songs in my mobile through it...etc....

This is a great watch for running. It has built in GPS & can store music to playback via Bluetooth. Perfect for running & using the Nike app. Only knock is it runs Tizen rather than Android Wear software, so apps are limited. That said the watch functions very well, battery life is great & I'm happy running without carrying my cell phone.

Everything you could want in a watch with so many options to personalize it. Can even create your own watch faces! Have owned this for quite awhile now and wear it every day and it is still going strong. Can even link it with an iphone alto you do loose some functionality that way! I also love the way it looks!!

I bought the Samsung Gear S2 and have had it for about 1 year now. I think it is fantastic. I have no connectivity issues at all. The battery lasts 2 to 3 days. I think it is so great that you can design your own watch face or download tons of free ones to customize your watch. I love the watch.

I love this watch, the spinning bezel, the leather strap, it looks so classy yet because it is a smarthwatch it's modern. Only issue I had is they added a few new features to the watch but removed some old ones such as being able to talk through it, I'll miss that feature since it reminded me of Dick Tracy when he used to speak through his watch.
My biggest problem though which is not really product related just more Best Buy related was that here in NYC it was almost impossible to find even 2 weeks after, the ONLY reason I was able to buy one was the fact that I knew the Samsung rep and he actually told me a few days after that he accident sold me the watches which a manager had requisitioned for himself, he said other than the display models it is the only Classic model ones that he had seen, something fishy is going on at the 62nd and Broadway store......

Im a horrible impulse buyer and when I heard Samsung was coming out with this watch I was skeptical because it had a much smaller face than the Gear S (I'm 6'4" with larger hands). Even once I tried it on I was still on the fence. I've had it for about 2mths now and it's been one of the best purchases. The upgraded UI is much better than its predecessor. I changed the bad to a black stainless steel band I saw on Amazon and it looks SHARP! I get complements on it all the time. I still wish the face was a hair larger to match my big hands as well lol but it's great! Only bad thing I can say about it is I wish it had a speaker for notification alerts. Other than that my Gear S will continue to sit on my dresser collecting dust!!

This is possibly the best thing I have ever bought! I love this watch! The only thing is I wish it came with an alternate wrist band. It comes with two leather ones one is small and one large so that was definitely a plus! I wasn't 100% sure that I was going to like it so Best Buy's 14 day policy was excellent for this item. Also the geek squad $70 2 yr replacement plan is great! I love having the security to know that if I have an accident my watch is covered!

This watch is sleek and fun to use. The leather band is very comfortable and looks nice. Getting notifications on my watch is super convenient and screening calls is a great feature. Only problem for now is it has limited apps available and not a lot of great watch faces yet. I expect this to fix over time though.

This is a great smartwatch! The interface is much faster and smoother than other brands and it is very professional looking, not a big, bulky, awkward looking watch.
Yes it does run Tizen, but it comes pre-loaded with everything I need and it works very well with my Android phone. I highly recommend this watch.

I purchased this watch and exchanged it 3 days when I heard that Moto360 could also be linked to the iPhone. I then returned Moto360 1 day later after I realized I had made a mistake. The S4 is at a completely different and better level than any other smart match. Even better than the iwatch. I love my watch!
