    My husband got himself one and I was so jealous I had to pick one up for myself. It's comfortable and has so many functions on my wrist. I love that I get my messages and calls at the touch of a button.

    I love it, highly recommend having a Galaxy product as the compatibility is best with a Galaxy product then compared to another brand. Has room for improvement and more apps but hopefully it will soon.

    It's basically an apple-watch for your Samsung device! All apps work great! Wonderful customization available. Battery charges quickly! I've had it for about a month.. No complaints

    I initially bought a Garmin Vivosmart HR because some coworkers had them, and I wanted to take advantage of the HR monitor. However, I ended up picking up the Gear S2 during a sales event, and I am so glad I did! It might not be the fanciest, most expensive, and top-of-the-line smartwatch, but it is perfectly fine for me for daily use. I've had my Gear S2 for about 7 months now, and I mainly wear it for steps and receiving texts and calls. I keep my phone in my pocket at work, and it is way less professional taking my phone out of my pocket to see what's going on, especially in front of a patient. When I wear my watch, I can easily check to see if it is an important call or if it is one to ignore. My only complaint is that the battery isn't the greatest. I used to use my Vivosmart as my alarm, as it vibrates to wake you up in the morning. The Gear's battery isn't as good as the Garmin, and I have gotten used to just putting it on it's charger every night. I have no used it for an alarm because I like to have it fully charged for the next day. I'm sure it can go a few days without charging, but I would rather not risk it. This is not a deal breaker for me though, and I also do understand that the Gear S2 is using way more battery than the Vivosmart because of the watch face and more capabilities. Side note: There was at one point when my white bands looked like they were peeling, and I thought they were done for. I ended up picking it all off, and it looks perfectly fine now?? Not sure what it was. It was almost like forgetting to pull off the plastic protector on a brand new product, but I know the bands do not have such a thing. Weird experience but no problem now!

    As advertised... but with some changes

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was so proud to get this finally for my 15th birthday! As soon a I set up the watch, though I noticed that it does not do some of the things as advertised. CONS: For example when you make a call, it prompts you to use your phone to make that call. And when I want to listen to music, I have to have bluetooth headphones. The watch face needs to be cleaned a lot from smudges. PROS: When being used as just a standalone watch, their is indeed a lot you can do with it. For example, you can use the samsung health app, gallery, schedule, calculator, timers and your music. RECOMMENDATIONS: Buy the white one, because it's really hard to notice lint or dust. Amazing watch face designs too!

    I wear this watch day and night and only taking it off to fully charge it once a day and its been great. It's missing some of the fancy new features but it's still holding strong. I mainly use it for time, calendar, push notifications for emails/texts, and the silent alarm vibration. Loving it still enjoying it 2+years later

    This is a great watch for everyone. I need not look at my phone all the time for notifications, messages, and phone calls. You can reply back on the watch itself. I am really happy with my purchase.

    This is a great piece of technology that works very well with the Samsung Note 5, and is a much better value than the overprices Apple tech.

    I had the original one. I love this one better than the classic. Band wise. I typically use this just as a watch but ive realized this gear s2 is so much better to text with. I started with the dial keyboard but the 3x4 keyboard is easy with predictive texting. Heck if tmobile didn't charge 60 bucks more i would have got one with a sim card to use strictly as a phone. I love this.
