Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had done a lot of research online about which smart watch I wanted and waited months for this to come out. The bezel makes this thing super easy to use and texting is easy. I use this thing all the time and the battery lasts at least two days and will still have 20 to 30 percent left. The only things that slightly bug me are the facts that there is no reply option when you are looking at a text, so to text someone, they have to be on your buddy list set on your phone. Also, because it's a Tizen OS, there aren't many apps yet. I'm patient, but I would like to see more come out soon. Other than those things though, this has made my life a lot easier and I feel safer with the ability to send help messages from my watch. If you're going to get a smart watch, get this. It will be available to pair with iPhones soon!

With high hopes of this being the smartwatch that shows all the others up, I was pretty disappointed by what I got. Firstly, the lack of preparedness on Samsung's part was just absurd. The black Samsung Gear S2 was the only smartwatch to launch with the others "coming soon". I was looking forward to purchasing the 'Classic' smartwatch, but couldn't wait. The watch itself is fantastic, it's very fast, the battery lasts almost three days, and the rotating bezel is such a great idea. The app selection on the other hand is saddening. We were promised 1000 apps at launch; I can tell you right now there is nothing close to 1000 apps on Samsung's app store (that support the Gear S2). With time, this watch will well deserve five stars, but for the lack of apps, I'm giving it four. If you are wanting this watch but the white or classic variant, I would say wait for it. You will get what you want and hopefully by that time there will be a lot more apps supporting the Gear S2.

Overall this Smartwatch is very nice. It is light weight and very durable. I wear it at work where i bang it on stuff and scrape it against metal, so far it is still looking brand new. It looks nice as long as you are not wearing it with anthing too formal. For a smart watch I would say the battery life is very good and the speed/ function is exceptional. However It does not have many apps, or useful ones anyways. Hopefully they add more over time like pandora and some other big ones like that. I would give it five starts except that it wasn't all that big of a deal. It is nice, but it didn't impress me as I thought it would. I have it synced with my Samsung Galaxy S5. I feel that my phone is more than enough and at that point the watch is sort of useless other than to tell time. My phone does everything it can do and it really is not any more convenient than my phone. So in the end, it's a great watch, but for what it does, it's really not worth it considering the price.

This watch is pretty awesome. Has a great look and appeal to it. Pros: Great look and style Convenience - all of your notifications and messages right there on your wrist, and you can even respond. Phone integration (with Samsung S6 Edge, don't know about others) Cons: Technology still has room to grow Watch face can sometimes turn on easily, causing you to change things in error Not yet enough apps, but it seems to be getting there

This is a very good watch. I looked at several different smart watches. What really sold me on the Samsung Gear S2 was the Rotating Bezel. Also, the no "Flat Tire" was a big plus. The only possibly negative thing is that there are not a large amount of apps for it yet. The battery life is excellent on this watch.

I like the Samsung GearS2 but it is a bit expensive for what it can do. I can see text messages, phone calls and emails but my ability to respond is limited to choices preloaded on the watch. I can swipe to answer the phone or not answer but I have to then pull my phone from my purse because there is no microphone so I can't be heard. Not a major problem since I was aware of this before the purchase. Just think it should be less than $299 compared to what other watches can do for the same price. Not particularly happy with the watch face choices.

This is the best watch that Samsung came out so far. They got all the previous experience in previous watches and with the rotating bezel they made this smartwatch awesome ... the screen is very good outside and inside, also durable (I already hit a couple of times). Just some more apps and the connection with Androids phone is one of the best option in the market.

This is a great wearable in my opinion. I was a little hesitant buying a Tizen based smartwatch and the size of the battery worried be a bit too. Then I started thinking about all the stuff I did with my Moto 360 first gen. Most of it surrounded reviewing notifications and setting timers / alarms. Well the S2 does those pretty well. The OS is buttery smooth, barely ever a hiccup and the dial interaction is great. Svoice ( Samsung's Google Voice competitor ) is completely lack luster, it rarely gets what I'm saying unless I'm speaking very loudly and has long pauses between speaking and getting a reply. Also the app selection isn't anywhere as close to what it is on Android. On the plus side the battery lasts me 2 days with time to spare with normal usage. The battery life along with the quality of the hardware, smoothness of the OS, and watch dial interaction made this a pretty big win in my book. If they get their app store populated with more apps ( Philips Hue app please! ) then it'd be an easy 5 stars for me.

Great watch design, actually looks like a watch. The bezel turns which is great and easier than scrolling for me. The biggest issue that I have with the smartwatch is the lack of apps and no GPS. I wanted to use the watch for 2 main reasons, golf and fitness. For Golf, you have two app options, but you must pay for to use the watch. Fitness, has some decent apps, but if you want to go for a jog you have to have your phone to track distance. This is annoying if your not use to running with the oversized phones. I do enjoy getting the text on my watch, I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but to glance down and see an email or text is pretty cool and no more digging out your phone to see who it was.

Pros: Constant heart rate monitoring during exercise. Easy to navigate between screens and apps with the dial feature. When linked to the phone, updating the settings is easy. It is comfortable to wear, even while exercising. Cons: Battery life can range from 8 to 14 hours. It is useless when I plan to be away from the charger all day. Not enough quality apps in the store. No Samsung Pay as of yet. I understand it is on the way.

I did plenty of research before deciding which smart watch to purchase. I primarily wanted a watch to receive notifications, which this watch does well. The rotating bezel is great for navigation. Overall a great piece of hardware. The screen is crisp and clear, and notifications are easily dealt with. I don't have large wrists, and the Gear S2 does not look overly large on my wrist. I also get about 2 to 3 days of moderate use before charging. There are a few negatives, that, for me, don't detract from the watch overall. However, these negatives should be considered if you are interested in this watch. First, it is well known that there aren't many apps for the watch. Sure there are lots of watch faces, but very few useful apps in my opinion. Granted, this was not the reason I decided on this watch, so for me, not a big deal. Second, S Voice is slow and doesn't work that well. I don't use it much, but when I find the need to it is frustrating. Hopefully, future updates will fix this. (Hence my reason for giving this 4 stars, and not 5.) For runners/joggers, there is not native GPS built into the watch. Thus for run tracking, you will still need to bring your phone. Again, not a big deal for me, and I knew this before I purchased it. But, I can understand that for a $300 purchase, GPS probably should have been included. Lastly, the watch does not have the native ability to sleep track. There are a few apps you can use, but I've found they drain the watch's battery significantly. A rumored update coming this summer/fall will supposedly address this. Again, this was not a deal breaker for me. Overall a great watch. If you're looking for a watch that receives notifications and some other functionality, consider the Gear S2. However, those of you looking for a smart watch with lots of apps or integration with Google and their services, you are probably better off with an Android Wear watch. For those that want something more athletic and still with the Samsung product range, the Gear Fit 2 might be more appropriate.

This is my first smart watch so i can not compare to anything else.i love everything about it.great display.battery has been lasting all day for me with a workout.only downside i see right now is lack of apps.

Love that it connects seamlessly with my other Samsung products (Galaxy tablet and S6 phone). Looks great and functions well. Waiting for more apps but understand it's still a new product.

I love the design, UI and everything else except the fact that it doesn't have a lot of apps. At the moment there ain't a lot of apps to choose from most of them are just the watch faces.

I always get buyers remorse when I buy something. It's just what I do. But I NEVER regretted buying the gear s2. I love it! It does everything I need it to do and fits my petite wrists, which was something I was worried about seeing as I'm 5'2", 110 lbs, and most of the other smartwatches out there are huge on me. The only thing I find annoying about this watch is the lack of apps, but I'm hoping there will be more options in the future. Also, there is no calculator pre-installed on the watch (apparently that's important to some people), but you can download one from the gear store. I downloaded "Calculator" by Samsung and it works great!

I have to say I'm absolutely in love with the rotating bezel! I'm just a little disappointed they don't have more apps for it

Sleek design. Battery life not bad at 2 solid days with 3 hours of workouts tracked. Using with IPhone so apps are limited. Overall very happy with this.

I was loving my watch. Definitely worth it for us ladies as my phone is usually at the bottom of my purse. Some of the apps do not work (i.e I have had trouble making a call from my watch via my bluetooth). I am not giving 5 stars bc my band broke one month after purchasing (no forceful pulling, never showered with it, dont workout..etc) normal everyday wear. I even take it off to sleep. After contacting Samsung....the band is not covered, so I have to purchase a new band. Not happy abt that.

Best with Samsung phone..but I used with my one plus one and it works fine. Downside -really limited applications

I've been waiting for Samsung to come out with this new watch and I'm not disappointed. The features are great. I love the look (unlike the big, bulky and square others). Yes, it's a little short on apps at the moment. Hopefully that is being worked on as we speak. And the band could be a little larger. Not all of us have skinny wrists. But all in all, it's a great watch.
