Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this watch! I've had it for a month and I'm glad I waited for the silver/white combo. The interface is smooth, quick and easy to navigate. I think this is the best form of function and style from a smartwatch. I've even had people comment about how they like the design. I've even had people ask me if it's an Apple Watch smh. The cons I have about the device is the bezel ring started to get loose after just hours of having it. It still functions but I think the build quality could be better. And I do wish Samsung didn't remove the speaker as previous models like the Galaxy Gear and Gear 2/Neo had this. I know the 3g model has this feature to make calls on the watch, but I don't like the added thickness because of the cellular radios inside.

I have a Samsung phone so syncing and connecting the watch was easy. Battery lasts around 35-40 hours while connected to phone via bluetooth, which is as good as can be expected. There is no speaker on the watch, so it is unable to play music or take phone calls, but calls and music can be controlled by the watch with the audio coming from a connected bluetooth headset or speaker. I am still trying to figure out the easiest way to use the keyboard for texting. I have created saved messages and primarily use those. 4 stars instead of 5 because the watch does not have a speaker.

The watch is well made. The buttons have a nice feel to them and I like the radius dial to navigate and control apps. I am extremely hard on watches and so far so good. No scratches or dings. I love the charging cradle, just drop it in and go. The watch comes with a nice selection of faces. However, there are not many that are free for download. I like the way the Samsung Gear App controls the watch and allows you to select which apps send alerts to the watch. I have a few complaints… there is no speaker on this watch. So, that means no audible alarms, just vibrates. Also, because there is no speaker, you cannot do ‘speaker phone’ calls on your watch like you can on the older model Gear watches. I miss that feature. There is a limited selection of watch bands at this time, so I am hoping for more later down the road. The battery is good all day. I have a lot of notifications that go to my watch, so they don’t seem to eat up the battery. I usually have 65% left at the end of a 14 hour day with the display brightness turned up all of the way.

This is my 2nd Samsung gear S my first was the original Gear S. Comparing both the S2 is a big improvement especially with the wireless charging. The cradle of the gear S broke six months after I purchased it.. The wireless charging is a huge improvement.. The only negative is no speaker. The gear S has a speaker so you can place and receive calls from the watch and play music. The S2 does not have that feature. Nor can you receive calls from the watch. You can place and answer calls but not take then from the watch unlike previous gears...I'm not liking that change but overall a very good watch and a near perfect replacement to the Original Gear S..

I wish they made it with a speaker also. It makes no sense that the 3G model is the only one that has a speaker which you can only get at your carrier. The Bluetooth version doesn't have it, which is the only inconvenience for me. I would love to speak and hear into it, they made such a beautiful watch but left out something so important. Such a shame. I would have to buy the 3G version. If you don't mind the speaker is awesome! Cool features.

Well done and executed, Samsung! Best interface among all the existing smartwatches, easy to operate. The only caveat is this watch does not have a speaker, so vibration will be the only notification indicator for you to know that there is something new.

I love this watch. One of the best purchases I've made. It didn't get 5 stars because there's no speaker equipped in it so you can't make calls from it, which I didn't find out until after I bought it. I love that when you get a notification, you can click show on phone and then it will unlock your phone and go directly to the app with your notification. Super cool, looks really stylish. Now I'm just waiting for customized wrist bands!

The design is awesome, but I wish it had the speaker and SIM slot. Was unaware there where two types of Gear S2 but overall it's a great smartwatch and the battery life is decent for its size.

The only problem i have with this product is that i didnt do my research. The version that i got is the wifi version. Which has many great features that i love. Except that it doesnt have a speaker on it. Thats it, only problem. Great product, feels great on wrist. Tracks steps and heart rate. And you can track your intake with it. It also subtly lets you know when you have any notifications. And allows you to reply reasonably easily. The apps for it work well and you can always download new watchfaces.

Like the looks of it and the changing of information through the turning of the dial. Wish it was so that I could talk to a speaker. Good enough for my needs. I don't miss any calls and it tracks my activities.

Gr8 watch but no speaker so u can't answer calls! And the range is not that good! Good for tracking fitness! N looks good!

I love my new smart watch. Alerts me when I get texts, phone calls, tracks me steps, - you cannot answer a phone call or listen to music - there is no speaker. You can talk text and it works great. Also, you can bluetooth some headphones and listen to music that way, but I havent tried it yet. Overall I am very happy with my purchase :)

It is a cool smart watch. But I wish it had the speaker and size as the the first gear s. Overall though it's a very cool watch.

i really like the new design and the interface,but samsung ruined they take away the speaker, you can't answer and make phone calls from the watch

I really liked this watch and would have loved to keep it however, this version does not have a speaker. You can answer phone calls but it's basically useless because you can't hear the other side. I had to return it and buy the 3g version from my phone provider. It's a great watch otherwise and love my new 3g one. In my opinion it was worth the extra $50

Miss the speaker that allowed you to talk on phone

He enjoys it, wish you could make calls and had a speaker

Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a speaker

Sharp looking watch that does a lot of cool things. The non 3G does not have a speaker.

Really nice watch everything is perfect except you have to pay monthly for talking with your watch. It does not have a speaker. Battery better than apple watch. it keeps on 2 days easily.
