Customer Ratings & Reviews

I.'m really liking the watch. I like all the capabilities available at my wrist. I get my notifications from emails, texts, phone calls, fitness, and even sports and news. There are many watch faces available and can even switch up the wristbands which I haven't yet but will soon. It's a great watch. I just wish sprint sold the 3g version.

This is my second smartwatch from Samsung, my first being a Samsung Gear 2 Neo, and I must say it is an improvement from the previous version. Not only does this look like a conventional watch, but the interface on it is pretty simple and intuitive when using. The moving bezel around the edge of the watch face is a pretty useful and easy to use for navigating the menu's of the smartwatch as well as accessing the various apps on the watch. The rotating bezel is perhaps the coolest and most useful feature of the Gear S2. As for battery, without running it on the brightest setting, I can usually get roughly 72 hours (3 days) before I need to recharge the smartwatch to continue using, which is pretty good to compared to other smartwatch brands and it on par with my old Gear 2 Neo. Speaking on my Gear 2 Neo, there are two features on it that the Gear S2 doesn't have. The first one, which is pretty minor, is the IR emitter for remote control of TVs and cable boxes and I am not terrible worried about that. The second one, which gives my old Gear 2 Neo a slight edge over the Gear S2 is the ability to actually make phone calls on the smartwatch. While you can accept or reject phone calls on the Gear S2, you can't actually take calls, such as speaker phone calls, which kind of gave you a Star Trek or Dick Tracy moment. Again, two minor things that I lost by switch to the new Gear S2, but it does everything else my old Gear 2 Neo does. Receiving notifications from texts, emails, or even apps are clear and easy to read. So you if have a Samsung android smartphone and are looking for a cool accessory, definitely check out the Gear S2. A bit pricey, but I haven't stopped wearing it since I got it. Plus it comes with a swappable wrist band for different size wrist.

As a faithful samsung customer I had high hopes for the gear s2 and I haven't been too disappointed. The features in the samsung gear app allow for every app on my phone to be allowed to send notifications and even receive feedback via the gear. Tizen may have been a weakness but I can get all my Google services notifications: hangouts, Gmail, and messager. I can even reply right into those apps! Testing the 2-3 day battery claim right now and I hope by using Google reminders I will update after I find out.. if I actually find the time :) as of right now, get the gear, you will love it!

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

I've sampled a variety of smartwatches over the past few years. What I've come to learn about myself in the process is that my priorities are notifications, heart rate tracking, step counts, activity level tracking, and tracking runs/bike rides via GPS. This watch hits all but one of those points. Notifications are nice and seem to provide me with the right amount of information. The circular dial motion to move around is quite intuitive and seems to be the wow-factor when showing off the watch. Heart rate monitoring is good, and even with it turned to be the most aggressive, I consistently got 2+ days of battery life. The 24-hour activity level view is great too. While not a true sleep tracker, it did give me a good idea of what my restful sleep time actually looks like and a relatively nice overview of what was going on over the past few days. Bluetooth range to my GN5 was pretty good - useful a couple times that I mislaid my phone. I thought the alarm vibration was pretty good. It's too soft to really hear from further than a few feet, but does well enough for a muted wrist announcement. My main gripe is the lack of built-in GPS (though there is a version of this watch with that capability - plus the ability to make calls) and it not being as stylish as the classic. My perfect watch today would be the gear s2 classic w/ GPS. But if you don't quite need the marriage of the two, this makes a great wearable!

Sansung Gear S2 pairs great with Samsung Galaxy s5 Android. Get all your info on the watch, convenient way to check text messages without having to look at the phone. Keeps track of health stats. Battery life is about three days, easy to charge, just lay it on the charger.

I bought it as a mother's day gift for my wife. She loves it. She is an RN and she can't always have her phone out while on the floor so I got her this so she can get her notifications without taking her phone out. She is able to text, check weather, step count, alarm, email, the list is too long. Battery life is great, she can go almost three full days on a single charge with the screen brightness down to 6-7. I bought her extra bands so she can change them out when ever she feels like it. Very sturdy and just the right size for her.

This watch was for my 14-year-old son's birthday. He loves it! It is connected to his phone via Bluetooth and he receives texts, phone calls, calendar notifications, etc. (which is handy for me since he always has his phone on mute in his pocket and I can't reach him as easily). It is easy to work, attractive, has changeable clock faces and different apps. It is a nice size, especially for a smaller wrist. This watch doesn't look as clunky or techie as some other smartwatches do. Highly recommended!

I like the watch and would recommend it, but all I expected and want from the watch is to look good, tell the time, count my steps and receive notifications including texts and emails. All of this works well for me. Also the battery lasts a full day with some reserve.

This is a great smart watch. Does everything I need on a daily and last all day. I get all my notifications and texts straight to my wrist. Doesn't feel like a gimmick, samsung went the right way with this one. Only wish there were more apps for it but those will come in time. Very clear screen and very responsive to swipes add typing. Only other flaw is samsung s voice doesn't work as well as it should but still very good.

I love all the tasks my watch can perform from notifying me that I've received emails to text messages. I can also track my fitness with and see who's calling me without picking up my phone. It's a great product especially where I work it keeps me in the know while I'm on the run!

This is a very comfortable band to wear. You don't know your wearing it. About the gear2 itself, so far im very pleased with it. It's shows my steps and it has a appt that keeps that you put what you eat ,and shows your calories and calories burned. I receive my text and phone calls on this gear2. I can text but don't talk. I beleive you need service with your cell company for talking but not texting. I didnt need it. Facebook notified me when someone posted for me. Love it. I tried the fitbit, didn't like how it felt on my arm and didn't have what the Samsung gear2 has. I have the gear2 with white band. I have tried four different kinds. I very satisfied with samsung gear2. I have samsung phone and im not sure about other phones, but setup is very easy and lots of keep if needed.

Purchased it for my husband he loves it. He is able to use it to help him with his weight loss, and keep up with email and text without keeping his phone close to him.

Great activity tracker. Love the heart rate monitor. Plus the notifications are a life saver. It works great sending short texts. Has a pretty good battery life too

Love the ease of use. Love seeng who is texting, and calling and being able to answer texts from the watch instead of pulling out my phone. Can't wait for new apps!

I love the watch and all of it's functions. I purchased it so that when I was in a meeting I didn't always need to look at my phone for my messages/email. Or when my kids are playing on my phone I'm not missing anything important. The fitness notifications are a double edge sword for me....I love the reminders to get up and move around but they are also annoying especially if you are sitting in traffic for the last hour and can't move. All and all....a great product.

Purchased a few weeks ago the same day u bought my new Galaxy Note 5. Pairing was simple and intuitive. Materials feel substantial--I work outdoors and wear my watch daily to track steps, distance, heart rate, and calories burned. I love being able to keep my phone stored in my pocket, relying on the watch notifications to let me know if I need to reply to anything. My onlyou regret is not buying the next higher model.

I now have a watch that does many different things. I love the heart monitor feature and the fact that it keeps me in touch with my phone when somebody calls, or texts me. I like that it can keep track of your daily step count and exercise time. The watch can show you many faces and if you are tired of one...change it. How can you not like this watch! When I'm not as active, I just put the watch on power save...which still gives you the time and messages. Love it!

My boyfriend loved this gift. He had been contemplating purchasing a watch for some time, but hadn't considered having a smartwatch. It's really easy to use with his Samsung Galaxy S6 and it super sleek looking. Not clunky like the apple watch can look. He uses it pretty much all the time for notifications and tracking his steps. I definitely recommend getting this for the samsung lover in your life.

I bought this color first then actually exchanged it before I opened it for the silver/white version. I wanted the silver watch but wasn't that excited about the white band. I figured I'd find a new band. I love the silver color and bought a gray band on amazon. Perfect combination. The watch does everything it's supposed to. Love the rotating bezel. I use it primarily for notifications. I get notifications about texts, Gmail, twitter, calender events and a few others. Watch faces are cool but could use more options. As most everyone knows, there are not a lot of apps yet but I'm hoping it will get better. For how I use the watch it doesn't really affect me. Overall a nice, stylish watch and cool gadget.
