Works okay. Had to reset a few times. Charges fast but does not let you upload

the product had some scratches and we didn't use it till after 15 days

The watch is ok, work fine, thought it would do more things than it does.

I sort of knew I was getting this from my girlfriend as Christmas gift since I directed her towards the watch after I unknowingly purchased myself the Christmas gift she originally bought for me. Whoops!!!! After having time to play with the watch and all the features and still learning what it can, I am very happy with it and continue to like more and more each day. It does what I wanted it to do and I'm sure more apps will be available as time goes on. I am not a techie so I don't know software names or technical words to make myself sound computer smart. For the people who have patience, common sense, and understand sarcasm, you'll understand my review. I have Samsung s5 phone and had no problems pairing them together. The watch has gps which is very accurate, tracks steps, tracks heart rate, and you can set it up on what kind of notifications you want to get from your phone. Let's be honest with that no Samsung gear, Apple watch, Fitbit, or any other wrist tracker is 100% accurate. How can something on your wrist know exactly how many steps you taken? Do you manually count each step you take in a day and compare the two. HR monitor isn't 100 % accurate either. It monitors your HR rate by checking the pulse in your wrist but the monitor is on top of the wrist. In the real medical world, to check an HR rate you check the pulse below your wrist. So nothing is going to be 100% accurate. I see people are upset that this watch doesn't have an sleep tracker. I never understood why anyone needs any type of smart watch to know how long I slept for? How does something on your wrist know if you are sleeping accurately? I know what time I went to bed, remembered when I seen the clock last, knowing how many times I got up to use the restroom, excited to see the time when laying back down knowing I have x amount of hrs left before my alarm goes off or mad b/c I have 10-30 mins left before my alarm goes off. I think answering a call on the watch is a weird option for this watch b/c you'll need your phone to talk to the person calling. It should just have the reject call option on the watch only. Again people are upset b/c you can't talk on your watch. No one talks on their cell phones anymore so why are people upset b/c they can't talk on a watch? if you wanted to talk on the watch, you should have bought the one you can do that with. Most likely your phone is near you anyway so answer the phone and not the watch. The S voice isn't the best when trying to reply to a text. You can type on the watch but the keys are small on the screen and it is like the old flip phones where you have to hit the number a certain amount of times to get the correct letter you want. So I added more quick messages in the Samsung Gear app settings on my phone with the ones already on there to reply back to texts. If I need to send a detailed text, I'll just use my phone. Not very hard! I like being able to control my music, Pandora, and other music apps from my watch. You can also load about 300 songs onto the watch memory and pair the watch with Bluetooth headphones and play music without the phone. I haven't done it yet b/c don't have Bluetooth headphones. If I do, I'll update my review. If I get Bluetooth headphones, upload music to my watch, and use Nike+ or S Health to go for a run without my phone, that would be great. Battery life is good for me. I woke up at 6am with a full charge and went to bed at midnight with 52% battery left. This was after a day of moderate notifications I guess b/c people vary what they consider a lot of notifications or not enough. Plus I got my workout in also wearing the watch. I'm still getting used to wearing a watch again so I do have some discomfort at times b/c its been about 17 years since I wore a watch. Overall it is a good watch for what I want it to do. It is really an extension of your phone if you have to be few feet or few yards away from your phone. Now you don't have rush across the room to see if you need to take a call or waiting on a text or email. You can check your watch and decide if you need your phone to respond or not. For all the people upset that it doesn't have the bells and whistle of a phone, have a certain tracking monitor or certain app. Then I suggest strapping your phone to your wrist or do more research on the product to find out that it has the tracking monitor or certain app you want before rushing to buy it and get upset b/c you spent money on something that didn't have what you want.

Great phone but battery dies quick and bands are very difficult to remove

that was my first watch and I really liked it.....

So far - I am really liking this watch after 4 days in. It's certainly not perfect but I am not sure what device is these days. To me so many of the reviews are based on personal opinions and preferences...so I will give you mine. First let me say I am new to smartwatches - I have owned several activity trackers and tried the Pebble Time - but did not like it at all. Samsung got many things right for me with this watch. First, it;'s actually something I like wearing - size is perfect, its really comfortable to wear and I think it looks good. I have no experience with Android Wear - and I really wanted to find an Android Wear watch but there is nothing out there that I like at all. I am very active - so I wanted something I could run, hike etc. with. So hear are my initial impressions. Great size, very comfortable, looks good UI is great - very intuitive to navigate - bezel does work really well, screen is crisp and looks good. Love the way the notifications work and easily being able to respond to them. I like the way the calendar is set up as well. I have used it for two runs and a hike so far - through the S Health app,, worked well. Two negatives here - heart rate monitor while running has been giving me inaccurate readings - it also drains the battery - so I turned it off for now - resting HR is spot on. I love the way it interacts with my Galaxy S6 - very intuitive - I really think Samsung put a lot of thought in to this - by not trying to replace the phone but more of a companion and extension of your phone. At first I was disappointed that there was not a speaker on the watch - but it does not bother me now because all the other functions work so well with my S6 - and honestly, I don't see myself carrying a conversation talking into my wrist. The lack of more good apps. is somewhat annoying right now - but I am optimistic that will change soon. I was unsure in general if I would find a smartwatch practical and useful or just another expensive gadget that you don't use after awhile. I can tell you after only 4 days - I'm getting used to it and starting to see the benefits of a smartwatch - and I think this particular watch has something to do with that.

This model is bluetooth only. It is NOT the standalone numbersync model.

Just wish it had volume to listen music and capabilities to do more

It works great. Just wish it had more options for me to work with.

Left marks on my arm I had just as tight as my Fitbit but still left marks on me in the battery life is horrible I would charge you at 10 o'clock at night I do not count nights because it should be in standby mode it would only last for 6 hours in the day and I am not a heavy user of it

The charge doesn't work I exchanged twice and still not working

I purchased the gear S for my son. I really like the different features it has. I thought that Samsung gear s2 would have more features then the older gearS. It's a watch you can receive your text on. It's not worth the money.

Strap did not last and we went to geek squad about what to do.

Nicer than the Apple watch but still not very accurate.

Maybe I am just not tech savy, but I have had a few issues

My other review is on the same watch but in a different color.

Extremely disappointed in the watch the face gets so damage easily and the functionality is very slow for some reason. I've been with Samsung since the first Galaxy and have had every phone since. But the I watch has the gear beat. Hopefully we can get a better watch to compare

The watch was not able to receive mms, but nice over all

I liked the watch but I just love the classic better.
