Was hard to keep Facebook linked up, wish it would update the steps automatically with the phone. If you are going to sell a watch like this make sure that you also have the accessories to go with it, still looking for the watch bands and protective cover.

Bought this when Best Buy had it on sale for $250 as a Christmas gift for my mom. She loves everything Samsung so when I purchased the Apple Watch for me, I had to get this for her. She loves her watch, wears it everywhere she goes. It's easy to use and looks good on the wrist. As long as she likes it, I like it.

Battery life is terrible

I am not necessarily into having the newest gadgets but I am really enjoying my new watch. I upgrades from a fit bit. I enjoy being able to see whose calling and send rejection messages, text, see my email, etc. However I can barely wear for 16-18 hours without my battery completely draining. I close my apps, the Wi-Fi is off. I hate that. Maybe I have a defective product. I have geek squad protection so I am going to take it back to the store for them to check it over and possibly exchange. I have only had it for about three weeks. I cannot track my sleep if I have to leave it charging all night. Would have rated it higher if battery life was better.

This watch is perfect in every way. I like the user interface. The size, the feel and the battery life are great .. My only issue is Sprint does not offer the 3G version so you can not make calls and there is no speaker. However if you purchase the Verizon (without a plan) version you can use. Also, the memory (4G) not too sure how I feel about it considering the apps (some of which you can not delete, at least I haven't figured out) take up half of the 4G provided. Not sure how much flexibility you have to customize? and does it impact response time?

I really like this watch. The display is beautiful and the rotating bezel is what sets this watch apart, the most.
However, the fact that it's only water resistant is a real bummer. The lack of apps that Samsung offers is also somewhat discouraging. They really need to get up to par with AndoidWear.
The biggest discouragement with this watch is the inability to speak through it during a phone call. That was a deal breaker for me

Son has used it more than we all thought as he can check his messages and reply to some without being a distraction to a room full of people. He's able to check things without it being so blatantly noticeable.he loves it and we are happy with our choice because we had so much help from the Best Buy salesman.

It's a good watch. I love it. The bezel is amazing. I don't like that I have to download apps on my phone them download the gear version. Too much effort but other than that I like it. May get the other one so I can talk. Bought a qwerty keyboard

This thing is truly amazing.
Navigation on wrist with vibration for turn indications.

Has a find your phone feature.
It can initiate and answer calls, but you can NOT talk to someone threw the watch.
A whole bunch of great custom watch faces.
Weather, Heart Rate, Step Counter, and countless apps.
Battery Last all day can go 2 with out extreme navigation use ( i drive a lot and use it a lot).
No connections for charging just put on charge pad quick and easy less to break..
A Life Changing Device.
Love It

Love being able to adjust the face display to match my mood. Easy to use . Tracking of steps seems a little off, but not the end of my world. Love that it connects to my via WiFi when I forget my phone; I still receive and respond to texts and email. I have a small wrist and the band fits me nicely.

Got the watch for my wife and she loved it from the start. She sync it with her Galaxy Edge and she has told me how helpful it has been especially during driving. No more looking through cluttered handbag for phone. All is now on the wrist.

This is my second Samsung Gear watch, the first was the Gear 2 Neo. I love the round face, the fact that it is stainless steal and is dressier for me, and that it actually doesn't look huge on my tiny wrist. The additional features and apps have been a plus, and I really like the wireless charging.

Second time I have bought this watch... Gave the Apple combination a try, phone and apple watch, but came back to Samsung and Andriod....
Great Smart Watch and I would recommend to anyone in the market for this type of connected device.

I have a Samsung gear 2 and I was looking forward to getting this watch with round shape. I am very disappointed. After a week of use.. my gear 2 has more functions and features then this watch which was very surprising. Why would samsung remove the speaker from the watch? I can take phone calls on my older watch without having to take the phone out. And when I reject a phone call I had an option to reject the call with pre selected messages.
Overall. I would say the design is good. But moto 360 2 looks better and does the same thing.

Very engaging, visually attractive, and customizable. Used for everything from answering phone calls to tracking fitness goals, sending/receiving text to voice prompts. Great for tracking daily movements to be more active and monitoring heart rate, water intake and steps taken. Customizable directly from smartphone or smartwatch itself. Change watch face, add/remove apps,

I tried one of the basic FitBit devices but quickly realized I wanted more features. It's not as focused on the health side of things, but notifies me when I receive an email, text or calendar notification without having to look at my phone. Nice when driving, all you have to do is take a quick look at the watch and then decide what and if you need to respond to. Charge time is a bit short... 2 to 3 days max. But charges fast and you don't have to plug it in... just set it on it's charging pad. Tons of free watch faces to choose from and many more for a couple bucks. I use it on the Samsung S5 and works great.

This watch is beneficial. It only lacks the ability to talk because it has no microphone. It's neat that you have a bunch of different choices for the faces and you can switch the bands. I like how you can use it to find your phone
