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.

Beautiful watch. I love the fact that it doesn't look like a smart watch. The rotating bezel is the best for navigating the menus

The watch is a great addition to the phone. You can customize the watch faces and even include a picture of your own very easily. The only problem I can see for it is that the band (it is white in my case) can get dirty really easy so it looks dirty. The battery last all day with no problems at all. And the capability to control the camera of the phone with it is nice. I really like this one over the apple watch.

My first smart watch, its really smart in terms of all the info is on my wrist itself. I can read the sms and mail too. But the most liking feature is "watch faces" you can choose daily a new dial.
Just one more request to Samsung: put the call and speaker feature also in it, so that i never have to get my phone out of my pocket :)

This watch is Great, with lots of faces and apps. Reading text messages and emails have never been easier. I get compliment on it all day, even from the hater apple fans. The battery life is GREAT!!! Seems like it only uses 15% a day and I have it set to the brightest setting. I shouldn't give it 5 stars because in the last 2 weeks while playing with the unit it completely froze. I had to reboot the unit and by pushing both buttons on the side at the same time. Love this watch!

I recently purchased the gear S2 watch thinking it might be the same as the previous models that samsung introduced in the past. Little did I know it was truly an upgrade from the previous models for example: it looks just like a normal sports watch for starters, the bezel moves very smooth without any interruption, plus the customizable display is great you can choose between tons of clock displays and different notifications from any app on your phone. Love my gear S2 watch!

A Watch with many Hats

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!

I got the gear s2 little over 2 months ago and it still impresses me. The durability is great and I love that I can modify it to suit my needs. I use it in conjunction with my note 4. Before getting it I couldn't stand the s health app on my note4 but now use it daily. My gear s2 has helped me realize new fitness goals and I use my gear s2 with samsung's level u wireless headphones while at the gym. I would recommend it to anyone venturing into wearable tech.

My husband bought me this watch for Christmas and I absolutely love it. Originally I just wanted a new fitness tracker because my Fit-bit died, he wanted me to look at this watch and see if this is something I would like. Of course I fell in love with it when I saw all it would do. It is great for fitness tracking and much much more. I would defiantly recommend this watch if you are looking for a smart watch.

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 had been reluctant to buy a smart watch due to mediocre reviews and I am glad I did wait because this watch does everything I need it to, well. I use it, along with my Bluetooth headphones to answer calls without fishing around in my pocket for my phone and talking hands free while I'm driving. I like the ease of accessing my apps with the rotating bezel and the integrated fitness information.

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.

Great watch. I used it for many more things than tracking steps and reminding me to get up when I sit too long. 2 best things for me were the ability to set the home button to my timer. I use my timer constantly every day. The other is the notification when it disconnects from my phone. Left my phone in a fitting room at Macys on a busy Fri night and never would have known until I was at my next stop if the watch had not buzzed. I immediately knew where I left it and there was already someone else in there. I hit "find my phone" and it played music so she couldn't deny my phone was in there. This watch saved my new Galaxy S8 Plus! The bands were the only issue I had with this Watch. They were EXTREMELY difficult to remove. Also, the rubber bands ripped off the connector pieces many times. I had to purchase 6 or 7 replacement bands. Even the Samsung rep who helped me the day I bought it had a hard time changing the band to the smaller one for me. Otherwise, loved my Gear S2 and had no other problems!

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.

I had the Asus Zenwatch and loved it but chose this one because it's more girly I like it also. Love the docking charger so extremely easy to charge. I'm still figuring out the texting function, though. The Zen watch was easier to use that way
