I bought this Geek Squad certified Samsung Gear Live watch knowing it's Samsung's first watch on the Android Wear OS. So far, I am very pleased with it and it works very well. I can read my emails without having to take out my phone, and i can respond by just speaking. Same works for text messages. As it provides all notifications that show up on your phone, I am on top of things without being obviously reading my phone. It basically also shows the info card on your Google Now, and provides driving time to normal destinations, weather, and a growing number of apps for Google Wear watches. I love that there are many face watch choices available. It also measures your heartrate and number of steps you've made during the day.

but I just couldn't.
I walk 7 to 10 miles around 6 days a week and wanted something like this to work in conjunction with my LG G3. And, it did., Loved what the watch could do for me and even without any type of set up guide given, it was an easy setup. I just couldn't get past the bulkiness of the watch and stiffness of the strap. Looked at changing the strap and even though it has a quick release strap, nothing would fit perfectly like the original band. Many things I loved about this watch, including the fact that it ran Android Wear but couldn't get past the overall look and fit. Will definitly buy another Android Wear watch at some point.

I love the look of this wearable. I swapped the band for leather and now it looks like a real watch. It may not be a standalone like the S2 but I actually prefer this smart watch over the newer ones. I prefer using Andriod Wear over Gear for Samsung. I'm more of a Google fan.
My purchase was a refurbished item (under $100) and is now sold out. It was worth the money.

It pushes whatsapp,sms,emails to your wrist which is real handy (bad pun intended). Also, keeps you updated on weather alerts, traffic conditions (with the maps feature). It also tracks your daily activity and sleep which although not very accurate is still reasonable. You can reject calls straight from the watch, if you need to do so and with the google Now feature can change songs (on Google Music) while driving or re-route the maps. You also get games' Scores and there are a lot of other fun apps you could use. Great Buy !!

I'm a simple guy who likes his notifications without having to take my phone out to check. This fits the bill and lets me know exactly who is calling/texting.
Very easy to use, the swiping is pretty smooth, I like having the "Ok Google" available whenever I need it.
I got this from BB as a 2x Gear Live refurb deal. Both are in good working condition with light cosmetic issues.

The item from best buy was delivered on time and in like new condition the price was great, my only disappointment is with samsung. The watch is not compatible with certain samsung apps on my note 5. I had to use aftermarket apps. If you don't care about that or are using another andriod product, this is for you.

Samsung's only Android Wear watch is well worth the money. It makes great use of Google Now and syncs well with my S5. As expected, battery life is the only shortcoming, making it about 18 hours at a time.

The galaxy line of watch's sticks the program on them is the strangest to manipulate and is not as cut and dry as the Gear live and android wear OS. Google cares about there software more than Samsung's touch whiz or any other manufacturers OS over lay. ANDROID WEAR is Google's official smart watch and will compete against apple directly Samsung Galaxy falls short. One thing about this watch that is upsetting is my inability to upgrade to version 5.0.

Love the easy interface and being able to have bits of info quick at hand.
So far the Messages function doesn't work.
When trying to tell Google to send a message it shows up as sent on both watch and device but it sends the sms with a 011 (country code ) at the beginning making it not send through the carrier to recipient.
That's just an android wear issue though.
Watch overall is great and looks great on your wrist

This is a great watch and I got the sale price of 2 refurbished watches for $150, you cant beat that at all since they are $199 each brand new.
