Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Gear S2 Smartwatch 42mm Stainless Steel - Black Elastomer

So in an attempt to get my fat self up and walking, I decided to by a wearable fitness tracker. Having experience with two different models of fitbit, I wanted to check this one out. Finding it refurbished at $150 was a fair price so I gave it ago. My first few days with this new toy, err, fitness tracker, were great.. Then somewhere around the week mark, two things happened - My watch stopped counting steps and the strap broke. (arg) - So I took this watch back to best buy and looked again at what was available. After getting a full refund, I found out that BB was now selling this watch for $99 - So I reluctantly gave it another try. So my second watch came in and within 8 hours, the watch band broke. Examining it closely I noticed it failed in the same place the first one did - the plastic/silicone interface. I work in an office and no I didn't catch it on anything, I just flexed my wrist and pop.... Luckily, I found a Black SS band from another vender. I've worn this thing everyday for the last month and a half. The watch hasn't failed, the aftermarket band hasn't failed and I've lost 12 pounds. So all in all I love the watch - If not for the sub par design of the band, I would have given this four stars.

Pros: watch is very sleek and comfortable. Its very attractive on a male arm but seems ro be a couple of mm large for a womans wrist. Rotary trim seems to be very sturdy and durable. Battery will last 4 days with normal usage and charges very quickly. There is an aftermarket band adapter that would have made this a 5 star if it was included. Cons: wristband that came with watch was very small. There are a limited number of bands to buy . In powersave mode screen is too dim to see in outside light. Samsung pay needs to be loaded individually to watch. If you replace your phon. Watch has to be factory reset to sync up ( which means youll lose your watch faces.

Great smart watch.long battery life.big touch screen for perfect view.it is also sleek for worn.

I unfortunately didn't read the reviews about the Geek Squad before I made this purchase, I wish I had. I have had the watch less than 5 days before while wearing it the staps broke. I called Geek Squad and was told to go to the store where they will exchange the item for one that is not defective. After going to the store, wasting time that I will never get back, I was told my only option was to return the item and purchase a new one. I guess they really don't stand behind their refurbished products. I wanted the watch after upgrading from the Gear Fit and was willing to get a replacement band, but that option was not offered and when I offered it was told it could not be done. Worst experience ever, first and last refurbished Geek Squad item for me.

I wish I could give a more detailed review but I cannot since I lost the watch a week after I picked it up due to the band breaking and it falling off while out & about. I pointed out that the band was still damaged on this refurbed unit and the salesperson said the band wasn't included in the refurbishment. I was going to purchase a new band with the difference I received on a Best Buy gift card for the price matching after I saw the exact same watch on sale within a week of ordering mine.

The watch software wasn't working. Got an error as soon as I booted it up. Scratches all over, band was broken at the glue, band was not Samsung brand, only came with a small size band and a large band.

Great watch, exactly as described and super fast shipping.

I love this watch!!! I can receive emails, text messages and social media notifications right on my wrist. I love that you can change the band to match whatever outfit your rocking.... I can track steps, calories burned and exercise activities with the S Health app with one touch if a button. The only little negative with this watch is that I wish there were more activities to choose from in the S Health app!!! I am really glad I ordered this watch and it has really opened my eyes when it comes to my health!
