Reviews around look (4.40 of 5)

  • I'd recommend this watch if you looking for something simple, that nice looking, and has great battery life.
  • Nice looking watch but the BEZEL just fell off after 7 months of use.
  • There are a lot of nice looking watch faces to download and that gives me a lot of variety to choose from.
  • Dislike proprietary O/S as lack of apps and you have to stick with stock/samsung apps to get all the features.
  • Samsung's proprietary O/S gets you nothing but battery life maybe which has shrunk from 2 full days to 1 3/4 in 4 months

  • it's very light and the screen itself doesn't look damaged
  • It provides a great screen and good battery life and comfortable on the wrist
  • To tell the time, have to rotate the bezel or press a side button, taking two hands and often starting up the wrong screen or app

  • Only down side is that as others have mentioned the apps are limited as of now
  • Only down side is that as others have mentioned the apps are limited as of now
  • This SAMSUNG GEAR S2 SMARTWATCH (Dark Gray) is an interesting gadget, and works as advertised.
  • But as a smartwatch and for what I use it for, mostly fitness applications, it works and the size is just perfect!
  • My suggestion to you all is, if you must buy this watch, get it from Best Buy with a 2 year warranty and make them replace it every year when the battery starts to die as it will.

Reviews around lack (2.00 of 5)

  • Lack of apps is one weakness, app store is much smaller and folks love to charge for apps there.

Reviews around gray (1.87 of 5)

  • I went with the Classic rather than the Dark Gray because of all the horror stories of the rubber bands breaking with pieces of them getting stuck in the watch and little to no support on the part of Samsung to rectify the issue
  • Even though HR is on demand meaning you need to touch the screen to check heart rate it does not bother me as I thought it would

Reviews around voice (1.80 of 5)

  • If I include the name of the recipient in the initial command, S-Voice fails each and every time
  • It's a good smartwatch, but I bought it for easy voice control, and it does not have a quality voice control
  • S-Voice kicked back an error saying it couldn't complete the command
  • Oh, and I almost forgot, Samsung's S-Voice is just hit or miss so far in my experience (same with my GS6 Edge Plus)

Reviews around support (1.80 of 5)

  • You could end up with an unusable device and Samsung support will not assist with the unlock.
  • I have now decided that since Samsung has such an unreliable and irresponsible support system then I cannot trust them with my regular credit card information and will instead purchase a gift card to add to my Samsung account so that my exposure to their incompetence is limited.
  • Not providing support for Android proper is bad enough, Samsung doesn't even provide adequate security support for their devices.
  • Samsung support is just terrible, I had to explain to them 10 times what was going on with the watch, (I'm not exaggerating) and after ten messages they stop texting me back
  • Their technical support gave me things to try but nothing worked

Reviews around version (1.69 of 5)

  • The 2 versions of straps that came in the original boxing all got damaged
  • S-health on the Gear S2 doesn't work the same as the version on the Galaxy phone.
  • It is very disappointing to use a Samsung phone that is feature rich with google maps, Gmail, and Play, only to have a matching watch that basically forces you to use Samsung's crappier, buggier versions of google apps.
  • We don't believe there's any way to tell if the product is an international version short of having Samsung validate the serial number on the watch
  • I have tried the cheaper version and all it did was mess up my phone this watch as well worth the

  • I'm with T-Mobile and so its only an extra $5 a month and TOTALLY worth it
  • Bands broke the first month, not worth the price, customer service is terrible

Reviews around phone numb (1.00 of 5)

  • at least 2 or 3 different versions of the Gear S2.Mine is the standalone capable model with its own phone number

  • Also, this watch has phone number and I will loose my phone couple of weeks.
  • I was told by Verizon once I received the watch to contact Verizon sales for them to assign the watch a seperate phone number.
  • Apparently the watch interfaces with the cellular system, so you need to buy another phone number.
