Reviews around size (4.23 of 5)

  • It's the right size to look like a real watch rather than a smart device strapped to your wrist.
  • S-Voice kicked back an error saying it couldn't complete the command
  • Like the size of this watch, not as big as the s3, nicer for smaller wrists
  • The band is comfortable to wear and the face of the watch is the perfect size.
  • The watch itself is extremely comfortable and feels like a regular watch, the screen is a nice size but overall the watch is pretty slim

Reviews around feature (4.01 of 5)

  • Samsung has some good features on the watch, but more can be made to make it great
  • Love this watch, super buy, enjoying features, great look.
  • 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.
  • The watch is supposed to use gyroscopic measures to wake up when you raise your wrist, but this feature has been inconsistent and laggy at best
  • This watch is missing 2 features that really lile about my gear neo...

Reviews around product (3.91 of 5)

  • Samsung Canada support will not honor it even with the overwhelming number of people stating the product is defective.
  • A great product for the money, especially if you have a Samsung phone.
  • Great product however if you buy it and expect it to work perfectly you will be dissappointed
  • This product is overpriced and underdelivers on every front.
  • 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

Reviews around battery drain (2.15 of 5)

  • Shortly after the latest I started to notice the battery draining faster for no reason on random days
  • I sent it to the Samsung and they were unable to repair the watch or honor the warranty as they did not have the parts or the software to fix it.
  • You can set as many notifications as you'd like from your phone (which I do), but you can't access them directly on the watch
  • it doesnt die in one day but the battery drains to the point where i have to charge it just about every night so that it can last me the second day as well without dying halfway through the day.
  • The only downside to this smartwatch is that the battery drains so quickly

Reviews around lack (2.00 of 5)

  • I sent it to the Samsung and they were unable to repair the watch or honor the warranty as they did not have the parts or the software to fix it.
  • Only down side is that as others have mentioned the apps are limited as of now
  • Anyway, that's just my impression.- Lack of apps: can be an issue... there are more watch faces than apps.
  • 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
  • Lack of apps is one weakness, app store is much smaller and folks love to charge for apps there.

Reviews around voice (1.80 of 5)

  • S-Voice was beaten soundly and in some cases failed miserably
  • It's a good smartwatch, but I bought it for easy voice control, and it does not have a quality voice control
  • Tizen is capable but in desperate need of support for the long game and S-Voice for the watch is definitely in need of an upgrade as Google Now crushes it easily
  • I have to say I really like this watch, it performs exactly as I expected, it links to my
  • If you're used to having robust voice commands at your disposal or if you're buying your first smartwatch with the intention of using this feature, the S2 isn't for you

Reviews around support (1.80 of 5)

  • Great device, the platform just is lacking app support.
  • You could end up with an unusable device and Samsung support will not assist with the unlock.
  • Their technical support gave me things to try but nothing worked
  • Not providing support for Android proper is bad enough, Samsung doesn't even provide adequate security support for their devices.
  • Samsung has no other support for it, so in otherwords a waste of 300dollars.

  • 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
  • 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.
  • I've been using the 'classic' version of the S2 for about a month and have really been pleased with the purchase
  • I have tried the cheaper version and all it did was mess up my phone this watch as well worth the

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
  • I was told by Verizon once I received the watch to contact Verizon sales for them to assign the watch a seperate phone number.
  • $350 at AT&T store with Sim card which means its own phone number
  • Apparently the watch interfaces with the cellular system, so you need to buy another phone number.
  • Also, this watch has phone number and I will loose my phone couple of weeks.
