Great device, the platform just is lacking app support.

Nice apps.

And having a Tap and Pay feature, with no compatible apps is a HUGE error on Samsung's part

Can read emails from Gmail app and Inbox app, as well as Samsung's Email app

There are a lot of junky apps for this

The apps are a JOKE!!

The biggest drawback regarding the apps, is that they are tied to your smartphone.

I wish it had more free apps

but the apps are much better

The other apps are fun and a lot of them are quite useful on a watch

(I have a Samsung phone), Samsung Health is a great fitness tracking app that records vital health information, continual heart rate measurements, pairs nicely with any 20mm band, calendar display is amazing, gets call alerts that can be either answered or denied from the watch face, great screen with adjustable brightness and many different smart backgrounds to choose from, rotating bezel controls navigation in apps, very smart design!Cons: Bezel paint tarnished even with attention to properly caring for product (did not expose to water, chemicals, etc.), alarm function is not strong enough to wake me up (but is useful for reminders during the day)

If they got more apps/made development easier for the devs then I'd give it 5 stars

My husband got it for me as a Christmas present December 2015 and I absolutely love the bevel and the apps and the step counting

Would give the 3g/4g version FIVE stars since some things are still a bit quirky and would like more apps on the phone to work from the watch..

I have tried multiple GPS settings, as well as different apps (Nike+ and S Health).

There are no useful apps because Samsung thought they produce their own s***ty OS

Great watch but horrible apps.

very nice watch but limited apps.

Just follow the instructions, trust me) and get it going, it's a nice app to get customized watch face's

I live in a hot climate and I'm finding my wrist very sweaty pretty much all the time.- White band (rose gold version) is easily dirtied and the pins to remove the bands are so stiff that I broke a portion of my nail off trying to change from the large to small band- Limited app selection, especially for free apps

Can't sync this watch, or its apps, with many popular apps

Despite what many critics call a relative lack of available apps, it's really a cool gadget

I love the little apps and the fitness info that it gives me

The apps are limited and it would be really nice to have google maps when you are in a city.

Pretty much any app on your phone is available on the watch (not counting games, of course).

To add insult to injury, from looking online in a futile attempt to get it working on my phones, I found that the app actively detects root and refuses to run

The apps are somewhat limited but it tells time and looks fantastic, which is what I was after

Wish it had more useful apps

The stock keyboard that comes with it is a pain, but the Agile app is much better to use in my opinion

Had hardly any good apps, only have like 2 choices for a band and really isn't water-proof.

Why the heck I can't put all the apps I want in the list of favorites?Find phone is great

Due to Samsung's decisions to run Tizen, many apps on your ANDROID phone will not be compatible with the watch, which also brings me to another annoyance

I set "music" to be my first app when i swipe to the left for quick access

Great watch but horrible apps.

But the apps that are available are good

Customization of backgrounds is practically infinite, vibration works great, screen is very touch responsive and precise, lots of cool apps that go with it, heart rate monitor very accurate

This gives for very limited app ssupport

and you can arrange apps as you like

Also, trying clearing running apps before a workout.

Only downside is I feel that the apps are pretty limited but other than that its sexy smart watch

When I calmed down I downloaded the app which insisted on downloading more apps, which I deleted, keeping the initial

The biggest drawback regarding the apps, is that they are tied to your smartphone.

LOTS of available watch faces to customize the display withCons: Band seems a little on the small side (but is quality material), VERY limited apps from Samsung right now.

and you would be in your favorite app

As for apps, people complain that there are not enough apps

Hopefully more apps become compatible with it but other than that the watch is great.

All the apps really work great although I do wish there were more.

My one complaint is that the Tizen operating system will never have the kind of developer interest that Android Wear has, leaving the Gear S2 behind the curve when it comes to functionality with many popular apps.

He especially likes the apps and the pedometer features

Anywho - I bought this because I was tired of fitness trackers with less than stellar fitness apps.

I had a Samsung Gear Neo that had an amazing running app and for whatever reason this watch uses a *HORRIBLE* Nike running app

While the watch has preloaded options for the background, and free app is available to make a custom background with almost any picture

Many additional apps available.

Love all the features and with more and more apps coming available this is a great product

The apps available are kinda low class and amateurish and the variety is lacking.

Excellent screen, intuitive apps and looks very nice.

I disabled all the news apps, I don't want that sort of data downloading automatically, and I do wish it used and interfaced with Google maps instead

I had disabled the Samsung health app on my phone, but on my wrist, I appreciate the step counter and activity monitor a lot more

Poor app selection

And having a Tap and Pay feature, with no compatible apps is a HUGE error on Samsung's part

While I feel the apps are sorely lacking that the developers issues

Not to impressed with the timer feature which I use a lot in my work but the apps like map my run is great and this has

Large set of useful apps with one

The S2 Classic rotating bezel is a true innovation that will surely be copied by others but the Tizen operating system, to date, lacks some very practical apps easily found on other Android compatible watches.

Easy app interface

The watch comes preloaded with certain popular widgets and apps, and you can add to them or delete them however you prefer

The apps work great and the charging station is so incredibly easy to use.

You can download a free app that can use your pictures as a face

App availability and support on the other hand sucks badly

I bought it for the size, not too big or thick, I love the apps especially for fitness tracking.

Less App Support Than Android WearNo Camera

The apps and games could definitely improve, but I can only seeing this product get better as time goes on

; apps are decent - I don't need a lot - will probably never use for games

It does sync to the Nike App however the Nike app is only good for individual workouts not all day monitoring

Not enough apps

We love the SHealth app which pulses the watch when you've been inactive awhile and gets you up and moving

However, I find that I have more than enough apps to find enough uses on the watch.

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

, i thought there would be more apps available for

He hasn't found a smart remote app for the TV but that would be a game changer- no more lost remotes!

Looks like an actual watch, feels good to wear, appropriate size for small wrists (hard to find among smart watches!), great apps that connect with phone

Wished that there were more apps available

(lasts about a day)-went on a little walking and started a workout automaticallyCons-hardly any apps worth using-must use the default messaging app phone to send messages on watchOverall a really good watch highly suggest getting.

Many had complained that there were not enough apps on here I really don't know what else they want their watch to do

The apps are easy to access and you can customize what apps you'd like to have direct access to-- widgets, basically

If there is a problem it is that I cannot access some of my favorite Android apps on this watch

Great apps.

, stylishCons :Not android OS so apps are limited to Galaxy StoreNot enough customizationYou can't change the default search or messanger appBlack scratches easily

Two family members have also purchased this watch because they seen all the cool apps in it.

Voice to text just doesn't work as it comes

You can hear the glass creaking as you wear it

It freezes at least once a

Only down side is that as others have mentioned the apps are limited as of now

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

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.

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

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.

Works exactly as I want it to, except doesn't have a Starbucks app which the Fitbit ionic and versa do
