GREAT WATCH BUT NOW THE BAND FALLS OFF ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Rating: 5
I've had this watch for over a year now I believe, and now the band falls off all the time. the band isn't ripped or anything, just the little pin that pushes in to both sides of the watch face won't stay on.I am not happy about not being able to wear it. Can someone please help me?

Beautiful!

I love this watch. I've been through a few smartwatches and always returned to the gear fit due to the size and shape. I then upgraded to the s2 for the functionality. This watch is the perfect mix of the two. The notifications, the agenda and the health features and exactly what I need. The classic feels much lighter than the s2 and the ridges on the bezel make it easier for me to use. But what I love is the look, it is gorgeous!

love this new piece of Tech
Rating: 5
I was very skeptical at first about getting a smart watch saying i would hardly use it. So recently i won a Gear s2 and been using it fr a few days. WOW what a gadget, HOW DID I SURVIVE WITHOUT this assistant on my hand giving me all my notifications on my wrist. Thanks a Million SAMSUNG. Now just waiting for my Free tablet to get here lol.

Samsung classic smart watch
Rating: 5
Hello Everyone, I have written before about things. I am not tech savvy and I don't really don't use my Samsung galaxy 6 edge the way that I am supposed to, but I love the combination of both my watch and phone together. I can't hear my phone all the time and missed 2 emergency calls. I bought the smart watch so that I don't miss anything. I can tell you it goes off with all notifications that are on my phone. I can program everything and anything and my watch lets me know. I realize that it sounds lazy but I have been able to program things for my job also. It vibrates and is non-intrusive. Not like the notification from the phone. Also, I can not carry my phone on my person at work... THIS IS AWESOME !!!!! My only thing against the watch is that there seems to be no thought process to women. The watch bands are either black or brown. I actually ordered one on the market that I changed it to. I would have like to have the Samsung brand to complete the watch and be able to change it easily. I hope that they consider this for their accessories soon.

This is truly a smart watch!
Rating: 5
Without looking garish and futuristic, this Gear S2 Classic truly is a smart watch. From turning it on for the first time, it links seamlessly with my Galaxy Note5 and complements it perfectly. The display is bright and clear, the apps from mail to uber are a joy to use. And all at the same time it looks like a proper watch. As an added bonus, it is water resistant. The battery life is excellent. So far I have managed 3 days without having to recharge the battery, and that's without setting it to greyscale mode.

I put my Swiss Timepieces on the shelf
Rating: 5
I would consider myself a watch enthusiast and collector with many Swiss Made high end timepieces. I have been waiting a long time for a smart watch that I could wear alone on my wrist instead of a watch on my left and a fitness band on my right. The Samsung Gear S2 Classic gives me both in a beautiful package and thousands less than any other watch in my collection. Well Done Samsung!!!!!

Almost Very Happy
Rating: 4
I am really pleased with the Gear S2 Classic. First and foremost, I wanted a good watch. I have already changed the band to one more of my liking. I usually have my phone with me anyway, and have basically been using in standalone mode, and get 3-4 days of battery before the next charging. It's snappy and responsive. There are a minimum set of apps that I have installed and use. I don't see me using a browser or even a map on my wrist since I have my phone. However, I would like to see in a future update...give the option for the watch to wake up to the last app open and in use!!! In other words, I use my stopwatch and timer quite often...it's a pain for the watch to come on, and the clock face is there and then I have to dig to open the app in use. I'd like to be able to open up and see some apps like timer or stopwatch greet me when the watch wakes up. This was a feature available in the Galaxy Gear S (original). Better way to access recent apps, like 2 finger option on Gear S1. Maybe ability to swap top and bottom physical buttons for functionality. Also, what's the deal with S-Health? Is there no way to sync up with my phone? A standalone compass would be nice, if possible with hardware. Otherwise, happy with my purchase.

Great Watch
Rating: 4
The watch is great. The only down fall to me is the price. I feel that the tech. Side of it will improve in time so the price that you pay for it now might not be worth it since you are spending more than what you pay for a cell phone upfront. For the price you do wish it could do more. But it does have a lot of positives as far as uploading and controlling music and pictures. Tracks your health. The faces are the best, there's something out there for everyone. And the faces itself have unique programs.

very useful, notifications add value , no interruption created meanwhile your are in meetings, remote control in case that you need to open an application, application like health care will also get conscious about time sitting or walking for health sake , price is fare based on alll bennefits in your wrist

Currently all the designs reflect a more masculine style. It would be nice to have something like a rose gold to reflect a feminine style.

Great Watch
Rating: 5
The new samsung watch is awesome. A great improvement of the first edition I had which worked great until after 2 1/2 years which didn't stay charged for over 4 hrs. Any how, the new watch works like it should and has the features I like. I would get it again.

Free floors
Rating: 3
The first couple of months this watch was great, but for some reason after a software update the floors climbed started going up (even when the watch is in the cradle charging).. I would get 2-300 floors in a day without actually going up a single flight of stairs.. apparently this is an ongoing problem since it still to this day (2 years later) has not been fixed.. (you can even see in the image I added.. 39 floors today.. haven't gone up a single flight of stairs)

Great watch, but...
Rating: 3
i like the watch, but it really gripes me when they do updates that wipe out all my settings! especially when i have to re-validate samsung pay accounts. plus i can't find the watch faces that i previously purchased! i'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing any more of the watch faces. and i spent over three hours today trying to get everything set up again.

great smartwatch, not so great fitness watch
Rating: 2
I so wanted to love this watch. The display is amazing, the apps work seemlessly, and email and notifications come right through and easy to read. Even taking a call is easy and others say they can't tell I am talking on a watch. Well, that is where the accolades end. Those are the reasons I gave it 2 stars because it was perfect in all those areas, just don't buy it for a fitness watch. Step counting is horrible. I get up and walk the copier and back = 0 steps. I am averaging about 3000 steps less than fitbit or garmin PER DAY. Also, when I take my runs or walks about 50% of the time the heart rate stops recording all together. Yes I know how to wear the watch as I have owned several garmins and suunto watches in the past. Looking online this is a common problem. Really thought this was going to be my go to watch. Photo enclosed showing how the heart rate just stops in workouts. Had problems with both the samsung app and trying to use map my run. Both had the same issues. I'll be taking mine back!
