Amazing watch
Rating: 5
I bought this watch in May, and used it for my entire internship, I love the clicky turn wheel, and every app that was preloaded into the watch. The notifications on my phone allow me to keep the ringtone off, and still get them without notifying everyone around me, and texting people on here is a breeze. I have gone swimming with this multiple times, and not had a single issue.

Bought it with my note 10+ they work flawlessly together and it does everything I need it to do also it being water resistant is an added bonus. Only thing I changed was the band to a metal one they are more comfortable to me and look better

Checked off all the boxes for me.
Rating: 5
I've been researching all the available fitness trackers on the market, trying to narrow the field down a bit to make an educated decision. I made a list of must-haves to assist me in the process. This one checked off all the boxes. I was leaving heavily towards the Fitbit Ionic, Garmin Forerunner 245, & Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro towards the end. So far, I'm very happy with my decision. I love how sporty it looks, how simple & intuitive it is to navigate with bezel or via touch on the fly, the all metal, yet lightweight build quality, and the ability to use it WITHOUT MY PHONE to listen to music on my earbuds & even pay at NFC enabled registers using Samsung Pay. Great device.

A sidekick for your phone!
Rating: 5
Having a gear sport is like having a sidekick for your phone. You view and reply to messages without pulling your phone out of your pocket. You can answer and decline calls as well. You can set reminders and track your fitness, which I think is really cool, I never get to skip a beat. Ultimately it is syncronized with your phone, so it makes your life easier.

Better than expected for fitness tracking.
Rating: 5
I was looking for something to replace my old fitness tracker. I hadn't thought to look at the Samsung gear initially but had recently read up on the gear sport which was more up my alley as far as needs. I don't really care about taking calls from my wrist so the fact that it doesn't have cellular isn't a big deal at all. I went with this over another specialized fitness tracker due to utility apps. I've been hiking and doing walks with the watch. GPS seems to be accurate and step counter seems to be more accurate that my previous tracker which would log steps while I was sitting and moving my arms around. The gear doesn't seem nearly as sensitive. Battery life is decent. I can get about 3 1/2 days with light use. When I use GPS regularly (every day, about 30-45 mins), It's been averaging about a day less. Even though it's smaller than the gear S3, this thing is still pretty large. I've always liked larger watches but it may be a bit much for women who want something small and discreet. There wasn't an option to order a specific band size and from looking at the back of this one, it's labeled as a large. Assuming that's what the "L" means. I'm by no means a small woman but I have slender wrists. This band fits nicely on the 2nd to last hole. If you're a very small woman or child, this large band may not fit even on the last hole. Overall, the quality and finish of the watch is awesome. The display is bright and the touch response is very good. It's easy to install and navigate through the apps. Being able to change the face displays is a fun feature. Plenty of free ones available and then pay ones if you want to go that route. The Spotify app on this watch is just sweet. I am a bit disappointed that I won't be able to use Samsung pay. It would be great if you could use it on other Samsung android devices outside of their flagships and also include the functionality on other manufacturer android phones. At any rate, it's not a deal breaker since it wasn't a main reason for purchasing. I'm loving this watch so far. Hoping it holds up for a while.

I had bought this about 3 months ago. This is a great watch. They kind of had a bad things with battery draining earlier this week. But instead of writing a bad review like a lot of other people. I waited it out and boom its fixed.. Everything on here is extremely practical and its simplistic. The sleek design of it and the apps. It is fantastic watch. It is everything I wanted and more. I have already recommended this watch to people.

Sporty & Classy
Rating: 5
This watch is beyond all expectations. I have had android wear watches since 2014 (LG, Sony, and Motorola) This is my first samsung watch / my first experience with Tizen and so far its basically the same except for the lack of my "hey Google" commands.... which i never really used to begin with. Spotify/Downloading my playlists directly to my watch works flawlessly. Wifi connectivity is amazing, and has a great range. i can leave my phone (pixel) at my desk or in the gym locker and just have my watch and headphones on me and never miss anything when connected to wifi. The size/shape is perfect. I normally prefer a square face watch because of the fit when working out, but this watch is thin and has a rounded square shape which makes not feel like it is going to interfere with my wrist. also it is very light and feels great. The battery is great. i'm usually at 50% by the time i go to bed, and i have the screen always on. i am still getting used to the UI but so far its been easy.

Love this watch!!
Rating: 5
This is my first smart/fitness watch and I absolutely love it! I have read some reviews on poor battery life but in my opinion the battery life is actually quite well. I can go about three days before having to charge it (from what I hear that's much longer than an apple watch). As far as tracking, I use this watch everyday to run and regardless of running on a treadmill vs. outside it does a pretty good job! One caveat for running on a treadmill though is to make sure you turn off GPS or it will stop tracking. The only complaint I have about it is that I noticed the volume tends to be a bit lower than when I connect my wireless headphones to my phone. A volume control would be extremely beneficial! Other than that, highly recommend!

First smart watch and lovin it
Rating: 5
I bought the Samsung Gear sport watch as a spontaneous by but it has proven to be one of the most useful, stylish as well as convenient accessories. Also, I truly believe that it is one of Samsung's finest products. SI many watch faces that you can get free of charge or unsurpassed and the changing of the colors is spectacular. Quite honestly, I can't say enough good about the Samsung as well as their gear S3 sport smartwatch

I got this along with Galaxy note 10. It has a great feature. But, functions aren't variable.
