Samsung - Gear S2 Smartwatch

[Sevanw]

Obviously you don't understand. Just drop it.

Well let's see, you thought a one of a kind year old watch with a curved screen was called the Gear S2, then you stopped wearing it at 3 months because it was pointless to wear, and instead of selling it, you put it away to collect dust. Then you thought this new thread was talking about your same year old watch, when the link shows the brand spanking new round watch. You're right, I don't understand, but at the same time, I understand your post just pefectly.

Was told today that the 3G version has been delayed. The Samsung rep told the AT&T Store that she was advised there was a short delay of perhaps a couple weeks.

Kinda bummed me out but I suppose I can wait to spend more money

Just picked up a s2 today, lovely bit of kit, one issue tho, the pics don't actually shoe it's true size, it's a lot smaller in person than on screen on a website. And I've never seen size mentioned on any review. Bar that it's excellent.

Yeah enjoying mine as well. Had it a few weeks

love the rotating bezel..works really well. Like how my watch wakes up when I get a notification without need to look at it.

Size wise yeah it isn't too big but feels like a normal watch.

Important question, text messages away from my home wifi are hit and miss. Even if there is a bt connection. Am I doing something wrong? There seems to be a few threads about it. Bar that, it seems to work fine. Does the voice control not work over bt either.

Think I'm sorted, smart relay has to be off, and phone screen needs to be off as well.. boy is it convenient to get a text on yer wrist lol

Quick report 2 days in, I love.it, it looks fantastic, I can go 100 yds from my phone and still be connected. Battery life is immense, i unplugged it at 6am this morn, have been messing with it on and off all day, and it's still on 72% , 2 full days seem a given. It's so fast and fluid and the UI works a treat. Bar one lad saying I bought the wrong one because I didn't get an eINK pebble with 5 days battery life, the response from everyone including ifans has been overwhelmingly positive. So more than happy.
My plan was to.keep my armani dress watch for best, but in truth, I don't want to take it off lol

I've read in a lot of reviews at least 1.5 days, but at this rate, 2 days shud be comfortable, which is fantastic. Maybe tizen wasn't the worst option after all.

A couple of questions, I have the WiFi model, I realise the watch connects via BT, at home I can use the voice Inputs. Does it use.the home wifi to create a network as out of the home it doesn't work.
Plus, the call option from the phone, I can make my phone rings someone via the watch, then talk into the handset and they can hear me, but I can't hear them.as there is no microphone , is this right? Over BTW can you just transfer simple data and sms's.
Plus out of the home, the maps app, doesn't like to lock into current location, no GPS? It will, but takes a few goes...

It initial!y imports your saved WiFi locations from your phone. New connections can be added on the watch if you scroll through the settings.
The WiFi only version has a microphone but does not have a speaker.
GPS is only on the 3G version, so it is likely grabbing GPS data from your phone and relaying the information on the watch.

Last update and I'll stop bugging you. The watch came off the cradle at 7am at this morn, we have been out and about on the bank holiday, loads of texts and notifications etc. Right now at 9pm it's at 81% remaining. That is outstanding. If I don't play some of the silly games I'm looking at 3 days out of this puppy. For a 250mah battery, that's going some.
