" ... Works great with iPhone. ... "
" ... I love being able to get messages and emails on my watch! ... "
" ... Also, you can store songs and media directly on the watch and connect Bluetooth headphones to it, which is a lovely surprise (and means this alone can act as a jogging buddy!) ... "
" ... Great if you have T-mobile. ... "
" ... I can't belive the functionality of this small device. ... "
" ... Go with another smart watch. ... "
" ... It connected up with my samsung and has done practically everything I need it to do. ... It connects with the phone via bluetooth and the samsung gear app. ... "
" ... It is sized like a watch, not a computer. ... "

" ... Once the charge reaches 100%, it doesn't hold long (3.5 hours) ... "
" ... I returned it after a couple of days due to the horrible battery life. ... "
" ... The battery is a bit dissapointing (last less than 24h) even with light use, so it is necessary to charge it every day, But the extensive amount of features make it a really good option! ... "
" ... Now after one month the battery only holds a charge for about 12 hours. ... It's otherwise a great watch, I'm just very disappointed in its ability to stay charged. ... "
" ... 1) BAD BATTERY ... Even if I only wanted to use this as a smart watch, the battery sucks. ... "
" ... The battery life isn't super great either. ... "
" ... The only downside to this smartwatch is that the battery drains so quickly. ... "
" ... This would have been a very nice item however you had to turn off almost every option for the battery to last longer than 16 hours or so. ... "

" ... I replaced the leather band with a silicone band for everyday and gym use. ... "
" ... Super happy and I already have interchangeable bands so I have a different look for what ever I wear. ... "
" ... It's built very well, comes with a nice leather band, and the functionality of it is great! ... "
" ... I've received so many compliments, its super elegant and yet could be dressed down with a matter of changing the band. ... "
" ... But, after I switched out the leather band I was able to make it feel a bit more feminine. ... My husband owns the Gear S2 sport and he loves his as well. ... "
" ... The band was a comfortable fit. ... "
" ... I would recommend replacing the band with a metal one if you plan on getting wet or sweating. ... "
" ... It is beautiful and felt good on my wrist. ... "
