Samsung Gear S2 - User Reviews

  • Nice watch. I've been using it since Christmas 2018 and it works really well. Pretty good upgrade from my Fitbit Charge 2. And it actually syncs with my LG Stylo 3 Plus unlike my Fitbit Alta and Charge 2... The Gear S2 is like a phone on your wrist

  • I have a concern, thi watch is compatible with my Huawei mate 10 pro? Because I watch a video were some use the mate 9 with the gear s3 and it work perfectly fine.

  • The watch is very pleasant to wear. The battery usually keeps for 2 days of continuous use (i have it on my wrist since yesterday morning, still 40% battery left). I bought the device 2 years ago, so the battery issues that some are talking about are not real. Update the watch OS, and everything should be OK.

  • My samsung sports gear S2 draining battery very rapidly after updates. Any suggestions plz that why is it lasting for only few hours..... around 5-6 hours after a full charge. And it's full charging requiring 2 hours approximately.

  • Thats when it was new. It last no more than half day of normal use after 2 years, the battery is too tiny and samsung squeezed extra capacity out of it causing rapid battery degradation. Apple watches have ok capacity after 3 years, another reminder that we have only one brand that care about durability.

  • So any fans now want to admit they were wrong, that the gear s2 is in fact quite useless and already almost worthless, just as predicted at launch by people who actually know anything about gadgets (me)? I say it again, its very unwise to buy anything else than apple watch, its the only updated and supported wearable that has real life usability.

  • Yes Dude since 6 day but You have to download the app of samsung galaxy gear from the app store it's available now

  • Please what type of samsung gear can work with samsung j7pro (2017)?

  • Does it work with iphone 6s plus?

  • I have been using Gear S2 for several months now. Previously I had a Samsung Gear Fit 2 which I liked perhaps more than S2, however, it gave me lots of headache due to its erratic charging issues. Samsung Gear S2 is a very fine smart watch. The only issue that I have started facing recently is the failure to post the workout (walk with map) on my Facebook profile.. Previously, it worked flawlessly, but perhaps after one of the recent software updates, it has been facing this issue. I shall be grateful if someone could guide me how to resolve this issue. I use Gear S2 with my Samsung Note 4. Thank you.

  • I think there are some variants of the Gear S2 which do not have an external speaker. The 3G version does have an external speaker and can play music stored on the device, but I don't know why you would want to, because it isn't that great. You will get audible notifications, alerts, etc. Hardware wise, this is still a stout device, especially compared to all the more affordable smartwatches recently released.

  • Yes, the speakers are the 3 holes on the left side of the watch

  • Does the watch really have a speaker because I have one and it only vibrates so I have no Idea how to know if it does have speakers or not???

  • Is it completely compatible with s8?

  • Yes, I'm currently using it on my S7 and S8.

  • is it compatible with all android smartphone or just for samsung smartphones?

  • Yes. I am using it with my S8, running smoothly.

  • Sorry just pressed a wrong reply button

  • Yes. I am using it with my S8, running smoothly.

  • I can't pair my gear s2 with my S7 which is running on Android 7. When I am pairing them the watch provides a 6 digit pin but I can't enter the pin on my S7. Any solutions for this problem.

  • Is it compatible with s8?

  • Yes

  • Is it compatible to samsung s6 edge tmobile?

  • Is it compatible to samsung s6 edge tmobile?

  • I had it for two days. I tried it in heavy use and i can say it can last 16 hrs not more. For more moderate use it can pass 24 hrs.

  • Hey guys, i will have the a3 2017 , does this thing support it and would this be a good match to the a3 but im stuck between s2 and iconx, yeah i know s2 is better but more expensive and i also want a wireless earbud, im stuck so is this thing worth it?

  • My second band has just broken. I have had it for 12 months and just use it whilst walking.

  • Wrist band tearing after 1 year of casual use.

  • Yes

  • Are you sure? I read some reviews they said that the battery live was good.

  • My Gear S2 has some touch screen issues like automatically going to different screens and selecting different things without me touching the watch screen. I tried to factory reset and light reset it but still the issue persists. Hope any of you can help or advice me on this (if you have faced any similar issues). I have also the software updated to the latest version as of now. Heard of a new update available which will port Gear S3 features. Hope that update will solve my watch screen issues.

  • nice news given by gsmarena

  • I tried it already.. It connects..

  • no, only samsung if it was android wear yes it would be compatible but tizen os is only compatible with samsung

  • Is this watch compatible with P8 lite?

  • Here the mobile compatiblity list.. www.samsung.com/hk_en/mobile_compatible_list/ind­ex_m.html Becareful before you buy it.. I just bought and then it is useless..

  • I bought the sports watch version in end October. The strap is quite weak in the hinges and of poor quality and broke in less than two months. Samsung says no warranty on straps and refuses the replace. Sports watch straps are not easily available and are really expensive Please be careful before buying the sports watch...

  • Whow much

  • Where can I buy the charging dock for Gear S2?

  • hi, i need the chip model of the wlan in the gear s2. who knows ?

  • There's a 3G model.

  • its doesnt have speaker gsmarena!!!

  • simple.... those hours are calculated by matching the watch with the phone previuosly via Bluetooth. Then... you talk using the watch instead of the smartphone. Recalls that this device has a microphone.

  • hey GSMARENA. if the Gear S2 did not have 3G support, how is calculated the 48 Hour of 3G talktime?
