Samsung Gear S2 classic - User Reviews

  • I have been using this watch for around 8 months. Battery life is around 3 days without using power saving mode. Charging time is 1 hour and 10/20 mins. Got a used version and still works great. Voice recorder has appealing quality. Have saved some pictures and music too in it. Happy using this gear.

  • burn in ?

  • I had gear s2 classic for almost 2 years now, few weeks ago I started to notice a hallow of red tint at thr prephiri of the screen, it's always there even when the watch is off, it increases with time, can anyone please tell me what is this.

  • smj710mn ?

  • do we get Tizen 3 for S2 classic...? is there any possibility????

  • Pathetic condition of Gear S2 also the same. Charge goes from 80% to 50% in an 5Hours. brightness is kept 3 and screen saver is off and always connected to phone via Bluetooth LE.. Even though battery is not good on GEAR S2 Classic. samsung needs to something.

  • I can not get NFC to work. Why no apps?

  • is this watch still good to have ? when is s4 coming ?

  • Yes we can dial aur recive calls and read And write massages

  • Yes, but ONLY on the T-Mobile version

  • Can we answer the call through s2 Classic

  • Really a good watch, appreciated the effort of developer & designer.

  • No, it will not.

  • will the gear 2 classic receive phone calls and text messaging when I am away from my phone. I have a samsung phone.

  • Yes, it works well with my iPhone 6s. I purchased to replace my lost Apple Watch, and I prefer it to the AW now that I've gotten it set up the way I want. Set up didn't take long either. I've had my platinum Gear S2 Classic less than 24 hours. Highly recommend this watch to anyone who uses a smart watch primarily for the basics.

  • No

  • It depends. If you have big wrists, yhen go for gear s3. I have small wrists and the gear s3 looks ridiculous on me. So I'm planning to go gor gear s2. Mind that gear s2 doesn't have gps and loudspeaker.

  • Yes they had.

  • Is samsung planning this to connect with iphone?

  • is it worth to buy the gear s2 classic or s3 classic?

  • Hello I have some question about it First thing does it has loudspeaker ? N is it compatible with other Smart phones like Huawei,Sony or any other please do reply I need to buy...

  • Does Samsung Gear S2 Classic SM-R732 support incomming calls and messaging. Are the names of the incomming calls are displayed on the screen of the Gear

  • yes. it is compatible

  • Is this watch really use Corning Gorilla Glass? if there is true, need more scratch-resistant coating on it?

  • Samsung J7 -(SM-J700F) is compatible with samsung gear s2 classic?

  • The 3G version works even if you leave your phone at home. This is not the 3G version.

  • Does it work without phone and is it useful ??

  • the pixel density is per square inch .. it doesn't matter that the screen isn't a square ..

  • Yes

  • what is the guarantee on the product?

  • Does it work with a Samsung J2?

  • i have a question , is it waterproof ?

  • yes, it is

  • See the specifications: "IP68 certified - dust proof and water resistant over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes".

  • It is water resietant??????

  • Thanks for your opinion, but i only wanted to tell you that you don't have to worry about battery : i have my Gear Fit watch for 2 years now (bought it early may 2014) and its battery is as fine as at the beginning.

  • Do we pay extra for the gear connection?? I am being charged 10 dollars per month just for its connection.

  • I'll have one as soon as the price comes down to £150

  • How do you get a resolution of 360 x 360 on a circular display? That doesn't even make sense. Even if you measured max vertical by max horizontal pixels, that still wouldn't be accurate because it's not a rectangular display. It should be measured in TOTAL PIXELS, not vertical by horizontal.

  • You can command your phone to dial a number from watch, but you need your phone for conversation. Gear S2 classic does not have a loud speaking.

  • i also like to know.please tell if your answered

  • how it relate ..

  • The most basic thing that anybody would use is whatsapp. This thing sucks big time at it. Only the recent message from any contact would show. If somebody send me (1) hi then second message (2) how r u and thrd message (3) shall we meet, then this peice of shit will show only the latest one i.e. (3) Shall we meet. Nothing before this. Further it doesn't not support whatsapp images. If you receive images on whatsapp it won't show on the watch. This should be called dumbwatch rather than smartwatch. Wasted by 400$

  • Can u phone on it and speak thru it to people

  • no

  • hey this thing says there is a loudspeaker on this device please fix this as it is very misleading, this system does not have a loud speaker

  • yes

  • is this watch water proof

  • There is no loud speaker in the gear s2 please adjust this on the specifications list!

  • Please confirm whether it is compatible with the E7 galaxy as it presents the characteristics Gear S2 requires 2 GB of Ram and kit kat v4.4.4 Please confirm ...

  • It takes a standard watch strap that you can buy from any watchmaker or jeweler.

  • 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 am using samsung galaxy E7

  • Not compatible with E7

  • taking too long to launch in Indonesia......

  • you can buy it from samsung nasr city store

  • Can we change the strap? And if yes.. Where can we purchase the strap for this unit???

  • Compatible with J7

  • no

  • compatible with z5 ?

  • I have had this watch for just under a month now and I must say (IMO) it is one of the best for looks and function. I get lots of comments on its looks. The watch works fine and is pretty smooth. There are lots of watch faces in the gear app store, I don't care or need many apps except main watch functions and the ability to play music and go for a run without my phone. It is definitely pricey at about $430 CDN it is a steep dip in the pocket for a watch that is good for about 2 years before it is outdated and needs a battery replacement. I just don't understand why they go cheap on the internal RAM and storage, I believe it should be double for both at 1 gig and 8 gigs - The cost to Samsung would be nominal (I know it is the standard, but come on - for this price it could have been 2 and 16). Also I wish it came with a loudspeaker like the previous gen. I don't really want to answer/take calls on my wrist, however it would be nice to use an audible tone for alarms or find my watch would work better instead of vibrate only and try to find the faint buzzing sound. P.S. GSMArena can you please update your specs on this - You have it listed with a loudspeaker, and sadly it does not come with one.

  • nice and smart..

  • I take a run around the block with my daughter and I used my watch to take a short video and some pictures. I don't carry a phone and I am in my gym clothes so I don't want to carry a phone or a tablet/phoneblet. Now I have to carry a big phone to do that because you removed a camera. Why?

  • nice watch,,,,,, & it's very confirtable...

  • correction: Alert types MP3, WAV ringtones -> not with classic due to no speaker... Loudspeaker Yes -> No great watch though, Looking forward to lot of suitable app's

  • The sport version has 3G connection, and all other competitor smart watchs have no 3G or camera

  • I surely buy a lot of it for my entire clan. Very nice watch

  • This is the sickest smartwatch i had seen in my life ; no camera, no phone conectivity and no sim slots ! It's so USELESS !!!

  • Sim is Better
