I've had my Gear 2 now for two weeks and all I can say is that it has met all my expectations. I have by Gear 2 tethered to my Nexus 5X and it works seamlessly. Had the watch setup at an authorized Verison store which I believe was a plus as the folks there worked with Samsung on the software loads. Now as for the watch itself, battery life is as expected. On daily usage, by the end of the day I still have twenty percent battery remaining. Transferring/forwarding calls and text to the watch works great. Voice communication is great. I first thought you needed to hold the watch close to your face to communicate but that is not the case. Even at my waist people can hear me clearly. Some folks have complained about the lack of software. As for me, I'm good with what is available now. Thing is, can't forget this is just a watch and if you need more programs than that is what your phone is for.Read full review

By Matthew Miller from ZDNET: 12.15.15 I've tested, and purchased, a lot of smartwatches and even though I wear one every day, I still believe no one really needs a smartwatch. That said, if you are looking for a watch that stands out from the rest then the Samsung Gear S2 3G is the one. As I mentioned in my Samsung Gear S2 first impressions, I've been on the hunt for my perfect smartwatch for a couple years. The Apple Watch is close, but the lack of GPS and self-contained cellular service keep it from perfection. These are both functions that are available in the Samsung Gear S2 and once again Samsung is beating Apple to the punch. I purchased a Gear S2 3G from T-Mobile about 10 days ago and have taken it out on four runs in my attempt to figure out if it is indeed the perfect smartwatch for me. FIVE WAYS THE GEAR S2 3G IS BETTER THAN THE APPLE WATCH The Apple Watch is Apple's first attempt at a smartwatch and it does a fantastic job as a first product. The Gear S2 is Samsung's seventh smartwatch since 2013 and is its best yet. Here are five reasons the Gear S2 3G beats the Apple Watch Sport Edition. The 38mm Apple Watch is $349 and the 42mm one is $399. The Gear S2 3G is priced at $359.99 from T-Mobile. GPS: A major limitation of my Apple Watch is the lack of GPS. This means I either have to carry along an iPhone or give up tracking the specific route details of my run. The Gear S2 3G includes a GPS receiver and two apps, Nike+ and S Health, that include GPS tracking support. Wireless carrier service: I purchased the T-Mobile version, but Verizon and AT&T also sell this model in stores. While I mainly purchased the 3G version for running safety, I'm finding the ability for it to serve as a secondary phone very useful. Water and dust resistance: The Gear S2 3G has an IP68 rating, meaning it prevents dust ingress at the highest solids rating and keeps water out in 1-3 meter depth. IP68 is nearly the highest level of dust and water resistance available. Stainless steel construction: The 3G model is available with a silicone band, but the body is made of stainless steel. The comparably priced Apple Watch Sport Edition is made of aluminum The stainless steel Apple Watch starts at a price $200 more than the Gear S2 3G. Rotating bezel: While there are two buttons and a touchscreen on the Gear S2 3G, a unique user interface consists of the rotating bezel. There is clear clicks/stops in the bezel as you rotate it and it makes for quick navigation as well.Read full review

Great watch, takes some getting used to because of it's size and weight, but works like a charm and has great features, clear displays and easy to use.

I purchased mine for $20. It was originally $200 and worth it. I don't know why it depreciated so much after 2 years. It is a good looking and feeling watch. The only problem I had was in initiating it with Samsung Gear app. It took so long and many attempts. But once in it worked great. It gets about a day and a half out of the battery. It has many good watch faces. For the price i paid it is outstanding

This model is nice cause I can take calls from my wrist with or without the extra data plan. I opted in to the data plan on the watch because I can forward messages and texts from my cell to the watch even when I don't have my cell on me. I also listen to music through the watch speaker when I run.
