I didn’t need to know how far i’ve walked. I didn’t need a calorie or step count being in a constant state of motion is what resulted in buying this watch. Unless i hang up my hat for the night, my cell phone never goes off silent or vibrate mode, courtesy to those that i work with. I would never feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Never i was missing calls and texts left and right after a co worker threatened to take me into a boxing ring for never answering his calls. I knew i needed to do something. The s2 worked wonders on my wrist. I do feel the notifications, if i’m uncertain a quick check, is seamless versus sticking in my pocket, pulling out waking up and unlocking my phone no problems answering a call, though i try to keep the exchanges short of imp talking into the s2 text returns. I do pull out the cell. There are a couple of preset responses: Music, okay, call you back hold on. You can customize your own, but im not that generic. This is my first smart watch. It was refurbished, but in excellent condition. When i received it no scuffs or scratches on the face, the turndial around the face that functions as a scroll bar was smooth and responsive with every click being the second handler. The battery might be past its prime paired or unpaired. If you leave it off the charger and powered on it will drain itself within 12 to 15 hours, most likely the bluetooth connected or scanning for devices in power save mode.
You can get close to 24 hours, but you will be looking for a docking station immediately. Afterward, Music, not cool that if you want to sync your email, it doesn’t allow your gmail hotmail work, etc, directly, you’re not able to install gmail directly onto the s2 or configure the default email application to other email servers. You have to create a samsung account and sync it through them. With the two dozen apps on my phone already syncing my photos, contacts calendar browser, my phone being a samsung they’ve got a pretty good snapshot of my affairs already, and heaven knows what else that i’m, not aware of. I didn’t want to officially agree to my email traffic being diverted scanned customizing the face on the s2 was pretty straightforward. Once you have the galaxy wearable app installed, it takes a little looking around, but once you’re in the customizations are plentiful. The first software update took a moment. I could see the new version being installed on my phone. I had to go through the menu setting on the s2 to accept the update awesome. I hate it when it runs and makes changes without permission, but every time afterwards, i can see the s2 updates being downloaded to my phone. But when i check my s2 to update the option is grayed out as if it was done. It already seamless and carefree. Im not about to go ripping through the brains of the operating system to undo samsung’s attempts to make the smartwatch smart smile for my first smartwatch very happy with samsung’s gear line.
For my next watch. I would still check out other vendors, but i have no reservations in buying one brand new. Now that i know what i’m buying it is a good watch, but it is a gear. S2. G3, not the original s2. So the battery isn’t going to last as long because this watch can do pretty much everything. A phone can do.JzRmkpzXEew
