I really really don't understand that - in particular negative personal projections about a use case they personally don't currently see, the value proposition for it - "why would anybody want a phone on their wrist?" or negative comments about the appearance of a device they've never actually seen touched or worn up-close in real life ...."oh it looks massive and ugly - I'd never wear something like that on my wrist - i gave up wearing a watch years ago - who needs one when you have a phone in your pocket blah blah blah"
Almost 99.9% of everyone who has seen my Gear S (from grandmothers to little tiny kids) say the same thing "WTF! how cool is that - where can i get one?"
I"m like "its the best there is at the moment but is a bit buggy - hang on a bit longer - but whatever - look at this fantastic sad/grumpy cat watch face

Hi guys... Samsung gear S compatible with samsung galaxy S3 mini?? Please advise..

Tq in advance

Guys. is there any other gps/maps for the gear s?

bought the watch with intention to use the Nav while riding On bike.
so far it has been very frustrating. Ended up using maps on phone

Tq

You can install some cycling tracker from the Gear Apps store, or use the built in S-Health tracker. It measures your heart rate and also tracks your route.

The Nokia Here app is useless without the companion phone with you.

You may also try any of the other trackers like Nike and a couple of other apps.

TQVM bro.. i might have put wrong.
I meant to say use while on motorcycle. . 😊

Sorry for the mistake.. & tqvm again for willing to help.. 😊

Looking at your wrist or looking down on a phone while on a motorbike is very dangerous.

The best use of wearables while on a motorbike will be something like Google Glass

Damn! This watch unable to pair with SM-T705. My Gear Fit no problem pairing with it.

I have a Gear S that I am using as a standalone device with its own sim card. So far however I cannot connect to the Internet. It has its own mobile internet access, and it can connect to wifi. I've tried to use the stock apps like Email and Weather, even asked my friend to write an app to access the Internet, nothing works. Other than that, I can make calls and receive sms with no issues. Planning to go to the service center to ask them about this problem.

Anyone have similar issues?

You might need to update the APN on the Gear S.

Hi guys, as a heads up, the Galaxy Life app is offering free straps to Gear S users.

Anyone claimed it yet?

Hey thanks !!! I guess I'll check that out.

I've redeemed mine this morning at Gardens without any fuss. Got myself a nice black bangle strap.

Is it the same as the standard strap or a different design?

The one that I received is a bangle strap, which is different from the standard strap.

Share a pic? Thanks.

Did they have a choice of colors?

Only took a pic of this when I got it. Don't have any pictures of it on my arm.

Didn't check with them if they had any other colours. When I told them I wanted to redeem the strap, one of them went to the back and brought this out. I was happy with the colour so I didn't ask any further.

Finally got the Mocha Grey strap for the Gear S. Love the color.

Anyone who redeemed Gear S strap, want to trade with mine?; black. Looking for white

Wow lucky u. I asked for bangle but they said the promo is only for the stdd strap.
