But, dude....the premise of navigation on the watch is for walking, running, or hiking, NOT for driving navigation.

It is FAR MORE DANGEROUS to keep glancing at your wrist on the 2" screen (even though it is the LARGEST SCREEN of all smartwatches currently) to figure out where you need to turn than to use a 5+" screen mounted on your car dash.

Although I am generally happy with the Gear S, I certainly DO NOT recommend using it, or any other similar device, to handle driving navigation.

yesterday just found out gear s can reply to whatsapp / messenger apps even without 3rd party apps (notification expander / notification for gear s)! great!

I have lost my cradle..how much to buy the new one?

Brother , can u show me how ? My Gear s cant reply , no option to choose from the notification

Hi, I'm passing my Gear S to my 6 yr old daughter.

Is there anyway to make it to function like a GPS tracker? Like those that can be 'activated via sms' to send location (also via sms) to a predetermined phone number?

The notification will hv option to reply, as long as not readed yet on the phone.

loving this ...!!

Nice. Are you using it standalone or via bluetooth?

Hi there,

its my 3rd day with this baby...

1st day using it via bluetooth...

and yesterday i went and bought a prepaid sim for Gear S...

But till today....still cant managed to figure out why i cant reply Whatsapp ...

and another thing, call forwarding from my main line are actually chargable.....means its advisable to use with multi sim operator ...in this case,,.... im thinking to switch to Maxis...

sigh~~~ still very blur with my Gear S

Yeah, multisim is the best option for forwarding.

You might need a firmware update for the Whatsapp reply, although I'm not sure how one of the other forumers got that to work.

Hi, I'm getting my Gear S soon. Can I use it with my Note 3 via Bluetooth and answer/make calls using the Gear S? I'm currently using the Gear 2 and hope to do the same using the Gear S. Don't plan to get another SIM card for the watch for now.

hm...firmware update..... now it shed some light...thanks bro...and FYI...with a sim card in this wonder.... i unplug charging at 6am....by 9pm, battery at 15%. ...... "

yes...it works well...tried that on my first day....

So sad the camera and remote control has been removed from the Gear S compared to the Gear 2...

Bro...do you mind to share what is the firmware version of your Gear S...??
There are numerous version dedicated for different countries...just not sure which to go for...

just received my Samsung Gear S (used) unit and the charger cradle is missing!! Sigh... Hope the seller can find it.. any one here has a spare one for sale??

You can still have remote control via bluetooth or wifi for phone audio, but if you were referring to the IR remote function, then yeah it sucks a little, but I think it was due to battery life concerns.

And I'm also sure that the cellular radio components took up all the space available for a camera and IR circuitry too.
