Really interested where samsung is going with their wearables... Guess no point now in buying the gear 2 and samsung will be wise not to make gear 3 as there is no point , is like going backwards...

Still the major issue is only compatible with samsung phones... which is SAD as not everyone in the whole world uses only samsung in their life...

i mean can i still use whatsapp or wechat wehenever they appear on the gear app store ? oh wait i still need a samsung phone to access the gear app store rite like gear 2......? i dont care about notifications i just hope i can use it to use some apps , send messages without connecting to samsung phone..

but since samsung add a sim card for this gear s , it seems to be able to go fully independant... and it has a full qwerty keyboard...
does it support 3g data usage? battery life wont survive long i guess

i dont mind charging it frequently... just wan to hv as much use out of it even though i dont hv samsung phone anymore... i used to hv a gear 2 but regretted that hugely.....

yea better not then.... tizen is a good OS but app support is very bad for it because damn samsung limits only to their phones so why would app developers wanna build apps for a small minority gear S owners...

i keep switching phone brands but always stick to android and i think android wear is a very useless OS at the moment... its so limiting in what it can do....

Apple watch seems to be a fine middle ground between android wear and yet it has a speaker so you can talk using thee watch... But then again its only for apple product which i dont tend to go bck into....

already hv a truesmart... running full android on a smartwatch is a nightmare... already sold mine away

nitemare as you imagine running full android on a 1.6 inch 'square' display .... if you wanna type the keyboard take up almost the whole screen ..... some apps dont even scale to the display .... good luck even typing on the screen that small and in the end you will just think that you hv a small screen phone...
Little to no software updates from the makers at all since launching... basically its a dead product on arrival... the ompany even moved on to more 'normal' watches ala notifications only type of watches...


plus it has one of the worst charging docks in wearable history.... god...

there are some good things , it runs spotify greatly but since battery life isnt that great you wont use that long anyways....

yea better not ... samsung wearables are always gonna be pointless unless you hv a samsung phone..
i read an article about them wanting to open up tizen to connect to other android phones after the launch of gear 2... Clearly that has not or will happen in the near future....

Anyone selling their Gear S ? Im interested but don't wanna go all out to buy new one espeacially Gear A launching soon.

Prefer the cool curve screen n standalone features of gear s.

900 for used set is pretty high..... 800 can ?

I just hope the full android port can fully port over to gear s... I wanna buy this for fitness use. Do you think its a wise choice? As no need bring phone to jogging or cycling etc...

I know Gear s2 is around the corner but i have a feeling that it wont be as standalone as a device and is more expensive. No speaker is sad...

I don't mind the battery life because what to expect they crammed so many things into a relative small device.

My only concern is wearing it in public as it is quite big and people might stare at it weirdly lol...

I am just finding online see who is selling their gear s second hand. Found one in this forum but still no reply yet

Lol what else should i worry about?

Alright hope i can find someone to sell their watch to me
