the gear s2 is very smooth for the navigation and stock apps. I do read in the other forum if the apps do open alot in the background, it will slow down the watch. Actually i did not have this problem but i do facing some bugs in the software before the first update.

I really like the navigation ring and user interface. the screen is very beautiful and bright. i do not have any problem with the display under sun light. I do like the S health app also.The battery is also last around 2 day.
the biggest cons of gear s2 is the S-voice (If you like to talk to your watch). i find it not so accurate recognize my voice. The other biggest cons is the availability of third parties apps as you stated. It is generally new watch and new tizen interface for the watch. the third parties apps support may get better as time goes by. this one have to wait and see. I think these two aspects android wear is way better than gear s2.

I dont have much complaint about the apps available for gear s2 since it is only got 1.2inch screen, more complicate task you do want to use your phone anyway. But i do like to have a rss reader or podcast apps and opera mini for quick searching the web. hopefully these apps will be available soon.

I read that if you have a non-samsung phone, you dont have paid apps only free app available in the gear store.
I have a note 5. i cant confirm on this.

Thanks for a brief explaination. Well, so far I don't do much on my Pebble either. Sold my Pebble Time as underutilized most of the functions, like voice type. So voice command won't do me any good at moment.

As my main concern is the stock app on the watch do carry their job well? Like receiving notifications and etc?
Got vibratation? As for the paid app, do we need to buy separately that what gave on Google Play?

Given 4gb storage, I guess can be use to store music? Can it stream direct to bluetooth headset?

it's all about what is your intention of wearing a smartwatch in the first place.

1. for your own syiokolicious / u die die need a notification device to alert you at all time without taking out ur phone all the time just to check any sort of notification.

2. to show off to others

if u wear it just merely to show off to other people, then you are shallow, bcox smart watch is nothing to shout about nowadays. if for own syioking session... why not and what is wrong with the watch face being turn off? u can set to always on if you want.. perhaps few hours of battery life before next recharge.

Agreed.

As for me using Pebble, I think good enough already. Yet desire for AW is high. I can't deny by using Pebble attract more smartwatch wannabe who buy some cheapo china watch and brag their watch can do this and that, comparing to my pebble. Some got cheated too, pay but no item coming. Even so, I don't care, I still want another smartwatch, tried Pebble Time, but didn't like it. Almost buy Asus Zenwatch, but due to visibility under direct sunlight really turned me down. Now Gear S2 or Huawei Watch really tempting with AMOLED screen.

Actually my most wanted is Tag Heuer Connected smartwatch, that one really can show off. Haha!

But I am not that rich to get Tag Heuer yet. Haha!

Haha, that one only selected people can buy.

Btw, I've been thinking since AW is same goes for all AW devices, will there be any differ in term of user experience or smoothness when comparing between cheap and more expensive AW gear? Like, Asus Zenwatch vs Huawei Watch? Both receive latest AW version I think. What say you?

I think no differences, but build quality, screen quality, size maybe ? If dont consider those, then 1st ever AW aka G watch should be popular consider price was low, yet not one wearing  whistling.gif

Oo.. G Watch really that bad?
Considering my pebble not that premium compare to AW watches. Any AW or Tizen should suit me fine.
Been here long time too, seeing people getting their newer watches really tickling me.

Ya surprisingly fast!

The watch build is solid. Really like it. For me it is the most nicest smartwatch now after the Tag Heuer Connected.
*
How heavy when you wear it? How smoothness of AW?
I tested Gear S2, surprisingly small form watch. I bet Huawei Watch slightly bigger than Gear S2.
And yeah, build for sport GS2 do feel cheap, even my Pebble feel more premium. Rotate bezel feel cheap and loose, maybe due to demo abuse.

Haha, later can write long and brief review.

It got normal watch weight. Really solid build.

Huawei and Moto both using much standard 42mm. Samsung one slightly smaller.

Smoothness wise no issue for either.

I can't find anywhere to test Huawei or Moto.. wanna test too..

Btw my pebble receive Timeline update, and it's awesome

Huawei probably soon will have display to test. Moto definitely nope.

Actually nearly all smartwatch using same processor (except Samsung and 1st gen of Moto 360), you test either one will get the result on it performance.

The only complain on Huawei watch is the charging dock which a bit troublesome and outdated design.
*
Maybe when I back hometown today I will go seek more shops. Maybe I need to test moto360 myself too.

QUOTE(amdx @ Dec 23 2015, 09:37 AM)
bro, i hv owned the followings (might not remember the exact model):
-Sony sw2
-LG G watch
-LG G watch R
-Pebble (1st gen)
-Pebble steel silver
-Pebble steel black
-Pebble Time
-Apple Watch
-Samsung Gear s2 classic
-Pebble Time Round

I think i have better insights on the smartwatch department... being a Watch Idiot Savant aka watchfreak myself on mechanical watches. I tends to imagine with the emergence of todays' technology, what can a smartwatch actually do more to be just a device that only tells time (or perhaps, GMT function that tells time for different timezone... put aside chronograph features and etc.. i don't think you will use it in normal condition).

back to back, to sum up. I think AW has been greatly improve alot compare to when I first encountered with LG G watch previously, tonne of AW apps. can be found now compare to lastime. For sure, I'm looking towards the future of AW... but meanwhile... I still think pebble fits what I really need as of now - notification push with serious battery life.
*
Being passionate is gifted, it's a rare talent. I once become like that before during audiophile & console age. Now left already. I admit people with more experience tend to give more accurate review on what to expect from it.

I curious, out of all smartwatch you owned, how many still be yours?

Haha, notification push with serious battery life is very handy punch line. But my Pebble already a year age, already showing sign of battery performance degration, and also cable maybe need to find new for spare already. I wonder if battery die, how to replace it. Haha. Timeline update seems ok.

Huawei Lowyat shop have Huawei watch. I played with it, quite nice. If only I didnt get Moto 360, definitely will buy this HW watch.

Nope, The Gear S2 is not an Android Wear device.
It only works with Samsung's smartphone, Samsung own's Touchwiz UI.

Gear S2 will work on selective Android devices with additional requirement installing few apps for better user experience. Indeed with Samsung phone, it's plug and play, less hassle.

I would say other phones model beside those of Samsung's own smartphone will has less support, maybe much less feature that can sync with the phone.

Can see those comment at Google Playstore.
The apps name is "Samsung Gear".

It should work perfectly with those Samsung smartphone with Touchwiz UI, where some feature rely heavily on the Touchwiz.

Yeah, that's about right.
