When it is selling here?

Ya. Very sad news.

Any info on the selling date?

Huawei watch is very expensive. I maybe considered the gear s2 classic also. How the pre order works? I read in the term and condition that stated rm200 payment will through paypal. This mean i need a paypal account or they just using paypal payment system? Can i pay with debit card?

non-3g version has mic for listening your voice command but it does not has speaker. So, no sound coming out from your watch.

The 3g verson has both but most probably not coming hear as it is using e-sim.

Any release date for huawei watch? I still like the android wear more but the gear s2 rotating wheel and price is very attractive.

the 3g version of gear s2 is using E-SIM. I read about local telco is not supported it yet if not mistaken.

the LG urbane 2nd edition also come with LTE support and using a more conventional nano-sim. Hence, it can be using to call and answer a phone call without a phone:

It is the great device for it s' price indeed. But i dont like the thick bezel besides the square design.

It is the built in classic watch face. You need to customised the classic watch face by taping the stylise button at the bottom like below pic:

Only the white and black background have the skeleton option in the second page of classic watch when in stylised mode. The blue background of the classic only have calendar, grande, etc. No skeleton options.

There is a apps "i am alive" that keep the screen always on with full function watch face in the gear store. I think the battery will take a hit if it is always on.

I do hope when the gear s2 pair with Bluetooth it can answer call. No need revert back to phone to answer call.

I did put a tempered glass on gear s2 classic. The tempered glass did not go from edge tob edge. This make it easily spot the temperd glass layer on top. I take it off now since it is spoilt the appearance of the watch.

Anyhow, the tempered glass did not affected the watch ring operation and touch screen sensitivity is not affected.

it is even slightly lower than pre-order price (20%). local set?

Now no more. Samsung had promotion during launch time. U get 20% discount.

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.

I normally only use the watch to track my steps. I just test the situation u stated above.

I just observed that you can switch the source of tracking your step between phone and watch at the shealth apps in phone. It seem like these data is independent. It won't added the step count of your phone to the watch or vice verse. At least, i can't find it yet in the apps. The phone and watch is keep on tracking. You can select view which data in the s health app.



According to xda, gear store paid apps is just enable for non samsung phone:

It could view and reply notification from gmail, whatapps, sms. Other apps i didnt use much so no ideal. Refer the below link for list of apps and how gear s2 interact with it.

There is a vibration when notification coming. There is no notification sound as it do not has a speaker.


It can play music from storage of a phone or from the watch itself. U need to connect to a bluetooth headset/speaker in order to do so.

recently change the gear s2 classic watch band to metal band:




even remove all the removable watch band link, it is still slightly loose on my wrist.

anyway, I think overall appearance is better for gear s2 with metal watch band compare with original leather band.

actually it is same color with gear s2. the only different is the watch strap metal s slightly matte which is less prone to finger print. unfortunately it only can max remove 4 metal links. it need to remove at least 5 link to fit well in y wrist.

My friend got kw88. It is running android 5.1 and can put sim.
There is some community in google plus share some watch face also.
Yo can Google it for more info.

There is a apps in samsung store that let you see the history. I think it call w history.

I also think samsung should update to enable view chat history. Btw, Android 2.0 can let type with built in keyboard. I still like the rotating bezel in gear s3 than lg watch scrolling crown.

I received new update firmware on gear s3 today
