Got update on Gear s2 3g Verizon last night. Had to manually check .

I hate to say this, but the Bluetooth implementation on the 6p was (to put it kindly)... Crap. Myself and many, many others went through multiple replacements only to suffer the same thing: the 6p does not pair well or maintain BT connections. Some believe it to be a hardware issue, others...

I haven't had one at all. I have had the watch for over a year... Wear it daily. Not a single scratch, not even micro scratches. Even the case still looks good. I wouldn't sweat the cover.

Finally. Gear S2 3G Verizon here in Virginia.

Bought the cheap Chinese knock offs available on Amazon. The color is little off, but they are good quality. Using with my two piece NATO band.

Early on i believe some folks had similar issues... Bad hardware. Try exchanging it. It should perform as others have stated.

Sounds like you were traveling at almost 16 miles per minute (955 mph!). That's pretty good! Congrats!

I just leave the watch connected via Bluetooth all the time (to my Nexus 6P). Battery drain is negligible. Calls are forwarded. They ring to the phone first, then to watch. Don't ever use WiFi for the watch. Keeping Bluetooth on all the time updates weather, s-health, calendar, etc. Vast...

I love being about to work out and listen to my music... And not miss a call. And leaving my phone at home or inning the locker at the gym. It's only $5 a month for not having to carry my phone all over the gym 3 to 4 days a week. Or when i am out riding. Convenient for me.

I routinely get 3 to 5% per hour. Use Bluetooth and location, no WiFi. Dark watch faces. Awake gesture, awake with new notifications. I find that when i switch to a different watch face (i change them according to situation), rebooting the watch really helps with the battery life. Also...

I've paired just about everything with this watch, head phones, speakers car...no issues. When you tap on the Bluetooth setting while it is already on, it will make it visible. During that time, go through the pairing procedure with your other device. It does help to hold it close the first...

Re: Using Gear S2 for calls with bluetooth earbuds. I have my Yurbuds leap wireless ear buds connected and love them with this watch. if you want to talk using the ear buds, just press the middle of button briefly and talk. Same to disconnect. if you want to talk on watch instead, answer call...

Re: Samsung Sear S2 Gear O'Clock watch face use the Gear O clock: digital sense watch face by Belvek EOOD. it has a great night mode and charging mode face. the charging mode face spins regularly to prevent burn in.

I've tried using an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect to help with prioritizing the devices using AD2P, it seems to work, but not every time. Right now i an down to disabling Bluetooth on the watch when i go to get in the car. Wish there was a faster/more direct way to access that on the watch.
