    Pedometer needs improvement [Samsung Gear S2]

    Same experience when I run with the dog. My arm is out holding the lead instead of swinging freely and it misses a ton of steps. The sad thing is I don't feel that this was an issue on the Gear S that I used to have. Bummer.

    Gear S2 Classic 3G/4G

    If you guys could try testing the GPS tracking with S health and possibly compare the step tracker that would be great. I had the GEAR S and it was awesome but my experience with the S2 has been unreliable when it comes to tracking my mileage on walks and tracking my steps. If you view your GPS...

    How often do you restart or reset your watch to fix it?

    In general the phone and most of it's functions have been rock solid however the Nike App gets flaky sometimes and it stops tracking my mileage but works after a reboot. I walk 3 miles at lunch everyday and count on it to track so I have just gotten into the habit of shutting it off overnight...

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    Did you have any experience with the Gear S prior to this? I guess I am asking as Samsung could say "this is how accurate a watch is going to be" but I know better since the Gear S was right on par with my phone. Thanks.

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    Let me preface this by saying that I owned the Gear S for the last 9 months before upgrading and I experienced none of the issues I am about to list. So If the Gear S could do this efficiently I feel as thought the Gear S2 should be at least as accurate. Here goes. I walk or run the same route...

    Can I get some help with my Gear S2?

    Re: Gear S2. Great design & build, but... As in connected to "mobile phone" or "mobile network"? On a different note I walked a mile with watch only and checked the NIke App and it showed a pretty accurate map with my path on it. Then, I walked the same exact path back home and the Nike App is...

    Can I get some help with my Gear S2?

    In my testing last night I walked 1 mile and the app logged the mileage correct but the map only showed 2 straight lines and only went to my neighbors and back. Like 500 feet. However the mileage was right. I think something was wrong with the GPD maps last night or yesterday. I just bought my...

    Can I get some help with my Gear S2?

    I just jumped up to the Gear s2 from the Gear S and I am enjoying but I find the GPS to be unreliable using the Nike Running app. I have been using it for the last 6 months with the Gear S and I assumed it was tracking accurately. However with the Gear S2 the same app seems like it is under...
