    New Verizon Gear S Software Update today - Feb 16, 2015

    No change in battery usage. I get the same battery charge remaining at the end of the day. Still stable. No issues.

    Gear S memory

    In case it isn't clear, this is done on the watch. No need to use your phone.

    New Verizon Gear S Software Update today - Feb 16, 2015

    It's very stable so far, which is very encouraging. You can change the clockface from the watch instead of just from the Gear Manager, which I think is new.

    New Verizon Gear S Software Update today - Feb 16, 2015

    Checked for updates today for my Verizon-based Gear S, and to my surprise there was one. Installation went without a hitch, no settings lost. The note in the Gear Manager said it contained interface and stability changes. So far it seems very stable, and the interface changes are minimal...

    Gear S T-Mobile Backorder - Dec 2014

    On a whim I called in to the order line. All orders are on backorder: Telephone, Internet sales and in-store sales. Bummer.

    Gear S T-Mobile Backorder - Dec 2014

    Gear S T-Mobile Backorder - Dec 2014

    Greetings. I ordered my Gear S in-store on December 11. Store employees stated that they ran out the day before. My T-Mobile account shows the order and that the unit is on backorder. Anyone else in the same boat? Anyone have any idea when these might ship?
