Any women Gear S owners?

[jojas]

So, are there any women out there who own a gear s and actually wear it? Do you still like it? I have one and love the capabilities...it's just so...big. I know big watches are in style right now, but this one really is large. Is it too large for a woman? Do you men think it looks dumb on a woman?
I especially like the gear s because if I am ever attacked, I think I have a better chance of getting help using my watch than my phone. Any opinions or thoughts from men or women are greatly appreciated!

I have it and absolutely love it. There is no way I would return it. The gear fit was my first venture into smart watches & I also loved it despite all the problems from day 1 of release. I was apprehensive about getting the gear s also because my wrist is so small but I took the leap. I purchased a white bangle band & it makes a big difference in the look in size on my wrist. I'm still learning how to use a lot of the features because I have the Tmobile data plan plus I use my google voice number going to my gear s & note edge.

I've been wearing mine every day since November, and think it's just the perfect size. My wrist is 6.5" wide and it looks like a bangle.
I bought mine so I could go running without my phone, and still be able to call for help plus be available and connected. The fact that it also tracks my runs, sleep, steps, etc. made this purchase a no-brainer for me. I read the announcement on engadget and started hunting down availability in my area right away

I always used to think smartwatches were a solution looking for a problem, and never owned one before the Gear S. The only thing that makes me mad is Samsung's way of throwing something on the market then forgetting about it. I'd love it if they could improve usability and add more incentives for devs to create apps. If they could at least ADVERTISE that they have this watch on the market, which would get more sales, which in turn would get more developer interest ... But all they do about this watch is a big fat nothing.

I still love mine, but I would love it more with more apps.

To me, it's the perfect device for active, healthy people, but all they advertised it with were unhealthy looking models when it first came out. Instead of promoting the usefulness of its features, GPS, HR, etc, they advertised its coolness factor on the wrist of some (I guess) fashionable person.

In contrast, Apple showcased Christy Turlington training for a marathon (with a fannypack to carry her iPhone, since the Apple watch does next to nothing on its own) ... I saw the Apple announcement and just wanted to scream at the Samsung marketing team.

Lemme get off my soapbox now....

Anyhow, do you wear yours every day? Everybody who catches a glimpse of mine on my wrist says it looks super cool, and mine does not even have motion control on: the screen remains black until I press the button.

Look up the thread I started awhile back (Let's see it on your wrist). There are a few pictures with females wearing them. And I by the way am in one of them. I LOVE my Gears S, I came from the Gear 2 Neo, at first the S was big, but I got used to it. I ordered the White Band, just got the Grey Band, the Red ones on its way, next I'll be ordering the Blue one. I don't go out the house without it... Got phone cases to match and clothes. So yes women are rocking the Gear S and accessorizing.

I don't care about apps so much. I mostly use it for calls, texting, and notifications. I have tic tac toe on here just because but I don't play it. I have a app which is pretty useful. I too keep the screen and the different band colors make you feel like you got a new on.

I have a AT&T , I'm about to get a T-mobile SIM card to use when I ride.

Love it, wear it constantly except while sleeping or showering.

From a man's perspective, if you like it wear it, if not don't. Opinions are like arm pits, everyone has them and they often stink.

If I'm really tired, I wear it so the vibration from the alarm can wake me.

I love it but really wish there were more choices for bands. Since, for now at least, there are only the rubberized bands, I decided to couple it with a small bracelet to make it look a bit more feminine. I have a black band as well as a white band, and bracelets to match each.

I always wear it with 1-3 beaded bracelets as well I find black bracelets look best with the black band.

I have a black beaded bracelet that I wear as well. But with the white and gray bands, I have a silver bracelet that looks good. It draws on the stainless steel portion of the .

I just did an image search, and a lot of the Gear S pics on women's wrists are accompanied by bracelets, so we're onto something here

Pretty picture ... Samsung should have advertised the Gear S more like this (Gear 1):


And less like this. They should have focused on health.

I just upgraded from a Gear 2 and I think this fits much more comfortably with the curved screen and band. My only issue with it is how quickly my battery drains. Anyone else have that problem? My Gear 2 would last until bedtime and still have around 65% or more left. This baby drains almost all the way down by then.

I do love it and wear it constantly. I love that i can leave my phone in my classroom and walk down to the office or go to the bathroom and still get alerts. Love this watch!!

There are many threads about how to get more out of the battery, search out battery, etc.

I LOVE mine and the size of it doesn't bother me at all. I also love being able to go for runs now without my phone knowing I can use this to call for help if needed. What other watch can you do that with? . Actually I used it last Saturday on my 12-mile run.... My bf was my "sag" and he lost track of my route. I called him and we chatted a bit while I was running....thru Bluetooth headphones of course but it was way cool... He caught back up easily anyway yes I love mine

I have not worn a regular watch since this one came out and I am a GIRLY GIRL! I don't wear other things on that arm though I like my watch being the star of the show on that wrist but I have seen some girls do some things with it.

I have 3 swarovski stones on my home button and am stil hoping and praying and waiting on that swarovski band that I do not think is ever coming. I also have all the different color bands minus the black bangle band and if I find it at a reasonable price I will get it as well.

This is my 6th smartwatch and the first I have worn daily... best features.. most comfy.. most stylish and decent battery. :-*

I tried to get my wife to wear it but she thinks it's too big and bulky. And a little nerdy

No way! Nerdy how?!
JK, I guess it is a bit nerdy, ...though more on a man's (usually more hairy) wrist. It looks like a cute bangle on a woman's wrist, especially when coupled with another bracelet or two or three. My 2c.

Yeah, I periodically still google the Diesel bands, as I really liked some of them, but I don't think they are ever coming any more. Too bad.

Yeah I do a search about once a week or so... so sad!
