According to a few links I've looked at it's under the hood changes (bug fixes and optimizations) only for the ogS but adds new features to the S2.
Since I'd figured the S1 was abandoned by Samsung and it's working fine I'll be patient waiting on AT&T to push it to mine. XDA had 1 user complaining of lesser battery life when remotely connected but others chimed in stating they didn't have the same problem. If you do have performance issues after the update try a factory reset, just like the remedy for phones and tablets after firmware updates to enhance performance.

Sprint and Verizon have both started pushing out the update for their models. I haven't found when T-Mobile and AT&T will begin pushing theirs out yet.

I received an update for my Gear S from AT&T this morning. Does anyone know what this update is?

If it's the same as everyone else has been getting there's nothing noticed other than stability , just under the hood fixes and making it fully compatible with Marshmallow. Mine is installing now.

After running the new update for a week+ the only major thing I notice is different is my battery only lasts 2+ days now vs the 3+ days it used to. I've not tweaked anything yet looking for what the drain is but I'll get around to it eventually. 2+ days still ain't bad.
