Got one today

[terobaje]

After using a Gear S3 Frontier for about two weeks and then switching to Fossil Q Control (Android Wear), I settled on a Gear Sport today.

1st Gear S3: Back button would start sticking after few hours
2nd Gear S3: Rotating bezel was loose and made noise
Fossil Q: Android Wear was terrible. Navigation was painful. No useful widgets like Tizen and Google Fit sucked ***.

I hope I stay happy with Gear Sport. So far, I love it.

The main thing I notice for the Sport is the bezel seems loose but it's that way too make it easier to turn.

To me, the bezel actually feels better than S3 Frontier.

Unfortunately, I ended up going back to a Gear S3. I just prefer the design more than the Sport.

I got one last weekend. Best Buy had it on sale for $250. They had an open box one for $234, and I happened to have $235 in reward points accrued... I got the blue one.

Just picked up a Gear Sport from BB on sale. I have a LG Style Android Wear watch that I have been really frustrated with. I can barely get one day out of it- battery life is terrible. I plan on setting up the Sport today. I don't have a Samsung phone (Moto Z2 Play) so I will see how it goes with Tizen.

How is it working with your Moto Z2?

Works fine. Only issue so far is you can't answer calls on the Samsung. It looks like this is a known issue with the Samsung watches and a non Samsung phone.

Well it's not so much an issue as that there's no speaker on your gear Sport, so no way to answer calls on it regardless of the phone you're using

Actually, yes you can answer calls. The Gear Sport has a microphone and you can answer with your voice or by swiping the screen.

On my Android Wear watch when I'm getting a call, I can hit the button and answer it and just pick up my phone and talk. Comes in handy if you can't get to the phone and don't want to miss the call.

Ok, yes technically answer calls can be done. Allow me to rephrase; you can not carry on a conversation through the gear Sport
