Note 5 and Smart watch.

Recently moved from LG g watch to the Samsung gear S2.
The both work very well but i really like the new samsung
 
Still using my Gear 2 that i used with my Note 3. It works fine with my Note 5. But I'm not gonna lie, the Gear S2 looks really nice! I just can't justify the upgrade since my Gear 2 does everything I need.

The only reason I haven't purchased a new LG is because I like my gear 2 so much. I will use it until it dies. My gear 1 just died when it was about 2 years old.
 
If you are using the Gear S2 for weather updates than that is your problem. Waste of battery and dumb. Use the phone.

How is it any more "dumb" than using a watch to check emails or texts or sports scores or anything else that it can do?
 
I have a Garmin 235 connected to my Note 5. Activity tracking and optical HR from a leader in the fitness tech space, plus I get notifications, weather, calendar, and whatever else I can find in the app store. Garmin Connect doesn't have near as many apps as android wear and the face isn't all that great compared to an AMOLED screen, but the battery lasts for over a week. Oh, and super accurate GPS when I want to go for a run.

I was waiting for the Moto 360 Sport, but after hearing the reviews, the Garmin was the much better choice for activity tracking and running.
 
I use the Microsoft Band 2 with the Microsoft Health app, they both work great with my Galaxy Note 5.
 
I bought the Gear S2 classic with the $100 promo $$$ from Samsung while it was on sale during the holiday. I can't complain, it works well. At the same time it's what I thought it would be. A cool toy I'll wear now and again.I know one ultra busy person that gets a ton of emails and uses the watch to check on them instead of picking up the phone/using the computer all the time. It's practical for him, but not so much for me.
 
Im using the GS2 with my Note 5... both T-Mo variants... Im EXTREMELY disappointed with the battery life on the watch. I dont play with it often, the screen is not set to be ALWAYS ON, it stays connected to bluetooth but yet I can barely get through a day before this thing is shutting down. I also have the Gear S(1) and even with the screen set to always on, I could easily get through a 1.5 days before it dies. Any ideas as to what might be going on???

The perfect mate - The Gear S2 3G. My battery is good for a day or more. There are things that you can do to save battery life, like control what updates the watch, etc. I think it is great!!!
