Samsung Gear S: It sweats....anybody else?

[dorrien12]

Ok so I had it on a little tight and afterwhile it felt funny. It seems to make my wrist sweat. So I loosened it and it still feels the same way. Gonna wear on other wrist for a day or so and switch back to see.

Anybody else having discomfort issues while wearing and loving their new Gear S?

It does a little bit but not enough to be a big deal to me

I had two other bracelets on that I usually wear on my other wrist, I believe they were the culprit. We will see.

After a run, there is a tiny bit of sweat underneath, but not from usual wear, no.

I haven't noticed any from normal wear, I wore it twice on a bike workout and didn't have any more sweat there than the rest of me.

Does your battery last all day?

Back on topic, no sweat issues for me either.

Thanks for those settings. I've adjusted a couple of mine to match yours and hope to get better battery life. How about location? Do you have that on? I just noticed I did and I don't think I need it on so I turned it off.

I don't use the location either.

I have changed two settings;

1) I now have auto forwarding off, it was showing the gear number when I called someone.
2) Remote Connect is on - so when loose Bluetooth connection I can use the phone on the gear s.

Leave your watch set so that it awakes to the last screen it was on before the screen goes to sleep. Then set your notifications to list form. With those settings, you should see your list of notifications when your raise your arm to look at the watch.
