[Samsung Gear S2] SurferJon:
I bought mine from Best Buy a few days ago after going to several stores and calling over a dozen of them. If you call in, they will be very unreliable and won't tell you if they actually have the watch (or, to put it another way, they'll tell you "no" even if they do have it). You have to go to the Internet orders desk and they'll help you locate one at another store. And they'll only help you if no one else is in line. In my area, I got the last one.

So here are my impressions having only owned the original Pebble Watch for a few days. Overall, I'm quite disappointed.

- There are no apps in their store. Seriously, there's like 100 total, most of them useless, and most of them you have to pay for. Most of those apps are watchfaces.

- You can barely customize the default watchfaces. Only one of them allows you to have a digital watchface with the time, day, and date. Even then, the fonts and colors are limited, and only apply to the time itself. I want a detailed watch face program that lets me put on that home screen whatever data I want, looking like how I want.

- The screen turns on when you do not intend it to, which is very distracting since you see a flash of light and think there's a notification. You can turn it off, but this makes the watch less useful. If you're in a dark room, or in bed, or driving, the light is VERY distracting too.

- Battery lasts 1.5 to less than 2 days (with very little use). With heavy use, you won't get through a day. It takes 2 hours to fully charge from 0%, which isn't bad. Be careful that you know it's charging before you go to bed or you'll wake up to a dead watch - it's very easy not to line it up correctly.

- The wheel should have been a clickwheel. You still have to touch the screen for anything. Although they tout the rotating as a huge feature, this seems a little half-ass. You still have to constantly touch the screen.

- No speaker. You can't take phone calls. Although I knew this when I bought it, it really is a huge letdown once you start using it. Especially when you're home and running around the house.

- The vibrating is so weak you barely notice it. If you're running or walking, you definitely will not notice it.

- The Bluetooth range isn't very far. I was in the shower, with my phone in the adjacent bedroom, and it always loses its connection.

- The notifications disappear once you receive them. I can't go back and read them.

- The notifications don't clear on your Galaxy phone after you've played with them on your watch. So if you use your watch all day, you'll open your phone to tons of notifications that you have to clear.

- Many notifications could just be displayed on the watch, but they make you go to your phone for them.

- Compared to some of the other watches I saw at Best Buy, the design is pretty boring and definitely not eye-grabbing. The screen is much smaller than you think, but this might be why the battery is better than other watches. You don't mind the small screen after a while.

- Again, there's no apps. You can't really do much with this watch beyond the very basics.

- There's not much to play with or customize.

Overall, it feels more "gimmick" than useful. But maybe that's all smartwatches in general? I wanted to love it, but I really don't like it.
