I have Samsung Pay on my S2 and a PIN set, almost never have to enter PIN unless I remove the watch (have it off for charging or shower, etc.). I set a very simple PIN (1 digit, followed by three repeating digits and even w/my fat fingers it's easy to do when I need to.

The problem w/S Pay on the watch for me is the lack of support for NFC pay in most of the places I shop. MST on my S7E works perfectly almost everywhere (people on the register will gape at me and say "Wow, what phone is that, no one else's phones can do that here...") and only having NFC on the watch is annoying. I have the S2 classic platinum and find the size/look perfect, but am starting to think about an S3 just to get S Pay on it that will actually be useful. But...the S3 is such a giant beast of a watch <ick>.
[Samsung Gear S2] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I'm guessing you're talking different hardware, so it would be more of a port from the S3 to the S2. I haven't seen anything yet, well that was really functional.
[Samsung Gear S2] Clarens:
Hi, as we can do similar things on phones like for example in my Galasy S5 make it like an S7 I thought that maybe it could be possible similar things with tinzen watches.

Idea is to get a real allways on device on gear S2 like it's possible to do with S3
[Samsung Gear S2] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I get what you're saying. But if you're looking for an Always On feature, that is already possible on the S2 with the latest firmware update. In that update we got some S3 features.

To get the Always On feature enabled, go to Apps, Settings, Styles... It's the second option on the list.
[Samsung Gear S2] Clarens:
Thanks. Not as good as s3 with color but it will be better than nothing.

Good night...
[Samsung Gear S2] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I'm guessing that's more hardware than software related. I know what you mean I see the differences between the S2 faces and the S3. If I could find an S3 for $150 or less I would not about get one :D
[Samsung Gear S2] ERR83:
there is an improvement in battery life?
[Samsung Gear S2] Redflea:
I was at ~70% last night after a full day (8:30 AM 100%). I charged my watch to 100% before bed at 11 pm, and woke up w/96% battery - I think that's pretty good considering it's sleep tracking all night.
[Samsung Gear S2] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Battery life is very subjective. I had the way about a month before I got the firmware update, I haven't really noticed a difference. (This is on a T-mobile version but mobile data is turned off).

I get about two days out of the watch. I have "Always On" turned off, WiFi is on auto, brightness is at 3 and volume is at 8. Then I have 'Do Not Disturb' turned on from midnight until 8am (by schedule) every night.I have the watch turn on to display new notifications. I charge at night, and usually am at 5-10% by the second night.

Seems to work well. Don't have many apps installed, but I do have a few that update every hour to few hours (like weather, heart rate, Alti-Barometer, etc).
[Samsung Gear S2] warriorvibhu:
Ok you might b able to help me out, where do you set the frequency of heart rate, i want auto like every hour or every 10 minutes. I could not find that setting on S health and googled the sh** out of it.

Edit 1 : if it helps i am using non Samsung phone (Shouldnt matter though)
[Samsung Gear S2] rlichtefeld:
In the SHealth app on the watch. Rotate right to the last "tab": Settings. Then, there is "Auto HR". You can choose Frequent, Moderate or Off. Moderate will attempt to measure every hour.

Rob
[Samsung Gear S2] warriorvibhu:
Edit Removed - Sorry
[Samsung Gear S2] warriorvibhu:
That was amazingly helpful.. With moderate it wasnt measuring anything at all.. So. Now changed to frequent.. Might be a defective one.. Never know.. But thanks a lot... Seriously..
[Samsung Gear S2] rlichtefeld:
If it isn't reading, try tightening your watch band. If it attempts to read and can't "see" your skin, it won't take a reading.

Rob
[Samsung Gear S2] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Hey Rob.... I completely agree with [MENTION=587077]warriorvibhu[/MENTION]. I have an aftermarket band, to let the watch sit a little more like a regular analog metal band watch. I have my heart rate set to check every hour. My band isn't super loose, but it's not death grip tight on my wrist. Most of the time it checks hourly, but every now and then (maybe a handful times a week) it will miss an hour or two... and then the heart rate will say it was last checked 2-3 hours ago. Nature of the beast though.

You might want to check, and even clean the surface on the back of the watch. Maybe there is something on it that is causing the scan to be corrupted. If the watch is new, and you keep having issues... you might want to get the watch services. Could be a sign of a defect on the main board inside the watch...?

Got the update!

So I got the update today - version R732XXU2EPK5. Lots of changes going on here: I'll bulletpoint as much as I can of what I've seen that hasn't already been mentioned in the changelog:

Animations have been updated. There's a neat little fade effect which switching from your watch face to a widget or your notifications, and vice versa (previously the watch face would just swing into view)

Gear S3 watchfaces are downloadable from the store

The music app's been updated and you can FINALLY select songs from your phone on it in a playlist, by swiping up from the bottom of the app itself. This DOES work with Google Play music playlists too. The "Play from Gear/Phone" toggle's also been moved onto the main screen itself (as well as the widget).

Some new S-Health widgets and features - the Inactive alert now has an option called "Stretch" which tells you to do, well, stretches (complete with diagrams!). It's pretty hilarious. All the widgets appear to be updated too.

Supposedly, third-party apps can now have widgets (this is in the release changelog)

The quick-access shade from the watch face has been revamped slightly - the icons for music, brightness etc now have no white backdrop. It looks real neat, and has a cool animation to go with it

Icon changes for some of the in-built apps

The weather widget seems to show a bit more info than before

The Settings app has two new categories - Style, which is basically the face selector, Always On toggle, font etc, and Connect to New Phone, which is handy (basically a light reset). Not much else that I can see here though

I'll see if there's anything else that I've missed, but overall the watch just seems snappier and I love it. I can also provide screenshots of some of these new features if anybody wants them.
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Verizon still hasn't released the summer update, so we won't get any love for a LONG time I'm sure... Such bs. This watch really needs something to breathe new life into it.

Hi, I had that, I got the update and managed to install a few new watchfaces from the S3, now, I had to reset my watch because it wouldn't connect to the phone and I can't find the watchfaces again. Any help?

I need at least the names of the new watchfaces to look for them in the galaxy apps store.

When you installed the watchfaces, do you remember if they were in a separate category or where they mixed with the the rest of the watch faces?

[Samsung Gear S2] JohnnyCarlos:
I only dowloaded the Frontier and the Chronograph+. However, at this moment, I'm only finding Chronograph+. However, I still have both installed.

Also, AltiBarometer app is not available anymore (I have it installed).

The region is france, the watch is a S2 classic and the phone is an iPhone 7 with the latest leaked gear s3 app.

I noticed that today the gear app store changed (a lot). Now, with the leaked gear s3 app, the back button works.
[Samsung Gear S2] JohnnyCarlos:
All my installed watch faces are in a separate category...
[Samsung Gear S2] aureloctavian:
I noticed the same thing with the gear manager app, but only after i reinstalled the app. Also, now it crashes a lot when accessing the galaxy apps section. I did not get the update for the gear s2 though. I live in romania
[Samsung Gear S2] kta:
Thanks mate, unfortunately I cannot see any of them on the store, not even the Chronograph one which you said is still showing on yours.

I literally just swapped my Huawei Mate with an S7 Edge just to get the full potential of the watch. And now this!! [emoji22]

Maybe you reinstalled the app at the time the store changed. I didn't reinstall it and it changed by itself.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

By searching for the watchface I cannot find it. The only way I find it is by going to "my apps" menu. But for some reason only the chronograph is showing. The frontier and the alti barometer are not. :confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] MasterTB:
I found them by searching for "Samsung", now, they are gone. Sh*****t, tough luck. Also they updated the interface on the galaxy apps store, maybe they removed them? If that's the case, Samsung sucks, again.
[Samsung Gear S2] kta:
They work in mysterious ways [emoji3] I mean what was wrong in including them directly in the build unless they intend to make them available only in certain regions? Going by what you're saying it doesn't seem to be the case though.

Since is was using the Gear Manager app for iOS, I had to update my watch on the watch itself and not the Manager app. Maybe this is a quicker method because early in the morning when I did have my Note5, the update was available.

[Samsung Gear S2] dom19:
For those that received the update - has the always on display been improved? Is it like the S3 where the watch stays lit up (does not dim to black and white watchface even though always on display is toggled)?
