I just got the Samsung Gear S2 for Christmas. So far I'm loving it. Will chime in on this thread with thoughts as I get familiar with it.

I have the Asus Zenwatch 2. Wanted to start with something simple to see if i would get a lot of use out of it. I think I'll be upgrading soon. Show your bands as well

Moto 360 v2. I already have pretty much everything listed above. Facer is another good option for custom faces for free but it drains your battery like hell.

I got the classic for Christmas but I returned it due to the fact it was too small and I couldn't use samsung pay without an s6 and above samsung phone.

Like this idea but I don't know if I can keep it charged every night. How long does the charge last on these

I'm still on the fence with buying a smartwatch. What do y'all use it for? Most frequently used apps?
make calls, turn on the speakerphone, take pics, use google apps, control music, control stuff that i'm streaming to chromecast, texting, reading emails, exercise apps
Like this idea but I don't know if I can keep it charged every night. How long does the charge last on these
mine takes about an hour to fully charge, lasts for 2 days.

Ok, what's the hottest watch out there as of Jan 2016? My analog watch just broke and I need a watch now.

how far away is your phone when you are in the gym? using bluetooth headphones? how does that setup work?

*most watches can connect via wifi
*google play music can be loaded on your watch

I have a Moto360 first gen, I still take my phone with me but I can keep it in my pocket or leave it sitting under the bench or with my towel. I can get a good 100 ft away. There has been a few times where I even left my phone in the locker and went to a different floor and not realize I didn't have my phone while playing music.

Just to be clear, music streams from your phone to your watch, then from your watch to your bluetooth headset?

You can stream from your phone and control what you listen to from your watch

Or

If you use Google Music, you can set it up to sync saved music to your watch storage and listen to it from there with your bluetooth linked to the wear device.

Samsung Galaxy Gear S. Best feature is that I can use it independent from phone. It call send and receive text and make phone call. I have access to my incoming email. t relays most of my phones notifications.

It has it own SIM Card.

The synthetic band is too hot.
