Overall good and I will keep the watch, but there are some things.
First the good:
* Battery life is fine once you get rid of all the things you don't need. I don't need wifi or NFC, which seriously impacts battery life. I usually go 2 days.
* Visibility - this was a bit plus for my Pebble. With the GS2 I can see and read the screen easily in daylight with brightness set on 5. It literally takes 2 seconds to lower it before going to sleep.
* Apps - no issues. I don't use my watch to talk to the ISS, just to count my steps, check weather, text/email, that sort of thing.
Now the bad:
* Honestly, the vibration sucks. It's barely noticeable which means I miss things. Not quite a show stopper, but close. REALLY close.
* Had some issues with notifications stopping. Not sure why but it fixed with a restart on the phone.
* Step and weather do not automatically update on the hour as set in settings. They are supposed to. I have to enter the program to get it to update.
* Customer support is pretty much nonexistent. I get a fairly good response from forums and sometimes on FB. But none of the negatives have been addresses by Samsung in a workable way. It's all SOP answers.
One more thing and it's not an "issue". Watch faces. Getting one that does what I like, looks like I like, and is the color I like isn't easy. It WILL get better and there are some nice faces out there. Just a tiny thing.
How are you finding your GS2 after awhile?
