Definitely top as a successor to my LG G Watch R.
The leather strap is ok, but it was replaced by a black stainless steel strap, which looks even better.
Runs very smoothly, sufficient runtime with Always On (approx. 1 day).
It takes some getting used to that it is not always visible that notifications are available.
Overall: Currently the best smartwatch

A smartwatch that convinces all along the line.
About the battery life, which is often criticised....
After 24 hours, I still have about 45-50% battery.
By default, services are activated that are not absolutely necessary, but still suck in the background.
My Gear is mostly used together with my mobile phone, so I have deactivated wi-fi.
This has a massive impact on the energy balance.

No call function.
Very good smartwatch that basically does everything you expect.

The Gear S2 is really a successful smartwatch. It is easy to use, looks really good and offers many functions.
I've been using it with my Samsung Galaxy S7 for weeks now and I'm really satisfied. I have to make concessions when it comes to battery life. But when I switch it off at night, it easily lasts 3 days.
What bothers me a lot, however, is that the display is very susceptible to scratches. In my opinion, that shouldn't be the case with a watch in this price range.
Unfortunately, you can only see the latest message from WhatsApp. However, this can be remedied with the W-History app.
