I purchased this watch the day it was released. I love finish of the metal. I read somewhere that they coat the exterior in a black ceramic. The bezel action is ingenious! I love that apps are a turn to the right and notifications are a turn to the left. The first turn to the right, has an apps button. The first item in that button is to close recent apps. I really like that as well. I don’t care for the leather band. I prefer bands that don’t have buckles and I don’t like it when leather gets creases. I wish Samsung would release more bands preferably matching metal or ceramic bands for the classic watch. My battery lasts almost a full 4 days on a single charge. That’s a fantastic battery life in my opinion! The fastest way to type is by voice and it’s fairly accurate. The default keyboard is like the one that is in non-smart phones. Once a person gets used to it, it can be quick. There is also a rotating alphabet keyboard. It’s gimmicky, but fun to play with. It seems to be the least efficient keyboard.
Some of the apps work great, and some of the ones from the app store don’t work. The music controls work for any music app that is currently running on the phone. I am looking forward to more working apps in the store. I wish Google now were available on this device as I am not as comfortable saying “go to the internet to see what the score for…” Rather than to say “what’s the score for…” S voice is much better than in the past, however it doesn’t do a good job at recognizing proper names when I’m trying to call someone.
I tested the heart rate app next to a tracker I currently own. The heart rate was within a beat of each other. I wish there was an available setting to where we could select the interval for the auto check. I would like to set it to be more frequent. The steps I believe are more accurate on the S2 as my other tracker also recognizes arm movements as steps. I do wish it would also recognize the sleep rather than it being manually input on the S Health app. It can be done as my other tracker does it nicely.
Samsung would do it a great service by updating a few features and also apps. I know I’ve mentioned a few things that I believe it can do better, but all in all, I love this watch. It’s a great, innovative device with a fantastic battery.

I spent a great deal of time with the in store demo while I preordered my new Tab S. It's fast and amazing with the 2 quad core CPU's and the 3 GB of RAM. The speakers are very good. Like the note 8, they have them on each end of the tablet. I was surprised and a bit disappointed that it's not USB 3.0 like my Galaxy S5. The display is fantastic! I can't wait to play movies on it! It has no hesitation whatsoever when switching apps or going through settings. To top it off it looks good! Loving the titanium bronze and the darker trim. I can't wait for Friday to get here so I can pick mine up!

Horrible device, great display. Returned after experiencing lag that is not present in my Tab 2 7 1ghz dual core, on 2 year old games. This device is trash at this point, maybe an update will make it usable eventually. I'm done with Samsung.

What Lag?

I have experienced no lag whatsoever with my Tab S. The only thing I noticed were apps that were glitchy, but they were glitchy with any device I used so there's no way I would blame that on this superior device...
