it doesn't have the GPS to measure distance. you need the phone as GPS.

gear s2 3g version uses e-SIM, which singapore telcos have yet to implement. it will be implemented very soon in the future though..

I used the S voice to send text and it worked beautifully. .however, I tried calling and it does everything as far as the watch is concerned (show the icon that it is calling) but on my phone nothing happens (Note 4). Do I need to switch on my data? Or is it a bug?

Bought gear s2 today. what good apps to download?

The thing is running Tizen, so if you bought the gear s2 for apps variety, you are out of luck. That said, the native apps on these Samsung Gears are generally good enough, and a whole lot more reliable than those running Android Wear. I'm using a Huawei watch now, but I cannot help but miss my good old reliable Samsung Gear 2 (not the S2) which has no lag and functions reliably in making and answering calls.

After using the gear s2 for a week, I must say even though tizen may not have so many apps, overall the connection and performance are very smooth and good. I think Tizen could be a good move for Samsung perhaps for the watxh. They just need to improve it and develop more..
