My friend joke about S2 and say its simply a "Ben10" watch. Because of the turning of watch bezel. It's a pity cannot use to answer calls. The design is quite nice.

quite a deal breaker for me.. cannot answer calls on the watch... :(

Yes. Deal breaker for me too. Oh well, I'll just continue using my 2 year old gear 2 which can do so much more than the gear S2... including as a speakerphone and a quick action camera. Samsung keeps regressing... sigh.

I hope android wear would finally add speakerphone capability. That is the main thing stopping me from switching.

Nice launch Samsung, official launch day for display sets everywhere but no stock no stock for purchase. Only enough for preorders.

Was at Chinatown Point to collect my pre-order just now. They said they have some extra watches for walk in purchase. Those interested might want to check with them.

Watch is looking good so far, but the gear s2 apps are totally crap at the moment.

It has limited functionality with whatsapp, can view around past 10 messages and can reply to whatsapp groups/messages, but you can't initiate any convo on whatsapp just from the watch.
