There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Apps. They are limited but there are apps for almost anything you need. Not everything but close. I have yet to use the GPS apps (yes apps -plural- because there's more than just one GPS app unlike what most of the reviews I read caused me to believe) but I will be trying that app out in the next week.
Faces. There are so many watch faces that I'm not sure where to begin. I've used Mario, Zelda, and Goldeneye (I love my video games). Any watch face I've searched for, I've also found. Some may cost $0.99 and up but there are a ton of free ones to choose from. I haven't paid for any faces yet. I'm very happy with the free ones available.
Watch Bands. I wanted the Android OS so bad that I almost bought the Moto 360 Sport. This would have been an incredible mistake. You can't change the band on the Motorola but you can on the Samsung. I've already got a new watch band on the way.
Battery Life. I've had this watch for 3 days. I received it, synced it, played around with it, then I fully charged it (I received it with 67% battery life). I just had to charge it for my first time. It lasted me maybe an hour short of 3 days with average use. I'm thoroughly happy with this considering I was used to the Fitbit Blaze which didn't last more than 1 day. The difference is that the Fitbit's heart rate sensor stays on all the time. The Samsung Gear Sport has 3 settings for this. Off, frequent, and always on. I left mine on frequent so it checked my heart rate every 10 minutes instead of constantly.
Water resistance. I'm not a sporty individual. I work in the medical field though so I wash my hands a lot. I also give the occasional shower to help my patients. So this was important. It's lasted through at least 4 showers in 3 days and my continuous hand washing. So far, no issues whatsoever.
Steps. I love seeing how many steps I can get in a shift. A lot of my friends like to see who can get the most. This makes the day fly by so the step accuracy is nice. After using this a few days, I noticed my step count dropped a bit compared to the Fitbit. Then I learned why. I can shake my Fitbit and get steps (almost like an old school pedometer) but the Gear Sport isn't fooled. It knows when you're getting steps verses painted a wall or just shaking your watch. I LOVE that it knows the difference.
A few bonuses I've noticed: it tracks my sleep and how well I rest at night. My fitbit did this and it was a feature that wasn't easy to give up so having this on my new Gear Sport too was a huge bonus. I also love that I can keep up with my water/coffee intake straight from my watch instead of having to use my phone. Healthcare management doesn't care for Nurses pulling their phones out at the desk or the hallways. I can also reply to texts and emails straight from my watch. The handwriting thing is pretty nice but it needs a bit of work to be perfect (it's constantly changing my words into all caps). Although you can't make a call from the watch, you can accept and ignore calls straight from your wrist, as well as, send the caller a quick text saying that you're at work or busy, etc.
There's so much more that I haven't discovered on this watch yet and I can definitely tell this is my first real smartwatch but I've already had a ton of compliments on it.
And just for the record, the bezel makes navigating the Gear Sport so easy!
So yes, I give this watch 5 stars. But I also know that things can change so my review may change but as of right now, I'm in love!
Update: 2 years later and the watch is still going strong. I'm a Nurse so this watch has seen it all including deep hand washing, PPE sweat, etc and no problems at all. Just today, I realized it was time for an upgrade. All-in-all, I'm still incredibly pleased with this watch. I've put it through everything and it's still going.

Weaknesses:
Battery life - this one comes with a caveat, the battery life is very good for the size and power of this watch, I always wear a watch and hate that I have to take this thing off every third night to charge it. It would be great if Samsung could design an easily replaceable battery so you could have a second battery on the charger.
I almost don't need my phone. This watch is not fully functional without the phone (calls, internet, etc.), but pretty close. I've downloaded playlists to the watch and gone for a run without my phone, which is the whole point. I do wish it had the Pandora app as I've been using Pandora for years, but Spotify has been fine thus far. It accurately tracks distance, pacing (Only tested in open areas, not downtown NYC) and heart rate. The quick release band design is so simple I don't know how we didn't have this 100 years ago, but it is awesome. I can switch bands in under 30 seconds, so I can go from my rubberized band for working out to a metal band for work in the same amount of time I would have used in changing watches. And when I get home I can swap again to a leather band to go out to dinner with my wife.
I was skeptical about the sleep tracker as I was always showing the same sleep pattern after the first 10 days, but then I got the flu and noticed a massive shift in my sleep pattern via the watch, it looked like I felt. While I wouldn't bet the house on it being perfectly accurate, it definitely defines your sleep trends and allows you to adjust as necessary.
I have yet to use it swimming, but I am headed to the beach in the spring and am looking forward to trying it out in the ocean. And I swim when from spring through fall (live in AZ) and this was the only watch in the price range that was actually submersible.
I like the messaging capability and ability to see who is calling without digging out my phone. This is especially useful when you're in a meeting and need to know if you need to take the call or if it can go to voicemail. Just set the watch and phone to vibrate and glance at the watch.
The PowerPoint controller works fantastic. I was expecting to be able to move slides forwards/backwards, but the watch lets me move the pointer as well so you can follow hyperlinks or point out specifics.
The bezel selector is awesome, much better than trying to select icons with your finger on a small watch face. Solid yet fluid movement. It makes the menus easy to access and simple to navigate.
Size: I have smaller wrists (7 inches around) and was worried the watch would look too big and get in the way. Not an issue at all. I sleep with the watch on with no problems. Just turn the wake-up gesture off. It is very comparable to my Citizen EcoDrive in size.
I highly recommend this watch unless you want to be able to use it fully without your phone nearby, then you need to upgrade. For anyone who's fine with a watch that does everything but make phone calls and access the internet without a phone/Wi-Fi nearby, this is the watch for you. And let's be honest, how often are you not in range of Wi-Fi/cell phone anyways?

The upshot is that I carried around an analog watch in my pocket in case my gear sport died during the day. That really killed the experience for me.
