I owned the first Galaxy gear (actually two of them). I wear my Galaxy Watch most days. By far my favorite is still my Gear S watch. Your are right.. the big curved screen is amazing. I Don't understand why they dont come out with another curved rectangular watch like this one. It would blow away all compedidtors .
Samsung wanted to focus on more traditional looking watches also Apple watch got Sammy pretty competitive look up first Galaxy Watch (looked like a circle apple watch lol) and parts got more expensive
@@vernonleewarren280 That sucks. I really want to get one of these now. I think it looks great! I wonder if there's a way to get it working by having a rooted newer phone 🤔 I have the Note 20 Ultra.

I loved my Gear S, I don't know why they changed the design! When I first got it I remember I had so many people comment about my watch and ask me if it was an APPLE WATCH. I still sport the Gear S2 today, but if I could get my hands on one of these again, then I would get it. Thank you for making this video!
nah..this watch design is cold. compared to all the other ones on the market for android right now. I LOVE square shape, I dont know why they only make them round now. Theres gotta be a way to jailbreak this thing and get it to work with whatever device you want. I love the size of it.

Hi great video. I bought this watch new just like you many years ago. I'm trying to connect it on my new Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro using the Galaxy Wearable app but no luck. Any tips?
@@vernonleewarren280 It won't work on the ultra 22 I have tried and I went to t mobile the soft wear on ultra 22 won't allow it. it says the gear s won't work on phones 2021 and above
I think we should go on Samsung social media page and express our disappointment for not being able to Bluetooth the the watch on the New water app. Because it's picking them up and trying to connect Samsung has done something to prevent it from connecting. I'm 6"6 I like a big smart watches my kospet prime 2 is a real smartwatch. The gear S in in that same class I'm figure out how to put android 10.5 wear os on it and the gear 1.
Dude! I bought the watch upon your first review! A month ago, I wanted to connect it to my phone, but couldn’t for it doesn’t appear in the main list of Galaxy wearable. Help me please !
Works with my note 20 ultra, have to open wearable app, then in setting the plus symbol to add new device. Turn watch on an factory reset it. It should come up to pair, then it will download a plug in to your phone and work.
So the Gear S does not connect with 2020+ phones (even with the Wearable app) but you can still connect it via Bluetooth (TH-cam it for directions) but it's only a basic connection, no shared contacts , email, messaging nor fancy controls.
Need help. I bought one October 2023 off Facebook because of the shape and size of the display. Tried to pair it with my Samsung S22 ultra but I keep getting a message saying after 2021 Samsung phones don't support the older watches

Strange ive never heard of this before today (2022-25-07). Saw it was 7 years old....... Still looking for that smartwatch that will replace my phone which feels like a brick that i never use! Idea, remake this watch, with a arm band that is a battery on the underside, with a winch screw on one or both sides of the arm to make that perfect fit.
