Purchased Mar-2018. I also own & use the Gear Fit2 Pro daily. The Gear S has been amazing. Works as expected. Was surprised these prices were still fairly high. The larger screen allows for easier glimpses for info. I get tons of looks b/c the larger size. I've downloaded 3rd-party watch faces to personalize. Using Samsung Gear app - I can quickly switch fitness band to use - while both stay paired to my G-Note8. I wear to work, exercise, yard work, etc. Can function as stand-alone mobile phone & can connect to WiFi separately. I prefer to use it paired to my phone - as I can answer phone calls & have full conversation through the device. So it's a great handsfree phone too. I recently purchased a metal bracelet wristband which adds to many reasons why I like the Gear S.
