Here are initial photos of my Classic with different watch faces.
I will post more photos after changing my watch straps, but so far, I'm loving this smartwatch!
Rolling a brown leather strap (don't care for black leather on a black watch) and a Captain America face I made on Mr. TimeMaker
Here is mine with watch faces I made with MrTimeMaker.
I will be getting two brown straps soon, will post an updates. :good:
Got a new strap!
My dark brown leather strap arrived today!
I say it looks much better than the default black strap!
@arbores (1st poster)
Very nice Watch faces, too!
Where did you get them?
-ThyMaster
It's called Gear O'Clock Swiss Sense.
You can change background colors also on that watch face.

Matching watch face!
It's fun to match the watch face designs to the dark brown leather strap.
Here's what I had for a group presentation today.
The watch face name is "Fusion."
Here are some photos of my classic.

That is a gorgeous strap, where did you get it. I am just about to pull the trigger on my first SW. Figured the GS2 will pair up nicely with my Note 5

I got the strap from Amazon. If you search for ceramic 20mm, you will find it. It comes from China so it takes awhile to be delivered.

That looks wonderful!
I have ordered the same band a couple of weeks ago and am waiting patiently while enjoying the brown leather strap for now.
Does everyone here have small wrists, I'd say mine are average male but the watch look tiny.
In all the photos here the watches look nice and chunky
Post a picture of your arm.
Might not be as average as you think.
Anyway, the watch is big enough. Bigger and you cant wear it in the gym,
which is a sellingpoint for me. My watch from Certina is just a little bit bigger.

It's a question of personal taste. I've got used to large watches but I figured the Gear S2 classic would be perfect since I have small wrists. Once I got it though, my first thought was that it was so small lol. Tbh I would prefer it if it was slightly larger, but it's not really a "small" watch...If anything, it's standard size but may be too small for anyone used to the oversized watches currently in style. My two cents, in the end it comes down to what you want on your wrist I guess

True is the same as a few of my watches but I think the measly 20 mm strap don't help.
I found my Gear 2 was big and could not slide under my shirt cuffs, be nice trying the S2 out tomorrow.
Ceramic strap just arrived!
Gear S2 Classic looks great with my newly arrived ceramic strap.
The surface finish of the strap fits well with the Gear S2 Classic's ceramic coated surface, as if it's made for the watch originally! Love it~

Just finalized the design for the original Galaxy Gear Full Protection Skin. Next will be the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo & Gear Fit.
Link to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773062
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL THREAD FOR GALAXY GEAR (FIRST GEN.).
GEAR 2, NEO AND FIT WILL BE SIMILAR:
PROJECT FINISHED!
So after another full day of measurements and trial-n-error ... I finally got a finished product, well a few actually ... well a finished product with a few options lol.
Right now I'm rocking the Black skin on my Gear Gen.1 and it looks awesome! SO clean and sleek looking with just enough chrome to set it off with an expensive luxury look, but is now fully protected on all of its sensitive spots. The clasp protector was originally made because as a graphic designer, my wrist settled and was banged on a desk basically 8 hours a day, and that was my cure to keep my watch looking brand new. The full face idea came just for the option to change the color of my watch, the stainless steel looks great and all, but gets played out and sometimes just looks too much ... But I dealt with it, not really having any time to sit and work the schematics for a full face protector. Then it got to the point where I had to hang a towel over the hand railing of the treadmill because every once in a while I would accidently bang my watch off of it while doing my cardio at the gym, luckily the steel has held up well and I've always had one of my screen protectors on it, so it hasn't really been a big deal.
Now with a finished product in hand and on my wrist, I'm just kind of pissed I "back burnered" this project for so long! lol. As I stated before, I know everyone has kind of moved on to the new Gear 2 and the Gear 1 is kind of old news, But I still sell GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors on a daily basis so I know there's still somewhat of a market for stuff like this. Regardless, I'll have my hands on a GG2 here soon to play around with and while doing so I will have a chance to get the measurements for this type of product for the new Gear 2 and possibly Gear Fit, neither have a speaker in the clasp, But I know the Gear 2 has a stainless steel clasp, and speaker or not, that thing is getting banged up ugly from daily use. So all the GG2 people, stay tuned because that project is just around the corner.
Since I originally dropped the GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors at the end of last year I've seen a boom in people selling products like it on web-stores and places like eBay & Amazon, I'm not saying in anyway that I invented these, But when I made them, the Gear was fresh on the shelves and I couldn't find anything to protect the exposed/sensitive parts of my $300 investment, and once sold to the general public they really took off! and I thank the people here at XDA especially for being my "Beta Testers" in a way and hopefully the people who bought them here were completely satisfied! It was extremely shocking that something I made for fun/necessity turned into an actual marketable successful product and doing it literally as a one man team was a bit much at times, but awesome! ANYWAYS! the difference between what is currently being offered when it comes to full face protectors for the GG1 and what I was able to put together is, my skin covers the ENTIRE front of the gear, As far as I've seen on the net, they only cover the top and bottom portion of the Gears stainless steel face (If I am missing any out there by all means piss on my parade lol) mine are designed to cover the entire front for full protection as well as the option to change the look of the Gear all together. Pretty cool I think.
With all this being said, the only real challenge I faced upon finishing the design was getting the skin onto the Gear and on correctly, the material used for the skin is very flimsy and hard to maneuver, kind of like putting a screen protector on a phone, but worse! lol.
BUT! within a few minutes I had a solution, which was actually a perfect solution. Not only did it do the trick of being able to easily handle the material while putting the face protector on, it made it extremely easy to keep the skin perfectly straight and allow the installer to line everything up perfect for a perfect hassle-free installation (when done correctly) so I am pretty excited about it, and when these become available to the public (Very Soon!) that installation material will be sold with the protectors.
I've also decided to scratch selling the Clasp Protector by itself now that the Face Protector is done and they will be sold as a set, overall less confusing for the customer and myself when it comes to filling an order and just makes more sense. But now that I have a few color options available (more coming very soon!) I think I would be willing to mix and match colors/patterns with the Face & Clasp Protectors if anyone asked.
On that note as you will see in the pictures I currently have 4 color options available:
- BLACK (Jet-Black)
- PURPLE (Deeper Purple, Almost Plum)
- GRAY (Storm Cloud Gray, somewhat close to the gray color offered by Samsung on the Gear 1)
- GREEN (Darker, sort-of hunter Green)
COLORS/PATTERNS I PLAN TO HAVE VERY SOON:
The original Chrome/Steel color I offered with the GG1 Clasp Protectors which seamlessly matched the stainless on the GG1.
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- White
- Brown
- Orange
- Carbon Fiber
- Leopard/Zebra Print
And any other Miscellaneous colors/patterns I can get my hands on, just to offer a wide variety and the buyer the option to uniquely express themselves.
And now for the new pictures (Better detail and well-lit pictures to come):
SAME ORIGINAL CLASP PROTECTOR JUST MATCHED WITH FACE SKIN.
And just to show off a little bit of the design aspect of what goes into designing something like this:
Let me know what you think! I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!
Hey, I love what you got going on here, I can beta test for you if you want? I had a protective full body skin on my gear from amazon & it sucked ass! I like the execution of your design & the variety of colors/patterns, would love to have one on my gear =)
So do you have an eBay link to your gear 2 neo sets? I would love a carbon fiber skin set and maybe a couple of others. Thanks and great work.

Will the protectors be waterproof? If that is what you are asking, they should have no problem being submerged in water, but I have not tested that, once a seal is made between the watch and vinyl protectors it should have no problem with water.
Oops never mind I thought the case was actually a case
Have the carbon fibre ones been dropped? I was planning on getting one on payday

Yes stickers of watch faces to make it look better. Mine is a real watch face of an old watch I had and it fits just right and it looks classic. I can remove it and stick it back on any time. But sticker would look good too.

Looks cool! Just so you know, the wheel that turns is called a "bezel". The part on the wheel that has numbers and markings is called a "bezel insert", and a "watch face" on a smartwatch is the type of dial you choose in the app store or on your watch. Mixing up the terms can get confusing. So...did you replace the entire bezel on the gear s2 with another one from a real watch (including the bezel insert), or did you keep the original bezel and just added a bezel insert from another watch?

Thanks for clearing that for me. I'll change the title and no I didn't replaced the bezel I just stick on an older watch bezel that I remove it from. I had to trim it thin to stick it on to the gear s2. I added ne pictures.
I haven't gotten my S3 yet but when I do i'm going to look for a few straps. Probably pick up a leather strap at the samsung retail store but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them here.
I Ordered 3 straps from amazon.
One leather and two metals. They are less than $15 each. Samsung will cost you a lot more.

here is the amazon link for that one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EPGZ67G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the colors match perfectly for the polished stainless parts and the machined finish parts in the middle are pretty close to the same texture as the bezel on the classic. It really makes the watch a lot more attractive and I've gotten quite a few compliments from people that just notice a nice looking watch on my wrist.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately it doesn't ship to where I live (nothern Europe).
I ordered the Samsung Aligator Brown and plain Black leather straps for my Frontier, only tried the Brown (looks way better in the box than the black).
Transforms the watch into a very chunky premium looking beast, strap loses the bulk of the horrible rubber strap.
Strap itself though feels hard and cheap underneath, length wise the slots are all wrong i barely get the the 3rd hole, but don't mind as then less strap excess hanging out.
Bought it direct from Samsung UK online.

I like it, although I don't love the gap between the watch and the band - you can see it in the third picture. I'm not sure if it's going to be different with any other band, but seems like it would look better with just a little thicker band around the connection pin.
I had gotten the V-Moro one, which looked nice, but didn't have the fine adjustment of length at the clasp, just the ability to remove links, which left me either too tight, or too loose.
Received a red Stingray leather watch band from Suisse Courroie.

I ordered the below from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0733B1HB1/ref=pe_3034960_233709270_TE_item
Xuexy 20mm Full Ceramic Watch Band Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Gear S2 Classic (SM-R7320/SM-R735) Moto 360 2nd Gen 42mm 2015 Pebble Time Round,Black
Shipping was quick as it always is with Amazon. The black ceramic watch band (20mm) fit my Huawei Watch 2 (not classic) quite well, and made a nice improvement to the sport band it came with. The tools made changing the band and removing a link easy as well. Took about 10 minutes to do everything. I think it makes the watch look great, and I am very happy for the price.
Seems to be the same band they have on Ebay for slightly less, but I did not want to wait 2 months for it.
I do not have any complaints as of yet, and would make the purchase again.
Thought I would post this so people are aware 20mm bands work with the watch, and could see how it looks with this watch.
The watch face is thema's Swift Watch Face - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.thema.wear.watch.swift&hl=en
My main concern with this watch is that the arms/grips/*whatever you want to call that area where band clip goes* is just too big for 3rd party bands to seamlessly integrate with the watch. I bought a leather strap, but the size of the watch itself is soo huge that the strap looked like a teensy thread compared to the watch. if you notice, the factory fitted strap actually has 'side flaps' type design near the clip area increasing the strap width, which at least gives a smooth look to the watch overall in terms of size..

That is what I noticed with the Milanese Loop Band I tried - far too small for the watch and it looked silly. The ceramic one is a lot thicker and nicer, and looks great in my opinion. I just found the original to look a little cheap.

I personally don't prefer the ceramic/metal straps since I sometimes have to adjust the strap on the go, which of course is not possible with these types of straps
I really want Huawei to release some straps for its watches...
It looks shiney in the photos. I'd prefer something in flat black to match the watch body. If any one finds one similar in flat black please post.
Hi, I need a new watch Strap for my watch 4 classic.
It needs to be longer in length than the standard Samsung one that came with the watch as I am an ambulance driver and must be bare below the elbow for hygiene reasons.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations please.
Thanks
Currently I'm waiting for these both to be delivered to try them and see which is bigger.
Velcro
Elastic

Go for the elastic, it's HUGE. When I used magnetic metal bands I had to get the ones that were over 10in max length to get them on and off my wrist without taking the strap off the loop. This elastic one I can get on and off with it at 75% ish not even fully open. It stretches that much, you'll be happy.
Here's some pics of it on my wrist to show you how much is left to open it that I don't need
You need a long band because you job wants you to be bare below the elbow?? That kind of doesnt make much since as a watch fits on your wrist and thats below your elbow to begin with!! LOL! Sounds like you shouldnt be wearing at watch at all but regardless, are you looking for a strap that doesnt slip and slide up and down your arm or some sort of an elastic strap that can be removed easily? Heres what I use as I work construction and with a big fat watch I'm always grabbing on something in a weird position and my watch used to get hooked on stuff and slide onto more of my wrist and I'd always scratch myself up and wind up bleeding because of it. I'ts a big fat leather strap I bought from a seller on Etsy from Poland named Dganin. Here makes some fine leather craft, a bit on the expensive side but well worth it! I bought one for my Frontier S3 years ago and just got another for my Galaxy Watch 4..........
