Hello everybody I was wondering if anyone knows anything about possibly porting the watch faces from the Gear Fit Pro in the Gear Fit Pro 2. I know that those watches are more actual fitness watches but I'm wondering is it possible that we with the gear S3 could possibly have watch faces that are more sporty or that show more about Fitness tracking on the watch face. I found a few but none that look as sleek and slim down as they do on the Gear Fit 2 pro.

Hey guys,
I would like to use the Gear for workouts. Didn't find anything workout and Gear S2 related on YouTube (ironically).
So... Does anyone have experience with Gear S2 and how it helps you when working out? Also how often it measures heart rate etc. when working out? Does it make some schemes or graphs from it? Or gives some advice? I remember the original Gear 2 being promoted as a great fitness pal. Also, how would you compare the Gear 2 (not Gear S) and Gear S2?
Thanks!
I actually made a video on youtube, showing s-health and fitness. Just google "gear s2, fitness" and mine should be up top. Look for youtuber JeremyJudkins
To answer your question about the heart rate, which I show in the video, you can pick if its frequent or less frequent.
In case you hadn't seen it thought I'd share. €399 (*standard classic price in Europe so strap is FREE). Should be picking mine up in next few days.
DETAILS
Samsung is a company to watch through the fashion deals to come. A watch to watch.
So here we are, Samsung is launching an exclusive Gear S2 BALR. Edition in The Netherlands.
Next year is shaping up as the year of fashion tech. In that light, Samsung has announced collaboration with the fashion brand BALR., just one day before the Samsung Gear S2 watch lands on the shelves in The Netherlands.
Samsung and BALR. will work together to make a special edition of Gear S2 that comes with a new watch strap and new watch face.
For those of you who haven’t heard about BALR. before, this is a Dutch luxury fashion company. The brand was founded in 2013 by 3 Dutch professional football players.
Not only sports people like the brand. Also, famous Dutch DJ’s like Hardwell and Nicky Romero are regularly using BALR. products.
The launch of the watch was made public at a private party, in the Harbour Club. Just to show how important this merger is, it’s worth to mention that in attendance were many famous football players from top clubs like Ajax, Feyenoord, Dutch stars and VIPs.
Apart from the custom straps and faces, Samsung Gear S2 BALR. Edition has a case made from a custom material that is not plastic. The company did not detail on that, but we’ll keep you updated.
On the inside, The Samsung Gear S2 BALR. Edition will record your fitness data in the 24 hr activity log and is compatible with all Android 4.4 devices and up. Just like the basic version of Samsung Gear S2.
Aside the BALR. Edition custom strap, you’ll find in the box the original Samsung Gear S2 Classic straps. Just in case you need them.
We like the Samsung Gear S2 BALR. Edition. There is no doubt; it looks better than the standard Gear S2 Classic _________________________________

Edited above. Price is European not US.
Will take photos once I've got it. Some promos for now if interested:

Edit:
OP has been edited, so disregard my comment.
Also, for the same price of the original, hell yeah, looks pretty nice. Especially because the original strap is included to change it up a bit.
Well worth it, imo

Managed to pick mine up this week for €255. Being a T-mobile VIP client and a promotion they're currently running :laugh: Bargain!! Had to wait a while for the Special Edition to come in though. Yet well worth it.
Pros
Strap is really thick and great quality but was expected being BALR.
BALR. face makes it appear bigger strangely
Auto lock is a nice feature for those prowling eyes
Music controls working for Tunein, YouTube etc. Also from watch to phone to TV when connected
Cons
Lack of sleep tracking
No open last app. Handy for music although drag down menu has option and widget can be moved next to watch face.
Standard leather straps are terrible. Really if you're buying the classic you should consider the included straps as throw away. I'm hopefully going to salvage the quick release pins into another strap.
Battery on third/forth day lasted 40 hours with above average use
WiFi & NFC out
Auto-lock on and heart rate when resting
S-voice wake-up off
Brightness varies between 2, 3 and 4 depending on face
Apps closed frequently
Mentionable watch faces so far are Gear O'Clock: Swiss Sense, Paris Journey. Infinity S2. Seconds Clock.
Decent apps I've found:
Calculator
Timer
News Republic
HERE Navigator
XENOZU (YouTube player)
NOS Nieuws (Dutch)
Theft Alert
GearTorch
Firefly (game)
SnakeClassicS2 (game)
That's it for now until I can get some pictures done. I'll add anything else I can think of in the meantime.
Hi could you help me to find the name of the white clock we see at 8:09 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9RYCeaO66k
Thanks !
"white clock"? Are you asking about the watch? Or the watch face?
At 8:09 there are two watches. On the left is a Gear S2 Classic with leather band. On the right is a Gear S2 in black., possibly a S2 3G, but I don't think anyone can tell the difference in this photo.
This video was created before or about the time of the release of the Gear S2. The promotion pics and vids show all sorts of custom faces, some of which were never released, as far as I know. The mostly white watch face on the S2 Classic could be recreated in the recently released Gear Watch Designer from Samsung.
hi all.
i am considering purchasing the s2 watch but i am in a debate between (it) and the huawei watch.
really my main concern is tizen and its software catalog.
with the s2, are there enough apps to cover its useage ?
i still have an original gear s in the drawer because (1) i dont have a samsung phone thus i cant use it and (2) theres hardly any apps for the watch.
whats good about (1) is thats covered now since the s2 works with all android phones.
so my question is:
has the apps/watch faces library grown enough?
Hello everyone,
as the title suggests, I would like to ask if it is possible to change the bezel of the gear s3 with others, for example with the bezel of the Galaxy Watch or even if there are compatible models.
I did not find much on the web, but if the possibility existed, I would personally renounce the sporty style of the gear.
At the moment I do not have the possibility to change smartwatch, but the idea of being able to change/customize the Gear it is fascinating to me.
Thanks for your time!
You can purchase stick on bezel enhancers on Amazon...
