Samsung should release is a nice dock stand for these watches. I hated the Galaxy Gear 'photo frame' cradle. I am not very keen on the new 'snap on' cradle for the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo.
I do not mind either cradle for occasional data transfer/connection, but for daily charging, why can't they sell the charging cradle they give to retailers to display the watches..
It sits on the counter, you take the watch off and just sit it into the cradle. There is a small magnet inside that pulls your watch into place and keeps it firmly connected to the two charging pins. It's already been designed and manufactured, now just make them in both white and black and offer them for sale. I'll take two.

I don't see a power connection to those store docks. Do they have one to charge the watch?

Those do have a charging cord that comes out the back/bottom of the unit. They only have 2 pogo pins, not 5, so they are for charging only. That's how they keep the display watches charged. I checked out on of the units at Best Buy and tried to convince they guy to sell it to me. but he wouldnt/couldnt.
Here is another angle of a retail dock. We obviously don't need the security cord.
I would love to have this to, I pass by the Swedish Samsung office sometimes. I could ask them if they would sell me some

I have tried the local Samsung store here, that directed me to their call center, that directed me to another call center, that said they are only sent to retailers and sent back to Samsung after...
I really want one of these charging stands for my new Gear 2
possible problem?
So i ran some small magnets over the back of my watch and in the small space that the back has, I think there would need to be four magnets to hold it in a:
+-
-+
configuration, but even after doing it I didn't create the same pull that the store stands do. I have a experiment that I'd like someone to run (I won't be going to a bestbuy for awhile). Go in with your gear 2, and neo, and try to put yours on the store stand. Does the stand attract it the same? I am worried that the stronger magnetism is a store version with an alternative (ferrous) backplate to the watch...
If I'm wrong, then I actually might start designing a stand and placing the pins and magnet in it, print the object and ship it for you guys to enjoy. Also, the base seems a bit shower stall like, I may reduce the footprint and make some design changes.

Cradles for Gear 2 in Black or White
I have those cradles if someone needs one. In Black or Creamy White. Not sure what the rules are on this forum and don't want to violate the admin rules. Here is what they look like.
Let me know if someone is interested.
Thanks.

Yep. in order to be fair to the admin of the forum, I might suggest a search on ebay of: Galaxy Gear 2 / Gear 2 Neo Charging Cradle.
I have not seen them anywhere else.
Enjoy.

I understand what you are saying, but Ebay's fee's are really high. Then add Paypal fees and you can see it adds up quick.
Also the wimpy charger that comes with the Gear 2 is $40 and it's a pain to use.
I know the cradle is not for everyone, but for some like myself it is much more convenient and practical. Plus it is a better way to protect your Gear 2 when not in use.
If you were to order a larger quantity like 10 units I could work a better price.
Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you very much

The charger gear 2 is 15$ from samsung. Ebays fees are not that high, nor is paypals. But to each his own. I'll also wait for bb to do something with theirs. Thank you

Looks like the price came down since I last saw it. I just looked and it is $19.99 on Samsung website.
Again, it is not a purchase for everyone but at least it's an additional choice for some.
Thanks again.

captain1212, do you still have either of these charging cradles? I would like to buy one from you (preferably the black one if possible).
Hi all,
I've smashed the screen on my smartwatch 2 and would like to get it fixed rather than getting a new smartwatch. Has anyone replaced the screen before? If so do you have any advice? Where can you get replacement screens from?
Thanks.

I'm wondering this also, Have a crack going straight through the center horizontally. It doesnt affect anything, but I don't even know when it happened. Looked down and it was there. figure anything out? Thanks
I didn't sort this out sorry. I tried the official Sony channels (I'm in Australia), and they don't repair the screens, just replace the whole piece. Not surprisingly this would cost the same as simply buying a new one. So as far as I know, these can't be repaired. I'm more than happy to be corrected though.
This happen even to me. The watch fell down from my table besides the sofa.
One air jump in about 60 centimeters...There goes my watch!
I contacted Sony support and got advice to contact repair center.
After contacted repair center I got the answer...
They don't repair any Smart Watch, but they offer me a new watch for about 1500 to 1600:- Skr.
Which in fact is the same as throw the broken watch and directly buy a new one...?
So it's hard to recommend Sony Smartwatch to my friends.
Hey, I have bought a samsung galaxy s8+ (SM-G955F) in the netherlands.
I want to get a Gear VR for it, but im not sure which one i should get because i don't know if it will fit inside
Does anyone know?

Hi,
I bought the 2016 gear vr sm-r323 model.
On the box it's for the s7, s7 edge, s6 etc.....
I paid £45 from amazon which is very cheap.
I have the s8+ and it fits in the gap fine, there is however a slight rise on the top end of the phone which falls into the adjustable end by only 1mm.
Using the vr I haven't noticed any issues no light gaps etc...
I'm currently waiting for my motion controller to arrive from mobilefun which was £50.
I do have pics but can't post any yet.
Looking around there is the vr bundle which has the sm-r324 version of the gear vr but this might be a newer wider version so there isn't that 1mm rise or just the same n different model no as its the bundle version.
I'm trying to find a comparison between the 2 using the s8+.
Thanks
I've been wanting an Huawei Watch 2 for the longest time and with the holidays coming up I'm able to snatch a new huawei classic 2 for 180. Is this still a good buy ? Should I wait for the next smartwatch ? Opinions welcome !
I got mine for about the same price a year ago around black Friday so that's really not a deal considering it's a year later. I'd wait and opt for a snapdragon 3100 watch at this point. I like my classic but just can't see getting a new one right now
I think only Mont blanc has a 3100 chip one out now but it's a thousand dollars. I'd wait for Google, they helped develop that chip. But it's going to be not as cheap as Huawei, just like pixel phone etc. It might be months away too.
Could get a cheap Huawei on eBay, from someone selling stuff for a long time with 100% star rating. Look for a week or two and you'll get if you pounce quick, for cheap. Then can sell it next year at cost or slight loss.
I have just got a new BT sport for 99.99£ from ebay resellers so surely watch for cheaper ones and you will find!

And how come the new gt is good? Wont even display ur WhatsApp or messenger or any other 3rd party app... I would say the Huawei watch 2 is far better option than this
He said "bt sport", not gt.
BT = Bluetooth Sport Huawei watch 2,
not the LTE 4G sport model.

Huawei GT is only a Tracker (with bad sleep tracking) and 0 smartwatch, do not mistake
