Smart Watch Experience

[Troncoso]

Anyone have any personal experience with smart watches? Particularly the Samsung Gear S? The Gear S2 is being officially revealed today and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it, but some feedback would be cool.

And I'm looking for actual experience, not a bunch of people saying "I don't see the point of them". For some like me who is outside and exercises a whole lot, I see huge benefits of having one of these on my wrist vs carrying around my Note 4. Especially considering this particular watch can have it's own SIM card, so it can be used independently of my phone. (It's only $10 extra a month for this functionality, since it shares the data plan your phone has).

@Geoff owns a smartwatch. I don't know which one though.

I have an LG G Watch R, and I prefer Android Wear over Tizen. It's great for notifications, whenever my phone beeps or vibrates no matter where I am at home, in the car, or in my office, I just glance at my watch to see what it is. I can dismiss notifications, read, delete, or reply to emails and texts, etc. I love it.
