Can someone post a vid or pics that show the differences in the devices? I'm looking for thickness comparisons and width.
Thanks in advance

Why does everyone assume no one knows how to use google?
I've searched I've seen very short side by side comparisons .but nothing that shows how much each watch stands off the wrist.
Would it be better to post this in a Gear or Gear 2 area on the board as this is a Gear S section? I know many are upgrading but again this is a Gear S section.

So many unhelpful people in a "community forum".
This question is in regards to going towards the gear s. So yeah more people are likely to have a gear s in the gear s forum them the gear 2 forum don't you think?
I'm sure there are a few like me who have moved through with each device that has come out so I'm sure someone here has all 3 galaxy gear, gear 2, and gear s.
Yeah I could wait till this weekend when bestbuy has them or go to the store but why not ask a community forum of gadget freaks like xda.
Thanks for your helpful comments.
ah that my fault. I though it said gear vs gear 2. I now see that its gear s vs gear 2. Over all those they are just about the same. One has 3g and curved screen. One has a camera. OS and apps are the same on both. Main question is do you want 3g or not. Even if your not looking at the 3g part, do you want larger curved screen or not. Not really to much of a diff from them. Being that you have already had the other watches, what is making you want to upgrade to this one? If 3g and curved nice screen is the reason then I see no reason why not to upgrade.

Ohh ha ha, yeah I like the bigger screen just not how high the gear 2 sits off my wrist. I saw that the screen size is about as big as the face of the gear 2 with the metal casing which is cool. Just curious about the stance really.

But you assume someone is going to make you a video to answer your question?
Lol you assume so much, I'm not expecting anyone to really go out of their way to make a video just for me, I'm sure there are others with the same question. So your saying it's not ok to ask questions on a forum ?
I have both. I'll post pics of the devices next to each other once I'm home, but I'm not doing video. Sorry. Hope that will help some.

Lol. I asked, and I'm okay if there is no response (neg responses like your's clogg up forums) and I also asked for just a pic, not just a video. Either or would be helpful but not expected.
You assume I'm demanding but no where in my request did I demand someone make a video lol.
Most people here on xda are helpful unlike your response. I guess that the luck of the draw.:good:

No videos you do you own research with that. You say you just bought gear 2 if your on the fence take it back go try a store model on your wrist any store that carries them then decide from there. We don't know about you or your wrist so who are we to judge how it rest on your wrist. If all else fails take Gear 2 back buy gear S if you don't like run back to get Gear 2. or hell buy them both test out.

You obviously didn't read. So let me explain yet again. Yes I could just take a fuller and measure out what I'm looking for but that's not going to help out much.
All I want to see is the thickness of the watch versus the gear 2.
Now why all this wasted effort on complaining when you could just move on clearly shows you all have nothing better to do then spend time on a forum flamming people.
Go to redit or 4chan for that and leave this community of mostly helpful people be.
Thanks.

How bout you stop asking for handouts and do the research yourself. We can't tell you which watch is right for you or your wrist. YOU ASKED OUR HELP we did not make this thread YOU DID remember that. Maybe you should go to another forum.

I don't think I asked for help in the decision, if that's what you took from my op then sorry.
A side by side comparison that shows the thickness not just the top would be nice.

==================================================================================
Based on this question you are asking to compare so you can make an informed decision on the watch you want. why else would you post in a forum asking for a picture or video of the differences. So yes the things that you gather from this fourm videos pictures ect will help YOU in make YOUR DECISION to keep the Gear 2 (30 day return policy) or Buy the Gear S when BB has it available.
=========================================================================
With that said I hope the pictures/videos/articles will help you decide to get whatever you like. in the End Samsung did all the PR work

I got mine from the shack. As far as I know, the store that I work at is still doing the discount on accessories, which is available only if you buy it from the shack. Also, we have a $4/month insurance plan that covers wear and tear, manufacturer defects, and batt. replacement, and a $7/month plan that covers all that plus accidental damage with a $100 deductible. You can also save some money by paying a larger sum up front. I don't have the pricing for those plans right in front of me. I'll try to post them tomorrow. Keep in mind though, that the plans do NOT cover loss or theft.

Really? Would it kill anyone to go up to 4 pages in and read topics?
After all, we go through a large number of pages in each post. Why cant we do it on the main thread?
I'm not the only one complaining about the large number of useless threads on this forum. Why cant we be a little more efficient? This is not an XDA thing, this is a simple teaching point of using the internet to FIND information.

Thanks for all the responses. The search feature hasn't been working on my app for a while. Not sure why.

Pretty sure the above post was a joke, since he posted a link to the Lancer Evolution.
I do believe he's pointing out that the name of the phone isn't Evolution, but rather Evo. I know that Evo is generally a shorter term used for Evolution, but this is a name, not a term.

Thanks given. I was just about to lol
Here's some facts:
- As of October, there were just 3.4MM HC tablets that accessed the Google market. To me, non-market tablets like the KF and NookC don't count as "Android tablets." That's what Apple sells in a day.
- In the U.S., high-end ($399+) Android tablets make up 15% of total non-Apple tablet sales and 1/3 of those have 3/4G and are sold through carriers.
- Pre-KF, Samsung had 16% of the U.S. market, Asus 10%, and Acer 9%.
- Manufacturers quote sales in "shipped units." Half the shipped units can be sitting on shelves or stacked up in reseller warehouses.
- Analysts are projecting that Android tablets (including the KF) will double in 2012 (6.4MM) which is still a fraction of what Apple's doing.
- People don't equate non-Apple tablets to the iPad and don't see their value at $399+. Only price has made a difference in volume sold (HP TP, BB PlayBook, KF, NookC).
Performance isn't what has kept the average customer from buying Android - no one's complained they're too slow. The issues are: complexity (compared to iOS), lack of applications, and poor marketing. Unifying all Android devices on ICS will make a big difference in the app area. When apps are more polished, available in larger quantities, and more consistent the average consumer will warm to Android. Same with the UI. But it'll take a year for the majority of devices to be on ICS. Part of Apple's success and profitibility in the tablet market comes not just from the sale of iPads but what they make selling apps, music, videos, etc. That's the content strategy that Amazon's following with the KF. Analysts feel that stand-alone tablet makers are going to be pressured and some will leave the market because, without content to subsidize profits, there's not enough money in making tablets alone. So there you have it...
P.S. - None of this applies to XDA'ers because we are no where near the average consumer in the way we view electronics.

I hate to say this, but I love my Blackberry 9930. It has a touch screen and a static keyboard which I hope will never go away. I type twice as fast with on my Blackberry then any other virtual style keyboard. The Blackberry is really good at messaging, enterprise stuff and text/smsing. It is NOT designed for games and stuff like that, which a lot of people want so they just say they don't like it. I REALLY do like the static physical keyboard then the virtual ones. Sorry.

I type twice as fast with on my Blackberry then any other virtual style keyboard. The Blackberry is really good at messaging, enterprise stuff and text/smsing. It is NOT designed for games and stuff like that, which a lot of people want so they just say they don't like it. I REALLY do like the static physical keyboard then the virtual ones. Sorry.

There's a lot of Android phones with physical keyboards as well, limited high end devices, but the Droid 4 comes out tomorrow.
Ahh, where to begin? I know! Does everyone remember all the many posts re: GPS, where one after another popped in to tell us how little GPS meant to them? I do. Including several heated arguments about the value of GPS on a tablet. Everyone must remember the classic "I don't need GPS on a tablet, I have my PHONE for that! " All the way to blasting people for being upset with Asus for a fairly major screw-up. That was the argument: Who needs GPS on a tablet? Like we who made a huge fuss were being "fussy"
Here's where us "Fussy GPS lovers " get a huge laugh, as all of a sudden, the majority of posts are "Bring it, Asus! " and "Can't WAIT TO TRY THIS! "
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I even remember Demandarin saying a few times "GPS is a dead issue, get over it." (which always got me steamed)
But now... everyone wants their dongle. Granted, there are still plenty who could give a rats ass about any of this. I am just having my moment of childish glee, and if you think thats immature, then all I have to say is:
Neah neah ne neah neah!!!
Oh, almost forgot - Where the hell is my GPS Kit? Wait, let me guess... They ran out (since all Asus needs to do is make enough to cover shipped units, and we all know Asus can't count) and now they are on backorder.

GPS is a not-issue for me. I'll continue to use my phone because my car is setup with a phone holder and everything.
I will tell you I'll take ANYTHING (within reason of course) for FREE! That is why I say Give Me, Give Me, Give Me. If Asus sold the GPS kit I would not buy it.
I'm just curious how a GPS dongle is supposed to fix all the other problems with the Prime? I think this is more of a gimmick than anything else. I believe Asus is trying to pull a fast one on us. Don't be fooled!!!

Let me add an analogy : It's as if we all bought brand new top of the line BMW's and come to find out they all have an oil leak, transmission leak, and a broken cigarette lighter. So when we took it to the shop to have it fixed, BMW gave us all a brand new add on cigarette lighter "for free!!!" to "fix" the broken one. And now you are all happy, even made a thread about it.
I love my prime, it's arguably the best tablet on the market. GPS is not the focal point of this product its so much more than a navigation tool. But Asus really should fix the wifi and reboots.
I didn't mean this post as disrespect to the OP.
WOW!!! So you are saying that I can now have TWO....TWO....dongles to play with while watching porn on my Prime.....
Awesome! Now my right hand wont be jealous of my left any more....
Life is good....get over it....lol....

your analogy is flawed, the GPS dongle makes the prime not a prime, as it adds extra bulk to it.... your BMW gets everything FIXED, while keeping the initial structure, the prime doesnt. it needs a add-on dongle.

Wait why do you need GPS while watching....TV?
To be an accurate analogy BMW would take a large spoiler and add it too the front of the car, fill it with butane, make it detachable, make people stop driving to attach and remove it, and make it cover the headlights so you can't use both the lighter and headlights at the same time.

LOL!!!! So funny that you used BMW as an example. They are horrible.....horrible...when it comes to a recall.
I have owned 9 BMW's (5 of them ///M cars....4 M3's and an Mcoupe) and have club raced with the national BMW CCA, so I am very familiar with their Customer Service....lol.
My 2001 M3 took 3 years for BMW to recall and fix the main bearings......thats a big deal.
My 1995 M3 had the rear shocks push thru the sheet metal in the trunk due to a weak design. Never acknowledged by bmw.
My 2000 M coupe has a reputation for the spot welds in the trunk to start tearing.....never acknowledged.....also a BIG deal.
My 2002 bmw 325 has a problem with the subframe mounts tearing in the rear, and front shock towers showing stress cracks.....never recalled....lol
I could go on.....
That is why the Mcoupe is getting a rest this race season, and the Lotus Exige S is getting the crap run out of it....
BMW makes Asus look like mother Teresa.
I know, I know, it was just an example, but I just found it kinda funny.
Sorry......go on with the bora-phyll

Even though I'm on the "GPS is unnecessary side", this post was hilarious.
Meh gps. There are more pressing software issues with the prime that need to be fixed asap.
The dongle is great and even though i dont use GPS i'd get the dongle if its free. Its just nice to have the option.
Anyways i'm good. Prime was the best purchase i made in a long time and me and my wife are having great fun with it Basically planned our whole weeding on it Its just so much more convenient sitting on a couch and handle stuff instead of being bound to a laptop/pc on a table with mouse and everthing.

LOL!!!! Yeah me too! If you meant "wedding" and not "weeding".....lol.
The only time I get interested in planning the wedding is when we use the Prime together. Now if we could figure a way to use the GPS during our planning , it would be a win win....
So long to the single life my friend.....i have 40 more days till its over....
Why can't we all just be happy that the issues are ironed out with or without the dongle just be happy you have a tablet thrs people out thr that would kill for a prime...with or without gps

You know - you're aren't forced to read threads... and you'd think with a title like one this thread has - you probably should have heard loud warning bells...
Yet you read it anyway.
*Just to complain*.. just like the guy who posted the original post in it.
In other words, you're actually making his post jump to the top - making more people read it - and actually doing what you're complaining about.
Have you considered getting councilling for this clearly self-destructive psychological problem?
EDIT: I suspect most people here don't think XDA is ruined at all or in any way by one thread or even one subject. Drama Llama much?
I'm closing this thread not because I agree or disagree with you, but because the last thing this section needs is another flame fest / spam thread. Your opinion has been stated. In the future, try posting it in one of the other dozen or so GPS threads in this section.
That is all.

Why do you wish for replies so badly? Did you consider that people would rather say nothing than be impolite?
But if you want HONEST opinions. Fine, i shall be honest.
I am not interested in using these Wallpapers.
The choice of backgrounds is unfortunate at best and uncreative at worst.
The changes you made are poorly done and its quite easy to spot your additions to these pictures.
The font you chose looks childish and cartoo-like, not befitting a professional premium device like the Note II and the coloring of the letters was obviously made to resemble metal, but they do not. They appear more like glossy plastic, something the least of us actually enjoy and most of us despise.
When you mirror the pen in one of the wallpapers you made it look blurry. Mirrored images can indeed appear that way, but you didn't do the shading very well and it looks more like it was drawn on the background because you didn't line up the tips of the pens correctly and failed to fade the mirror-image properly.
I am not trying to be mean, just being honest.
And please don't doublepost.

I gave you honesty, that's more than you can actually expect online.
Creativity is fine, but the quality has to match or the product is simply no good. Besides it was constructive criticism, because i told you EXACTLY what you need to improve on and actually took my time to analyze these pictures and therefore probably looked at them far longer than anyone ever before.
I know it must have sounded harsh to you and it was, but you cant expect your first work to be loved by everyone, keep trying and you will get there.
While i understand that your pride must be hurt right now, insulting me won't get you anywhere.

Begging for thanks is not a good thing here, you are lucky this thread has not been shut down. Do things because you love them, not because you want praise. To live by the idea other people have of you or your work will only hinder your ability to be yourself.
I think you did a good job here. Its not for me as I prefer abstract but I appreciate the effort.

Why should I (we) thank you for something I (we) didn't ask, didn't want, and do not appreciate? If someone likes it and uses it, he should thank you. If I browse the forums, see this thread and do not like what I see in it, why on Earth should I thank you? I just close the tab and hope you'll find some audience.
Let me preface my comments by saying I have REALLY been looking forward to this watch and am very disappointed that I have now decided I do not want it. Here are my reasons:
1) It's HUGE. I'm a big guy, 6'5", 250 and this watch is HUGE.
2) The geek factor is 11. It's like wearing a calculator strapped to your wrist.
3) This would look HORRIBLE with a suit as a businessman.
4) The only benefit of the phone capability would be for when I don't have my smartphone with me - but I ALWAYS have my smartphone with me for many reasons. Why try to tap out a text or email on a tiny screen when I can just pull out my cell phone and do it better?
5) It's too big to use as a fitness watch.
6) The interface seemed laggy to me with a slitter jitter when swiping screens.
7) It looks cheap compared to the Moto 360.
After seeing this I really believe the future of smart watches will remain as a companion device to a phone and not a complete standalone solution. Notifications, Google Now, Navigation, Spoken Texts. That's what it is good for.
Just my opinion, YMMV.
** UPDATE: Went back to Sprint and totally changed my mind. Yes all of the above is still true but I just couldn't resist the sheer gadgety joy of it. So I'm onboard! << THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE - SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED MY INITIAL INSTINCTS.
** UPDATE: Well, I gave it a try but this watch just isn't ready. The culprits are navigation and S-Voice. Navigation won't do turn by turn driving (only walking) and S-Voice is pretty damned close to useless. Compared to Google Now it is very laggy and can answer only the most basic of questions without redirecting you to the phone. It really is hard to believe Samsung has had S-Voice for years now and this is the best they can do.
All of the benefits of having a "stand-alone" device which can make calls and GPS are negated by the fact navigation and S-Voice require me to always have my phone with me anyway.
Will give it a few more days but right now, not happy.
** THE LAST STRAW:
WARNING TO POTENTIAL GEAR S BUYERS!!!
This is NOT a standalone device and that's not because you need to pair it with a Samsung phone to add apps. There is one and only one reason the Gear S as a standalone device is a complete and utter fail:
THE BATTERY LIFE IS HORRIBLE: As a test using this standalone and leaving my phone at home, I went to the gym this morning with a 50% charge. I used Navigation to get to the gym (about a 5 minute ride). Although it only offers "walking" directions, this basically worked for driving. However, there are no voice prompts and the vibration when a turn is coming up is very weak. At the gym I used it to play stored music to my bluetooth headphones.
That's all I did. No phone calls, no texting, nothing.
THE WATCH WAS DEAD HALFWAY THROUGH MY WORKOUT! So just using GPS and playing music, I burned through 50% battery charge in less than an hour! I can't imagine how long it would have lasted were I on the phone! Being generous, that is maybe 2 hours use on a full charge using the Gear S as a phone replacement. FAIL.
So you are paying a $150 premium over the Moto 360 for a "standalone" watch which cannot stand alone. Battery is terrible, navigation sucks, S-Voice is a joke. No, just no. This watch is going back today.
Felicia out.
P.S., One more thing. Email notifications are buggy as hell. I got 10 new emails this morning and only 1 showed up in my Gear S notifications.
Everything you stated except for one just dealt with how it looks.
But thanks for your opinion.

Why try to tap out a text or email on a tiny screen when I can just pull out my cell phone and do it better? - I bought it off-contract since I always have my phone. Sometimes sending a short text can be easier than taking out your phone thats in your pocket, backpack, or in the other room.
5) It's too big to use as a fitness watch. - Completely disagree, I am at the gym often and today it was in no way, in the way.
6) The interface seemed laggy to me with a slitter jitter when swiping screens. - I noticed this too when starting up, and on the display model, but the consumer model seems to be more fluid
7) It looks cheap compared to the Moto 360. - I actually thought the Moto 360 looked awful, I saw it in-store today and it looked incredibly plain

2) It's way classier than a calculator, and the geek factor is also why I love it.
3) disagree. It looked nice on the Samsung lady I spoke with, and the presenters on stage were wearing suits and it did not seem out of place.
4) Agree with @ksantangelo23
5) Agree with @ksantangelo23. Way better display of all info than a limited fitness tracker
6) No problems on mine
7) Moto360, Pebble, and all the Wears and that other platform's wearable (I'm too disgusted at it to even say its name) may or may not look nice, but this is a REAL PHONE + COMPUTING PLATFORM. This, IMHO, is the prime justification of the Gear S.

Let me preface my comments by saying I have REALLY been looking forward to this watch and am very disappointed that I have now decided I do not want it. Here are my reasons:
1) It's HUGE. I'm a big guy, 6'5", 250 and this watch is HUGE.
2) The geek factor is 11. It's like wearing a calculator strapped to your wrist.
3) This would look HORRIBLE with a suit as a businessman.
4) The only benefit of the phone capability would be for when I don't have my smartphone with me - but I ALWAYS have my smartphone with me for many reasons. Why try to tap out a text or email on a tiny screen when I can just pull out my cell phone and do it better?
5) It's too big to use as a fitness watch.
6) The interface seemed laggy to me with a slitter jitter when swiping screens.
7) It looks cheap compared to the Moto 360.
After seeing this I really believe the future of smart watches will remain as a companion device to a phone and not a complete standalone solution. Notifications, Google Now, Navigation, Spoken Texts. That's what it is good for.
Just my opinion, YMMV.

Posts like this tend to draw some ire from those who love the watch. I am not trying to say there is anything wrong with your opinion. These things are purely subjective. I only posted this because I wanted so badly to love the watch and didn't.
That being said, I also hated the Surface Pro 3 when I first saw it in the store and I now own one and love it. Sometimes when I have anticipated something so long reality always disappoints a bit. I'll go back and give it another look. Perhaps it will grow on me.

o one is forcing you to buy it if you don't like it to each it's own. There are plenty of smartwatches. I'm sure you opinion matters to someone hell you probably discouraged someone to not buy it :good: job.

I see your points. The only real plus is to not to have to pull out your phone or have it on.

Lol, if you want to survive long in forums, you are going to have to learn that not everyone agrees with you without throwing a fit.
Back to the facts. The watch IS huge. It IS nerdy. It will look a bit GOOFY with a suit. Now if none of those things bother you, this may be the watch for you. I'm willing to give it a second look today to see if i like it any better. I'm most concerned about the S-Voice functionality.

:good::highfive: Welcome aboard
I have to disagree. Its WAY WAY smaller than I thought. Barely bigger than the gear I use everyday. Its gorgeous in my eyes. The moto 360 (the best looking android wear)...and the rest of the android wears...not so much.
I wasn't able to actually play with the gear S (the demo unit wasn't charged) but I want it.
ATT does it for $299 no contract required.
I am 6'2" 350lb. The size of the watch is no bigger than the larger faced watches I used to wear. Since I normally wear cargo shorts, I don't feel the vibration from a message, which is why I want a smart watch. The original gear looked small on my wrist
I am looking forward to other bands. I like the wide strap look of the bangle but it is shorter length. For it to fit how I like, I need about two more holes (or lose weight )
