This all depends on what you want your watch to do. There are alot of apps but most are not formatted for our Gear S they are more of gear 2 apps that many/many not work for our phone. Apps will increase soon.

There are a TON of trolls out for the Gear S so thicken up that skin. In the meantime, here's a great video that is relevant to your question:
http://youtu.be/vebsY_puqmY
You're in good hands. Ignore the haters.
BTW, is there any tunein app support Gear S?
many thanks.
I found these useful
There is a lot of space on the Gear S and if you are not planning to add loads of music and photo's you can pretty much download all the free apps and try them out. But what I have installed and find useful are the following:
OPERA MINI Web Browser - ESSENTIAL!
GEAR NAVIGATOR - Very impressive navigation app with a gorgeous interface. Unlike the free HERE app, this can be used for driving. It also has street view, so ideal for walking directions too. It's a paid app but quite cheap
MY NOTES - really good for checklists and notes, synchronised with a nice looking companion app on the phone
SUPATIMER - Get 6 separate timers running on a cool interface
TIMER - Just one convenient timer if you don't like SUPATIMER
TRAVEL TRANSLATOR - Impressive voice recognition translator with loads of different languages
WEARABLE WIDGETS - Show any widget from your phone onto the Gear (Ignore any information that says you have to use the Wearable Widget Clock - the Widget Screen version does work)
COMPASS - Very cool and accurate compass
APPYGEEK - All latest tech news displayed perfectly on the small screen
VOICE MEMO - Very cool voice recorder and speech to text function
GEAR TASKS - Syncs with various different task accounts
FIND MY CAR - Haven't tested it completely yet but seems to save your parking position at least.
CALENDAR PRO - A paid app but definitely the best calndar app for the Gear
DOG WHISTLES - Just for fun this one, but drive people around you (and dogs of course) insane with this.
As for watch faces, I wouldn't bother with most of them as they just looked lost on the big 2" screen. But I did buy BIG CLOCK LAUNCHER which is cool for a big digital clock with a lot of customisation, with up to eight quick launch shortcuts.
I also downloaded DESK CLOCK, which I use as a more discreet clock and you can change the colours on that too.
Find these apps in the Samsung Gear Store, only accessible via Gear Manager.

Becareful thinking this, we thought the same thing with the galaxy gear and the gear 2/gear neo. ........... Still waiting for that amazing app. lol. The only app i think is really cool is the radar watch which will be the first app i get if its avail.
We also noted one thing and i hope this isn't the case with the gear s, in that. The amount of apps you had access was dependent on the "phone device aka Note 3, note 4, s3, s4" all had different apps or one had more then the other. So my note 3 gave me access to some apps i still can't see on my note 4. Including the killer update for flesky which was super cool on my note 3 and gear 2 but not avail for note 4 and gear 2? weird.

Probably the closest you'll come for now is the Google Drive app.
There are a couple of apps on the market.
Are you looking to sync your notes?
There's always evernote
I personally just pull up a google doc file or if it's for a to-do list I use: Tasks Free by Team Tasks
They have a nice widget you can put up.
I don't know that google is currently in the works for making a note app.
yeah you'd think they'd have something simple like the touchwiz "memo" app as stock :-\
I use "Note Everything" (pro) mainly cos I like the checklist thing for my shopping lists

Using Tasks Free (theres a paid version as well) you can sync it with the tasks list in google calendar, you can make multiple lists as well.
I agree, I like the memo pad from touchwiz, too bad it didn't sync up with anything
HTC comes with a notes app. Maybe you can find it here in an APK form.

The OP spelled the app as two words. I just searched for the app and found it, it's one word. I was only suggesting that maybe that's why you didn't find the app. Either way, it's not the end of the world; first world problems )
For what it's worth... I found the app by spelling the app's name as the OP spelled it (two words), but I also didn't search for it as one word.

There are already 2 other posts regarding apps for the GEAR S and they should all go in the THEMES & APPS section of this forum.

How to find new apps?
Hi,
Just wondering if there is an efficient way to search for new apps. I have 3 issues:
1. Interested in anything new just developed that may not have been available the last time I checked
2. Still searching for an app that allows me to control ppt slides on my laptop that are being projected.
3. After finding an app that I searched for, the app is being displayed with the header:"about 2 results" even though only 1 app is displayed. What is that about?
For issue 1 I have been going to the Gear Manager>Samsung Gear apps>Top>sort by new.
That shows me 300 apps. Is that really all there is? Using the category tab is not that useful, since you can't sort by date and many apps show up in pretty much all categories. I thought there were over 1000 apps available? So where are they?
For issue 2, I have tried PreGear, but it required download of additional programs and admin password, which I don't have for my work laptop. Someone suggested a YouTube video that promoted an app capped Air PPT for Samsung Gear S, but no matter how I searched for it, I can't find it in the Gear store and the video did not provide info on how to get it. Any other ideas as to this type of app? Is there another place to find apps for my Gear S besides the Gear manager?
Issue 3 is just plain irritating. If this is caused by something I am doing, would be good to know, because right now it feels like the gear store itself has no clue as to how many apps it has...
Hi everyone! I'm using Gear S in standalone mode, so i wasn't able to find Holo watch face :
Could anybody post a wgt for it?
Thanks!
U can find it on Galaxy Apps Gear Store, for FREE

No biggie, though battery life is good info. While I kind of wanted it myself, because it looks cool. Though, if it really hurts battery life, screw it. I rather keep my current clock and keep my 2 days of battery life without using the charger's battery to refresh it. If i used that, i could probably go 3-4 days without plugging it in.

What Clock do u use? I use Big Clock Launcher, and after 9h still got like 50% (reading notification, some replays, clock, sometims calls, timer/stopwatch). Last day I use default blue face on Gear S and watch died very fast - what is the point has good looking face if that make battery life shorter even if u have "small powerbank made for S"? The clock is only small piece of smartwatch - but for some people, this is imporat, they have a digital rolex on hand... There is also not much good apps, in Galaxy Apps u find many faces but not many good apps - but if u found it - pay 1€/2€.
Only normal Android like _NULL for first Gear smartwatch can be something more usefull like first Gear (secret recording, mxplayer, opera, quickpic and photospheres, etc) - when, we can unleash the beast, otherwise just just another good watch but limited because, nobody want make big improvments just small.
I'm using a digital clock with date and the step counter. It was on my Gear S when I got it. I originally wanted the one like it with weather, but the weather never updates in standalone mode. I can't stand how locked down Samsung made this thing. It's basically a smartphone on your wrist, but stupid Samsung had to make it tied to a damn Samsung smartphone. Good way to hinder sales and prompt many to just return the device.
it drains battery too much

Sorry I dont have any idea how to make it.

and firmware of Gear S watch: R750AUCU1OB1
Sorry to revive a year old post here. But mozillaopera do you still have the holo watchface on your smartwatch? If so, I am looking for it also and I can tell you how to post it up here.
Or hardman247 were you ever able to find a copy?
*It's an OWSC file (not a wgt), and it's stored on whatever phone was linked to your watch to install it (because you install watch faces from the gear app on your phone and then they get transfered to your watch).
Thanks for your replies!
Here's the youtube video link that shows this awesome watch face in action!

I have it! Found it some time ago on a russian forum...
But I warn you, it will suck your battery faster than a regular watchface. But yes, it's awesome
Aww, can't post links... well, just cut+paste:

frodone you are awesome! Thank you. Feels like I've been searching for this silly thing forever, and now I have it.
In case anyone else wants to install this:
Download the SDB kit
Put your gear s in usb debugging
Make sure your computer sees it "SDB Devices"
SDB Install the file frodone just uploaded, and it will appear in your watch face selector (long press watch face).
Thanks again frodone!
*Rename attached file with a .wgt extension (instead of .txt). XDA wouldn't let me upload a .wgt file for some reason. Not my file, but enjoy!
Hello. Still have someone beautiful watch face?
Are there any apps for Gear Fit 2?
There's not much but a few.

They will be there soon!!! And lots from my team, Infinity Watchfaces. The app submission section of Samsung is currently down because I think they are adding new device lists. As soon as it's back up, you should see watch faces start streaming in left and right. Check us out on Instagram... We will be posting many of our new faces for the Fit 2 that will be available soon.

Hey there! Just letting you know that Samsung has started to approve our watch faces. Digi-Glow, Space Dance, Burning Skull, and Fit Rocket have all hit - still waiting for Fit Trek and Cloud Fit to make it through. Also have many more about to be submitted!

Open the Gear Manager app, then click Samsung Galaxy Apps at the bottom. Once in Galaxy Apps there will be a "Gear" tab which has the watch face section in it. Make sure your Fit2 is connect via Bluetooth or you might not be able to access the correct section of Galaxy Apps. Let me know if you need further assistance and I'll be glad to help.

actually, when I do that, I can see the same list of 8 watchfaces which was always there before, not the new names you mentioned. Maybe related: I cannot find the spotify app either. I have the latest spotify on my cellphone and my fit 2 is connected. In another thread, someone pointed out this might be region related? FYI, I'm in Belgium...

Ah, yes - this could be a location thing. It takes time for the apps to trickle out to the different markets and they just hit in the US this morning. Another variable is the type of phone you are connecting the Gear Fit2 to. When submitting the binary files for the watch faces, we select compatible devices (aka: select all). This is what makes it show up in Galaxy Apps on that particular device. Right now it lists 62 devices - when the Gear S2 lists 126. What type of phone are you connecting to?

Shouldn't be a problem... Your phone meets the requirements. Hopefully just taking a bit to hit the app store. Let me know if you don't see anything within 24 hours and I'll put in a ticket with Samsung to find out the issue.

Can you make a simple one, just like the stock one, but featuring MM/DD? Seems like the only ones that have a MM/DD are super flashy.
Thanks!

I'll put in a ticket to see why they are not showing up in your location and when they might be available! Might not hear back until Monday depending on Korea and if anyone is working in dev support this weekend over there.
