I sold my LG G Watch R after buying this past weekend. I like that the band that comes with the watch actually fits a big guy. There are plenty of us in this country, sad as that is. I started to wait for the classic and maybe the Verizon version, but like the way this watch looks vs the classic and did not want to sacrifice battery life with cell connectivity. I am using with a Note 4. I have had no issues at this early date (3 days), battery life is about the same as my LG. One of the selling points that pushed this watch over the edge and the LG out the door ($150 on CL) was the bright sun ability to actually see contents of screen. This is a huge plus considering the LG (highest brightness) sucked in this regard. All features work so far until the first firmware upgrade I'm sure. The remote connection actually works as I have tested it numerous times this past weekend between sports games. My wife, who doesn't wear a watch of any kind, actually is thinking of getting one (white). Another plus which I did not catch in the pre-release reviews is the water rating which as I understand it can be submerged for up to 30 min up to 5' of water or so. Pretty nice!
I find it hard to believe but everything seems to be working so far. I do wish my Note 4 and Verizon supported Samsung Pay but oh well. The watch is very intuitive.
Like some reviewers, I could not believe that BB was not selling warranty. SquareTrade to the rescue which I use for most of my phones. $34.99 for two years including accidents, $39 deductible. This was for wearable's up to $299. I have never had a problem with SQ on claims. They are a very good company.
Bottom line, I think Samsung has hit a HR with this watch. I will update if any issues arise.
My Best Buy number: 2789410858
I would recommend this to a friend!

How close does your phone need to be?
Can I walk around the house with my watch on and not carry my phone, yet still get the notifications and calls?
If you have wifi in your home, yes. Anywhere there is a wifi signal, you will get notifications. Remote connection works very well also.

why is there no geek squad protection for this iteam
Good question but SquareTrade to the rescue. I purchased their 2 year protection plan with accidents for $35, then $39 deductible per incident. I have used SQ for years with several claims on phones, not one issue so far. When you go to their website, click on all plans then smart watches.
Hope this helped.
