FIGURE 1-3: Samsung has seven replacement bands to choose from.
The Gear S2 model you have determines the watch straps you can purchase. If you have a Gear S2 Classic, you can choose only a brown or gray leather band. The other bands are for the plain old Gear S2. Granted, Samsung has pretty slim pickings when it comes to bands, but plenty of other bands are available. Just type Samsung watch bands into your favorite search engine and enjoy visiting online stores just waiting to sell you watch straps.
Discovering What’s in the Box (Hint: It’s Not Jack)
If you’re reading this book, chances are that you’ve received (or picked up) your Gear S2 already and you’ve probably opened up the box with the excitement you remember as a kid opening up a gift for yourself. But if you’re reading this book wondering what you’ll get in the box, or if you’re waiting for my permission to open the box, keep reading! Here’s what you find inside:
❯❯ The watch itself, with the wrist strap attached.
❯❯ A small bag that contains a smaller wrist strap in case the default wrist strap is too big. I tell you about swapping out the wrist strap in Chapter 2.
❯❯ The charger that sits nicely on a desk or other flat surface. You learn about how to place the Gear S2 on the charger in Chapter 2.
❯❯ The travel adapter, which is a black plug that you insert into a wall outlet or, preferably, a surge protector outlet.
❯❯ A three-foot cable that connects your charger to the travel adapter. One end of the cable is a USB connector, which means that you can connect your charger to a computer and swap files. You find out more about that cool trick in Chapter 4.
❯❯ Teeny, tiny printed books and brochures that provide some important information and a quick reference guide to the watch and with luck, you can read the tiny print.

Chapter 2
Taking the Time to Set Up Gear S2
IN THIS CHAPTER
Learning about the hardware features of the Gear S2
Charging the Gear S2
Starting up the Gear S2 and performing the initial setup
Putting the Gear S2 on your wrist and changing wrist straps
Turning off the Gear S2
Okay, you’ve taken everything out of the Gear S2 box. It’s time to turn on the watch and start playing, right? Uh, no.
The Gear S2 battery isn’t fully charged when you take it out of the box because the battery was tested before it was placed in the box. So the first thing you should do is check the watch and make sure that the device looks good. Remove the plastic adhesive coverings and look for scratches or any other outer signs of wear and tear that your brand-new device shouldn’t have.
In this chapter, I start by reviewing the hardware features of the Gear S2. Next, you learn how to charge the Gear S2 to get the battery life up to 100 percent. Then you find out how to start up the Gear S2 and set up your smartwatch for the first time. Finally, I show you how to put the Gear S2 on your wrist and adjust it for optimum comfort. In case you don’t like the large band, I show you how to swap out the large band for the smaller one that comes in the box.
Inspecting the Gear S2 Hardware
With the plastic adhesive coverings taken off the watch, hold the smartwatch with the screen toward you. The smartwatch itself is called the case. You know that the watch is right side up when the smaller wrist strap (the one with the buckle) is above the smartwatch case and the larger strap (that’s the strap with the adjustment holes) is below the case.
I start off with Figure 2-1, which shows the black Gear S2 Classic that I own. This model sports the serrated bezel that borders the watch face. (If you have the standard Gear S2, the bezel is smooth.) Confirm that the bezel moves as it should by placing your index finger and thumb on either side of the bezel and then moving the bezel left and right. If the bezel doesn’t move in one or both directions, it’s time to call Samsung.
FIGURE 2-1: The bezel appears around the watch face with the smaller strap on top and the larger strap on the bottom.
Now turn the case so that you see the right side of the watch that you see in Figure 2-2. You see two buttons. The button on the top is the Back button: When you press it, you go back to the previous screen.
FIGURE 2-2: The Back button is on the top and the Power/Home button is on the bottom.
The bottom button is the one you press to turn the power on as well as to return to the Home screen, which is the screen that shows you the clock with the current time.
When you turn on the watch, the back of the watch warms up because you own an electronic gadget. The back of the watch contains a pair of sensors that light up on the back of the watch when you have an app that wants to count your heart rate.
For example, if you have the Heart Wave watch face, you can tell this face to take your pulse. As the Gear S2 takes your pulse, the two heart rate sensor lights light up on the back of the watch. Figure 2-3 shows you what these two little СКАЧАТЬ
