I moved from a Pebble Time to a Gear S2 and my experience has been overall pretty positive. A few things I've noticed:

- battery life is very good compared to apple/android. I can usually get 2-3 full days of regular use with the ambient display on.

- It looks way more like a regular watch, most people don't notice unless you start using it. It also fits a lot better on my smaller wrist.

- The screen is amazing indoors, meh outdoors. Kind of the opposite of what I experienced with the pebble.

- Very limited app selection. I don't actually use any apps besides what it came with, and even then I think all I use is just the calendar and weather. I mostly have it for the notifications, which work extremely well, so I don't really care about that. Might be a bigger deal for you.

Thanks, that is really good information. I originally had a basic Fitbit (work was giving them out), got addicted to the fitness / sleep tracking, but wanted to upgrade to something that showed time and give notifications (I frequently miss text messages because I don't hear or feel the phone in my pocket all the time) -- so I got the Pebble. The apps I don't use that much, although there is one Weather-related watch face on the Pebble that I don't think I could live without. It shows a graph of the temperature and chance of rain for the next several hours, and has a mini calendar on it with color dots next to each day representing sunny, cloudy, rain or snow. Makes it real easy to tell at a glance what is coming up weather-wise.
