How to Change the Bands the Easy Way
Some people get confused when it comes to changing their Samsung Gear S2 bands. The easiest way to do it is to turn the watch upside down. You'll see a little lock next to the watch, attached to the band. To pull the bolt away from it, it's necessary to use your thumbnail. Pull the strap up while keeping it steady. It should be snug and secure. That's all it takes to
quickly swap bands on your Samsung Gear S2. With the old strap out, you can now focus on sliding its more stylish replacement.
How to Put Your Gear S2 in Power Saving Mode
It's surprising that some people still don't know that they can prolong their smartwatch's battery life by entering power saving mode. The easiest way to do this is to hold down the lower down "home" button on the device's right-hand edge. It allows you to see the simple, two-item menu which lets you choose between "power off" and "power saving." In power saving mode, you'll have a greyscale home screen instead of your usual watch face. It disables the device's WiFi capabilities as well as other functionalities except calling, texting, and alerts. It limits the Gear S2's performance but it lets the watch last an entire day, which is useful especially if you forgot to charge it and you have no charging docks in your location.
