The Uber for Gear app allows users to locate, request and confirm cabs conveniently right from the smartwatch.
The award-winning G’Night sleep tracking app makes use of available sensors to analyse users’ sleep cycles to help users wake up in an active and fresh state.
A comprehensive notes and checklist application has been introduced for the Gear S2 called ‘My Notes in Gear’. With tools that allow attaching pictures, colour coding and even reminder alarms based on time and location.
YouTube browsing app, Xenozu allows users to browse, search and view videos on the Gear S2. This is in addition to pre-existing apps for Twitter and Instagram as well as full keypad based support for popular Messengers like WhatsApp, Facebook etc.
Users also have a wider catalogue of dial faces to choose from now. From purely visual animated art of Peanuts to highly functional dial faces that can call out weather, moon phases, health goals, reminders and notifications.

There’s also a host of new games that use the rotating bezel of the Gear S2 as a game controller. To name a few, games from popular genres like the puzzle based Hextris, classic car racing Vroom Rider, brain teaser themed Hangman, as well as wildly popular Play store games like Space Wars and Snake, are now available on the Gear S2 to be played with the bezel control.
