This all depends on what you want your watch to do. There are alot of apps but most are not formatted for our Gear S they are more of gear 2 apps that many/many not work for our phone. Apps will increase soon.

There are a TON of trolls out for the Gear S so thicken up that skin. In the meantime, here's a great video that is relevant to your question:

I found these useful
There is a lot of space on the Gear S and if you are not planning to add loads of music and photo's you can pretty much download all the free apps and try them out. But what I have installed and find useful are the following:
OPERA MINI Web Browser - ESSENTIAL!
GEAR NAVIGATOR - Very impressive navigation app with a gorgeous interface. Unlike the free HERE app, this can be used for driving. It also has street view, so ideal for walking directions too. It's a paid app but quite cheap
MY NOTES - really good for checklists and notes, synchronised with a nice looking companion app on the phone
SUPATIMER - Get 6 separate timers running on a cool interface
TIMER - Just one convenient timer if you don't like SUPATIMER
TRAVEL TRANSLATOR - Impressive voice recognition translator with loads of different languages
WEARABLE WIDGETS - Show any widget from your phone onto the Gear (Ignore any information that says you have to use the Wearable Widget Clock - the Widget Screen version does work)
COMPASS - Very cool and accurate compass
APPYGEEK - All latest tech news displayed perfectly on the small screen
VOICE MEMO - Very cool voice recorder and speech to text function
GEAR TASKS - Syncs with various different task accounts
FIND MY CAR - Haven't tested it completely yet but seems to save your parking position at least.
CALENDAR PRO - A paid app but definitely the best calndar app for the Gear
DOG WHISTLES - Just for fun this one, but drive people around you (and dogs of course) insane with this.
As for watch faces, I wouldn't bother with most of them as they just looked lost on the big 2" screen. But I did buy BIG CLOCK LAUNCHER which is cool for a big digital clock with a lot of customisation, with up to eight quick launch shortcuts.
I also downloaded DESK CLOCK, which I use as a more discreet clock and you can change the colours on that too.
Find these apps in the Samsung Gear Store, only accessible via Gear Manager.

This is Tizen so all your apps will be in the Galaxy app store aka Samsung stuff only

I realize it is tizen... but I was not finding the apps mentioned in the galaxy app store.

Inside gear manager there is "samsung gear apps", this is the place where you will find all the apps for your new device. :>) :highfive:

Becareful thinking this, we thought the same thing with the galaxy gear and the gear 2/gear neo. ........... Still waiting for that amazing app. lol. The only app i think is really cool is the radar watch which will be the first app i get if its avail.
We also noted one thing and i hope this isn't the case with the gear s, in that. The amount of apps you had access was dependent on the "phone device aka Note 3, note 4, s3, s4" all had different apps or one had more then the other. So my note 3 gave me access to some apps i still can't see on my note 4. Including the killer update for flesky which was super cool on my note 3 and gear 2 but not avail for note 4 and gear 2? weird.

I have a Note 4 and Gear S the apps are about the same I have Flesky messenger on my gear S . Some of my gear 2 things are available for gear S but are not formatted for it. Gear S is still new and they had the "gear app challenge" so we should see more apps soon.
