  • Receive notifications without checking phone, The camera being very accessible, Incredibly comfortable on my wrist
  • Lack of apps due to Samsung keeping close tabs on who they bring aboard, Battery life only lasting about a day and a half, A little pricey for what you get now, but once Samsung unlocks their store to open development, the watch is worth every penny

  • The Galaxy Gear isn't just a watch, it's a smartwatch. And it's not just a smartwatch, it's an extension of your phone.  This is the FIRST device of its kind that offers the features that it has. While there is the Pebble Smartwatch and one from Sony, non...

  • If you want a watch that blends with the existing urban lifestyle, with that subtle benefit of notifying you any incoming events from your phone, then Sony SmartWatch 2 gives you a good experience at a lower price.If you want a watch that is really sm...

  • How useful is a smartwatch like the Samsung Galaxy Gear? If you always have your smartphone with you all the time, then a smartwatch is definitely redundant, and in some cases, annoying. But if you leave your smartphone in your bag or frequently out-of-si...

  • Great build, attractive looking, color options, beautiful screen, good touch interaction, customizable watch faces, subtle notifications, can make/answer calls and texts, integrates very well with phone, unlimited possibilities through updates, comfortabl
  • Only compatible with some Samsung Galaxy phones. Battery life is 12 days. Charging requires charging case and no headphone port
  • Galaxy Gear is great, it just depends on your expectations. It's infinitely better than Pebble, I'm Watch, and the iPod Nano Watch. Other than a short battery life, the only real criticism should be the compatibility. As an iPhone user, I'm begging Ap...

  • stylish, light, powerful, many excellent hardware features,
  • barely any apps, monochrome app design, limited ‘wake up’ gesture, not water resistant
  • My thoughts on this device after using it for nearly a month? The potential is awesome but largely unrealized. Samsung simply hasn’t included enough apps or put enough design into the current apps to ‘wow’ me. It’s AMOLED screen is wasted on a nearly m...

  • Taking all of its features into consideration, the unfortunate end result for the Galaxy Gear is a device that looks much nicer than it performs, yet still demands a premium price as if it had no flaws. Looking beyond simple issues like the number of apps...

  • Abstract:  The Galaxy Gear smartwatch is a device that even Samsung admitted lacks that special something. In the Korean company's haste to bring the Gear to market, it forgot one hugely important consideration: user experience. It's there in occasional spurts, sure...

  • Should you buy the Galaxy Gear? If you are the owner of a Galaxy Note 3, or a device that is soon to be supported thanks to updates to their firmware, then it's an interesting decision. Sure, the device looks cool and offers a few neat functions, but none...
