  • The Galaxy Gear has great potential, The big bright screen of the Note 3 is a pleasure to use, The Stylus makes interaction simple, The back button, not on an iPhone but so useful!
  • The Android keyboard was difficult to use with a poor autocorrect, The size, too big for me but ideal for others, Toughness, Lack of dual speakers on the front, Video pause eye tracking was too intruding
  • I did investigate how to install iOS on the Samsung. Unfortunately, there's no way to do that which is a shame. I could imagine a Samsung with the ability to dual / triple boot and run iOS would be pretty cool. You will be able to dual-boot Android with U...

  • Eye-catching, premium styling, fits comfortably on your wrist, distinguishing feature in the onboard camera, and you can answer/make calls via the Gear
  • Very sparsely populated app selection within Samsung Apps, weak device support, a lack of a real killer feature, and its high RRP
