The editors liked
Cool design
Swappable bands
Longer battery
Waterproof and feels and wellmade Battery will last a full weekend Screen is bright and sharp
The original Galaxy Gear smartwatch was by no means a looker
As it was rather bulky and unsightly - thankfully
Samsung has streamlined its successor
And it's a much slicker item of wrist wear that actually looks like a proper watch. Gone from the strap is the watch's camera - instead
It's been integrated into the top of the watch's upper edge
Meaning you can swap in different watch straps -

The editors didn't like
Still chunky
Likely expensive
Software can be fiddly to navigate Camera is low quality and feels unnecessary Accelerometer needs work Far too expensive
Unfortunately
While Samsung has steadily improved the overall smartwatch package
It still falls short on both being a watch
And frankly
Being smart. While its battery life has been improved
It still only lasts around three days
Meaning you'll have to charge it up at least twice a week - not ideal when you want to rely on your timepiece for
Well
The time. The switch to Tizen has meant that
Limited number of apps
Poor S-Health fitness app syncing
Can only be paired to Samsung phones
Camera is an unnecessary extra for the $100 it costs over the Gear 2 Neo
Disapointting snapper
Fiddly software
Pricey
Unreliable accelerometer
Locked to Samsung devices
Battery life isn't great
Gear 2 Neo undercuts price
Might be obsolete due to Android Wear devices
Sports features aren't executed as well as sports watches
Poor sleep tracking
Questionable camera skills
Hefty price tag
Only Samsung compatible
Expensive
Unnecessary features with poor applications
Pointless camera
So-so battery life
Bulky watch face
Lack of thirdparty apps
Minor software glitches
Limited to working with only Samsung Galaxy devices
Not many apps available yet
Needs a dock to charge
Accelerator doesn't always activate screen when you move

Abstract: I've been keen on smartwatches pretty much since day one. I get a lot of emails, texts, and assorted notifications, most of them garbage but some vitally important. Having a glancable screen on my wrist makes life infinitely easier. But smartwatches have ...
Abstract: Samsung upgraded its Galaxy Gear smartwatch with version 2.0 earlier this year that is available across the country priced at Rs 21,500. Much like the Gear, the Gear 2 sports a 1.6 inch Super AMOLED display that offers crisp colors and backed up by outdoo...
The Gear 2 has rectified the biggest problem with its predecessor and now looks and works more like a watch that has fallen out of a StarTrek flying machine that just went over us. It is the smartest of all smartwatches and can seamlessly integrate with y...
More comfortable, better design than the original Galaxy Gear
Expensive, locked to Samsung devices, poor fitness features, still not enough battery life
On its own, the Gear 2 is a good device to show off Samsung's varied capabilities in one device, though the end product feels like it's trying to do too much, and at a price which isn't easy to digest. The limitation to connect only to a Samsung smartphon...
The Samsung Gear 2 is available for a sum of Rs 21,550, which is about the same as the Galaxy Gear launch price. Compared to its predecessor, the Gear 2 offers much more value in terms of features and performance. It's looks and feels better, has a boat-l...
Abstract: Display: The most important part of the Gear 2 is its 1.63 inch SUPER AMOLED display that has got 320 x 320 pixel resolution. The screen looks bright adding a premium feel. Even the touch is responsive. Pairing and UI: I tested out the Gear 2 with Samsung...
Abstract: The new Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo will have a heart rate sensor, a pedometer and various tools to measure exercise, sleep and stress levels. The low-resolution, 2-megapixel camera on the Gear 2 is being moved to the main body; it was on the strap on the origi...
This premium looking smartphone can be used as a personal fitness manger, for standalone entertainment, as a phone and of course as watch. The Samsung Gear 2 is priced at Rs. 22,500 if this seems a lot then the Samsung Gear 2 Neo is a very good option for...

Review: Samsung Gear 2Before I proceed with this review, I have a confession to make: I'm not too keen on smartwatches, at least, not right now. That is, ever since I've attained my Bradley. Samsung's Gear Fit, which I reviewed a few issues back, managed...
