When I reviewed the Gear 2 a few weeks ago I said it was trying to do too much, and nothing well enough to justify its £250 price tag. Ditching the camera was a good start for the Gear 2 Neo, but I’d like to have seen Samsung go even further and focus on...

Lovely display, Smart notifications, Good price, Simple yet effective
Questionable tracking accuracy
It's £70 cheaper than the top-end Gear 2 and only missing the questionable camera and the superior metal finish. It still looks good, has a superb screen and brings all the notifications away from your phone and straight to your wrist in a very effective...

Samsung has moved one step nearer to producing a perfect smartwatch with the Gear 2 Neo. It's a better price than the Gear 2 – thanks to the plastic chassis and lack of snapper. Wearable tech is not quite perfect yet, but it's getting there.The alternativ...

The Gear 2 Neo offers the best balance of features and price among Samsung's three 2014 smartwatches, but it falls short of must-have status....

At a more reasonable price tag than the flagship model, the Samsung Gear 2 Neo is decent smartwatch with plenty of features - we don't care about the lack of a camera. However, the need for a specific Samsung companion device and a limited amount of downl...
Beautiful display, good notifications options, looks good, easy to use, comfortable to wear, reasonable price
Lack of apps, limited compatibility, wrist flicking response a little slow, average battery life
The Samsung Gear 2 Neo does a brilliant job of what it sets out to do: acting a go-between to your Samsung phone. Despite effectively hitting the reset button and ditching Android in favour of Tizen, Samsung has resolved many of the issues with the...
