Slick OS
GPS functionality
Fantastic display
Nutzo battery life. The Gear S's 300 mAh battery isn't even big by smartwatch standards and still I was able to get a whole two days out of it in one stretch
And on the night in-between I was even using it for sleep tracking. This should be the baseline
The Samsung Gear S has a big
Bright curved display
Decent battery life
Comes with its own bonus battery pack and can stay connected away from a phone with its own 3G data or Wi-Fi. It's attractive
Albeit rather large. It's a complete on-wrist phone
Fantastic curved Super AMOLED display
Battery cradle also charges
Notifications work well
Plenty of apps available on Tizen
Big
Bright screen
Improved app support
Good S Health integration
The editors didn't like
Too big
Strap is unwieldy
Worries about battery life
Ugh
It's so big and ugly and unhip. It's vitally important to be able to wear a smartwatch without being uncomfortable
Physically or mentally. Wearing the Gear S made me uncomfortable in both ways. When I wore it for sleep tracking
It kept feeling like
It still requires a recent Samsung phone to pair with and install apps

Fantastic curved Super AMOLED display, Battery cradle also charges, Notifications work well, Plenty of apps available on Tizen,
It's ridiculously expensive, Samsung Galaxy phone reliance, Samsung Health features are poor, Clasp is ugly and hard to use,
By billing the Samsung Gear S as a standalone device – although not officially in those words – Samsung has delivered a dud. A good-looking, expensive, dud. Without the messy Samsung Galaxy smartphone reliance, the Gear S could have been a unique device t...

No. There's a lot you could potentially do with a watch that has its own data connection, but the Gear S doesn't do those things. And the Gear S is big and ugly in order to shove in that limited functionality. The trade-off just isn't worth it. Connectivi...

Big, bright screen, Improved app support, Good S Health integration

Too big, Strap is unwieldy, Worries about battery life
There's no doubting Samsung's intent to conquer the wearable market. In a very short time, the manufacturer has released more smartwatches than can safely fit on one wrist. This scattershot approach to the market is no bad thing. It seems that Samsung is ...
With a focus on fitness and its own 3G capability, the Gear S is moving the smartwatch closer to where we'd like to see it – a standalone, connected device with that makes some everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.That said it still feels like a produ...
