The editors liked

  • 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
  • And its standalone features don't work with all apps and notifications. The Gear app library is still weak compared with Android Wear
  • It's ridiculously expensive
  • Samsung Galaxy phone reliance
  • Samsung Health features are poor
  • Clasp is ugly and hard to use
  • Slightly laggy performance
  • Apps still need to be downloaded on phone

  • No. Theres a lot you could potentially do with a watch that has its own data connection, but the Gear S doesnt do those things. And the Gear S is big and ugly in order to shove in that limited functionality. The trade-off just isnt worth it. Connectivi...

  • Good looking, comfortable curve, does more than Android Wear watches
  • Battery life, requires a Samsung Android phone
  • The Samsung Gear S is a definite step forward, but smartwatches and wearables are still in their grade school years. They Gear S is the most attractive Samsung smartwatch yet, and it can even hang with the more traditionally designed Moto 360. But it's st...

  • Great looking screen; Solid battery two day battery life when used as a watch; Can make and take phone calls, and send and receive messages; Heart-rate sensor included; GPS built into the watch;
  • Needs a Samsung phone (a recent one, at that) to setup; Answering phone calls on your wrist can appear very odd, and make you a little concerned about your appearance; Using the onscreen keyboard is a joke; So few watch faces, and very little for free on
  • If there's one thing that is clear from the world of smartwatches, it's that there is plenty of competition in this growing area of technology. Right now, Samsung isn't alone, and is one of the world's leaders in smartphones, with a few products of its ow...
