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

Too big, Strap is unwieldy, Worries about battery life
The Samsung Gear S feels like a device that yet again is something of a litmus test for Samsung. No one really knows what people want from a smartwatch yet, so Samsung has seemingly decided to shove everything into this one. Because of this it is a chunk...
