Design – the Galaxy Gear looks quite stylish and is definitely impressive on the wrist, Notifications with the latest update for the Galaxy Gear, it supports notifications for any app which is definitely impressive, Camera – yes it has a camera and whilst
Battery – if you're after a watch with a few smart features, the Galaxy Gear isn't for you as the battery just isn't good enough
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is definitely an interesting gadget to have on your wrist. If you use a Samsung GALAXY smartphone that is compatible with the Galaxy Gear, we'd definitely recommend buying one if you can purchase it under £200. The design is impres...
Underpowered, poor battery life and a chunky design
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is truly a smartwatch, with a surprisingly large number of features. But you'd probably be better off sticking with your phone for a lot of them, while the battery life is a show stopper...

Good looking device, clear and sensitive touchscreen
Bulky and heavy, limited features, limited compatibility with smartphones, not many apps, poor battery life
The Galaxy Gear feels like too little, too soon, at too big a price, with too limited a spread of supported devices to use it with -- and it's essential you pair it with one. There's clearly a potential market for smart watches, but limited capability t...
The Galaxy Gear is a well-made, comfortable smartwatch that offers decent (if not perfect) functionality as a secondary device to compliment the smartphone resting in your pocket. But it's not without flaws. Its limited compatibility to Samsung products...

Looks good, fantastic screen, camera is better than we'd anticipated, comfortable, a good watch, easy to set up, bags of potential
Expensive, lack of consistency in notifications, needs more apps and general support, camera fogged up on a number of occasions, Note 3 only for the time being, feels as though it's hit the shelves early
Ultimately, our opinion of the Galaxy Gear is that it's a fantastic piece of technology, easily the best device of its type that we've seen and one that has bags of potential. The display is brilliant, there are enough apps on the watch right now to...
Vibrant and colourful AMOLED display, Makes calls (via your smartphone), Snaps usable photos and video clips
Expensive, Short battery life, Baffling interface
At the moment, there are few smartwatch alternatives as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy Gear, but most are easier to work with. Our current favourite smartwatch is the Pebble, which costs a third of what Samsung is asking for the Gear, has a much longer l...
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is attractive, comfortable, and makes it easy to see incoming calls
A lack of e-mail and social network support, limited compatibility with other devices, the external charging case, and hit-and-miss voice control seriously limit its usefulness
Samsung's first smart watch looks really classy and has potential, but it lacks some really basic features. Its battery life isn't good enough either, and it only works with the Galaxy Note 3 right now. Definitely not worth £300....
There are a few things that stop us from really liking the Galaxy Gear. The first is its price - at £300 it's just too expensive.Second is that it only works with Samsung devices. If Sony can open its doors on the Smart Watch 2, then why can't Samsung?Thi...

Sammanfattning: For a start, most of the time the Gear smartwatch doesn't actually tell me the time. This is not progress. A sensor is supposed to detect when you lift your arm and automatically turn on the display but it doesn't work sufficiently often. Pressing a bu...
