Sammanfattning: The Galaxy Gear's display uses the same kind of technology in the Galaxy S4 to allow its backlight to flick up simply when you move your arm into what it assumes is a looking position. This is twitchy a lot of the time, and an easy way (as we discovered) ...

Battery life is good and doesn't impact the phone battery life too badly, Looks good and is lighter than a standard watch, Convenient to control music
Very limited functionality when not connected to phone via Bluetooth, Cost, Notifications don't provide enough detail, Screen is off by default to conserve battery, Limited device compatibility
The Galaxy Gear is a good idea and a well-executed first attempt by Samsung but its usefulness and appeal is limited. Currently only Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 owners can use it with more Samsung phones to come in future, but if you don't use a newer Sam...

3/5 The Galaxy Gear does function as a smartwatch, but its attempts to do more without actually doing anything new end up delivering a bulky device with limited use. Checking SMS and calls as they come in is far more useful than we'd have expected, but...

Sammanfattning: Samsung GALAXY Gear Review – The name GALAXY Gear is a little bit confusing since “Gear” can mean a number of things, but since this is the very first wearable Samsung GALAXY range, they have somehow decided to name its flagship device as such.Specificati...
Solid design & build, Effective, responsive display, Camera works well
Extremely limited functionality, Notifications are rubbish, Overpriced
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is well built and has a good screen that's readable in all conditions. Unfortunately, it fails to excel at any particular function, and is extremely poor at handling notifications, one of the key features of a smartwatch...
Battery lasts two days, which is a day longer than we suspected; Not as big a watch as you might expect; Easily adjustable; Camera isn't bad; Alerts you when you have phone calls; Notifications can be read on the watch;
Requires a recent Samsung smartphone; Camera can be affected by condensation; Talking into your watch makes you more conscious of how you look; Camera makes a loud shutter noise, and there's nothing you can do about it; Expensive; Not a device everyone wi
In the past decade, we've seen more people drop the wristwatch in favour of pulling out their smartphone and using that instead as their dedicated time-keeping mechanism, and yet here we are with a product that encourages you to slap on a new wearable tha...
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is an impressive first version of a product that has a lot of potential.There's a definite movement towards wearable gadgets and, naturally, Samsung wanted to be one of the first companies to offer such a product.But while the devi...

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 take on the smartwatch has some potential, and it does get some things right, but its inability to perform truly "smart" functions means it falls far short of expectations....
