  • 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....

  • Smooth and responsive, Comfortable
  • New ecosystem and limited compatibility, No touchless controls, S Voice is hit and miss, Notifications are a mess
  • The Galaxy Gear is a fine smartwatch, but it's just like any other first-generation Samsung device: it's a good concept, but it needs more TLC, device compatibility and third-party support....

  • Abstract:  Smartwatches are designed to work with your smartphone rather than replace it, providing notifications so you don't have to whip out your handset every 5 seconds. And although the category is in its infancy, three models stand out among the first crop. The Pebble ($149) is water-resistant and has a wide range of apps available. The Sony SmartWatch 2 ($199) delivers an Android-like experience on your wrist. And the Galaxy Gear ($299) lets you make calls and even snap photos. But which high-tech timepiece is best? We've put all three devices through an 11-round face-off to determine which smartwatch is right for you....

  • Receive notifications without checking phone, The camera being very accessible, Incredibly comfortable on my wrist
  • Lack of apps due to Samsung keeping close tabs on who they bring aboard, Battery life only lasting about a day and a half, A little pricey for what you get now, but once Samsung unlocks their store to open development, the watch is worth every penny
