Unattractive

The Gear 2 is at best a second-generation experiment in the nascent wearable category. The design is off-putting — we tried to hide the watch in public — and although it has a suite of features, none of them satisfy a clear need. Some people might value o...
3.5/5 If Samsung hadn't jumped the gun with the Gear 1 then it would have avoided the bad reputation against which it is now forced to struggle. The Galaxy Gear 2 is the smartwatch that Samsung needed to lead with. It works, it's not too bulky, and it'...
Abstract: Samsung Gear ‘smartwatch' has definitely matured since its first launched in 2013. The recently launched Samsung Gear 2 had addressed many of the expected features from its predecessor, as well as adding new things to its horizon.There are some noticeable...

Samsung has made strides with the Gear 2, but this smartwatch is on its own island with few apps and Samsung-only device compatibility. At this point, you're better off waiting for Android Wear....

Having never before used a Galaxy Gear, and having little idea what to expect about the new range of Gear devices, I really didn't know how I'd find the Gear 2 in actual use. Truth be told, I didn't really want to review it, because the Pebble left a pret...

A second attempt at a smartwatch reveals better battery life and a more comfortable fit, but Samsung's Gear watches still need more in them.Sure, they work, and the screen is one of the best examples of any wearable we've ever seen, but unless you rely so...
The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is a good device - but not a great one. The improved 3 day battery life (6 if you really want to push it) is a good enough number for now , as charging is becoming expected - although the real winner is going to be able to make ...
Longer battery life, Heart rate monitor and IR Blaster
Expensive

I really like the Gear 2. It is stylish and comfortable and it's a watch I would wear just as a watch even if it didn't have so many other tricks hidden inside. At $300 it pushes the range of what I consider reasonable for a device like this, but the S...
