The editors didn't like

  • Still chunky

  • Designed for small wrists
  • And we do mean small
  • No obvious way to silence notification
  • Limited number of apps
  • Poor S-Health fitness app syncing
  • Can only be paired to Samsung phones
  • Camera is an unnecessary extra for the $100 it costs over the Gear 2 Neo
  • Unattractive
  • Not enough apps available
  • More clockfaces needed
  • Media controller needs to do link up with more media players
  • Requires a Samsung smartphone to use

  • Slick design, light weight, accurate screen despite fat finger syndrome
  • Only works with TouchWiz Samsung phones, uninspired UI
  • The biggest, and most glaring caveat to the Gear 2 is that it's limited to just Samsung phones.  How...

  • Excellent build quality and design, Superb Display, Impressive camera, speaker, and mic quality
  • Relies too much on companion device
  • Up to this point, it is fair to say that smartwatches haven't quite captivated consumers in the way other smart devices have. Are we just incredibly spoiled when it comes to our mobile devices? A smartwatch is a computer on your wrist for crying out loud...

  • Good call quality, Durable, attractive design, Colorful display, Loud and clear voice calls, Convenient remote-control app
  • Screen doesn't stay lit, Expensive, Few apps, Difficult wrist strap, UI requires too many swipes
  • The Samsung Gear 2 has a sleeker design than its predecessor and a built-in heart-rate monitor, but it doesn't save you enough time for the price....
