The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch delivers an improved design
Better notifications
A heart rate monitor
And basic fitness tracking offer a lot of extras. It's water-resistant
Too
Feature rich
Great screen
Remote control built in
Decent battery life equates to around four days
Bright and colourful screen with great viewing angles
More comfortable wristband than previous generation
The editors didn't like
Still chunky
Likely expensive
Battery life isn't too good. Maybe a day (or two) if you hardly use it
Wristband supplied is horribly uncomfortable. Sensitive skin wearers will dislike it intensely
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
A more refined, lightweight design that is dustand waterproof, Interchangeable strapsNavigating the software is very simple, Display is visible even under direct sunlight, Controlling your TV with your smartwatch is a geek's pleasure
Incompatible with anything other than a Samsung smartphoneSuffers from a very poor app ecosystem, The price premium over competitors makes it hard to justify the little functionality if offers, Heart rate monitor is slow, quirky, and serves little use, The camera's placement isn't very optimal
Samsung has carried out a number of improvements with the Gear 2, and pretty much all of them were for the better. We definitely like the design more, as the watch is both less bulky and lighter, but also less sporty with its looks. With the exception ...
Abstract: I tested a Samsung Galaxy Gear watch along with an AT&T Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and it does make one feel like being in a James Bond movie, a "Get Smart" TV show or a futuristic science fiction flick. Plus, you can do much more than talk on the ph...

Abstract: One of the big problems with the Galaxy Gear (and there were a few) was its bulky, somewhat ugly design, and we're happy to see that Samsung has taken a step – albeit just a step – in the right direction with the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. Gone are the questi...

After years of trying, Samsung has finally produced a watch worth buying.The Gear S2 is well made, looks great and has some neat features tucked inside its lightweight frame.We also really like the rotating bezel which is intuitive and a lot of fun to use...

The Samsung Gear 2 is already available market for a price of around 300 euros. For the price of this accessory seems too high we have the ability to sacrifice the camera in the Samsung Neo Gear 2, a cheaper (version 200 euros) this smart watch. The Sams...
Waterproof and feels and wellmade Battery will last a full weekend Screen is bright and sharp
Software can be fiddly to navigate Camera is low quality and feels unnecessary Accelerometer needs work Far too expensive
I really like watches. I have a box of them at home and I’d love to add a smartwatch to my collection. But no manufacturer is quite there yet, including Samsung. The Gear 2 improves on much that was wrong with the Galaxy Gear; it’s light enough and (just...

Great for notifications, Heart rate monitor built in, Lots of apps, Super AMOLED display
Poor sleep tracking, Questionable camera skills, Hefty price tag, Only Samsung compatible
It's good to wear and handy for notifications but that better build and trinket of a camera come at too much of an extra cost for us to recommend it over the Gear 2 Neo. We like this smartwatch but it still doesn't feel like an essential part of our routi...
