Too

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

Good improvements on original Gear, including style, speed, camera and much better battery life
Not many apps available yet, needs a dock to charge, accelerator doesn't always activate screen when you move
It's getting there. The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 improves on its predecessor in almost every significant way -- it's slimmer and lighter, the camera's better and it's faster too. The screen's the same, but it's more than good enough for this size and thoug...
The Samsung Gear 2 is without a doubt a big improvement on the original Galaxy Gear. While still somewhat bulky, it's much sleeker than the previous model, it has a more impressive set of features and, if Samsung's claims are to be believed, its battery w...

Abstract: The Galaxy in the original Galaxy Gear smartwatch name is gone, as Samsung's Gear 2 ditches Android for Tizen OS. This means a new fast, simple and now - with a heart rate sensor - more comprehensive menu than before. But is it enough to let this smartwat...

The main problem we had with the original Galaxy Gear is that we never felt like we needed it, the new Gear 2 has changed that. It works as a watch, it works as a fitness tracker, it looks good and it comes with extras that other smart watches don't.It's...
Expensive, Unnecessary features with poor applications, Pointless camera, So-so battery life
Samsung has made numerous improvements, but the Gear 2 remains an unconvincing smartwatch, doubly so considering Android Wear watches are due later this year....
The new Samsung Gear 2 is the watch that we were all expecting to happen at MWC, but it came with a few surprises along the way. The biggest one is the fact it's running Tizen; or, as Samsung tells us, a Tizen-based OS for smartwatches. The distinction is...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch. The Galaxy Gear 2 is powered by Tizen based wearable platform and has a 1.63″ Super AMOLED 320 x 320 display. The Smartwatch runs on a 1GHz dual core CPU, has a 2 MP camera that captures up to 1080p photos ...
Abstract: It used to be a simple idea when it came to keeping time. You'd strap on a watch, flick your wrist and you'd be informed.These days however, people want more out of their gadgets. A stop-watch and a primitive liquid crystal display isn't going to cut it a...
