Abstract: Samsung updated their Galaxy Gear smartwatch lineup this year with the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and Gear Fit. I have been using the Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit for the past couple of weeks, including a week of walking around Disneyland, and am impressed by the upd...
The Samsung Galaxy 2 Neo is everything the Samsung Gear 2 is, except for the camera and metal construction. The Neo is lighter, which makes it more comfortable to wear during extended durations. The plastic construction makes it look and feel less polishe...

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...
Abstract: We've tested a bunch of smartwatches in 2014, most of which ran Android Wear. There is a lot of variation in design and some companies –– hello, Moto –– are clearly way out in front with respect to the actual look and feel of their devices. Below is a rou...
More affordable than the Gear 2. Bright and beautiful display. The perfect exercise companion
Issues with screen not coming on when asked. Poor battery life. Too large for some
When I reviewed the Gear 2 a few weeks ago I said it was trying to do too much, and nothing well enough to justify its £250 price tag. Ditching the camera was a good start for the Gear 2 Neo, but I’d like to have seen Samsung go even further and focus on...

Lovely display, Smart notifications, Good price, Simple yet effective
Questionable tracking accuracy
It's £70 cheaper than the top-end Gear 2 and only missing the questionable camera and the superior metal finish. It still looks good, has a superb screen and brings all the notifications away from your phone and straight to your wrist in a very effective...

Better price than the Gear 2, Lovely, bright display, Ideal companion when exercising
On the large side, Display didn't always wake up when we wanted. , Disappointing battery life
Samsung has moved one step nearer to producing a perfect smartwatch with the Gear 2 Neo. It's a better price than the Gear 2 – thanks to the plastic chassis and lack of snapper. Wearable tech is not quite perfect yet, but it's getting there.The alternativ...

Many of the extras don't work as smoothly as you'd expect. Fitness features aren't well thought out, need polishing. Works only with Samsung phones and tablets
The Gear 2 Neo offers the best balance of features and price among Samsung's three 2014 smartwatches, but it falls short of must-have status....
