Too big
Strap is unwieldy

At that) to setup
Answering phone calls on your wrist can appear very odd
And make you a little concerned about your appearance

If there's one thing that is clear from the world of smartwatches, it's that there is plenty of competition in this growing area of technology. Right now, Samsung isn't alone, and is one of the world's leaders in smartphones, with a few products of its ow...

No. There's a lot you could potentially do with a watch that has its own data connection, but the Gear S doesn't do those things. And the Gear S is big and ugly in order to shove in that limited functionality. The trade-off just isn't worth it. Connectivi...

Too big, Strap is unwieldy, Worries about battery life
The Samsung Gear S feels like a device that yet again is something of a litmus test for Samsung. No one really knows what people want from a smartwatch yet, so Samsung has seemingly decided to shove everything into this one. Because of this it is a chunk...
Abstract: The smartwatch is the coolest accessory of 2014. You're not somebody if you don't have a shiny screen hanging off your wrist and flashing notifications from your Samsung's latest attempt at making its own bespoke smartwatch is an interesting one.For one...
The Samsung Gear S is smart -looking in an ostentatious way. It is beautifully designed, easy to work with, a reasonable battery life but for most people it will be just too big! Even though it's about a year old now it still holds much of its value on t...
Abstract: Apple would have you believe that no smartwatches existed before Apple Watch, at least none worth owning anyway. Yet wearables have been evolving for the last several years, and in the current push between Android Wear and Apple, it might be easy to overl...
