The Gear 2 features a number of small tweaks that create a better smartwatch – but it is still not great. We like the fitness and health features and S health will be improved after it is simplified. But it doesn’t offer enough for £250. Play with it in the shop...
The Samsung Gear 2 is a stylish smartwatch packed with features but has limited appeal due to small list of compatible devices. It's still too bulky and many of those features don't work well or are unnecessary. Then there's the high price tag which means...
The original Galaxy Gear smartwatch was by no means a looker, as it was rather bulky and unsightly - thankfully, Samsung has streamlined its successor, and it's a much slicker item of wrist wear that actually looks like a proper watch. Gone from the strap is the watch's camera - instead, it's been integrated into the top of the watch's upper edge, meaning you can swap in different watch straps -
Unfortunately, while Samsung has steadily improved the overall smartwatch package, it still falls short on both being a watch, and frankly, being smart. While its battery life has been improved, it still only lasts around three days, meaning you'll have to charge it up at least twice a week - not ideal when you want to rely on your timepiece for, well, the time.

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: Samsung seems to have gone back to the drawing board with the second iteration. We managed to get a substantial amount of hands on time with the device at Mobile World Congress and what follows are our initial impressions.You may have noticed with all the...

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...
