The Samsung Gear 2 is a worthy upgrade to the Galaxy Gear. It looks and feels more refined than its predecessor, with more polished hardware and extra software functionalities. Your only concern at this point might be the use of Samsung's proprietary Tize...

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...

Abstract: When the Galaxy Gear wristwatch launched last fall, the results looked like a Samsung panic move. Someone at the company must have thought there was a race to beat the other mobile-world titans—namely, Google and Apple —to a wearable, phone-like accessory...

Longer battery life, New heart rate monitor and IR blaster, Improved design
Very few apps, Some software features feel superficial
The Gear 2 is generally a solid improvement over the original, with a nicer design and longer battery life. Even so, it doesn't perform well enough to fully justify the $300 asking price....

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: 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...
The Gear 2 is at best a second-generation experiment in the nascent wearable category. The design is off-putting — we tried to hide the watch in public — and although it has a suite of features, none of them satisfy a clear need. Some people might value o...
