The editors didn't like
It is so sluggishly slooooow. That in itself really taints the user experience and makes what could be convenient into something that is aggravating. There are only a handful of things it does well
And they aren't numerous enough to justify the cost. It
Uncomfortable to wear for some
Battery life
Cons
Expensive
Short battery life
Baffling UI
No email send support
Camcorder is limited to 15-second videos
Currently only works with the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1

The Galaxy Gear has great potential, The big bright screen of the Note 3 is a pleasure to use, The Stylus makes interaction simple, The back button, not on an iPhone but so useful!
The Android keyboard was difficult to use with a poor autocorrect, The size, too big for me but ideal for others, Toughness, Lack of dual speakers on the front, Video pause eye tracking was too intruding
I did investigate how to install iOS on the Samsung. Unfortunately, there's no way to do that which is a shame. I could imagine a Samsung with the ability to dual / triple boot and run iOS would be pretty cool. You will be able to dual-boot Android with U...

Solid design & build, Effective, responsive display, Camera works well
Extremely limited functionality, Notifications are rubbish, Overpriced
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is well built and has a good screen that's readable in all conditions. Unfortunately, it fails to excel at any particular function, and is extremely poor at handling notifications, one of the key features of a smartwatch...

Eye-catching, premium styling, fits comfortably on your wrist, distinguishing feature in the onboard camera, and you can answer/make calls via the Gear
Very sparsely populated app selection within Samsung Apps, weak device support, a lack of a real killer feature, and its high RRP
Samsung GALAXY GearSince the first time I heard about Samsung GALAXY Gear I was curious on how useful it would be to be part of my daily life together with a smartphone like Samsung GALAXY Note 3. Let's check out how does a Samsung GALAXY Gear looks like ...
I am one of the few people (maybe because I'm a gadget geek) who would likely be an early adopter to all these new wearable tech like Google Glass, smartwatches and all. So, I really wanted to like the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch.Having said that, I ag...
Overall, we do have to commend Samsung for a solid effort but the GALAXY Gear definitely needs a little bit more work put into it before it becomes a device that most consumers will rush out to buy. Furthermore, as of time of writing, it is only compatib...
