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. The switch to Tizen has meant that
With the Gear 2, Samsung has improved on its original Gear smartwatch, refining the design and switching over the OS to improve its battery - but it still feels unconvincing, unnecessary and flawed. There's a few aspects to like, such as it automatical...

Good improvements on original Gear, including style, speed, camera and much better battery life
Not many apps available yet, needs a dock to charge, accelerator doesn't always activate screen when you move
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...

Abstract: Kiedy w zeszłym roku podczas premiery Samsunga Galaxy Note 3 pojawił się Galaxy Gear dla wielu osób był wręcz niezbędnym akcesorium – głównie ze względu na wielkość Note i jego małą poręczność. Również przez kilka miesięcy mogłem się cieszyć tym właśnie u...
Abstract: 작년 세계 웨어러블 기기 시장의 51%를 차지한 세계 최대 웨어러블 기업 삼성이 새로 발표한 기어2는 과연 어떤 제품이며, 스마트 와치는 어떤 기능들이 있을까요? 이번 글에서는 기어2를 사용해본 느껴본 바를 적어보겠습니다.기어2에는 다양한 기능들이 탑재되어 있습니다. 스마트폰과 연동해서 알림을 받거나 스마트폰으로 전화를 거는것은 단편적인 기능일 뿐, 카메라 촬영이나 음악 재생, 녹음 등은 물론 스마트폰처럼 제 3사 어플리케이션을 다운로드 받아 자유롭게 ...
Abstract: 갤럭시S5의 컴패니언 디바이스인 삼성 기어2입니다. 작년 말 갤럭시기어를 출시함으로써 본격적으로 웨어러블 기기 (스마트 와치) 시 장에 뛰어든 삼성이 갤럭시기어 한 제품으로 작년 웨어러블 세계 시장 점유율 51%를 이룩한 이후, 그를 통해 축적한 노하우를 가지고 개선하고 진화시킨 후속작인 삼성 기어2를 공개했죠. 기어2가 전작의 명성을 이어갈수 있을까요? 이번 글에서는 삼성의 웨어러블 기기 플래그쉽 라인업의 차기작인 기어2를 살펴보겠습니다.기어2 패키지...
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 ...

Samsung Gear 2 to na pewno krok w dobrą stronę. Sporo optymalizacji i poprawek, wpływających na wygodę używania takiego urządzenia. Ciągle jednak zadaje sobie pytanie, kto będzie potrzebował takiego urządzenia?Testując Gear 2 byłem naprawdę mile zaskoczon...
Solid metal build with customisable straps, Bright, sharp colour display, Excellent battery life, On-board music playback, Notifications handled well
Auto-screen on feature needs tweaking, Hardly any apps, Pricey for a smartwatch, Only works with select Samsung devices
The Gear 2 is an improvement over its predecessor in every single way. It's better built, faster, more useful, and has surprisingly good battery life to boot, which is why it's earned an extra star.But it's not without its faults. The auto screen-on sensi...
Abstract: I tested a Samsung Galaxy Gear watch along with an AT&T Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and it does make one feel like being in a James Bond movie, a "Get Smart" TV show or a futuristic science fiction flick. Plus, you can do much more than talk on the ph...
