Moi) proclaimed
Great quality screen
Strong app support out of the gate
Seeing text messages at a glance is often handier than pulling out your phone. For apps like Evernote and Media Controls
It's pretty wonderful to have easy access. The Super AMOLED screen and stainless steel bezel make for a very attractive combination

A cool charging solution that offloads large components like a micro-USB port to a case—just don't lose it
It's easy to open and pass notifications to your phone
The back navigation gesture works great and doesn't require an extra button

Incredibly comfortable on my wrist
Smooth and responsive
The editors didn't like
Barely any apps
Monochrome app design
Limited ‘wake up’ gesture
Not water resistant
Expensive
Especially when compared to the Pebble
Requires Galaxy Note 3 (and select Galaxy devices in the future) to work
Charging is awkward
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
Works with Galaxy Note 3 only at launch
It’s not water resistant
Touch accuracy is finicky
Unable to view certain notifications directly on it
Step tracking isn’t automatic & continuous
Only compatible with some Samsung Galaxy phones. Battery life is 12 days. Charging requires charging case and no headphone port
Short battery life
Call quality not good
Bulky
Can't be used with all Android devices
Price is very high for such a device
Black and white main UI
Depends on a handset
Not many apps available
Captures just 15 seconds of video
It makes no single part of your smartphone usage easier
It currently works only with other new Samsung devices
It can only handle notifications for texts
POP/Exchange e-mails
And phone calls
No real support for Gmail
Facebook
Twitter
G+
Or Google
Poor battery life
S Voice is unreliable
Limited phone support
Illconceived app vision
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. Lacks killer apps. Bulky style isn't for everyone
A lack of e-mail and social network support
Limited compatibility with other devices
The external charging case
And hit-and-miss voice control seriously limit its usefulness
Screen not lit all the time
Works only with Galaxy Note 3 (for now)
S Voice integration could be better
Gmail and Google+ notifications too vague
No official Facebook or Twitter apps
Uninformative notifications
Apps are either buggy or substandard
Insipid
Cumbersome design
Has the battery life of a phone
Not a watch
Extravagantly overpriced
Only works with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Hardware is uncomfortably hefty. Chunky clasp gets in the way while typing on a laptop. Camera is downright creeptastic. It's easier and faster to just use your smartphone for most tasks. Price — it's a $300 smar
Limited to working with Samsung Galaxy devices only
One day battery life
Lack of apps due to Samsung keeping close tabs on who they bring aboard
Battery life only lasting about a day and a half
A little pricey for what you get now
But once Samsung unlocks their store to open development

Apps propias y adaptadas, Posibilidad hablar y contestar llamadas desde el propio Gear, Incluye cámara

Qualité de l'écran, Nombreuses fonctionnalités, Finition
Prix, Autonomie, Peu d'appareils compatibles
La Samsung Galaxy Gear est un très bel objet, pratique et qui est clairement à la pointe de la technologie actuelle. Malheureusement, le prix auquel elle est proposée est en accord avec cela : à 329 dollars, il s'agit d'un budget conséquent pour un tel ob...
Autonomie désastreuse / Obligation de passer par un dock pour charger, Impossible de changer le bracelet, Capteur photo médiocre, Intérêt du parc applicatif, Appel en haut-parleur tout de même compliqué pour l'appelant comme pour l'interlocuteur
Si le produit est remarquablement fini, que son écran est bien lumineux et assez défini et que la réactivité est au rendez-vous, rien ne peut compenser l'autonomie désastreuse en usage "normal" pour une personne ultra connectée (la cible !), le peu de com...
