The editors didn't like
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
Limited app suppor
Short battery lif
Expensive
Limited number of apps
Poor S-Health fitness app syncing
Can only be paired to Samsung phones
Camera is an unnecessary extra for the $100 it costs over the Gear 2 Neo
Pricey. Compatible with Samsung devices only. Lacks apps. Camera is mostly superfluous
Screen doesn't stay lit
Few apps
Difficult wrist strap
UI requires too many swipes
Many features require one of 17 Samsung Galaxy phones or tablets. OK but not great looks. No innovative feature that makes you feel you must own one
