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

The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch delivers an improved design, better notifications, a heart rate monitor, and basic fitness tracking offer a lot of extras. It's water-resistant, too
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
Samsung has made strides with the Gear 2, but this smartwatch is on its own island with few apps and Samsung-only device compatibility. At this point, you're better off waiting for Android Wear....

Comes in a variety of cool colours, Wristband is replaceable, unlike last year's version, The bulky charging cradle is replaced with one a little less complex, Runs Tizen, instead of Android, meaning it's faster, Setup is easy, and as a bonus, you can eve
Battery life isn't too good. Maybe a day (or two) if you hardly use it, Wristband supplied is horribly uncomfortable. Sensitive skin wearers will dislike it intensely, Designed for small wrists, and we do mean small, No obvious way to silence notification
Having never before used a Galaxy Gear, and having little idea what to expect about the new range of Gear devices, I really didn't know how I'd find the Gear 2 in actual use. Truth be told, I didn't really want to review it, because the Pebble left a pret...
Remote control built in; Decent battery life equates to around four days; Bright and colourful screen with great viewing angles; More comfortable wristband than previous generation;
Not enough apps available; More clockfaces needed; Media controller needs to do link up with more media players; Requires a Samsung smartphone to use;
A second attempt at a smartwatch reveals better battery life and a more comfortable fit, but Samsung's Gear watches still need more in them.Sure, they work, and the screen is one of the best examples of any wearable we've ever seen, but unless you rely so...
The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is a good device - but not a great one. The improved 3 day battery life (6 if you really want to push it) is a good enough number for now , as charging is becoming expected - although the real winner is going to be able to make ...

After years of trying, Samsung has finally produced a watch worth buying.The Gear S2 is well made, looks great and has some neat features tucked inside its lightweight frame.We also really like the rotating bezel which is intuitive and a lot of fun to use...

The Samsung Gear 2 is already available market for a price of around 300 euros. For the price of this accessory seems too high we have the ability to sacrifice the camera in the Samsung Neo Gear 2, a cheaper (version 200 euros) this smart watch. The Sams...
Waterproof and feels and wellmade Battery will last a full weekend Screen is bright and sharp
Software can be fiddly to navigate Camera is low quality and feels unnecessary Accelerometer needs work Far too expensive
I really like watches. I have a box of them at home and I’d love to add a smartwatch to my collection. But no manufacturer is quite there yet, including Samsung. The Gear 2 improves on much that was wrong with the Galaxy Gear; it’s light enough and (just...

Great for notifications, Heart rate monitor built in, Lots of apps, Super AMOLED display
Poor sleep tracking, Questionable camera skills, Hefty price tag, Only Samsung compatible
It's good to wear and handy for notifications but that better build and trinket of a camera come at too much of an extra cost for us to recommend it over the Gear 2 Neo. We like this smartwatch but it still doesn't feel like an essential part of our routi...
