The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo could be a gamechanger. The watch that strips out the superfluous camera, adds in really useful technology and is open to developers will be a real attraction for some users - it's just a shame that we don't know the price. ...
Abstract: We've tested a bunch of smartwatches in 2014, most of which ran Android Wear. There is a lot of variation in design and some companies –– hello, Moto –– are clearly way out in front with respect to the actual look and feel of their devices. Below is a rou...
More affordable than the Gear 2. Bright and beautiful display. The perfect exercise companion
Issues with screen not coming on when asked. Poor battery life. Too large for some

Better price than the Gear 2, Lovely, bright display, Ideal companion when exercising
On the large side, Display didn't always wake up when we wanted. , Disappointing battery life
Samsung has moved one step nearer to producing a perfect smartwatch with the Gear 2 Neo. It's a better price than the Gear 2 – thanks to the plastic chassis and lack of snapper. Wearable tech is not quite perfect yet, but it's getting there.The alternativ...
