The Gear Sport with normal use and a minimum of gaming was able to work just shy of three days with the display set to turn on with a wrist flick. If you leave the watch display set to always-on mode you can eke out a good two days or so before it needs a...

There are many things to like about the Samsung Gear Sport. It is good-looking, it is fast and responsive, it has a great display, it lasts sufficiently long between charges, and it is durable enough to withstand some seriously wet exercises. On top of th...
