The editors liked

  • Nutzo battery life. The Gear S's 300 mAh battery isn't even big by smartwatch standards and still I was able to get a whole two days out of it in one stretch
  • And on the night in-between I was even using it for sleep tracking. This should be the baseline
  • Receives calls
  • Text messages and notifications without a phone nearby
  • Battery life is better than most full-color smartwatches
  • The Samsung Gear S has a big
  • Bright curved display
  • Decent battery life
  • Comes with its own bonus battery pack and can stay connected away from a phone with its own 3G data or Wi-Fi. It's attractive
  • Albeit rather large. It's a complete on-wrist phone
  • Good looking
  • Comfortable curve
  • Does more than Android Wear watches
  • FUN
  • Stylish
  • Good features
  • Quality
  • Image quality
  • Solid hardware
  • Doesn't rely on Bluetooth
  • Solid battery life
  • Works as a standalone phone
  • Colorful AMOLED display
  • Comes with a cradle that's also a portable charger

The editors didn't like

  • Ugh
  • It's so big and ugly and unhip. It's vitally important to be able to wear a smartwatch without being uncomfortable
  • Physically or mentally. Wearing the Gear S made me uncomfortable in both ways. When I wore it for sleep tracking
  • It kept feeling like
  • Large
  • Clunky design with annoying clasp and snap-on charger
  • Expensive up-front price with an additional monthly cost for wireless service
  • Contacts won't recognize your number for outgoing calls
  • Interface is confusing
  • Inconsistent and lacking in actio
  • It still requires a recent Samsung phone to pair with and install apps
  • And its standalone features don't work with all apps and notifications. The Gear app library is still weak compared with Android Wear
  • Battery life
  • Requires a Samsung Android phone
  • Expensive
  • You know that there will be a far better model in a couple of years
  • Too expensive
  • Limited compatibility and app selection
  • Still needs a phone for activation and loading apps
  • Limited app selection
  • Bulky design with proprietary wrist straps

  • The Samsung Gear S might have some decent specs but we just don't understand the concept of a smartwatch which can take a SIM-card. It's too expensive, and the vast majority of users will find the device simply too big. Sorry Samsung, we just don't get th...

  • Slick OS, GPS functionality, Fantastic display
  • Too big, Strap is unwieldy, Worries about battery life
  • There's no doubting Samsung's intent to conquer the wearable market. In a very short time, the manufacturer has released more smartwatches than can safely fit on one wrist. This scattershot approach to the market is no bad thing. It seems that Samsung is ...

  • With a focus on fitness and its own 3G capability, the Gear S is moving the smartwatch closer to where we'd like to see it – a standalone, connected device with that makes some everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.That said it still feels like a produ...
