Samsung Gear 2

 

Samsung's smartwatch ditches Android but it's still deeply flawed

Improved, premium design, Simple, intuative interface, Comfortable

Expensive, Unnecessary features with poor applications, Pointless camera, So-so battery life

Samsung Gear 2 review

 

A cool watch - but it's already been outshone

Swappable bands ; Longer battery

Neo is a better buy ; Expensive

The Gear 2 is a much improved device - but the Gear 2 Neo offers little less and is a lot cheaper

Can the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch improve on its predecessor?

Samsung Gear 2 review

 

There's a revolution in wearable tech and Samsung is in the thick of it, fighting for elbow room, along with just about every other tech manufacturer out there. Its second-generation wearable device, the Samsung Gear 2, is a new generation of...

Nice looking premium design, stacked full of features, customisable user interface, great display

Locked to Samsung devices, battery life isn't great, Gear 2 Neo undercuts price, might be obsolete due to Android Wear devices, sports features aren't executed as well as sports watches

The Samsung Gear 2 offers a whole range of functionality and it is impressive what Samsung has packed into this wearable device. As a watch we like the design, the slick navigation, and the display is bright, vibrant and responsive.

Hands-on: Samsung Gear 2 review - Pocket-lint

 

The Galaxy in the original Galaxy Gear smartwatch name is gone, as Samsung's Gear 2 ditches Android for Tizen OS. This means a new fast, simple and now

Samsung Gear 2 video review: Tizen smartwatch offers style and substance at a price

 

Samsung wants you to buy one of its devices and as such the Gear 2 smartwatch is only compatible with 17 Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The firm isn't doing itself any favours here so we're not off to the best of starts.

Samsung Gear 2 review

 

Wearable devices are booming, with more smartwatches and fitness trackers launching all the time. Along with the Galaxy S5 smartphone, Samsung has launched a trio of wearable gadgets consisting of the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit.

The Samsung Gear 2 is a stylish smartwatch packed with features but has limited appeal due to small list of compatible devices. It's still too bulky and many of those features don't work well or are unnecessary. Then there's the high price tag which...

Samsung Gear 2 review

 

Will Samsung's second plunge into the smartwatch sea bring it success? We strap in to find out

Solid metal build with customisable straps ; Bright, sharp colour display ; Excellent battery life ; On-board music playback ; Notifications handled well

Auto-screen on feature needs tweaking ; Hardly any apps ; Pricey for a smartwatch ; Only works with select Samsung devices

An improvement in every way, the Gear 2 is an impressive smartwatch that's sadly still shackled to Samsung's ecosystem

Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch review

 

Samsung's sequel aims to win over users with a slimmer design and a focus on fitness

High end design and build quality, good screen, fun to use, bursting with fitness features, improved battery life, updated camera position

Limited to working with only Samsung Galaxy devices

For £250, the Gear 2 is cheaper than its predecessor, which retailed for £300 when it launched in the UK, but it is still rather pricey for what it does. The fitness tracking features are a nice bonus, but the Gear 2 offers a feature set limited by the...
