Default Samsung Galaxy Gear Review

So I've had the watch for a couple weeks now and I thought i'd give it a quick review.

Overall, its a pretty neat thing, a lot of people like it and want to know more about it. As far as features, if its something stock on your phone like texting or phone calls, the watch is great. But 3rd party apps like gmail, facebook, twitter and so on, it falls on its face right now.

You have to get another app to help view notifications on the watch, the twitter one is decent, facebook one is so so. Otherwise the watch will just tell you to check your phone. Battery life is good, I can get 2 days out of the watch and it'll still have around 30% batter left.

Overall its a neat gadget, if you want to know more, feel free to ask a question.

Heres a couple pics



This next one is taken from the watch, not a very good example, but its the only one I have right now



And lastly a video, i'm VERY impressed with the video quality with this thing, only downside is its limited to 15 second clips.

Thanks `Keane for posting/sharing your new toy...It just amazing the new electronics that are out on the market...

Nice picture, but it looks like a bomb went `off in your stock room >
I need to just get a personal cell phone. We have company phones, but only 4 company business. (Unless emergencies)...

Wish you fun & great pictures of your adventures in life > EnJoy

Its really not that big of a watch, but if you have rather small arms it might seem kind of big. I have to be with in Bluetooth range for it to be fully functional, otherwise its jut a watch. And yes you can read and answer texts on the watch, you just have to speak out your reply.
