Receives calls, text messages and notifications without a phone nearby, Battery life is better than most full-color smartwatches
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
The Samsung Gear S smartwatch breaks new ground with phone-free communications, but makes too many compromises. With a high up-front price and monthly service charge, buy at your own risk....
How much does a smartwatch really need to do?The Gear S is an incredibly interesting device that really pushes the boundaries of what can be done with a smartwatch today. It's quite a feat to see something in a watch-like form factor with a 2-inch display...

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
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
The wildly ambitious Samsung Gear S smartwatch doubles as a full standalone smartphone, but the software and apps available don't let it do as much as you'd expect....

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
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
No. Theres a lot you could potentially do with a watch that has its own data connection, but the Gear S doesnt do those things. And the Gear S is big and ugly in order to shove in that limited functionality. The trade-off just isnt worth it. Connectivi...

Good looking, comfortable curve, does more than Android Wear watches
Battery life, requires a Samsung Android phone
The Samsung Gear S is a definite step forward, but smartwatches and wearables are still in their grade school years. They Gear S is the most attractive Samsung smartwatch yet, and it can even hang with the more traditionally designed Moto 360. But it's st...
The Smartwatch battle is raging and Samsung is certainly among the leaders, the Gear S is a quite improved model in the Gear lineup, both design-wise and hardware-wise.The manufacturer has surely learned from the numerous wearables it has launched in less...
Great looking screen; Solid battery two day battery life when used as a watch; Can make and take phone calls, and send and receive messages; Heart-rate sensor included; GPS built into the watch;
Needs a Samsung phone (a recent one, at that) to setup; Answering phone calls on your wrist can appear very odd, and make you a little concerned about your appearance; Using the onscreen keyboard is a joke; So few watch faces, and very little for free on
If there's one thing that is clear from the world of smartwatches, it's that there is plenty of competition in this growing area of technology. Right now, Samsung isn't alone, and is one of the world's leaders in smartphones, with a few products of its ow...
