The Samsung Galaxy Gear is the latest development on the smart watch scene and Samsung’s most recent effort at a wearable gadget. A rival to the Sony Smart Watch 2, the Samsung Galaxy Gear is a second-screen companion to a Samsung Galaxy branded smart phone or tablet, and features a 1.63-inch touch screen display.
With an inbuilt camera and the ability to make and receive calls direct from your wrist, the Samsung Galaxy Gear is attempting to satisfy many needs, but is this enough to justify the hefty £300 price tag?
With the Samsung Galaxy Gear, Samsung’s design team has managed what it failed with both the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 – a device that looks both appealing and high-end. With a stainless steel face and buckle, the Gear’s premium design looks and feels the part, but, at more than twice the price of its closest rival, it had to really.
The textured plastic strap can be easily adjusted and the buckle is secure and at no danger of coming loose when fastened. The watch looks bulky when compared with a standard timepiece, but when on your wrist it feels light and comfortable. At just 73.8g in weight it is not particularly heavy and causes no discomfort after a day’s use. What’s more, with the body of the watch just 11.1mm thick, it is barely any chunkier than your phone.
