For me, the good outweighs the bad and makes the cons so minor and petty. I have had issues with finding a cell phone with a strong vibration. My hearing husband, who travels for work, uses text as his primary form of communication with me. Often and too many times, I would miss his messages because of not being able to feel the phone vibrating. With the galaxy gear on my wrist, I never miss his messages. Maybe this isn't something others need but I find that this watch is a great little techy device. Samsung started somewhere and in my opinion, this is a good start. It has been consistently responding as expected. I've read other reviews from different sites about needing to shake their wrist just to turn the device on from sleep mode. I have not had that issue. When I lift my wrist as if to look at the time, the device turns on from sleep mode consistently. I personally love this device. The wrist vibration is just one of the many things I like about it. I'm able to respond to text messages by talking into the watch on s voice (Yes I am Deaf and Can talk). I'm able to send messages without ever picking up the phone. Very useful when driving. (Reminder, anything that distracts you from driving is NOT SAFE so use with caution). Also, I am totally baffled at the picture quality. I could not have asked for a better camera on this device. I have posted pictures taken using the Galaxy Gear. Maybe we can play a game and see who can guess which pictures were taken on my Galaxy Note 3 and which ones were taken on the Galaxy Gear. I will look for your responses. I've only had it for one day so I will see if I can come back later down the road to add information on durability. I highly recommend this device for what it does. A lot of other reviews focus on what it does not do. Keep in mind, the battery did run out before the end of the day probably because I actually used it a lot. If you are one of those type people that expect forever life in batteries needing only to charge it once a blue moon, maybe this device is not for you because it will annoy you. Despite the battery running out by the end of the day, this thing amazingly charged fairly quick within a few hours. So I'm sold right now. Again, a durability review will come later down the road.

If you want to be like James Bond get one. What I like is the Look, durability, easy usability, custom watch faces, easy setup, and updates. What I don't like is the Battery life, not waterproof, volume, protruding camera, noncustomizable watch bands, and charging cradle. Would recommend it. If you got some extra loot go with the Gear 2 and if you can wait it out the next line of Samsung watches will have the phone built into them so no need to lug your phablets around.
