Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a fantastic purchase for me. I've been wanting one for some time and was excited to get it. It looks stylish, lightweight, and it was very easy to configure. The Gear Market is a drawback as they have a limited selection of apps that can be downloaded, but there are a few nice selections worthy of a download. I get up to at least 2 days on a single battery charge, which is more than the reviews I've seen were reporting - so I'll take it. The camera is very clear and uploads pictures smoothly to my S3. I was able to work around the limited selection of ringtones and alerts by side-loading a couple without rooting the device. They make me enjoy receiving calls even more than before. Calls are very clear and callers are hardly aware that they are on speakerphone - which is a bonus. All in all, a great purchase.

I love the camera on this watch. Great to take pictures of people and I love how all my messages can notify me without having to pull my phone out of my pocket.

very convenient to have. i could answer my calls and answer text messages from anywhere in house without having to look for my phone when it rings. i like having the camera/video on the watch so you don't miss that "kodak moment" trying find ur phone, unlock it, find camera app so on so forth. the price is steep, but i got it as a xmas present. the microphone could be better. callers often say it sounds like i'm in a tunnel. you have to talk loud.otherwise, i'm glad to have it.

Overall, the Samsung device exceeded my expectations for a SmartWatch. It is designed for the Samsung user like it was a missing puzzle piece. While simple and elegant it keeps the class of a watch but also optimizing smart phone stinks like notifications phone calls, pictures, etc.battery life and price, however, keep it from getting a5 star rating. it does come with Android which is modifiable which is a plus in my book for developers. Overall, I love it.

Acquired this item as a gift for my wife.(so I'm not the end user) It is small enough to be a watch, but has a big enough display to read. She now wears it every day instead of her other watches. My only concern is it only works with Samsung phones. So if she changes phones again the gear will most likely to be a $300 piece of scrap lying in the never wear corner of her jewelry box.

I've read all the reviews of this product that suggest the battery life is poor, but this simply is not true. In fact, I easily get 3 days of use by turning off the motion feature. This feature is the main culprit that drains your battery. The features I like the most are the convenience of getting your notification in a timely manner, the pedometer measuring your steps or use Map My Run for tracking your running/bicycling, and finally, the media control feature. I could go on and on, but simply put, I love it!

The gear is fun to use and has some pretty cool features. I like that you can take pictures and it sends straight to the phone. It really needs a lot more apps but its new. I sure they will come. The white wrist band picks up dirt and dies from everything so I wouldnt recommend that color. I am always having to charge the battery...its not very efficant. Also it is a bit heavy on the wrist and becomes uncomfortable.

I primarily got this watch for the wrist notification because I carry two phones and it works great for that. The band was a little weird but once you figure it out it's fine. I have used the speaker phone a couple of times and found it to be okay but a little awkward in a crowd. Reading texts on your arm is kind of nice. The bluetooth range is great, I can put my phone on the charger and take calls on my watch. I waited for the price to drop before I got it only to find out the new version is due out in another month. You might want to wait...

Most companion gadgets that you've bought in the past or you will buy in the future are mostly for keeping with trends or being downright flashy. This is not the case with the Galaxy Gear. When you receive as many phone calls, texts, and e-mails as I do (I'm an accountant) there are times where you have to silence your phone on the fly or stop to actually respond to messages. Having notifications sent to a watch (and have the ability to silence or send a canned message) while you're typing up a response, review, report, etc. is a lifesaver when you can instantly discern what's pertinent or what can wait. I never thought one piece could change my cellular experience. This did it.

This s item not really good , actually it 's bad watch when i pay for $250 can not use in water , bluetooth connection with the phone not far , actually your phone have near by you if u want the watch it work , also it short battery life . And it's only use for samsung phone . This watch tooo ooo expensive to use like baby toy for kids

I Bought this to match my phone & it's just all out amazing! I love the fact that I can take photos when I don't feel like pulling out my phone & make quick calls when my phone is in my purse

to me the galaxy Gear is great except for you can't erase the missed call notification my favorite is the camera in the media controller I also love the pedometer it's great for my workouts

The watch is very useful and fun to use. I can listen to music and talk on the phone without even touching my phone. Best thing I have had in years. They knocked this out of the ballpark.

Bought this on clearance while away on business for 3 weeks. It kept me busy most of the time tinkering around with it. I loaded up a custom rom with Android and had the watch tethering to my phone and squeezed everything I could out of it. Then I gave Tizen a run and at first it seemed dull and not many apps, but then I found out that if you changed your build.prop to look like a S5 phone, you could see hundreds of apps on Samsungs store. I eventually settled for more practical apps that help me stay organized during the day. The best feature though is probably the capability to answer calls right on the watch. This was handy in my rental car that didn't have bluetooth. Also in my car at home with sync I could change songs and start apps on my phone. You could also reply with S-Voice to SMS/MMS text messages. That's about it. Oh and the battery life on Tizen is outstanding. Once I reset the device in recovery I then could easily go 3 days and still have almost 50% at the end of day 3. Not too bad. Chris

synced with my phone in a snap, read texts, caller I.D. without taking out my phone. my favorite function is the remote media controller. only real complaint is battery life. if i turn off the auto on function it can last over 2 days. with the auto on function turned on, i'm lucky to get a full days use on a charge. over all i think it's a good device, just not worth the $300 price tag.

The only thing keeping this from a 5th star is the speaker for phone calls, it can be hard to hear depending on background noise. I haven't had any complaints about people not being able to hear me. I really like the pedometer function so that I can count my steps which is useful since I want to lose weight.

In general this is a great product. Set up was a little confusing and couldn't contact Samsung (dead link on their help line). I finally got it set up and it has been working fine ever since. The S-voice is a nice feature. My battery life is a little over a day so similar to the average smart phone. The screen resolution is great so it is easy to read emails and text messages. The camera takes decent photos witch can be displayed on the watch and uploads to your phone automatically. There are not a ton of apps yet. There are rumors circulating around that the next generation will be a stand alone that accepts a sim card.

Best gadget I have ever had. I can leave my phone in my pocket or purse and answer phone calls, read and answer text messages, read email. The watch is fashionable, Color touch screen. I have the rose gold color one and want to purchase another color but I am going to wait until the new one is on the market. I LOVE THIS SMART WATCH. I almost forgot I can also get my calendar for the day with reminders on this watch. This is truly a Smart Watch. I hope the next one has a longer range so when I am a work I can leave myphone in the office and still be able to just uutilize the watch.

I like the Watch/phone. I've gotten lots of compliments on the style of the watch too. Some don't realize it's a phone. It needs more apps. AND more importantly, it needs a watch band that is large enough to fit a larger wrist. My husband cannot fit into the band...he really wants one

This device is great...no more chasing to find my phone, and the ability to answer the phone from anywhere in the house is a godsend. It is also stylish, and the changeable watch faces match any environment. I don't leave home without.
