    Great for Tech Lovers

    Not quite ready for the average user but if you love tech and can work your way through the issues of new technology this is the watch for you. Having read about all the Android Wear devices out at this time I chose this one because it had better compatibility particularly with Sleep As Android. This allows me to monitor my night in detail as I have a sleep problem. Still a little shy on apps but they are coming, both good and bad. Solid build quality but short battery life. Have to recharge every day, sometimes more often.

    By far the best smart-watch out there to date! So simple, so clean. Best battery life of ANY Android Wear yet!

    Great Looking and Smooth Device

    I returned the Samsung Gear Neo for this. The Gear Live has a better smoother OS compared to the Neo. The biggest issue I have is the battery life. The cards that pop up are very seamless from the OS and are straight from the phone. Only issue with the cards so far is the email. If more then one email, it shows them all, but no option to see each one. Great product and improvement from the Gear Neo

    Doing the job so far!

    At my desk at work, I now know when I have a call that I need to be aware of, like family, or doctor to be calling, I don't miss it. Frequently in my car, I don't hear my phone over the radio, and now I get the little vibration to the wrist and can see who is calling. I can then send a quick text by voice right from the watch just to say I'll call whoever back. All in all, pretty sweet.

    The charging cradle is a total mess

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I own this watches for a less than a year and I have to buy the charging cradle for the second time. BestBuy costumer support refereed me to call Samsung directly and after half an hour waiting on a phone instead just shipping me the cradle they suggested to stop at their service location.

    When charger breaks their is no replacement. Now I have a watch and have to use a big bag clip to charge it.

    Lack of features

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Go ahead and spend the extra $100 on the gear 2... There are no features on this watch that made me want to keep it. Can not change clock, can not see incoming messages on watch. You can see that you have a message but have to go to phone to see everything..
