Quick Start Guide

Q: Will the current Samsung Gear be compatible with S4?

A: I have heard and read that the S4, along with most other samsung mobile devices (S3, Note 2, Tab etc.) will be receiving an update by December making the compatible with Gear.

Q: Is this watch water resistant?

A: Rain and splash like ok, showers are not recommended but might work. Swimming or other no way! This is based on their rating think it was ip55. Reviews say shower might be ok but I wouldn't even try that.

Q: what does only capatable with galaxy note 3 mean

A: The word is compatible. It means you need the "Note 3" in order for this product to work. Soon the S3 and S4 will work with this too. Rumor has it the next Gear Watch will work with many phones.

Q: zulu time?

A: Yes it can do all those thing and would be very useful to pilots

Q: can it be used alone without a phone

A: The Gear relies on a bluetooth connection to your phone for message/call notifications. If the Gear moves out of range from your device, you will lose any ability to recieve notifications until you are back in range. It will still function as a watch, camera, and several apps that don't require notification delivery.

Q: Is it water resistant or waterproof?

A: The Gear is not water resistant. It is IP55 rated which technically states it can withstand short exposure to a water jet. In another words, it can withstand a splash/ rain drops. No showers, washing hands with it. It does not get hot. Adding a camera flash would add additional bulk to the device.

Q: Is this compatible with the Note 4

A: Yes it is. The only function it will not do is the Cortana feature. Yes this product is android, iPhone, and windows compatible.

Q: Can you view and respond to text messages?

A: Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart Watch connects to your compatible phone via bluetooth, it allows you to read texts, as well as compose and send messages via voice command.

They also find the pedometer feature useful and enjoy the stylish design. However, concerns are raised about the short battery life, the relatively high price, and the limited number of apps available. Additionally, some customers have expressed disappointment that the watch is only compatible with Samsung phones and lacks water resistance.

To be a Deaf person, this product is AWESOME
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.
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.
