Design And Features SamSung Gear S

SamSung gear S

Big in all areas: design, features and, unfortunately, price Samsung really wasn’t keen to go with the crowd with its smart-watches. The gear S doesn’t use the popular Android-based Wear software, but Samsung’s own Tizen one. its style is a bit different.

Which brings us to the style of the watch itself, which is a bit of a sci-fi-tinged eyeopener. With a giant watch face and curved glass layer atop a sharp, vivid Super AMOLED display, it’s not even trying to pose as a normal watch. it’s a big, attention-grabbing gadget of the future.

Don’t want a wrist-dominator? Walk away now. however, if you can stomach this and the price, the gear S is one of the more complete feeling watches you can buy. you see, it’s less reliant on a phone for its features, and even has a Sim slot in the back to let the watch get its own mobile data source. it really can stand on its own to an extent, where Android Wear watches can’t.

 

In true Samsung fashion, the gear S also has more sensors than you’ll know what to do with. As well as monitoring your jogs with GPS, counting your steps with an accelerometer checking your heart rate while you’re exercising, there’s even a UV sensor to tell you whether you need to slap on some sunscreen. Overkill? Probably.

For all its advanced elements, though, the gear S can feel limited. it’ll only hook up with certain Samsung phones, still needed for notifications and the like, and is unlikely to get anywhere near as much app attention as rivals in the future. Samsung may think Tizen watches are the way forward, but we’re not sure anyone else is convinced.

The battery life is better than some other colour watches at around a day and a half, but still annoyingly short. if the Samsung gear S was the same price as the competition, it’d be much easier to recommend. But at almost twice the price, it’s a tough sell.
