Excellent but needs a few minor changes

I really like this watch; it's comfortable to wear, looks good, and is a great platform to expand as more apps become available. The email notifications and ability to answer calls work great, and the camera is better than I expected. The battery life is not bad; I can get nearly 2 full days on it the way I use it.
A few areas Samsung could improve on:
1. Make it a bit more responsive; coming out of standby to read the time takes maybe 2 seconds; should be near instant.
2. The camera lens sticks out quite a bit from the band; it makes me nervous about scratching it.
3. More configuration options in the management app; it's a good start but there needs to be more there.

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Connected to a Note 2

The watch has the bells and whistles we expected and it will hopefully lead to creative ideas for further generations of the wearable device. The phone calls are clear and everyone has mentioned that they could not discern I was talking, while driving, through my watch (I did have the watch hand on the wheel BTW). The camera is a nice feature but does open the door for creepy shots, though the sound for the capture cannot easily be disabled. The S voice function is incredible and helps keep the phone in the pocket for those simple tasks.
Having said all this, I have it paired to my Note 2. If you side-load the app for Galaxy gear you get access without any extra labor. This will give you access, however, some of the functions are limited or do not function but the calls, camera, contacts, and many other things operate fully.
If you are the root type and have the right model there is a ROM that delivers 4.3 to the Note 2 allowing for access now! Do this at your own peril as no one will replace your phone if you brick it!
The device is great and I cannot wait to see where programmers make their mark by a truly inspired idea for an app or the engineer that makes the next big move in this smartphone world.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: cost was double where it should have been
I would recommend this to a friend!

Next level stuff...

Best accessory in the Galaxy lineup. Pairs magically with my Note 3 and gives a completely new level of usability. It's almost weird wearing a watch again after all these years, but this is something I can get used to.
Take pictures OR video with a flick of the finger and a "snap" of the tongue. With great quality and user setting, this is going to be a ton of fun. Customize your watch screen with a free app called Watch Styler. Turn your own face into the face of a watch.
Get text and email alerts, or take a call with a quick swipe of the screen. The functions and delivery are flawless with little to get used to. It's well designed and easy to use. This truly is some next level stuff.
Kudos Samsung... A job well done.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

I was kinda sad because there were not many apps or games and there was no WiFi to connect and that meant there were no internet connection :(
Then i looked up on internet how to root it and it became an awesone almost full phone in my hand!
I could connect to internet with the bluetooth with one of the many features the root included
I can now talk with people in skype take 60sec long vidos, acces internet youtube, facebook, instagram etc. i could change my wallpaper and change themes, download any android game i wanted from play store (Gear actually is pretty powerful) and they ran really good for such small device.
I wouldnt probably buy it as it is if your not going to root it if you do id absolutely recommend it to anybody!
Sory about my bad english i tried my best

Awesome SmarTech that is wearable

This is the perfect accessory for my Galaxy Note 3. The latest firmware update allows even more notifications and features which just means it gets better and better with Samsung support.
I can leave my phone my desk, and not worry about security, it locks automatically and the GG unlocks it when I get back. No more missed calls when I have the GG on which is important.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
