Can you go for a run with the galaxy gear smart watch and leave galaxy note 3 home?
I like to use runtastic but feel the note 3 is to large to exercise with. I think the smart watch would be a great purchase if it will still track my workout without physically having the note 3 on my run. Is that possible?
The Samsung gear (watch) is connected to the Note 3 via Bluetooth so it must be within 30 to 50 feet to connect to the Note 3. However, the gear does have apps / features for runners built into it. I do use the step counter and calorie burn counter on it. It will track that without the phone being near it. So it very well may do what you want. I do use my gear daily and am very happy with it. You do have 15 days to return it to Best Buy if it does not meet your needs. So buy it and try it. You have nothing to loose! If it doesn't do what you want return it, but I think you will love the watch. I also own the note 3 so I understand your concern on size. It is a bit large but I think you can get an arm band that will fit the note 3 as well. Then use it as your health tracker as well as your music player. Which the watch will do as well, though the speaker on the watch isn't as good as using a set of earbuds with the note 3.
