Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch - Review

Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch

Samsung has released the sequel of Gear to the market with irresistible features. It comes with slimmer design, a 1.63 inch Super AMOLED display, a 2MP camera and features on fitness niche. The new design is much sleeker than its predecessor, Galaxy Gear. The weight is 68g, slightly lighter than the original Gear which is 75g. But with a small change it does bring impact to the overall appearance.

Folks will agree that it has slimmer physic on the wrist. Of course it looks better and less bulky compared to former versions. This is of course because Samsung has paid a lot of attention to the most futuristic design possible by moving the camera sensor from the strap to above the display.

Coming with textured rubber material, Samsung Gear 2 is better than its predecessor in most aspects. Folks can agree with this and conclude it is better just by looking at the design for a glance.

You perhaps remember about some critics from fanatics which stated about the brutal looks in the Samsung’s predecessor smartwatch. Fortunately, you will not see any single brutality anymore in this version. Instead, the metal watch face promotes a new delight home button under the screen. Realize it or not, this change makes the device friendlier to operate.

Another nice feature that I can add in this post is the Gear 2 is resistant to dust and water. And so it answers your question how if you need to monitor your activities in nearly extreme condition. Also the heart rate monitor built into the rear of the device, which obviously realizes the most important aspect in monitoring human physical conditions.

Samsung Gear 2 comes with 3 colors choice: Wild Orange, Gold Brown, and Charcoal Black. Well I personally like Charcoal Black since it is unsaturated in my opinion. However, the other color strap options also do wonder in both appearance and prestige.


No matter what, Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch is adorable, user-friendly and unobtrusive. Wearing this device while you are on hard activities will not burden you at all. Gear 2 is something cool to have. The fitness ability in the shape of pedometer and a heart rate monitor can be good reason to purchase the item. But there are other exercises you can track such as run, walk, hike, or cycle. If you are one of those who have the activities, purchasing Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch is worth the money.

Specifications: 1.63in 320x320 resolution with Super AMOLED display, it has a 1GHz CPU that is helped by 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory storage. The 2MP camera with auto focus plus a Bluetooth 4.0, accelerometer, and the Tizen OS makes this smartwatch a must have gadget for many people.
