[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
Nope never used it before.. But you arent getting your gear wet when Applying it. You just make a paper towel wet with the stuff and start rubbing your Gear in with the solution . Then wipe it off with a dry cloth and tadaa you Gear in nano coated...

Will make a video when I find myself having the time.

The reason I bought this was i was paranoid too when I went to the toilet and needed to wash my hands. Now that is all gone...

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 95SKY:
I agree, I'm really happy with my device, within the first 20 minutes of pairing it to my Note 3 I received a call while I was dressing my son and what do you know my wrist starts ringing and i took a call hands free, my note was on the kitchen bench in the other room. I didnt need to hold my wrist up to my mouth and I could hear clearly and likewise to the person on my call. I look at emails/text messages while in meetings, this feature is really handy, I dont feel as rude by looking at my watch, with one tap of the screen I can read a message. Battery life is good, I can get 2-3 days with moderate usage no problems. At the end of the day $360 for a watch that pairs with my phone is a good deal, considering how much you would pay for a half decent watch. This is something I will stick to now and in the future, for my watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] morbeious:
$300 for the Gear is fine..The watch design itself is worth the $300, think about a Rolex, or other expensive watches which cost $1000+. The Gear looks just as good as the expensive watches, plus you can do more with the Gear... Much Much more.

Reviews are like Arsewholes, everyone does one, and all of them stink!! Think for yourself, if you don't like it you can always return it..

GEAR UNLEASHED!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
I think the main reasons for the bad reviews are the price and that it only (officially) works with the Note 3, for now.

The price doesn't bother me as much since I got Best Buy to match that 30% coupon deal. But considering about a year ago, I spent $170 on a Casio G-Shock that does nothing more than tell me the date, time, and tide tables. Big deal. Decent watches cost money, even $300 is on the lower end.

What I never understood was how these reviewers gush about the Pebble, which has zero appeal to me - and I'm a gadget freak too! The reviews frequently compare the Pebble to the Gear, which is silly because the Gear is on a whole other level! They all talk about how the Pebble has so many apps and the Gear is lacking... how long has the Gear been out, 3 weeks?? Apps will come, not at all worried about that.

I also have no idea what the reviews are talking about re: camera quality. It's like they read the 1.9 MP spec and immediately dismiss it as a crap camera. Photos looks great for what it is, I was actually amazed at how well they looked. My only complaint about the camera is that there is no official way to turn off the shutter sounds, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
I also love mine (had it for 5 days now).

I agree, that from a review perspective, the fact that it only works with the Note 3 is a negative. But, if you already own a Note 3, then that is a moot point.

I normally wear a watch anyway (Seiko chronograph), so the Gear is lighter, but a little bulkier. The face isn't bulkier, but the speaker clasp means that some of my business shirts don't easily cover the watch when the cuff buttons are done up. They easily slipped over the Seiko.

As for the software, I expect it to get better in terms of both notifications and what you can do from the watch (ie. more than just send an sms message using Svoice).

The ability to just load apks is good. I have a perfectly functional calculator, es explorer, guitar tuner and metronome that actually work well an are useful despite the small screen.

Comparing prices to regular watches is silly though. If you buy a good regular watch, it will pretty much hold its value, and in some cases increase in value over time.

The Gear will be worthless in 5 years time. And you'll be lucky to get half of your money back if you try to sell it in a years time (assuming the Gear 2 is out by then). If you are OK to pay $300 for it (as I was), fine. But, to try to justify the cost based on the cost of other more expensive watches just doesn't make sense. The Gear is a gadget that rapidly decreases in value. Good watches are more like pieces of jewelry in whose values aren't affected by advances in technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
Good point about the prices on watches. Then again, the most I ever spent on a watch was around $350 for a Swiss Army watch about 4 years ago and has since fallen out of style - I'd be lucky to get even $100 on ebay for it now, lol. I do get your point though.

I think most of us here understand that this, or any smartwatch will be obsolete within a year or two, three if we're lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kkkok8051:
nothing gonna change my love for you. you dont know how much i love you.

Galaxy Gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thorissr:
I completely agree with the OP and his sentiments in regards to all the bad reviews. I purchased my Gear on 10/18/13 and have totally fell in love with it. In its current state I have no regrets or buyer's remorse, because I only see a bright future for this type of technology. Kudos to Samsung for a well thought out device!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
I think there is a new type of advertising I call it negative advertising a website reviews a product but gives it a very bad review then praises the product that they would like to promote. A large amount of the early reviews were pro Apple and I think they are disturbed by Samsung's success.Then the ball was rolling and some of the other sites shall we say lacked a certain imagination and the scene was set.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
I just think they gave negative feedback prematurely just because it's samsung made
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
i own samsung. and i'm giving it a bad review. it's just not impressive. once again, idea is great, execution is terrible. have to wait at least one more generation for a decent product.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Leies:
i feel Gear is good . the watch is yours , i never believe in any review, try it before buy is the key . of course this gear maybe fit someone needs, but again, if you feel its good than it's good.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Do you even own a Gear? So what do they change in the next generation to make it "a decent product"?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
i had it, and then i returned it to the store. i can't justify spending 300 euros on unfinished product.

generation two should bring all the necessary functions that i mentioned in my previous posts already out of the box.

maps, timer, custom watch styles, full e/gmail browser, sms keyboard, web browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TheMostToys:
I agree with the OP.

I purchased the Gear just to play with it, but now it has changed the way I interact with my phone, I don't know that I will ever be able to go back.

It's important to note that while I am a gadget enthusiast (freak) I've worn analog watches my whole life (I just prefer the look of a nice analog watch over any digital watch I've ever tried.)

I was concerned that it would not be comfortable. But it turns out that it is in fact very comfortable (most of the time, can't even feel that it's there).

I was concerned about batter life. But as it turns out, even with heavy use, it makes it as long or longer than my phone. I do wish that it could be charged without the cradle.

I was concerned that it would be too slow. The responsiveness has actually impressed me, although I do feel the overall experience (swipe, swipe, swipe, ...) can be improved.

I was concerned about waterproof. Okay, I'm still concerned with waterproof (this is my #1 concern!)

I thought the built in speakerphone was a gimmick. But as it turns out, I LOVE having a speakerphone attached to my wrist (I don't need to hold a phone for a quick call.)

I thought the camera was a complete waste of time and space. While not the best camera in the world, it is in fact proving to be very handy for capturing candid (spur of the moment) shots and documenting everything I want to remember for later. So much more convenient than taking out phone, unlock, start camera, aim, shoot, close camera, power off, put back in pocket. Of course for anything where quality counts, I do still have the phone camera to rely on.

I thought that there would not be enough apps. Now that it is so easy to side load apps, that concern is gone. It will be a bonus when tethering works, but in my opinion it's not a requirement (given the small screen.)

In conclusion:

I am VERY happy with the Gear, especially as a first release.

Recommended improvements (short list):

1) Make it thinner (6mm would be great).

2) Make it waterproof (at least to 1 meter, of course deeper would be better) but NOT if it requires being thicker (thinner is more important than deeper.)

3) Longer battery would always be nice (but not at the expense of thinner). Give it a charging port or wireless charging!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
another recommendation is to make them more available in he middle east and offer more discounts even if temporary
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
Are you keeping the note 3 or is that going back aswell
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
note 3 is totally great, it's the gear that has the be polished.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
Do you except though you do seem to be the odd man out here as most do seem to be very happy with the gear myself included
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
Too expensive, I purchased $300 watches in the past that only told time.

Too limited in applications no problem, it did not take too long for people here to show us how to add even more Apps.

Battery life, two days my Note 3 is 30% and my Gear is 70%.

Oh sure there are things that I am not crazy about.

An always on screen be nice.

Got to do better with notifications "The Pebble does better". I come here everyday hoping for a solution.

Water is a concern, had not any issues yet. May try the nano coating solution.

Love it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
I don't understand the complaints about a lack of keyboard... It would be so tiny on the watch, almost impossible to use, which is probably why they omitted it. If you have the watch on, your phone is nearby - I don't find it unreasonable to take the phone out of my pocket if I need to type a long message.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] apprentice:
I have the Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2 to compare

I have had my GG for a couple of days now and still have the Sony SmartWatch 2. Which one is going on eBay?? The Sony. Because once you see them side by side, there's no contest.

There is a wow factor here. The screen on the GG is a vibrant, bright, high resolution AMOLED beauty! Everything flows nicely and works pretty much without a hitch. I am impressed with the apps included but I downloaded quite a few more, and then side loaded a handful of useful apps like QuikPic and a file manager and a couple of games. They all work just like they do on a phone. (no root reqd) The screen is super sensitive and accurate.

The camera isn't too bad at all, even in lowish light. I was actually suprised how much better it is than I expected. Video again is good for a quick shot.

It pairs instantly with the Note on each BT toggle, I have a good range of clock faces (or create your own), S-Voice works pretty good and finally making/receiving calls is flawless. I actually mimick holding a phone to my ear and it then looks completely natural as I use the watch to speak. I wouldn't use that feature on a long call but it's handy on the short ones.

My only gripe is that there are no map apps out there... yet. But there seems to be some healthy development for the device. I also worry what happens if the strap needs replacing and there are 'maybe' issues with it not being waterproof. I worry that the screen and casing may damage easily but that goes for the SW2 also.

Comparing it to the SW2, I think the build quality is far greater, the screen is way better, interaction is smoother and more logical and you have those camera and calling features!

It cost me £250 but I have seen watches for more - that do less and frankly look dull. So I am happy with that. OK It only works witrh a couple of devices, I am on a 2 yr contract with the Note 3 and VERY happy with that phone so that's not an issue either. By then another incarnation will be available I am sure.

So I believe you really need to see these 2 side by side to really assess which you prefer but for me the GG wins by a clear mile.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
^ thanks thats interesting to note, so gg justified its price over sony's?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] apprentice:
I think the price is somewhat inflated (at least in the UK and Europe) but I personally think you are getting a lot more for your money so my answer would be yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
we had phones with screen same as gear for many years. there are few T9 styled keyboards out there, and they really do work good on small display. i'm not going to write an essay, but i would love just to say few words through whatsapp or sms. completly doable, completly optional (noone forces you to type on it), but for gods sake it's just not possible! this is why this is a beta product.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cfchong:
thoroughly agreed with you on the look and feel of gear over sw2. it is definitely a class above.

and sw2 does not have a mic nor a speaker. it can only vibrate.

however, as the objective of my companion watch is to provide notifications and not to replace the phone, my sw2 is still my daily wear due to the number of smart extensions available that have cater to almost all my needs (short of a wechat smart extension).

oh...and also because i can exercise and shower with it.

i am keeping my gear for development and testing fun at the moment until more software are been rolled out.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ravyjr:
That is just reviews my friend so pay no mind to what media has to say personal experience is the best cure for loud mouth people (not to sound rude). For know the note 3 is just a dream but will get in near future

Hi.

I recently replaced my broken screen. I manipulated everything gently with proper tools. But i noticed when i was putting back the front camera module it splitted into 2 parts..

See the image attached, the arrow show where it splitted.

Since then front camera doesnt works and makes my camera apps FC.

Any idea or should i just buy a new module ?

Thanks

I have tried holding down the power button while the device is plugged in, holding the n and power button down, using another charger, but nothing seems to work.

How can I troubleshoot this?
