Design

Samsung Smart Watches were originally created exclusively for the Note series smartphones, so the box is styled as the packaging of the phone itself - this is a cardboard under the "tree". Inside you can find instructions, directly watches, charging, which consists of a cable and power supply.

The materials used to create a smart watch Samsung - plastic and metal. The protective glass is slightly convex, there is a charging connector on the back and a stamping with the name of the company. In addition, the model has microphone holes and speakers.The physical button is responsible for turning on / off the screen.

The device is designed in such a way that the metal case smoothly merges with a non-removable strap. The mount is also made of metal, possibly adjustable for any hand. The device belt is made of antiallergic materialtherefore, even in summer, sensations on the skin are comfortable, and no irritation from wearing occurs. The camera rises a little above the surface, but the appearance of this does not deteriorate, as well as the sensation of wearing.

Thanks the presence of a gyroscope a wave of your hand activates the screen. The sensor is very sensitive and responds quickly to touch.

Camera features

The camera clock of Samsung Gear is not distinguished by high resolution, and at least it’s not logical to compare it with a smartphone camera. It is designed to quickly capture an interesting moment, but taking pictures as a souvenir does not work out that way. Similar cameras are placed for video calling in smartphones. In addition to the photo resolution of 1392 * 1392 pixels, the camera can record a fifteen-second video.

Important! Recording photos and videos is carried out in the memory of the clock, so you should not get carried away with this activity, because the device must store applications in addition to user data. If the memory is full, the photo just will not be saved and will be deleted.

Through the corporate application you can set different useful programs, for example, for jogging, notebook and others.

Also in the Samsung Smart Watch there is proprietary technology S Voicevoice assistant He will find information on the Internet, help to type a message or open a number in the phone book. Processing information will take a little time, but in general everything works fine.

Samsung Watch is smart electronics, which means that there are all the features of modern digital technology. One of them is gesture support:

• if you wave your hand from bottom to top in the first menu, the camera will open;
• similar movement on the second menu returns the user to the initial screen;
• Photos can be flipped through with gestures from right to left and vice versa.

Conclusion

All reviews Samsung Gear agree that the model was interesting, both from a visual point of view and in function. The device is able to do everything necessary for smart watches, it works well. The quality of materials and assembly at the highest level, however, like all devices of the company. Among the minuses is the inability to connect the watch to the phones of other brands and even many models of the Korean company itself.

For fans of the company and owners of Note, this price is not surprising, but many third-party watches with similar functionality are somewhat cheaper.
