already wearing watches. Their primary function, checking the time, almost entirely taken over by the cell. And as a spot on the body, it is after all, one can quickly take care of something. For example, the SmartWatch – intelligent (supposedly) watch.
only do we need another smart gadget that and smarter than a smartphone there will not be, because of the nature must have greatly limited? Samsung Galaxy Gear does not even attempt to outdo the phone, and it is rather its extension, an additional screen of the camera.

At first glance, the Galaxy Gear is not very nice. Of course I understand the requirements of functionality, but in the end watch many treat as a kind jewelry. Aesthetes will have to grit your teeth – Gear is angular and stiff, sticking on the wrist rather than the lies. It’s understandable if you look at the construction of the watch.
the bar is the camera lens, and the watch must be large enough to comfortably as could operate the touch screen. In our pictures watch is, however, an extra plate underneath – it’s anti-theft system used at the fair. In fact, so it thinner.
What can make the Samsung Galaxy Gear? Itself – not much. You can take pictures and videos, you can use it as a step counter, use part of the functions of the application. But really, the device comes into its own when it is connected to the phone. You can then receive calls through to him – it looks like a hybrid of the old science fiction movie of James Bond, because somehow still in our culture to speak to the watch is not seen as normal behavior. The problem may be too weak speaker impede conversation in noisy places.
Another function is to control the phone. Using gear can give commands in the system S Voice, you can also control media playback. A feature that is sure to be useful is to find the device. Each unless it happens to drop your phone somewhere – in this case we can start using the watch alarm indicating the position of destruction. This also works the other way – the phone can help you find the watch.
camera works surprisingly well – of course, in the category of very small aparacików placed in strange devices. Although the movie may have only 10 seconds, but in the end it is a watch, not a camera.

problem, however, may interface. My answer was quite carefully copied from the iPod nano 6G – in both cases there is the same imperfection on the screen we see only one icon, it is not clear where in the menu are. In addition, there are tiny buttons with which it is not easy to hit with your finger. Most of the navigation is done by sliding your finger left or right and select icons. Of course you can get used to, but the service the system requires time to focus, and frankly I think he’d do it faster by using your phone – even if you take into account the time of taking it out of your pocket, unlock and retract back.

Galaxy Gear has a square screen with a diameter of 1.63 inches, made with Super AMOLED. Its resolution is 320 by 320 pixels. The device uses the Exynos processor with 800 MHz clock. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth. The manufacturer declares that the battery lasts the entire day of action, but it certainly applies to economic use. Most of the test product after about 3-4 hours began slowly deplete the battery. Galaxy Gear is water resistant – in accordance with the standard should stand for half an hour immersion to a depth of a meter.
Samsung Galaxy Gear will definitely start a fashion for SmartWatch (clever watches’). For now, however, the problem is the price ($ 299), which in combination with the limited possibilities makes the watch is rather interesting. Probably (as is common in Samsungu) and so had a great sale, but I do think, however, wait for the second version, which probably will have improved interface, and (hopefully) battery life.
