For those who still crack (probably more men than women for the size of the beast), the watch will be released in France and in 148 other countries September 25, the price 299 dollars (we do not yet know the price in euros). It will be available in six colors bracelets . White, yellow, black, chocolate, orange and white with a copper facade (instead of brushed aluminum)
Galaxy Gear has all the functionality of a multifunction watch (time, stopwatch, time …). It is equipped with a camera to take pictures and videos up to 10 seconds. Associated with a Bluetooth smartphone , it is complementary: we can for example access Address and the calendar , launch and receive calls see its notifications (emails, SMS, calls …), dictate messages, initiate MP3 player . It is also equipped with a pedometer to measure physical activity. 70 applications will be available to watch the launch (including eBay, Evernote, Runkeeper, ChatOn, Path), but the watch itself, only 10 applications can “hold.” If you want to use more, they must be “turn”. To navigate the menus, simply drag a finger on the touch screen. One button to return to the home screen and activate voice S-Voice control.
But what’s the point?
Finally, the Galaxy Gear therefore nothing a smartphone would not, it is only one more gadget. The phone function is somewhat limited, because to use the microphone on the outside, it will approach his wrist on his face. Beyond the appearance James Bond, one wonders what it brings more than having the phone to your ear. Same for the MP3 player, the existing remotes are already the case. As for photo and video functions with respect to the quality smartphone and opportunities are less.
We still found some situations in which the Galaxy Gear can be really useful: Your boss has forbidden you to take out your smartphone meeting to stay focused? Still see your notifications. Or: avoid getting stolen smartphone in the subway while accessing some of its features and applications. Or, take videos live as raising everyone’s arm in the air, but the rot for everyone with a smartphone. Last but not least: easily find lost his ride in the apartment because it beeps when asked to do so by using the control panel of the smartphone

It is not compatible with many devices
Galaxy Gear is compatible with the 4.3 version of Android , and only with Samsung devices. Therefore, as a first step it should only holders Galaxy Note 3 . Other devices become compatible with the updated operating system.
It does not do much more than its competitors, and it is more expensive
must do justice to the poor Smartwatch 2 Sony announced in June and is available from this month. Apart from the camera and the non-existent camera, Sony, watch the Japanese is connected with more or less the same features as the Galaxy Gear. Compatible with more devices (from Android 4.0), it costs $ 100 less. Pebble Even at $ 150, has equivalent capabilities and in addition it is also compatible with the iPhone, if you would change OS change en route. Note nevertheless, the definition of screen and Pebble Smartwatch 2 is less than the Galaxy Gear (320×320).
Autonomy low
autonomy 24 hours only shows the Samsung requires charging every day. It is a further constraint. The Smartwatch 2 Sony promises 3-4 days of battery life, and Pebble about a week.
It is not enough “intelligent”
“Smartwatch” as “smartphone” watches and so-called “smart” phones. But in the end, the Galaxy Gear as its current competitors are not so clever as that, they do not have interest only in themselves. They still lack that little something that would make them an essential item. The future will iWatch Does that will change the situation?

@ l-old: The purchase of this stuff is not mandatory. Freedom is respected. It does not bother me if the user is stupid enough to expose himself to danger. Everyone must assume his actions. WiFi, GSM is more insidious because their waters bathe the people they can not do anything. Bluetooth has a range of less than one meter.

perfectly useless except suckers strapped gadget
I’m a “geek” I do not see the value of such a gadget. Nothing beats a beautiful traditional watch … or not watch at all.
not crack difficult it still seems a good product. It goes in the right direction. But publishers will continue to lose principalemnt other readers … what should we do our “legendary magazine”
cherished liberty, mobile smartphone was an attack on our dear freedom, but …. with their photos, movies put on tweeter or buttock goat … Here we go to the absurd anything, our hand can shoot what she wants most deeply and then ship the package with a finger, beautiful “example” of the invasion of privacy .. Immaginez havoc a smartwatch with a quality newspaper “express”. The “Smart ..” Will it stop or …
“-the former”
But, of course, nobody is concerned about the effect of the waves emitted continuously by bluetooth … Nobody wants to relay antenna near his home but continues to produce the stuff that makes them indispensable. Internet, all materials together, consumes more than the entire aviation ie billions of tons of oil equivalent:. Equivalent of 30 nuclear power plants was said in 2012
