Smart or stupendous? Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch




Currently, Samsung is one of Apple’s main competitors as they have kept up-to-date with modern and innovative technology, speedily generating new ideas and products that aim to fulfill customers’ needs and wants. More recently, Samsung have introduced the new Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch which is a similar but improved version of Sony’s Smartwatch. However, some customers are still not convinced by this new product.

Being marketed as “a companion device that will always keep us connected”, the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch offers customers many benefits, but the question is, has the gadget been well received? Along with many other features, the Smartwatch offers customization and several watch face options to choose from. It has a 1.9 megapixel camera and is excellent for capturing fleeting moments –both photos and videos. Additionally, it has the ability to do most things a phone can do such as display messages, emails and make phone calls.  While reading about the Smartwatch I was more interested in what customers thought about this innovative product. Although, many consumers seemed excited by the launch of the new Smartwatch launch, some were hesitant. Some of the very mixed reviews were as follows:

“As I set my eyes on the device, my enthusiasm dropped a little. I found the device to be chunky and heavy in weight. The watch has a clasp and a flexible band, which can be adjusted according to the size of your wrist, but wearing it was not comfortable. I felt a giant load on my wrist, something that I was not expecting. A Smartwatch should not make you feel handcuffed; rather it should give you an immediate access to time, convenience and freedom”.

“The device is ugly, pricey but very convenient”.


“The devices battery does not last very long and it is very bulky and masculine looking".
