Are you looking for a smart watch that is more than just fashion gear?
Samsung launched Galaxy Gear last year but it failed to impress users due to too many complaints. This is why Samsung came up with an improved model with the Gear 2. Here, we will take a look at the details and analyze if this product is a good choice for you.
Appearance and Design
The Galaxy Gear 2 has been revamped a great deal. You have the option of changing the straps, which was absent in the earlier mode. This adds a layer of flexibility, in terms of design. It also comes with an infrared blaster, which gives you the privilege to control your TV and even your set top box from your smart watch itself.
However, you will definitely need to have a compatible Samsung mobile to use this smart watch to the fullest.
The List of Features
Gear 2 has brought in some really smart and impressive specifications and we will explore the same here.
The Fitness Tools
If you want to stay fit and healthy, this smart watch will offer you some really useful apps to stay so. You have a pedometer and heart monitor that will allow you to track your fitness goals and measure your heart health. It also comes with an exercise tracking facility that will allow you to count your calories, check the miles walked and so on.
Better Handling
The Gear 2 has an IP67 certification, which is a proof that the watch will be able to handle dust, dirt and even water. If you have a hard time taking extra care of your gadget, it is better to buy one that comes with IP 67 rating and so this model is definitely a good choice.
Camera Details
The camera is present above the screen and has a 2 MP lens. You can shoot pictures with different aspect ratios, including 16:9, 1:1 and 4:3.. You can also use the voice recognition feature to turn the camera on. Different types of voice commands have been incorporated to make it easier for people to use the camera incorporated in their smart watch.
The Core Technical Data
This watch has a dual core 1 GHz processor and it is better than the single core offered by Gear. Further, it has a 1.63 inched super AMOLED screen. There are different types of apps that you can use along with the smart watch.
The Cost Factor
The watch starts with the price of $295, which is rather expensive for a watch that comes with somewhat basic features. The fact that you can only use it with selective Samsung mobiles further increases the total cost which makes it tough for people to come to the final decision.
If you have money to spare, and you have a fetish for gears and gadgets, you should go ahead and buy the watch as it is definitely appealing and will rev up your style quotient significantly.
