The Gear 2 acts in the color Gold / Brown not too bulky despite its size. It adapts well to my wife very narrow wrist due to the good adjustment. Despite plastic bracelet very very comfortable. Also the equipment of the Gear 2 goes mühehlos with one hand, thanks to the buckle closure. Even after three weeks of wearing I made it for the first time NO Macke to beat a clock. And yes, I am often struck - but the Gear seems to be robust finish, you see nothing. From design nothing to be desired for me - chic and sporty. In addition, other various bracelets can be purchased as well as the background image to be adjusted to the outfit (probably more for the women ;-))
- - - - - - - - - - - My favorite features - - - - - - - - - - - -
1.)
Notifications (SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, emails, etc. can be selected all) are displayed directly on the Gear. In SMS you can even respond directly via the Gear 2. Either by phone, Smiley's or stored short answers. A few have already saved as "YES", "OK", "No" - but you can configure any text on the smartphone. So I can in the car short and quick answer without that I had to rummage in the car in my giant bag for my phone.
Also calls can be accepted and executed.
2.)
Camera with 2 megapixels - This is enough for snapshots - in many situations you have your cell phone not so close at hand. Even pictures can be recorded. The camera can be fingerclick or by voice with "click" or be released "Say Cheese". The images are transmitted directly by the way and directly via Bluetooth to your mobile.
3.)
WatchONRemote - Yes and even a remote for the TV! The Gear 2 has the LG TV immediately recognized and the basic function such as Program-change, volume, mute can now be operated. Quite nice, if the remote control is playing hide under the pillow again - or the partner does not want to switch partou ....
4.)
MP3 players - music can be streamed from mobile problemplos the Gear 2 via BT. To do sports, I can now hear the music thereon - without that I must have the phone with them. However, a BT headset needs to be bought separately.

These include the Schritzähler and the heart rate monitor.
The pedometer is a little inaccurate. If you waving too much with the arm - he also counts this as a step.
However, the heart rate monitor seems to work well and fairly accurate.

Sleep feature:
quite nice, here is recorded, how long you slept (start and stop itself to use) and what percentage they were motionless. I lie motionless loud Gear 2 ca 94% ......
Since I am left wondering what I always place in the remaining 6% with my hair ???
Device Search:
The Gear 2 can search the paired mobile phone and vice versa. This will ring loud and you can track it.
Calendar / Contacts:
All data are at the beginning with the phone via BT Resynchronizes.
Dust - and waterproof to IP67 it is supposed to be - that's good to know - but an endurance test I have not yet undergone. ;)
With stopwatch, timer, memo, the Weather Gear 2 may also serve.
Oh yes - a clock the Gear 2 is Dia also ;-)

Yes, the Gear 2 needs to be charged as a smartphone. But not quite as often. This happens unstucked and with enclosed charger and is also relatively fixed. My Gear keeps a good 3 Days - charging about 2 hours.

As I said at the beginning - are the nearly 300 euros a steep price. Why did I even pulled off a star.
For a normal clock I personally would not spend so much money. But quite a lot here more are provided.
I want the many features but no longer do without.
It's a great complement to the smartphone and make easy operation in some situations very - I am thinking for example of driving a car..
