The Gear SmartWatch is available for use by Bluetoot, connected to the smartphone h. Currently it is compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 (Edition 2014) further devices will follow in the coming months. So ring my grade 3, I see on the clock who is calling me and I have the opportunity to answer the call via speaker. Besides, I can read SMS messages that I receive. And quite banal they may also be used as a clock; o), there are different design variants for displaying the time to choose.
The first coupling to the cell phone was not so easy, it is not really intuitive and if you do not remove the bracelet the clock, it's hard to get the phone back to back to the unit. Eventually we went.
Basically, I find the Gear is somewhat large and heavy for a woman's arm, a women's version would be great.
When calling the sound not 100% is great, a little tinny, both for the caller and for the speaker. The clock should be kept 25-40 cm away from the mouth to make phone calls so you can that you are understood.
The display of the clock is also a touch screen that works great. It wipes between the address and the functions back and forth. The response time is great, there was not the problem that my Wipe was not recognized. Really a nice tool especially if you travel a lot, because you can easily take calls or just watch sometimes quickly whether the SMS has to be answered promptly, or if I can leave the smartphone only once in his pocket and respond later.
