Beautiful display. Doubles as an activity tracker. Heart-rate monitor. Works with standard watchbands.
Pricey. Compatible with Samsung devices only. Lacks apps. Camera is mostly superfluous
The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch is a vast improvement over the original, but it's still too expensive and limited to appeal to most users....

The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch delivers an improved design, better notifications, a heart rate monitor, and basic fitness tracking offer a lot of extras. It's water-resistant, too
Limited number of apps, poor S-Health fitness app syncing, can only be paired to Samsung phones, camera is an unnecessary extra for the $100 it costs over the Gear 2 Neo

Longer battery life, New heart rate monitor and IR blaster, Improved design
Very few apps, Some software features feel superficial
The Gear 2 is generally a solid improvement over the original, with a nicer design and longer battery life. Even so, it doesn't perform well enough to fully justify the $300 asking price....
