Samsung Gear S review | Android Central. I have been reading the Gear S reviews, and they are all over the ballpark. I suppose this is as to be expected, since the device creates a whole new category of wearable. I have lived with mine for a week, and, in my opinion, it is quite useful. It is a big thing; and, you better be secure in your geekiness to wear it in public. However, it is cool beyond belief, and it does everything you might ask it to. It is far more than a smartphone accessory, although it performs that task admirably. You can do anything on it that you can do on a smartphone; of course, the small screen makes some tasks, like typing on a tiny keyboard or browsing the web, much more efficient on the phone. But, if you want slick, competent tech on your wrist, and you have a leading edge mentality, and you appreciate the benefits of being able to know everything that is going on by glancing at your wrist, this is the watch for you.
