Smartwatch: Samsung Gear S (SM-R750) Review

Time passes unnoticeable! I have been using the Samsung Gear S which is my first smartwatch for nearly a year now. I am using it everyday so far I have not encountered any problem with this smartwatch.


As for the battery it usually able to last for at least one and a half days before I recharge it. My usage is mainly using the Gear S while on the go to receive notifications for my Gmail, WhatsApp messages, SMS messages, alarm clock, weather updates and alert me as reminder for my daily schedules, etc. I seldom use the Gear S 3G feature to make phone calls even though I have put in a SIM card. However, if I am driving a car I will use the Gear S to receive phone calls and it is indeed very convenient to talk while driving a car.  May be because I seldom use the Gear S call features my battery sometimes able to last almost 2 days.



When talk about battery the Gear S has one advantage over other smartwatch is its Charging Cradle which has a built-in 350mAh battery which mean you may double your usage in term of duration for another day. Because the built in battery inside the Gear S is 300mAh thus you have a total of 650mAh.

 
 
 
So far in my almost one year experience wearing the Samsung Gear S smartwatch which runs on the Tizen based operating system is very stable.  However, there is drawback of using the Tizen based operating system as compared to Android Wear is limited Apps to download or for purchase and the choice for watch faces are limited which I don't like it. The Android Wear has more Apps and more watch faces to choice.

The Gear S is 2.0" Curved Super AMOLED (360 x 480), with this display and size I find it very easy to input texts when replying messages from Gmail, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.

 

Note:

The above are just my sharing of personal experience on the usage of Samsung Gear S smartwatch and without any advertising intention.

I hope you will find the above info useful and thank you for reading my blog.
