Awesome unboxing/review. You've quickly become one of my favorite tech RUclipsr's along with Marques. Too bad the Gear only works with Galaxy devices. I wouldn't mind shelling out the money for a Gear Fit or Gear 2. Keep up the good work! Also cute dogs! And a lovely home you have. :)
Finally a vid where u explain the unboxing as u open it and don't have u watching screen pics and not downing the product I subscribed half way threw the vid
I have bought both the gear 2 and apple watch. I would definitely recommend the apple watch. The gear is laggy and has limited features compared to the apple watch. For example, the glances, O2 sat capabilities, and Siri has more capabilities.
I know that this is an old comment. But the Gear 2 released a whole year before the apple watch. So yeah.. Apple had a lot of time to manufacture and design their watches.
You did such an awesome job on showing the Samsung Gear 2 Neo. I just bought mine and love it and you have made it so much easier to enjoy. Thank you again.
I would get the Gear Neo model just because it has the features I would look for and need and it's affordable. There will always be something better coming out sooner than later especially now after Google introduced their Android Wear line. Thanks a lot for an awesome review. This has made it much easier for me to decide what to get!
Great review as usual. I counsel 1000's of Airline people regarding tech subjects and use reviewers like you to fill me in. Gear 2 reviews thus far have been very weak, however yours has been one of the better ones. One big issue killing Gear 2 thus far is that millions of folks use Yahoo Android mail, Facebook, Whatsapp, Tango, Viber, and many other very popular email clients and apps. Please add to your review which ones of these actually work. If Sammy doesn't add these necessary functions soon, I will have to tell all my people to wait for Motorola and Google, and other watches. Many want this phone for the camera & phone call features, but must be able to use with the aforementioned apps. Thanks.
Great review. I just got a gear 2 today. So far I really enjoy it. Apple better hurry up and put something out or I might have to keep using samsung devices. I like this S5 pretty well I have to say.
would you be able to tell me if MMS messages play/ displays on the Smartwatch? if so Video / Gif format. would be interesting to know this, cannot see any information anywhere on MMS capability. Many thanks
I don't think I've seen a more thorough review of any device than I've seen here. This was an excellent analysis of the Gear 2 and most helpful. Thanks so much.
SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER! I am planning on getting a Gear 2 in two days, and I need to know if it is compatible with Android OS 4.3 because I am not interested in updating my Note 3 to 4.4.2.
WOW Best Gear 2 & Neo review I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for great review. very informative. I wonder why Samsung didn't include software keyboard and calculator app with Gears.
How can someone 30+mins into a review on an electronic device. Well this video is it, and was blown away. Question: How far can the watch operate away from the phone? Such as making calls, "Find My Device", and so forth. I also have to say wow, I thought on a watch you could do about 10 minutes at max if you talked slow, but this guy really did a great an outstanding review job. A+ brother! I live in a big house. If I was upstairs, could I "Find My Device" or "Make A Call" from upstairs while my phone was downstairs?
The best review BY FAR I have seen regarding these very new products. Great detail, easy to understand voice if a little rapid. I am purchasing the Gear 2 and am saving this to a new file to help me learn how to use it. Thank you for this.
It's funny seeing all the ignorant iPhone lover comments. Apple has done a good job and so has Samsung why can't we be friends and support our differences?
Another Samsung OS. How long will Tizen be supported by them. Befor they had Bada and that was the worst experience I ever had with a phone. The Wave 8500 itself was really nice, metal shell, good camera, great battery life, but the OS was just BS. I hope they do a better job this time, even though I don't want to get a Samsung phone after the "bada" experience.
Dear DetroitBORG, Thanks a lot for the five star comprehensive review, I have seen many reviews for Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, and Gear fit but nothing is to be compared to yours, You even beat the official review, Please keep that way (thumps up), Best regards, Saleh SHAKI
This thing is completely useless. I like how Samsung always rushes to put shit on the market so that Apple can learn from the negative feedback and make a really good device.
Jonas Horn apple learns from negative feedback to put out a better product...u fckn kidding me? when the apple watch launched, battery life was ~18 hrs with "regular use". not even one full day. the apple watch menus are a complete MESS too. you're such a fucking troll..
I love this phone...great review as per usual. How is it that you know all the in's and out's of these phones before you unbox them? I can only think you do a ton of research before you start your reviews? How do you get your hands on things like shell frames of up coming Apple stuff? Whenever someone asks me about the specs of my SG Note 3, I point them to your RUclips channel!
Thanks for this review, a excelent production and presentation. A question: Why Gear 2 Neo have not a camera ? if are Neo, that means new ou updated. Good video.
This guy bores the hell out of me. He is doing a good job at selling it - because I just bought one, however he needs to change his approach. I fell asleep at one point and had to start over. It can't be easy making a review for a product that does so much and still keep your audience entertained. Kudos to you mate.
Great review, it really shows off how much stuff these watches actually do. I have the original Gear watch and was thinking should I upgrade, I was pretty much deciding NO until I watched this review!
Hello! I've just bought the Gear 2 in Japan. Your Gear has a "Sleep" app as I watched your video,but My Gear 2(Japanese model)does not have it. What features does the "Sleep" app bring to us? Is it such a waking alarm? Would you tell me?
Hi great video! I was wondering if you are having trouble with the Neo? When I send text templates with the watch, it does not show on my phone after which leaves me to guessing what I said when I look on my phone later.
Thank you , I had this gear 2 watch since the introduction . And I have not been aware of these moves and gestures not even 30 percent ,hahaha . How did you manage to grasp them ?
If you're using wired headphones to listen to music can you control the music with your watch? I know only one Bluetooth can be paired at a time so therefore using regular headphones. I don't know if I saw the demonstration correctly or not but can you access your playlist that's on your phone to your watch?
One question: what is the practical function with the Samsung Gear 2 (and similar products)? As I understand it, you must have a head unit (your phone) close to call, surf, etc., and then you might as well use your phone.
Absolutely, I have instant access to the full text of my e-mail on my wrist, which is tremendously useful. The alerts are far more effective on your wrist than in your pocket.
***** hey is it possible to change the S voice sound? On my note 3 I can download different S voice accents(US, UK etc) is this possible for the watch too?
Great unboxing video and explanation. Question; Which one you think right now is the best smart watch in the market ?(Gear2, LG Gwatch, AsusZen, Gear S, or any other)
Love seeing this review, years later. Samsung WAS way ahead of their time.
Facts mfs had wireless charging in 2013😂
Great review itself as well as quality of the video and audio. I can't imagine why people could possibly give this clip a thumb down.
Great review! I didn't know the gear 2 could do so much, probably because all the half assed 3min reviews by other you tubers.
Now I know everything about the Gear, thank you
could you imagine if you took this back to 1980 how amazed everyone would be.
Wow. That is A LOT of features. If i get the GS5 i definitely make sure to get this watch too. Seems very useful. Great video by the way!
Awesome unboxing/review. You've quickly become one of my favorite tech RUclipsr's along with Marques. Too bad the Gear only works with Galaxy devices. I wouldn't mind shelling out the money for a Gear Fit or Gear 2. Keep up the good work! Also cute dogs! And a lovely home you have. :)

Best review of the Gear 2 I've seen so far. Thanks for the good work.
It would have been very nostalgic if u create a video comparing with the old model and the new one
Finally a vid where u explain the unboxing as u open it and don't have u watching screen pics and not downing the product I subscribed half way threw the vid
The best review by miles. Cheers
Agreed!
Thank you! That was the best tech review I've seen for any product in a long time - incredibly detailed, well presented and very helpful.
Just a day away from receiving my Galaxy Gear 2.
Looking forward to practice with your video.
Thank you
AWESOME!!!
More than happy with the watch.
I literally just bought a gear 2 neo. First thing hat came up to my mind is to watch your video about it!
Excellent, hope you found it useful!

I have bought both the gear 2 and apple watch. I would definitely recommend the apple watch. The gear is laggy and has limited features compared to the apple watch. For example, the glances, O2 sat capabilities, and Siri has more capabilities.
yuppp
Keshanbeast And the price has a gap of 100-300 depending on the model.
I know that this is an old comment. But the Gear 2 released a whole year before the apple watch. So yeah.. Apple had a lot of time to manufacture and design their watches.
Hey bro Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit exist now did you know
You did such an awesome job on showing the Samsung Gear 2 Neo. I just bought mine and love it and you have made it so much easier to enjoy. Thank you again.

Excellent, best decision I ever made!
you made a really good option because im a huge fan. i really want to be you
hey detroit how can i buy a gear 2 cuz the gear 2 is out of stock or sold out in my country.i live in dubai,UAE
I would get the Gear Neo model just because it has the features I would look for and need and it's affordable.

@@Erick-sx5gy thanks mr. helpful
WOW Best Gear 2 & Neo review I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for great review. very informative. I wonder why Samsung didn't include software keyboard and calculator app with Gears.
Why you keep moving your right hand like that?
Incredible video quality, and a great in depth review! The Gear 2 is at the top of my christmas wish list!
even this gear makes me exiting so i cant wait for apple to come with the iwatch for my iphone :D

Will this work on samsung galaxy grand2 ?? :) plz reply me !
no
Yes :)
Samsung Gear is compatible with 17 types of device models :
Samsung Galaxy S5 / Galaxy Grand 2 / Galaxy Note 3 / Galaxy Note 3 Neo / Galaxy Note 2 / Galaxy S4 / Galaxy S3 / Galaxy S4 Zoom / Galaxy S4 Active / Galaxy S4 mini /
Galaxy Mega 6.3 / Galaxy Mega 5.8 / Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) / Galaxy NotePRO (12.2) / Galaxy TabPRO (12.2/10.1/8.4)
That's an Actual Complete Review!! EXCELLENT !!!!!
Need one for my exams in June :D best way to cheat!
Omg 😲😂
How'd the exam go?
The best review BY FAR I have seen regarding these very new products. Great detail, easy to understand voice if a little rapid. I am purchasing the Gear 2 and am saving this to a new file to help me learn how to use it. Thank you for this.
It's funny seeing all the ignorant iPhone lover comments. Apple has done a good job and so has Samsung why can't we be friends and support our differences?
Chris Auditore thanks
Great video super good review! I like how you close the video at the end with the dogs. I ordered the metal brown gold gear 2 , can't wait!
Another Samsung OS. How long will Tizen be supported by them. Befor they had Bada and that was the worst experience I ever had with a phone. The Wave 8500 itself was really nice, metal shell, good camera, great battery life, but the OS was just BS.

Don't get one....u will be left far....far....far away Shrek
Loo
Loo
LOL
Very lengthy and informative review. I am considering this product and this has answered all my questions. Thanks!
Buys 1000$ smartphone. Keeps it in pocket all the time cause has smartwatch on wrist. DERP
Truly such an amazing review, I couldn't imagine that you can do SO MUCH things with a gear. Both your video and the device is AMAZING. BRAVO !!! 👏👏👏😏
Mike the Tab 4's r out
I got them! Reviews coming throughout next week.
***** nice
***** did you say who won the Samsung galaxy s5 contest?
Yes, I started filming those reviews today.
***** Thanks
This is a very thorough review. I just I just got my Neo and this video really helped me out.
drives me crazy when reviews of these watches say " Galaxy Gear 2/Neo ". No such thing, its a " Gear two/Neo ".
Dear DetroitBORG,
Thanks a lot for the five star comprehensive review,
I have seen many reviews for Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, and Gear fit but nothing is to be compared to yours,
You even beat the official review,
Please keep that way (thumps up),
Best regards,
Saleh SHAKI
This thing is completely useless. I like how Samsung always rushes to put shit on the market so that Apple can learn from the negative feedback and make a really good device.
To be fair apple hasn't put out a quality product since the iPhone 4
Jonas Horn Let me ask you a question!!! Do you even know anything about samsung products and how useful they are????
JOnas....are u come in peace? from which planet?
it is time to land ....SAMSUNG TIME BABY!!!!!!!
one word: ignorant
Jonas Horn apple learns from negative feedback to put out a better product...u fckn kidding me? when the apple watch launched, battery life was ~18 hrs with "regular use". not even one full day. the apple watch menus are a complete MESS too. you're such a fucking troll..
As always, very thorough review. Thanks and keep the posts coming!
Your insight on these products are both informative and educational. It makes decision making easier for me. Thank you so much!
After 6 year agoo, I still watch. Thx 🙏🏽
At least these things are finally getting cool. Nice resolution, smooth functions, and lots of stuff built in (mic/speaker, cameras, etc.)
wow. that is the best review i have seen. i was especially interested in the software and you did a thorough job of review
I love this phone...great review as per usual. How is it that you know all the in's and out's of these phones before you unbox them? I can only think you do a ton of research before you start your reviews? How do you get your hands on things like shell frames of up coming Apple stuff?
Whenever someone asks me about the specs of my SG Note 3, I point them to your RUclips channel!
Thanks for this review, a excelent production and presentation. A question: Why Gear 2 Neo have not a camera ? if are Neo, that means new ou updated. Good video.
THANK YOU!
I've been looking for a super in depth review of these 2 models :)
You're extremely thorough. (
Great review , I'm still waiting for the original gear but you ever did unboxing of it.
This dude is a fuckin God at reviews. So in depth and understandable. Good job dude!
Awesome review lot of my questions were answered
i told you once and i'll shall told ya again your the best in what you do hoping you to continue and bring to us new stuffs good bye
This guy bores the hell out of me. He is doing a good job at selling it - because I just bought one, however he needs to change his approach. I fell asleep at one point and had to start over. It can't be easy making a review for a product that does so much and still keep your audience entertained. Kudos to you mate.
U do real good reviews...keep it up and continue doing more
no one here talking about the doggos at the end of the video
EDIT: I'm also the 1000th comment for some reason
what a great review! it tells you almost anything you would like to know ab the watches! thanks so much very helpful
Great review, it really shows off how much stuff these watches actually do. I have the original Gear watch and was thinking should I upgrade, I was pretty much deciding NO until I watched this review!
Your videos are awesome and the best in the world.I love your videos YOU ARE THE BEST. YOU NEED TO HAVE 1 000 000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!!
pretty good review, as always
i hope u keep making reviews like this one
Hi Max, I can't wait to do this every day!
I currently have a S4 Mini, but am looking to upgrade to the S6 Edge when released, will the Gear 2 Neo work with both of these phones?
Another great video mike!!
I simply love your videos
Hello!
I've just bought the Gear 2 in Japan. Your Gear has a "Sleep" app as I watched your video,but My Gear 2(Japanese model)does not have it. What features does the "Sleep" app bring to us? Is it such a waking alarm? Would you tell me?
What do you think about the camera, is it any good for taking snapshots, such as when running and some cool car passes by on the road
Absolutely wonderful video (i am a very big fan of yours)
Yes I was looking forward for this review!!!
Awesome, I know here isn't tremendous interest in these but I had allot of fun with them.
You're voice is amazing. You should do commercials
Your dogs a brilliant. More of a loiter than a walk! Good review - thanks.
Thanks for all this info and the demo it was very helpful.
Hi great video! I was wondering if you are having trouble with the Neo? When I send text templates with the watch, it does not show on my phone after which leaves me to guessing what I said when I look on my phone later.
does the clock have to be near to my phone .. can't I leave my mobile at home and go out with the clock only or not +DetroitBORG
Yes you can. Clock works once it is synched. Music and bluetooth will work as well standalone.
Liked the video! Is the watch compatible with the Evernote app?
Thank you , I had this gear 2 watch since the introduction . And I have not been aware of these moves and gestures not even 30 percent ,hahaha . How did you manage to grasp them ?
***** great review.. I really like the over scrolling gold effects..nice touch
Can the neo connect to the tv? I heard the gear 2 can allow you to adjust volume, change channels, and turn on/off the tv
and one more question...how good is the bluetooth connectivity? Will this connect with my phone a good 10-15 meters away?
where you get that husky blade ? haven't seen those in years , i hate the new mechanism quick release they use now
Can you please do a Gear S review? I like your reviews the best and I really want to see a Gear S review.
Can it be possible at this moment to pair the gears and fit to any other smartphone brands?
Do I have to carry galaxy phone in my pocket all the time even around the home? for galaxy gear 2 works? like counting my steps in the house
Hello Doreen,
After reading your recommendation, I am really considering of getting one Gear 2 for me. Thanks a lot and let's get it on.
it's the blur for the video or something on the optical ?
On all videos, the video is blurry on the right, see ?
Can you put a micro SIM card in it or nano??
The gear fit or the gear 2 can be connected with a very long distance? and can be connected with a Samsung Galaxy s3?
i would like to have one of the gear 2 someday, its like your wearing a phone on your wrist its AMAZING, like mission impossible :)
If you're using wired headphones to listen to music can you control the music with your watch? I know only one Bluetooth can be paired at a time so therefore using regular headphones.
I don't know if I saw the demonstration correctly or not but can you access your playlist that's on your phone to your watch?
What about the phone battery? Is there a significant drain when it is pushing stuff to the watch all day via Bluetooth?
Is the only difference between the two the materials and camera? Like all the features he went over are for both?
One question: what is the practical function with the Samsung Gear 2 (and similar products)? As I understand it, you must have a head unit (your phone) close to call, surf, etc., and then you might as well use your phone.
Great Video, Mike!!
Exelent review and entire presentation. Thank you.
Your videos are really good really descriptive
For an avid fitness person , which would you recommend? Gear 2 or fit? Is there a fit 2 coming out soon? Thanks
Great review again! Does it make your day to day work week any easier in some way?
Absolutely, I have instant access to the full text of my e-mail on my wrist, which is tremendously useful. The alerts are far more effective on your wrist than in your pocket.
***** hey is it possible to change the S voice sound? On my note 3 I can download different S voice accents(US, UK etc) is this possible for the watch too?
i remember seeing this coming out, i wanted one soooooo bad
I am sure you are happy you never got them lol
Great unboxing video and explanation.
Question; Which one you think right now is the best smart watch in the market ?(Gear2, LG Gwatch, AsusZen, Gear S, or any other)
Pebble time
