This is definitely an upgrade from the first Galaxy Gear watch. The only thing I missed at first was it did not have a camera. But I'm over it now. The S voice works much better. The speaker is very clear and texting is a breeze on the mini keyboard. Much more stylish than the original Galaxy Gear.

I had this watch for a week and so far I am very pleased with its features. I do think not having a camera is a low but besides that, all other functions are great. I only hope more useful apps get develop in the near future.

This watch would be so much better if it ad a built in camera. Also if you are not with in Bluetooth range you cant respond to your text messages. I could care less about my phone calls when I am at work I would like to text real quick while my phone is at my desk.
