Android Wear on board, Heart rate monitor included, Sleeker than the G Watch, Makes up for large phone size
Design isn't very original, Clasp hard to fasten, Software needs tuning, Battery life is awful
Android Wear early adopters should go with the Samsung Gear Live over the less elegant LG G Watch, but know in advance that it's far from perfect. Everyone else should wait for the Moto 360 or LG G Watch R.The hardware has its hiccups with straps that are...

The Gear Live has a clean metal body, more features for the price than the LG watch, works with many Android phones (4.3 or later), has impressive Google Voice recognition, and could have an interesting variety of apps sooner than later
Terrible battery life; a display that doesn't work in bright sunlight; a strange card-based notification system that doesn't always pop up with the info you want; annoying snap-on charger that's not easy to attach

We used both Android Wear devices over several weeks and found them to be more useful than we'd initially imagined. The ability to look at an incoming notification and see if it's something that requires further attention or can be safely ignored without ...

Abstract: The Gear Live is the best smartwatch I've ever used--but that's not a remarkable achievement considering all the crappy-to-middling efforts we've seen from Samsung, Sony and Qualcomm. If I were being generous, I'd say Samsung finally landed on a simple, w...
The Gear Live-or more specifically, Android Wear-is already capable of doing more (and looking good doing it) than any other smartwatch out there. The software has tremendous potential, and it's actually useful, rather than just a novelty. Being able to q
It feels like a beta. Some of the flaws we've already mentioned just seem so obvious that it makes you feel like the product was rushed out the door, which it probably was. Android Wear needs more consistency and speed in voice recognition, and an Undo po
