TechCrunch - Get a cup of coffee. You’re going to need it. These official Samsung videos show off nearly every feature and function of the Galaxy S5 and Gear watches, but they’re rather mundane. Dull would be another word.
The videos do, however, make up in info what they lack in excitement. They run through everything: From the heart rate sensor to the TV remote control to how to customize the clock on the Gear Fit
Gadgetgyaan: Well, the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is also on it’s way. We have also heard that the Korean giant is going deep inside the wearable’s market and thus, today we have heard about the Samsung Galaxy Band as well. According to the latest reports, these two wearable gadgets are coming at Mobile World Congress or MWC 2014 which is going to be held in February.
TechRadar: "It's fair to say that the Samsung Galaxy Gear was a bit of a let down for many. After all, it failed the biggest test of all by featuring heavily in TechRadar's 2013 video of tech disappointments."
