Review on Samsung Gear Sport Wi-Fi NFC Smartwatch, black by Wiktor Redziski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

7) Where is the ant+ sensor? neighbors on treadmills run with cheap heart rate monitors from China, and the simulator reads info on this channel. By the way, the phone itself has this sensor. But no dances with a tambourine revived him. Deal with it=) 8) Do you want a beautiful or new dial? Money in cash. 9) Do you want to make a call using the watch? (through a headset or headphones for example to talk). You can press call and that's it. There is no information about the call (with whom and how much you are talking), there is no hang up button. That is, if by mistake the wrong number is poked, the call is dropped only from the phone. It would be nice to add functionality, it would be possible to call and answer a call with a bezel, or on the screen). Separate item. How did I get a notification from the gear s plugin. Left the phone in the room - ding, the clock is off. Returned to the room-ding, the clock is connected. The phone still chimes if the notification is not read every 15 minutes (I set it this way for convenience). It is not possible to block a notification. Disable too. How to get out of the situation I do not know yet. Was it really difficult to make the notification turn off, like in other applications? I thought for a long time whether I needed such a watch at all instead of ordinary Casio, whether I would charge them. After buying the S8+, I also bought a watch. Despite such a description of the shortcomings, they are all insignificant) The problem of paid dials is solved by installing third-party "Companions". I recommend facer, downloaded through the market and there are free =) Just do not load a lot at once, the clock starts to blunt. And counters of steps, calories, pulse, phone charge do not work from third-party dials. The problem here is the incompatibility of tizen and c ++, but there are many interesting ones (there are Tom and Jerry, Mario, Iron Man, etc. ). You can also put regular watch faces in . wgt format. But you have to remember the command line commands, and connect via sdk (via IP through a router). I am completely satisfied with the purchase) I have already ordered a strap in China and a set of films on the screen (the protective glass is thick and really disfigures the watch and clings to the bezel with burrs).

Pros
  • 1) 100% integration with samsung phone 2) Waterproof 3) There are third-party programs for TIZEN and all sorts of applications 4) Good autonomy for 3 days (or with very active use for the whole day). 5) Lack of ports, extra holes. No one will say that the clock has sunk, since you did not close the cap (hello xperia Z3 big) 6) Convenient charging dock, you can easily put the watch in it even in complete darkness.
Cons
  • 1) Without a phone, they will not be able to do almost anything (clock, pulse, steps from the main one) As in itself, the device is insolvent 2) Samsung PAY has a limited number of transactions without Phone. They say about 5 purchases, but did not personally check. 3) Absence of MST (simulator of a magnetic strip which is on S3). Of course, NFC is everywhere, but it’s strange why they haven’t implemented it 4) Lack of speaker and microphone (wanted water resistance? ). It is on S3, but I swim in hours, bathe in the shower. I was afraid to take the normal version. 5) The watch only sees the last message in the chat. Did you receive 3 messages at once from 1 person? You can read and answer only the last one. Swiped notifications? Well, calling them again will not work, now just get the phone. After all, there is a keyboard, there is a screen, would it not be difficult to make a light client so that you can answer? 6) I go in for fitness. S Health, both here and on the phone, does not allow you to correct information about the workout. I run on the track. The simulator shows the calories burned. Readings differ by 100 kcal for every 30 minutes of running. Why? Yes, because the track knows that I'm running downhill (incline), but the clock does not. Why not add the ability to specify the number of calories yourself? Well, at least on the phone.
