    When the Gear is on your wrist doing nothing....

    At first it kind of was a hindrance, but since the update it responds much faster when I raise up to my face. I actually am getting used to not having the face always on and I am starting to like it.

    Why does the GG work for you?

    Always been a ultra tech geek, I was a kid who had Sega CD, sega genisis that could be used as a CD player. I had calculator watches, knight rider watch, **** tracy communicator watch. If it was a cool watch I had it. I have a GS4, I didn't mind pulling my phone out of my pocket, but it got...

    Galaxy Gear Firmware UK to US version

    Just went to samsung update site, and they added XAR build date 13.11.2013 which I believe is exactly the same as the BTU build. I think Kies 3 thinks I have build XAR since I am using a device that is region coded XAR. I thought the build date for the XAR or whatever version was going to be...

    Galaxy Gear Firmware UK to US version

    Well I loaded BTU but when I tried to side grade to the U.S. version since I wasn't sure if they added something new for US or maybe different it said I had the XAR version. Which makes me think it side graded itself. Just not sure. Can anyone confirm who upgraded to BTU that when you connect...

    Galaxy Gear US Firmware Update!

    1) Yes it does 2) That is not true 3) Range is debatable. I can go down stairs in my house and into the garage before it disconnects. I would call it above average. 4) Find my feature doesn't do anything if you are out of range of the watch/phone 5)I would treat this watch the same as if it...

    Galaxy Gear Firmware UK to US version

    You able to view version on Kies for me? It will tell you wether it is XAR or BTU or some other one that may match up with a US update. Basically from my manager it looks like I have the same thing as you. Looks like your on the go you may not be able to do that. Anyone who posts after this...

    Galaxy Gear Firmware UK to US version

    I have been on UK update, and tried to Kies 3 update my gear today to see if it would let me get the US version but it says I am up to date. It also shows that I have XAR MK7 which is cellular south. I updated to BTU MK7 which is UK version. Could someone please confirm for me what version...

    Galaxy Gear US Firmware Update!

    don't blame you, seems as if they don't like giving great stuff to US customers, First it started with the octa core and now they lag on an update. I know its not easy to make an update work for all devices on many different phone connections with different cellular companies but I just don't...

    Anybody compare the GG to the Pebble?

    Not sure how well it works for you or how your vision stacks up against mine, if you hold the button on the side of the gear you can quickly switch it to outdoor mode which highlights the area you need to see. You can do same to switch back when you are indoors. The camera I find myself only...

    Anybody compare the GG to the Pebble?

    I bought the Pebble which led me to buying this. The pebble is an awesome watch, just too low tech for my taste. The e-paper screen left me a lot to desire its like going from a galaxy s4 to a gameboy it just wasn't my cup of tea. It has many more apps, and work just as good if not better...

    Galaxy Gear US Firmware Update!

    Don't think it has been released yet. With the OTA update to the gear manager and the fact that almost every other country has it already I am assuming it may be releasing soon. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Which is why people are upgrading to UK's firmware for increased notifications...
