Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) review

Samsung’s line of wearables has been recently updated with such sleek devices as Galaxy Watch Active2, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Fit, Fit e, and several others. The Samsung Gear app has been renamed into Galaxy Wearable to celebrate the new line. It lets you connect to register your device in a few taps, personalize its features, and choose the style that works best for you. 

Features – 8/10

Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) is designed to provide you with the best performance or your new smartwatch or fitness tracker. It’s a necessary app for linking your Android or iOS smartphone to the smartwatch. It enables automatic updates of the firmware and lets you adjust the look, automation, notifications, and other services. Of course, they’re not as versatile on iOS devices, but still pretty useful considering the difference between prices for Samsung’s and Apple’s wearables. 

To install new apps on your Samsung wearable device, you will have to download Galaxy Apps. All other features are available through the Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app. If you’re using the watch in pair with an iOS device, you can install the apps directly from the app. You should also consider that the current iOS version of the app is called Samsung Galaxy Watch (Gear S). Another important thing to know is that Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) isn’t compatible with any of Android and iOS tablets, so you must have a smartphone with Android 6.0+ or iOS 10.0+ onboard. 

Ease of Use – 10/10

Connecting and adjusting the watch with the Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app is very quick and convenient. You have to select the model of your smartwatch from the list, then pair the device via Bluetooth, and it will be ready for work. 

Design – 9/10

The Android version of the app is really stylish with its new black design that looks elegant on OLED and AMOLED displays. The user interface is also different from the iOS version. As for the iOS app, it looks like an average system utility. It already supports the iOS 13 dark theme, but the layout of buttons and indicators is still totally different.

Pricing – 10/10

Same as all other apps by Samsung, Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) is available for free for both Android and iOS users for free. All the related updated and downloadable content is also always free, independently from the version of the watch you are using. By the way, the list of compatibles still includes older models, such as Gear S2, Gear S3, IconX, Fit2 Pro, and Fit2.
