Gadget: Samsung Smart Gear Review: Patrick Buchana The easy stuff that you do on your phone has been brought to your smart watch with the Samsung Galaxy Smart Gear. Pros: This smart watch is attractive, comfortable, and makes it easy to see incoming calls. Cons: Aside from receiving and ignoring calls, I would also like to notice when an email comes in, or when someone tags me in a tweet. The new Galaxy Gear Smartwatch lets you take calls, send texts, and perform various other tasks from your wrist without touching your phone. The Gear has no SIM card or data connection of its own. Instead, it links to your phone over Bluetooth, acting more as an external display so you don’t have to fish your phone out every time it rings.
