Well, just the other day Samsung released that they would be bring out a Gear 2 and a Gear Neo onto the the market. For those who don't know the Samsung Gear is a watch like device that came out late last year. Now in early 2014 Samsung has decided to bring out two new models of the watch, with noticeable improvements over the last one. The first thing that is different with the Gear 2 and the Gear Neo is the fact that both are water resistant up to 3 Feet. This now allow people to go swimming with the watch on without having to worry about breaking it. Just don't try diving with it. The second improvement is the variety of health features that Samsung has included such as step counter, heart rate monitor and sleep pattern monitor. These new watches are geared towards health and fitness. The third improvement is the increase battery life. The new watches report a 2 to 3 day battery life, while the old watches only had a 25 hour battery life. The fourth improvement to the Gear 2 and the Gear Neo is the addition of an IR blaster to control your TV and your set top box, with the Gear 2 also sporting a 2MP camera and 720p video. The fifth and most interesting improvement is the use of the operating system Tizen and not Android anymore by both the Gear 2 and Gear Neo. Now that's a slap in the face for Google. The sixth improvement, which is a small improvement, is the ability of both the Gear 2 and the Gear Neo to change the watch strap, something you couldn't do with the Gear. Now Samsung is yet to release the official pricing of the Gear 2 and the Gear Neo, but with less functionality than the Gear 2, the Gear Neo is said to have a reduced price tag. So who is looking forward to the new watches from Samsung?? And would you buy one???
