Moreover, when it was initially released globally, the South Korean smartphone maker followed a clever scheme and bundled it with the Galaxy Note 3, the company's last year's flagship smartphone. However, that didn't work to the company's expectations.

Also the device was not compatible with other Samsung smartphones when it was launched. But soon the company released an update that enabled the support for the Galaxy Gear with other smartphones like Galaxy S4 and more. The device is not fully smart and the its functions are mostly dependent on the parent smartphone.

It comes with a 1.63-inch AMOLED display offering a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. It is powered by a 800MHz processor and backed by 512MB of RAM and internal memory. The device is compatible with select Galaxy handsets (above Android 4.3 Jelly Bean).

Well, the Galaxy Gear cannot be connected with iOS powered devices. It also comes with an integrated camera that can take pictures as well as record videos in 720p HD quality. You can receive notifications, SMS, messages, receive / dial calls and much more with the smartwatch.
