Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I have had the Gear for about two months now, having waited until the prices came down a bit. I could have waited for the Gear 2 but wanted the pedometer to help my training for an event. I really love it... I work in IT so liking gadgets does rather go with the territory though! Having read the reviews I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I could do with it - somewhere I read that you couldn't sync GMail, but you can...and like other eMail you can see the start of the message. When I'm out of the office, that's enough to know if I need to worry or not! I also find for quick phone calls of the "I'm on the train, could you pick me up?" variety, it's fine - the speaker is quiet enough not to have too wide a range of audibility but you don't actually have to hold your wrist to your ear! And I really like the style...I have it in the rose gold and it looks really good, as lots of other people have told me, which after all is the acid test! It brought out a case of envy in a significant number of fellow attendees at a recent IT conference and at least two other women were plotting to buy one :) I should say that I have the Note 3 too, clearly having the right partner device is a pre-requisite.
