Samsung Gear Live

73 Engadget Score

A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition.

Engadget Review

If you have to get an Android Wear device right now, the Samsung Gear Live is your best option. It's sleek, looks decent and performs well, but you'll want to get a new wristband for it right away. Unfortunately, you'll also need to charge it every night.
