Is Gear device a really useful thing? if so, how?

It has potential to be very useful. For example, it allows me as a construction worker to not fumble around in my pocket when a call comes in. It also allows me to control the volume on my bluetooth music speaker. With better apps, it has the potential to be a lot more.

My previous review was more complete on this subject, however, in a nutshell the watch is more useful than not and I often will specifically choose to wear in non sports circumstances for the advantage of a quick check of which emails are waiting, weather, temperature, date. Also I found the find your device app useful. I have also be using the sleep monitoring function. The only thing hit or miss is the heart rate monitor.

its also great if your not allowed to have cellphone at work and the workplace has camera all over the place. that's the reason why I got this smart watch for my girl friend due to her work environment

I find it useful. I've missed less calls and texts since it's attached to my arm. It vibrates when I have a call or text. It's especially helpful in loud places and when I can't fit my phone in my pocket.

In the time I have had the gear, it keeps my office schedule up to date on the watch usually the Google calendar.The Apps for weather and for Evernote are extremely useful. The watch costs so little without the camera that it is worthtrying it for 2 weeks and then AT&T; will refund you if you do not like it. I guarantee you will not want to give it back if you keepa lot of appointments and the watch gives you an alarm before each. Being able to answer the phone itself is a great show off item.Useful if not for the schedule, it is useful for the time--it is an accurate watch with battery life now almost 2 days.

It can allow you go not have to always pull your phone out of your pocket to see a text, email, or call. You can respond to all from Galaxy Gear.

The device has the capability, but I've never tried using it, so can't advise you on how to do it or how well it works.

Hello, The locking gear is annoying to say the least. The locking gear is difficult to use. The foot cuffs are very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, my ATIS 4000 has become a clothes rack. I'm getting rid of it.

Beverly, to be absolutely honest, I do not know. I have no familiarity with any optional gear being used with this excellent player. Besides my earbuds, I have paired it with nothing else. I have been exceedingly happy with it in the manner that I have been using it, and really have no need for any 'extensions'. Wish I could have been of more help to you.Blessings,Nathan

Yes sir. It's a great piece of gear but be warned the battery power is virtually useless. Not sure why they didn't just put a rechargeable battery in there.

I have used it in tournaments. Each course or tournament may have different rules. You need to check with your tournament chairperson to make sure they have not excluded the use of such devices.

No. This device does not work like you will expect it to. It is not worth purchasing.

You need software driver which assigns usage. However I can't find software driver on gearhead website. the little button on top that lights switches dpi

I believe it is on the website. I remember looking it up because the actual manual is too small print. Anyway somewhere just google Gear pro manual, mostly the same for several models.

No, unfortunately. This device is not what you wanted it to be (at least not what I expected it could do) and is still limited to use with apps that are specifically designed for it and not for everyday computer use or integration with other devices.

Unless you are a serious tech geek I wouldn't recommend to buy this just for it's GPS capabilities. You have to do a series of performance boost involving buying a mini SDHC class 4 or higher memory card in order to get this bad boy tweaked enough to exploit it's full potential. You can get a combo of N801 and an 8GB micro SDHC class 4 (with mini adapter included) online for under $200. There is ton of information online on how to improve performance on the device with the help of the additional memory and even getting Android with it's Google Maps support which then yes, makes it a great tool but since I am a Garmin Nuvi 350 owner there is nothing that I have personally tested faster than Garmin. With this being said if you happen to have to go to a country where there is not maps then Nokia N810 has a great advantage over Garmin since you can pre-load your route and map so you can make it to your destination (if you have to detour then you are out of luck). I have tested free maps that you can download online for the Garmin for such places and it does a good job too but they are not as up to date as the ones you can get for the Maemo Mapper. Below is the description of Maemo Mapper from Maemo.org and also you can find plenty of videos on youtube and google videos. "Maemo Mapper is geographical mapping visualization software specifically designed for the Maemo platform and the Nokia 770/N800/N810 form factor. It uses raster maps downloaded from the internet from various online repositories (such as OpenStreetMap). It supports tracking, routing, POI, and other features found in personal navigation devices."

I haven't had many opportunities to use this equipment yet but my test show it to be very useful. I would much rather have "too much play" than too little. Its all a matter of patients and finess. Hope that helps.

No, the device does work like that. Most device have a combination of vitals are expensive (i.e. heart rate, O2, etc.) This inexpensive item is per usage. Thanks,

As previously stated, this device is primarily used to allow users to take their content with them, regardless of connectivity. It's not perfect, but it does add some major flexibility to family road trips, rainy days at a beach house, etc. It supports multiple connections (to include HD video). One major drawback, for some unexplained reason (poss. to meet certain FCC rules?) you can't access the device while connected to an A/C plug. I wish they would address that issue fast. Otherwise, it's a solid piece of kit. HTH?

It probably can record your routes for use over and over again. I ride mostly roads so it the best for GPS and bike computer that there is.

Yes, it can. It is a highly adaptable unit and perfect for the use you intend. It takes a little time to get used to it, but that is the same for all such devices. Practice makes perfect.
