"Samsung really wants you to be into smartwatches. It has released no less than five of them in less than a year. Of all those released, the Gear Live is the only one that you should care about, and here&amp;#039;s why: The Good   Decent looks Better screen Android Wear already better   The Bad   Battery life Bezels    Hardware The Gear Live, unlike LG&amp;#039;s G Watch, adds a bit of metal to its design, which results in a far more tempting package from a looks perspective at least. The bezels around the display are suitably huge, though - so unlike the Moto 360, it still has a slight &amp;#039;development phase&amp;#039; feel to it. As for the screen, it&amp;#039;s a much prettier, smaller display than that of LG&amp;#039;s G Watch, largely due to the fact it uses super AMOLED tech. That said, it&amp;#039;s still nowhere near bright enough, which makes the watch a pain to use in the day. 4GB of internal storage and a 1.2 GHz processor complete the package.  The 300 mAh battery, which sees the Gear Live listed as &amp;#039;1-day use&amp;#039; on Google Play, is also worth mentioning. It&amp;#039;s enough to get you through the day, but really isn&amp;#039;t anywhere near what a watch should manage. Case in point, batteries in a \u00A310 Casio watch will last you more than a decade. The heart rate monitor on the back was extremely unreliable in terms of measuring our heartbeat. If you can get it to work, it&amp;#039;s accurate, but we found it easier just taking a pulse. Design Just like LG&amp;#039;s G Watch, the Gear Live isn&amp;#039;t particularly big. It&amp;#039;s 37.9 x 56.4 x 8.9 mm and just 59 grams in weight, which puts it roughly in line with your average digital watch. This means it isn&amp;#039;t uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The use of a soft rubber strap makes it even more comfortable to use.  As for the design, we&amp;#039;ve already mentioned that we like the way that the Gear Live looks. Its simple, brushed aluminium fascia coupled with the sAMOLED screen is definitely nice. Charging is still done via a silly micro USB cradle that attaches to the bottom of the watch. These devices are a perfect example of why wireless charging really is necessary for wearables. Android Wear We&amp;#039;ve already written at length about Google&amp;#039;s smartwatch operating system. It&amp;#039;s growing at a rapid rate, with plentiful support being added by major apps almost daily. The latest is What&amp;#039;s App, which now lets you reply to messages via speech and the watch itself.  Bottom line is, Android Wear is a simple and easy way to interact with notifications on your phone. It doesn&amp;#039;t go that far beyond that, aside from adding features like a timer and a stopwatch. Verdict We really can&amp;#039;t believe we are saying this, but we are sold on the idea of Android Wear. The more time we spend using it, the more it becomes integrated into our digital lives. Just like the smartphone, the more apps it gets, the better it gets. Samsung&amp;#039;s hardware is the best out there right now, but it is held back by the battery life. We need a week out of these watches, not a day. Fix that, and Android Wear is a very persuasive setup indeed.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
