Samsung Gear 2 Longer battery life New heart rate monitor and IR blaster Improved design Very few apps Some software features feel superficial The Gear 2 is generally a solid improvement over the original, with a nicer design and longer battery life. Even so, it doesn't perform well enough to fully justify the $300 asking price.

That means Bluetooth 4.0, 4GB of storage, a microphone and an accelerometer. there were just 10 third-party apps for the Gear 2 (that's 22, technically, but 12 are just watch faces.) The Gear 2's Gmail notifications are much better, with a decent snippet of the message included in the alert.

The Matrix PowerWatch abstains from their use entirely by instead powering itself using body heat (meaning you'll never need to take it off for charging). This is accomplished thanks to thermoelectric technology that uses a temperature gradient, your body heat on one side and components inside the watch on the other to generate electricity.

The same system also makes accurate calorie measurements possible without the need for a heart rate monitor, on top of tracking steps, sleep quality, plus loading other micro-applications on its monochromatic display such as a timer and stopwatch.

Samsung Gear 2 review: much improved, but that doesn't mean you should buy it. 2013 was the year of the smartwatch. In promise, anyway -- maybe not delivery. Of the many, many different, colorful and unusual timepieces that would populate our blogroll, it was perhaps Samsung's Galaxy Gear that made the most headlines.

Why? Partly because it was a new product from one of technology's biggest players, and partly because it was just so bad. Poor battery life, an unpopular design and limited apps meant that the $300 accessory never had a chance of catching on. But, resilient as ever, Samsung is having another crack at it. In fact, it's having another three cracks at it with the release of the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit smartwatches.

These set of Falken Azenis RT-615K grips to the tarmac like glue, sticky and plants the car on the ground even while aggresively driving or cornering. It doesn't perform all so well while on wet tarmac though, and I've experienced slight skids with slightly worn treads. Other than that, this tyre provides comfort and less noise while driving on normal dry conditions.

Grips well on dry road, making driving at high speeds and aggressive cornering effortless! Price is also just right for what it does! Performance on wet road conditions is quite bad.

Serta Hotel Mattresses. Additionally, many hotels add specialty pillow toppers to their mattresses for an additional pillow feel. This can be somewhat of a surprise if the mattress itself doesn't perform as expected.

The pros: Get a similar mattress to your hotel experience. The cons: The feel of the mattress may not be the same at home -- durability is a risk and there may be a topper that was used at the hotel. Price Range: $775+. Final Score: 7.3 / 10.
