Will be interesting to see what price the Gear 2 is when it arrives,
As far as I am aware, currently the leading watch with HR and GPS is the Vivoactive rev2.0 and thats a pretty good product that can sync with most smartphones (ios is particular) and has most of the same USEFUL features (honestly, who wants to text on a watch) whilst allowing you to sync with a HR belt for more accurate HR tracking
Gear 2 will have to seriously undercut their pricing to make it a viable alternative I think
yep. they have the advantage of Samsung phone owners who will buy as well
