I have been using the original Gear 1 since launch, so when the Gear 2 was announced, I was excited and could hardly wait. I went ahead and ordered the Gear 2 Neo instead of the Gear 2 due to not using much of the camera at all on the Gear 1. I have two major problems with Gear 2 Neo, enough so that I may consider returning it. Your feedback is appreciated.
1. Vibration is very weak - On my original Gear 1, I could feel the vibration under any circumstance. It was very strong in comparison to the Gear 2 Neo. Perhaps Samsung decided to turn down the vibration to save/extend its battery life? Could this be the reason? I could hardly feel the vibration on the Gear 2 Neo.
2. Plastic Look - I'm use to the metal casing on the original Gear 1, so going from metal to plastic housing is a notable difference in aesthetics. It' just doesn't have that appeal. I would get complimented on the Gear 1. Gear 2 looks like a toy watch on my wrist in comparison.
For these reasons, I will likely be returning the Gear 2 Neo and try my luck with the Gear 2. Can anyone provide their feedback, especially if you are coming from the Gear 1?
