Why won't GPS work when the phone's in your pocket?

Hmm have to disagree here modern phones have far more sensitive receivers. I've used gps on the last 3 or 4 phones whilst in my pocket and it's always worked fine.

Not that much better, gear 1 has a 1.6Ghz dual core ARM, which samsung politely locked to a 800MHz running on a single core, but it's very easy to unlock. Other than that, they have the same screen, ram, battery, camera and storage. I'd say they're about the same hardware wise..
And a lot more people have bought the gear 2/neo which means better app support in the long run

Honestly I thing people just don't like change . I see nothing wrong with tizen . Its like the old story windows is better for pc than mobile android is better for smartphone and some tablets . And tizen I would rather more on a watch than a phone. Its also early development. The only thing truly missing is ability to reply from watch to both emails and messages . But we are all different and entitled to our opinion. And if people would pay attention samsung has no intent on reverting as they rumor have tizen planned to update on the galaxy gear.

My two cents but, for half the price you are losing IR blaster (which is on your phone probably anyways) and the health stuff and gaining null rom and a more open interface. Yes, it is not as water resistant but Ive put mine through hell and it works perfectly. and the camera difference? the camera is good for emergency photos thats it your not gaining much with .1mp. and Yes both watches run Exynos 4412 as stated before which Nulls kernel unlocks to 1600/Dual core.
I wouldn't pay $150 more for IR & the extra stuff...plus its tizen. I will be sticking to my G1 until the price of the Gear 2 drops near its end of cycle for the Gear 3, or if the G3 is a major improvement go for that.
If you dont have a G1 though, just do some research because G1s can be found for $150 everywhere now and it saves you a lot. plus if you REALLY care about the "music player" aspect, Tizen G1 update will bring that so...
there you have it

Any news as to when we'll get the Tizen G1 update?

Personally, I think switching to Tizen was a mistake. Time will tell. As it is, the application selection is abysmal for a smart watch that's effectively been out for 8 months. And the quality/functionality of many apps is even worse. Just read some of the reviews. But I still love the Gear watches and think we are at the cusp of some pretty exciting developments within the next few years. When Apple releases the iwatch, that's when the technology is really going to heat up between the giants.1I have a Gear 1 and just got a Gear 2 four days ago--I've been playing with it a lot. So far, I like the 1 better. Tizen may be a great OS but it has limited support/development compared to Android Wear. I can't (yet) side load apps and will likely never be able to use Wondershare MobileGo as I did with the 1. My ebay notifications don't work as they did flawlessly on the 1. The 2's vibrate is very weak even on the strong setting. Battery life is much better on the 2 but I never minded charging once a night. While I'm sure there is a CPU speed difference, I haven't noticed it at any significant rate. As far as looks go, I personally liked the quirkiness of the 1. It gave it personality. Having the home button on the front is more intrusive than on the side as it was on the 1, particularly since there's no lock screen. It was also nice to swipe down on the screen to get to the camera or whatever--now I have to hit the button twice.
The media hype made the 2 sound like it was the second coming. For me, it is far from being ready for prime time. In truth, the 2 is a version 1 with the obligatory bugs that will almost certainly be worked out in the near future. For those who have the patience to wait for new firmware, roots, etc. It will probably be a great device. I'll probably give it a few more weeks as I really want to like it.11My two cents but, for half the price you are losing IR blaster (which is on your phone probably anyways) and the health stuff and gaining null rom and a more open interface.
