The Samsung Galaxy Gear returns 30% of those who bought

It seems that the way of smartwatch from Samsung, the Galaxy Gear, will be tortuous, at least until you center your aim and begin either to sink as a useful device beyond its design qualities in addition to fashion.

The fact is that in an internal report that handle at Samsung, are data that are not to be happy. And the Galaxy Gear would be around alarming rates of return above 30% of buyers who, after trying a few days, decided to return it and get your $ 299 (€ 299 in Spain).

These data have to do with the Samsung Experience Shop, stores that Koreans have in the U.S. with Best Buy, one of the giants of the technology distribution. Although not disclosed many details of the report, the main reasons for the rate of return that the gadget would not meet the expectations that the user who buys has placed in him, and rarely that purchase failed due to a bug issue at the time of its operation.

The report did not detail the reasons why Samsung believes it is having the smartwatch well received so cold that gives hope that the ever profitable (in sales) Christmas campaign (holydays they say there) is weaker than expected for the Galaxy Gear.

Recall that, in practice, the Samsung Galaxy Gear functions as a mobile remote control (eye, and only some models like the Note 3 to II, the S4, the Mega, etc., Are supported) in the they can barely tasks autonomously performed beyond making calls, photos, videos or transfer content to your smartphone. Furthermore, applications like Gmail or Google Hangouts do not have the possibility of viewing on the device so you simply received a warning and the rest of the operation must complete it in mobile.

Another good point is to improve applications. Needing native versions, adapted tasks as knowing when we get a WhatsApp can not be done yet so we do not get, even, notifications on the Galaxy Gear. Hopefully Samsung find those reasons and, above all, enjoying the lovely hardware that has the smartwatch, perform general tweaking how to use many applications and communication options with other devices.
