Example Introduction There’s no doubt that technology has created smaller and smaller products that have a bigger and bigger impact on our daily lives. One such device is the new Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch. Part Phone, part watch, part web browser, this small device attempts to combine all your favorite smartphone capabilities into one small form factor. Although, this watch can make you feel like the latest James Bond, it does have its limitations. Let’s take a look at some of the Gear’s defining features.

Body Paragraph #1 Samsung’s Galaxy Gear has a sleek design similar to their Galaxy phone; which is good because they must be used together. The watch face boasts an AMOLED screen with up to 720p resolution and, embedded in the strap is an HD camera. The button controls basic functions and access to voice command. The functionality is a bit sluggish and clunky for a device that is trying to make a name for itself in the wearable technology genre. Hopefully the user interface makes up for its shortfalls.

Body Paragraph #2 User Interface/Operating System

Body Paragraph #3 Apps and connectivity

Conclusion Paragraph Summarize main points Final thoughts
