hey it's Josh regard from intra thorny what's going on everybody and Here I am with the Samsung gear live now we're gonna give you your first look on here just like with the Moto 360 we are looking at devices that are currently in demo mode and that means we won't be able to get a great look at the operating system we will get a look at some of the basic functionality of some of the things that they obviously want to be able to show us but for the most part I figured you know what we're going to have the the LG G watch tomorrow when I get my hands on it so I might will show you an in-depth look at the operating system on Android wear when I get that but before we even get into the operating system here is the actual device itself now one thing I do love about this is it does have the look of a gear 2 neo or rather gear neo but it does retain a look that is very much like the gear yet has the clasp or rather the band of the Samsung gear Finn I think that's a great idea the gear fit had a very very easy to use class system as right here and you'll be able to easily just sort of put it on by doing that right there and we don't have a camera on here again this is more like the Neo than the gear 2 we do have a button on the side that will go straight to the watch faces and whatnot and everything will be there so I'm pressing it right now and of course if you look on the back right there we have a heart rate monitor now the heart rate monitor is something that you're going to see in a lot of Samsung devices these days and the gear live made with Android wear by Android wear is gonna be no exception so let me go ahead and throw this on real quick please excuse my my wristband that I have on right now that's for the after-hours party that is happening later today and go ahead and easily just clasp this right onto my wrist it's very maybe I'm putting it too tight there you go and there you go so what we have here is the actual device itself with the screen we do have a pretty sizable bezel on the around the screen but that's not too bad it actually doesn't look that bad on my wrist the way the gears did this a little bit bigger than your in your usual watch but then again so was the Moto 360 and I give I give the gear live some some good some good points in terms of its design because it's actually not too bad the other thing too is these risks these bands right here can be removed in order for you to put on a standard wrist watch band that you would might want to do harder to have a little bit of customization so we'll go ahead and just press on the home button right there and here is the first watch face that has available I can always go through and here is the oops that's head over here there is a notification on here let me just unmute it if you bring down from the top you'll get the date and you also get an ability to mute the phone along with your current battery life so I've mute unmutes right there so here is the first notification that I have on here I didn't have I was a I actually dismissed the text notification that was there so what we have here is the weather so weather in London right here looking to the right and we have the next four days so we have a five-day forecast right there having done - the pedometer area we do have the pedometer that we'll be able to tell you how many steps that you have walked on this particular day and of course the notification for getting home and also the flight information this is all information that like that comes from pretty much Google now so be able to use all the information from there in order to get that to get to what you need and then in and then on here what we have is a music player if you swipe to the right you'll be able to change the track to go next or go previous so that's what you have there players on one screen next and previous or on the next couple ones from there and finally a calendar entry right here that I just dismissed and from there that's what we have so if we were to head over here obviously you'll be able to have voice-activated searches and will not be able to say something like ok Google and there you go it comes up right away and go straight to this particular area just sit in a reminder by time and location as a sense right there as this is a demo mode and there you go that's pretty much that pretty much does it for this at least demo portion of the gear live now yes the gear live will be available starting today and you will be able to get your hands on it pretty easily at the Google Play Store and the Moto 360 along with the LG G watch artists competition as they are the first three devices to come with Android wear as their operating system so that is the Samsung gear live stay tuned to android authority for all the best coverage including my coverage of the other two smartwatches we I just put up one about the Moto 360 and then tomorrow when I get my hands on my LG G watch I'll give you an in-depth review of not only the device itself but also the operating system so keep it tuned here we are here at Google i/o 2014 so drop us some likes on our videos and subscribe so you can keep up with all of the great coverage because we are your source for all things Google i/o
