The Samsung Gear Live video review!

Of the two Android Wear smartwatches currently available, the [Samsung Gear Live](/samsung-gear-live “Samsung Gear Live” arguably is the better looking. A few more curves, with a little extra through put into the overall design, and a high-resolution display, it’ll be the one that turns heads.

But as we found out in our full review of the Gear Live, it does have a few idiosyncrasies that you’ll want to be aware of. Namely that custom straps don’t look quite as good as what’s on the watch when you buy it. Samsung does make them easy to remove, though, so there’s that.

Above is our video review of the Gear Live. Stay tuned for so much more on Android Wear.

From the Editor’s Desk: Priorities …

Important life lesson: Take a little time away every now and then, even from the things you love to do. Do something else. Or do nothing. Just be sure to do something different. For me the past few weeks, taking a little break from this column meant a few things after three consecutive weeks traveling. It meant less time worrying about phones, and worrying about work. It meant spending Sunday morning wrestling with the kids instead of spending an hour or so in front of the computer. It meant going to Pensacola Beach, something we’re making more of an effort to do this year. (“Why bother living here if we don’t go?” my nearly (she’s make me say) 8-year-old Mia asked as we waded through ridiculously clear water.)

And it meant seeing Jerry take the initiative to write up his own thoughts on Google I/O. If there’s one thing I love as an editor, its seeing a fire lit under writers. For Jerry, that’s developer conferences, among other things.

But we’re back, and we’re as busy as ever. We’ve got the Android L Developer Preview to play with. (More on that in a minute.) We’ve got Android Wear to, erm, wear. We’ve got the LG G3 finally on sale here in the U.S. (And I’ve got some thoughts on that, too.)

So let’s play catch-up with some random thoughts this fine summer morning.
