Samsung Galaxy Gear

Any of you planning on getting it?

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. Guess I have to see it in person. But here are some pics of it: http://www.engadget.com/gallery/samsung-galaxy-gear-smartwatch-hands-on/945841/#!slide=945841

To be honest this looks pretty cool,but like you I would have to play with one. They probably want 5 million for one lol

Not sure i see the point in it.

I've read you need a Samsung phone for it to work and there is only one phone that it will work with atm. Do we really need Facebook alerts on ugly 'smart watches?'

The price is $300 i believe. I'd feel like an idiot wearing one. If you have a smartphone, which most people do, you don't need this. It's basically the same thing but on your wrist instead of in your pocket.

I currently use an iPod nano as a watch but without most of the features of the Gear. I hate having to take out my phone and having just to check who's calling, texting, email, whatever. If this watch is able to do that, I would have bought one. I'm waiting on Apple to bring out theirs next year.

I can see someone going into a meeting and all of the sudden hear that annoying FB alert tone and having to explain how he forgot to mute his watch...

But seriously, I do not see myself getting a smart watch. I bought a G-Shock just because I need a durable watch. I don't need to be getting screenshields and cases for a dang watch...

Bet the functionality is crap! And how small will the burtona be? LOL

300 bux just to avoid taking your phone out? LOL.

Might as well burn your money.

I can see there being laws like "You can't check your smart watch while driving".

It's really just adding another distraction to a driver... especially the future version of the spoiled little brats you see today that are 4 and have an iPad.

Like I said, I already use mine as a watch. The other features would be a bonus.
