Galaxy Gear
 

Looks like an iPod.

I liked it, worth a try :). So that is three Samsung devices on preorder 2x Galaxy Note3, 1 Galaxy Gear :D

I think that when touch screen watches come out which are able to run apps, etc, then technology has gone too far.

Seriously, only complete b3llends would wear a watch like that. Watches should have automatic mechanical movements, not the latest chipset....

Meh. IF I wanted to look like a complete nerd, and HAD to have this type of gadget, I think I'd go for the Sony one, as it's better.

BUT I find the whole thing tacky.

These watches will be such a flop, I can't see them making money. You heard it here first.

Samsung Smart Watch
 

Think it'll be normal normal to wear something like this in 1-2 years?

Been wearing one for the last 8 months although not Samsung. Informs me of calls, texts, emails, weather......

Saves touching the phone anywhere near as much.

Agreed, just another gimmick.

That's at least 50 sales to Scoobynet NSR posters then ;)

I bet you've pre-ordered 5

No. There's a thread like this in the technology section. Anyone who wears a touch screen smart watch is a b3llend. Watches should be automatic mechanical, not have the latest chipset...

Think its more to do with fashion these days,not about craftsmanship.The youngsters will probably go for it...

Experienced words indeed from someone who has just discovered karts! :lol1:

My Smartwatch, albeit not touchscreen, is a great tool as an extension to my phone tucked away. You can quite easily prioritise when to bother going for your phone or not.

What's the battery life going to be like, sure it will need charging every day.

This sums it up nicely.

Drop it once and that will be that no doubt

Does your phone not make a sound to attract your attention - most do.

Cool, want one.

I used to love Joe 90.:D

Looks like an ipod to me ;)

Nope, the phone is always on vibrate as all my phones have been for 29 years. The watch then vibrates on your wrist and it is powerful, much more so than modern phone vibration.

29 years, are you sure? I reckon you've got your dates mixed up a bit.
As far as I'm aware you couldn't have "vibrate" on a mobile phone 29 years ago. The only mobile network around then was the system 4, used for car phones.
The first hand held mobile phone network started Jan 1985. Even so, I don't think "vibrate" was an option till much later.

You knew you were one of the 50 then? :Whatever_

I did mean mobile phones for that length of time but as for vibrate, as soon as it was available. Never been a fan of ringtones. My dad had a car phone before that where an operator forwarded the calls, often a day later. :freak3:

:lol:

Hmmm, nice firm grip and :norty:

I think you will look a right wanker wearing one of these. Its reminds me of over twenty years ago when iI got my first mobe phone, none of my friends or even that many peoe had one and the stick i used to get over the phone. This watch will be right up there on the ahopping list of peoe who say bought google glasses ffs.

All the people on here saying you'll look a tosser wearing one, will wear one in two years time after Apple have perfected it and Samsung have copied it.

I can't even tell the time so pointless

Nope, I'd rather stick to my rolex :thumb: :Whatever_

Looks really good if you want to play Dick Tracy.

I might invest in one, very handy.... mind the pun :D
