  1. I own and wearing it right now the Gear 2 Neon. For the 1st week I was skeptical and I thought it was a waste of money. After the 1st week I realized how much I use it. After a month, I cant live without one. I am not allowed to use my phone at work or on the road and the watch allows me to know who is calling, who is texting me, and tells me exactly what email I just received. This and more. So yes, I love them and can't wait till they make them more powerful. 

  2. "exciting…  potentially"  why do people get so "excited" about such boring hideous junk yard, landfill destined gadgetry anyways?  so SAD!  my goodness me!

  3. How is the iWatch so innovative if it doesn't even exist yet? This sort of baffles me? Will Ive been waiting for cool stuff like this since Star Trek…

  4. Why do people bash the galaxy gear? Theyre the reason the smartwatch even exists and is popular, the I watch is going to be lame just like all of apples other bullshet. I have a galaxy gear and I am in love with it.

  5. now the goverment can keep track of you with this wearable device that contains an rfid chip you will rarely take off your wrist , get out your credit card sheep

  6. I have the Gear 2, it's pretty awesome, probably a bit expensive for what it is, but I love it, it blows everyone's mind when they find out it has a camera and a tv remote in it 😛 Hopefully more useful watch specific apps come out soon to make it feel a bit more worth the purchase cost, but otherwise I'm really happy with it, would recommend 🙂

  7. I don't think the watch itself should have a camera, but being able to control the camera on the phone it's linked to can be a powerful tool. 

    My biggest question is that since it links via blutooth, can I leave my phone in my car where I get reception at work but be able to go into my work building where I don't get reception and have them still linked where I would get my notifications that way? 

  8. So gay!!! I just wasted my 10min because you guys don't even talked about sony smartwatch 2!!! The best wearable available in the market, with less bazel (not like pebble shit and galaxy gear) thinner and cheaper in price. And Sony smartWatch 2 has 7 days battery timing with support of millions of Android phones

  9. Ok… i'm pretty sure these guys don't know what consumers want. I'm pretty sure that people WANT to have a stand alone watch that does everything a smartphone does and MORE. I can see the toughest part to this is working with micro circuitry but that's just a matter of time. this will be the next big niche for techies.
