I assume it will take some time for this to develop properly, but with the speed of Android and Samsung productivity ... this could be very fun:

Have you seen any price-points yet? Going to get it right away or wait for V2 ?

 

[wardmundy]

Are you kidding? Wait? My desk looks like a watch graveyard. What's one more.

Speaking of your butt ugly sister... Really? Is this it?? Seriously??? Just cut my arm off.

Looks like they didn't opt for OLED if thats the end result.

If that's the end result .... then my swiss time-piece is safe.

That thing reminds me of the first plastic calculator watches. I sure do hope that's not legit. Nobody would buy that ugly POS

Just saw the watch on CNBC and it is one BUTT UGLY FAIL ... so disappointing.

$300 -- FAIL!!! What a waste for Samsung.

I'm waiting for my AGENT watch from Kickstarter project.. looking very good. Full SDK out, you can write apps now on emulator.
Smart -- it's a combo of a .Net MicroFramework shop and a watchmaker.

I had a meeting today with Samsung to view the new Note3 (very nice) and also the Galaxy Gear. The Gear looked nicer with a better band on it than the one above, but still a fail IMO compared to the one we had hoped for, so I will definitely be waiting for Rev2. The Note-3 ... that might be a different story. Think Galaxy S4 with a larger screen.

Think large price tag. Wife already ordered the new iPhone 5S. Something about surprise and working so hard.

Now that I've been sucked in on the flexible screen and know that they're working on it with patents completed ... anything less will not be an option for me. Give me the model shown at the top of this page, and then I'm in.

Krzykat - just picked up the Note 3 and I have to say it is very nice and a definite step up from my Note 2. It is somehow larger in the screen and smaller and lighter than the 2. Bria works great on it so far.

How Long Must We Wait For a Stylish Smartwatch?

Amen!

 

[krzykat]

Let's see what Apple comes up with, as they need to really knock one out of the park to attract more than just the people that believe in the Apple religion

otherwise, Samsung is going to walk over them. Personally, I'm a Samsung person, so I will be waiting for probably a year or two before the one I want is made.

until it acts like a Star Trek insignia and lets me 'tap to talk' or use a gesture... I don't want it... I can just as easily glance at my phone.

I don't wear a watch (or know what's "stylish" anymore) but I think this looks attractive: http://agentwatches.com/

I've also been interested in the Pebble watch for some time. Though, it looks a little rough around the edges I suppose. https://getpebble.com/
