Samsung posts first ad for Galaxy Gear smartwatch [video]
- dannowatts 13y agothat looks incredibly awkward to use.
- benologist 13y agoLess awkward than the giant phones Samsung is making that the watch complements!
- waitwhatwhoa 13y agoMost tech ads seem to be in "show, don't tell" mode, which is probably a good approach. I have to say, I like the tack they took, simply explaining up front the features of the watch. If the watch weren't so ugly and taking your phone out of your pocket so easy, I might even entertain buying one.
- smegel 13y agoI have a feeling when/if Apple make an iwatch, it will be first and foremost a really nice watch.
- znowi 13y ago$300 is a little steep for this. One can probably buy a Nexus 5 for a bit more.
- aray 13y agoI agree the price is a bit steep, but it's not (directly) something you can trade out like that. If you have a smartphone, you can't spend $300 on a nexus 5 and get a wearable device :)
- huxley 13y ago$300 for a smartwatch might sound steep but this is actually just a $300 accessory for a recent Galaxy phone or phablet (so no good if you own a Nexus 5).
- rooshdi 13y agoLooks uncomfortable. A smartring may be better suited for usability down the line.
- abdophoto 13y agoGreat commercial for a poor product.
- hallowtech 13y agoI'm waiting for a Dick Tracy themed ad. Halloween is coming up after all... "Dick Tracy calling Joe Jitsu... calling Joe Jitsu" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vUxlc81K5RQ#t=28 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vUx...
- hayksaakian 13y agoIt's frustrating that with OLED screens, we still deal with an ugly rectangular block attached to a wrist. Why can't I have a sleek, circular screen? This is more like a phone trying to be a watch than a watch that is actually amazing in it's own right
- twiceaday 13y agoI think you've just predicted the shape of the iWatch.
- mlisbit 13y agoThe idea of people walking around with cameras on their wrist makes me feel a little uneasy. Also this hinders the strap irreplaceable, in terms of customization. In terms of features, I'd replace a lot of them for a smaller form factor.
