Sold my S4 on ebay for $400. Got the note 3 for $270 out the door at bestbuy. (Am on Sprint and phone costs $350 with them) got the Gear for $315 with tax so both only cost me $185. I am THRILLED and loving both devices!

so i'm totally waffling about my gear. found myself taking it off tonight since it is uncomfortable to wear and type on my laptop and then thought, why am i trying to force myself to like or use this. i guess when it comes down to it i enjoy messing with the watch face....talking on the phone through it is ok but feel the need to keep my arm raised upwards....the notifications are ok but really not that super functional. also the size and fit are a bit problematic for me, one setting is just a tiny bit tight and the next is too floppy.
at $100 i'd probably hang onto it, but at $299......just not worth it for me, at least not yet....i don't know what they could add to it that would change my mind, but i guess i'll know it when i see it.....
I don't think so!!
Checking back, did you return it and get a refund???
I had it put back in it's box ready to return, box sealed and everything! the next day i was working on a project and could hear my phone ringing in the other room. i looked over at my boxed up gear and thought, crap if only I was wearing my watch i could answer the phone and continue working, instead I had to clear off my project pieces and go to the other room to retrieve my phone and check on the missed call,
needless to say i also broke the box back open an retrieved my gear at the same time,
I know it has it's drawbacks and frankly it needs wifi at least, but what it does do is useful and i am still enjoying and using it daily,
Bought one at Best Buy last week to go along with my Note 3. Figured that I have 15 days to play with the Gear to make up my mind whether I want to keep it or not.
Took me only one day to decide: this thing is a complete waste. Essentially, the Gear is a glorified bluetooth headset that can tell time, take a crappy photo and only show me incoming messages (I won't even say reply to them bc s-voice is an absolute disaster). Not only doesn't this watch add much value to using the Note 3, I honestly believe that it subtracts value because using it requires one to use an inferior screen and a much, much slower processor and overall speed than just using the Note 3.
Samsung should be ashamed considering that this 2013 and nearly 2014. As much as I hate Apple, they would never release such a useless and expensive prototype product like this with their name on it. I assure you that when they finally release their watch (which they will as will Google), it will smoke the Gear.
Needless to say, it is going back to Best Buy and the balance is instead going for a purchase that we all know will be impressive and satisfactory for this day in age - an Xbox One.
