Galaxy Gear Watch

[polaraman]

I have an opportunity to buy one of these watches for my Note 3 for probably $175. Should I? To me, it seems more like a novelty idea than anything else.

Who uses their Gear watch daily and for what for? How can I benefit from it?

Well at that price I would consider it. My understanding is the users either love or hate them.

For me the 300 price tag is what kills it. Well and the limited battery. It is basically good for a day or two depending on your use.

I think the majority of the posters here would grab it for under $200.

However, if you don't know what the Galaxy is, what it does, at least somewhat, why you want it?

I would grab it for $175.

I'm waiting to see the google smart watch coming out in a few weeks that will be compatible with all 4.3 phones..who knows,, it may be much better

Buy it, if a new (better) smartwatch comes out, sell the Gear. At $175, you're almost guaranteed to make a profit.

That is a good idea.

Go to Youtube and check the demos. I think it's a nice little trinket, but I wouldn't find much use for it.

I'd snatch it up for $175 in a heartbeat. After reading so much negativity about it I decided to try it for myself. I loved it! Sure it could improve but IMO it's a really well conceived extension to your phone.

175??? are you kidding me? grab one now lol

If it's brand new that may entice me .

I bought one to try out and I'm liking it very much.

I really like that I can keep the phone unlocked as long as I'm in Bluetooth range of the phone.

I like being able to choose whether I route a call to my handset or to my Bluetooth east piece right from the watch.

I like being able to see a text message on the watch.

I like being able to take an very quick photo.

I like being able to make a quick voice memo.

I like that it will vibrate if I walk away and leave my phone behind...

I love being able to skip songs in my play list easily while driving.

I like initiating calls from the watch and immediately rooting them to my earpiece right from the watch.

Lots of neat functions. My Rolex and omega have become a bit lonely.

I was just at sprint store,, worker ask me if I wanted a watch and I said "no way,, to expensive". He said he would give it to me for 40 percent off. I said hell ya.. 165.00 later charged to my sprint account and I actually love it

Does anyone know why I can't share photos right from gear? The option to share is faded out.

Wonder if I can get any sort of deal else where. I am on Verizon, or maybe time to find someone with Sprint.
