Are you into Smartwatches? - TPhoenix - 02-18-2014
Smartwatches are a new wave of technology that companies like Samsung and Pebble are beginning to expand on. They aren't your basic watches that you buy from your watch store. They come with much more techy capabilities, giving you great convenience in features such as checking your notifications (text, email, social media updates), voice command, answering and making calls, camera, music controller, scheduler, alarm, GPS navigation, pedometer and a lot more from various apps that you can possibly download for it. You get all this slapped onto your wrist without having to pull out your phone at any given time when that is inappropriate or not possible. Do any of you guys own a smartwatch? Are any of you interested in the concept of a smartwatch and look to get one later?

Oh, I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Gear, which I think it is a very nice gadget to have. However, since I don't use a Samsung smartphone anymore, I sold my smartwatch. I'm planning to get a smartphone in which not only it is compatible with Android, but as well as IOS and other mobile OS.

Nope. I love my simple yet efficient watch. Costed 15 bucks and gets the job done.

I'm gonna pick up an iWatch when it comes out.

Oh, $15?? That is a good idea right there! I cannot find a regular one that cheap.

I currently own the Samsung Galaxy gear and I love it... other people love it too. They're always freaking out when they see me taking pictures of them. It's pretty great.

Gear looks tempting but not sure if I'd want to risk losing or damaging a $300 watch yet...
May get a Pebble though.

It's kinda hard to do all of the above.. You have a "Find my Gear" option on the phone, and vise versa on the watch. Pebble seems a little too low tech for me.
