I actually got to try out the Samsung Gear in person yesterday. I was surprised by the lack of build quality; the screws and such are quite ugly and they look old, not a good choice on Samsung's part. Although, I was pleasantly surprised by the basic app system (although it could be better). Camera wasn't terrible either. Price and design are biggest cons.

I heard it only works with a limited number of apps, is this true?

Check out the NEW PROBEHEAD ALBUM!

I think that's true, but I don't know for sure.
It can't possibly work with the larger apps, right?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to emit a beacon of light from my seeing orbs.

Yeah I saw no app store so unless there's a system of plugging it into your computer to download apps then no.

I have a digital watch…
That's it.

But I've seen one of those iPod Nano (old, square touch-screen ones) on a wristband, and it seems clunky.

Something you just can't do athletics with (especially swimming).

Not that clunky if you get a good holder for your wrist. But yeah you can't swim with it.

You could water-proof it.

What if there was some sort of technology in contact lenses - think glass, but on top of your eye.
Creepy.

What do you think of RFID implants?
