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?

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

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?

I don't know if this fits here but I heard you can have a chip implanted in your brain that would allow you to play music without headphones.

before my dad got me an apple watch SE, i had a budget watch that was ok but had a pretty unusable app that i had to connect with. I had to keep opening the app just to fix the time and it's annoying

also about the apple watch SE, i don't have an up to date phone that would connect to my watch so it had to be a family watch connected to my dad's phone, so i don't have the full apple watch experience

Has anyone tried Augmented Reality (AR) glasses? If so, could you explain what it was like?

EDIT: I didn't look at the second page with a whole discussion about that XD

oh yeah my dad was talking about that! that sounds so weird like your brain would feel the waves or something and it would be super high quality. i wish i could see how it is but i dont want to pay thousands of dollars and get a chip in my brain!!!!

gehehe i revived the discussion from 2013 ^_^

Wait this topic was dead for like, 11 years and 2 months. Sheesh
