Well DAMN.

(I thought)

It’s happening. I mean it’s HAPPENED. They finally did it. Just like depicted in the classics we all know: The Jetson’s, The Power Rangers, Inspector Gadget, Predator, and Star Trek…

“Now your ordinary tasks become extraordinary” with the Samsung Galaxy Gear. Dropping mid-2013, this ‘not-so-regular’ 4-gigabyte timepiece was introduced into Samsung’s Galaxy family. In-sync to the Galaxy Note III (amongst other Galaxy devices), this piece sets some VERY high standards for others in their league – Sony SmartWatch 2 and The Pebble.

It definitely took long enough, but who would have THUNK it?! Thanks to Samsung, you may now have the REAL luxury of technology at the swipe of the wrist – so you thought.

I first seen this commercial and was immediately intrigued! They were able to get my attention – hold my interest – arouse my desire, and I was ready to call AT&T for an upgrade to the Galaxy Note III just to have this stupid thing! But the commercial didn’t do ENOUGH for me. I had question that needed answered. And upon seeking those answers, I found that this is in its EARLIEST stages of development and it may take a few more versions & dates before I’m ready to take action on a purchase.

It is NOT to be misunderstood; the main use of this device is to notify you of what’s happening with your phone. You can receive text messages and reply to them using S Voice, but other notifications must be handled on your handheld (send & receiving emails, Facebook/Twitter updates, etc.).This device does replace the use of your handheld – you’ll definitely need it nearby to put use to any of its features. The commercial kind of puts you under the impression that you can just leave your handheld device at home & use this wrist piece instead.

Even though I have an iPhone, I DO believe that Samsung went about having me believe that the right product was available to me at the right place and the right price. But fashion & fad can only get you so far, this commercial lacks SO MUCH information that is imperative for potential buyers to have. The more research that I did into this device the more I believed if I would have taken immediate action after seeing this commercial, I would have experienced some MAJOR dissonance. They TOTALLY forgot what the 3 basic promotion objectives were with this one.
