It does not take much research to conclude this gadget is not just lacking features, but will be a complete waste of time and money. It is a product with so much potential that you wonder why Samsung bothered to create something that is only a slight improvement on other devices in its class.
Nike has the Sportwatch GPS: http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/products/sport_watch/ I have tried this on at the Nike store at the Wrentham Outlets and was very impressed with its capabilities.
Motorola has MOTOACTV: http://www.motorola.com/us/MOTOACTV-16GB-Golf-Edition/121481.html
The older Apple Nano could be converted to a watch using third party straps.
What are the advantages of a smart watch? Conveniently on your wrist at all times making it easy to detect a notification vibration, answer a call, or check the time. They have pedometers and GPS trackers which allow for a better fitness experience.
What are the disadvantages of a smart watch? The price of having yet another gadget. The inconvenience of having to charge yet another gadget.
What is something that would push a large mass of consumers from the skeptical, tight-fisted shoppers that we are? Something that blows the expectations out of the water.
Samsung chose not to include a 4G SIM card. It chose not to include a front facing camera, a feature so obvious for those familiar with how smart watches are used in movies. It chose to exclude email and social networking support. CNET says voice support "hit and miss." See the full review here:
