Galaxy Gear

Does anyone have the Galaxy Gear to go with their Galaxy Note 3? If so, 1) How do you like it? and 2) How useful do you really find it? I'm thinking about it, but I sure would like some input on it. Watching several videos, it appears to be a 50-50 situation.

Hello mortb!

Thanks for your interest in Galaxy Gear! Samsung Galaxy Gear is elegant tech that you wear like a watch. It communicates with your Galaxy Note 3, providing a stylish and powerful way for you to see important notifications, as well as take phone calls, shoot photos and video and even count your steps. It's awesome! Here's a link that shows all the information you'll need about this great new accessory for the Note 3! http://vz.to/GQpOZX

I got the Gear to go with my Note 3; I actually like it because If i am driving in the car and not able  to reach my cell, I can accept the call while driving from the Gear.  For me, it is helpful.   I like the other features such the S voice to respond back to a text or to make phone calls during non driving.   situations.  These are just a few of the features that I use the most.

Broke down and got a Galaxy Gear to go along with my Galaxy Note 3. Yes, I love it. I can't wait for more apps to become available. One suggestion, it should be strongly said that so far, the Gear only can work with the Note 3 and the tablet Note 10.1. I had a friend come over the other day to show off his new "watch." However, he complained that he couldn't really use it. I had to give him the bad news that it will not, he has an Apple I-phone. He told me that he didn't know. I think that people who want to purchase a Galaxy Gear should be asked what phone (or tablet) they currently have, and if they do not have a compatible instrument be informed that the Gear will not work. If they still want to buy one, they know the score, so sell them one. I bet more people would say, "Thank you for the info, I didn't know."
