I think Samsung both wants to gain a huge chunk of the smart watch marketshare as well as take away from the massive WOW factor when Apple finally releases their product, which may not come out for another year.
Yeah, except it won't do that. In fact the gear is so crappy it will make any watch Apple releases (if they do) look far better by comparison. Like the MS Slate nonsense, they tried to enter the market before Apple defined it for them.
Speaking of copying, or rather copyright, I wonder how much time it took to obtain the rights to reuse all of those clips.
We first have to assume Samsung took the time to obtain rights for all those clips. That's a pretty hard to accept without question* considering Samsung's history.
* What's the appropriate Latn? Sine dubitatione or irrefragabiliter?
PS: I thought Samsung wasn' going to push this watch. I thought it was just a shipping proof-of-concept for the few idiots that would buy it. This ad says otherwise.
The one thing the ad does not make very clear is that their watch only works with the Note 3 at this time. Sure, there's the tiny print at the end of the ad but I can see people buying this thing only to find out they can't use it with their S3s or S4s.

Word is that Android 4.3x will roll out to S3's and S4's sometime in the next week or two, enabling those devices with Sammy's watch too. We'll see if it happens.
Anyway, this Samsung ad is truly pathetic, and I would expect no less from a bunch of talentless hacks, serial copycats and criminals. Fandroids absolutely disgust me and I equate Android as being worse than garbage.
And that watch of theirs is a big joke, it's butt ugly, it's getting slammed in all reviews, and it's not going to sell well.
Apple does all the work, Samesung reaps reward by copying everything Apple. I strongly believe Samsung assumes Apple would use this type of Ad for the new iWatch and decided to take it for themselves. Typical Samesung...heh.
Yeah, except it won't do that. In fact the gear is so crappy it will make any watch Apple releases (if they do) look far better by comparison. Like the MS Slate nonsense, they tried to enter the market before Apple defined it for them.
TheVerge, a site that is basically sponsored by Samsung (MASSIVE Samsung paged sized ads all the time) gave the Galaxy gear a 4/10. So yeah, the product is complete shit, a under-developed product that was rushed to market so secure the FIRST! label, a cynical move by a company that doesnt take pride in their products, doesnt respect their consumers, and doesnt give a shit about producing something of quality.
If by "next big thing", they're referring to that giant turd that they think people will want to wear on their wrists, then yeah, it's the next big thing.

1) Did they obtain the rights?
2) And why is there a camera on the phone when carrying a Note 3 is mandatory?
Don't answer those; time will tell.
Steal , copy, bribe, mislead
Number 2 I can answer. Samsung, like other myopic vendors, think adding features is more important than adding usability.
I wonder how things go during Samsung meetings.. "Hey, let's copy that Apple <insert Apple product>".
Who said Sammy even obtained the rights?
Samsung could get mileage by reviving the "Intel Inside" ads, as in "Samsung Inside" the iPhone.

Not really. The A7 is an Apple chip, it's Apple designed, and Samsung just happens to be the bums that manufacture some stuff for Apple.
Samsung can not put an A7 chip in their Android phones, as it's not their chip, and that's why the iPhone blows away all Android phones.
