    I'll give it a miss.

     

    Wearing this watch made in 2000 at the moment worth around six Galaxy S5's, waterproof to 5000 feet, nice engineering.

     


    How many times a day did you look at it? Those pre smart phone days are like so Jurassic.

    Ooh! I got it. Digital sundial.

     

    No, stay with me. It has two ambient light sensors on opposite ends of the device to get stereo light from the sun so it knows what time of day it is. <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    That would be what, their 5th version in a year? **** this company. These are products that do nothing but make people hate and get cynical about technology, not to mention causing great confusing. Samsung, why don't you take a fucking breath, a time-out, go back to the drawing board, and spend time designing a quality, well thought out product, instead of shitting out a new smart-watch every 2 months in order to spam everyone and keep yourself in the news? Every smartwatch they've come out with thus far has had horrible reviews, and I feel bad for anyone who has went through the frustrating experience of owning one. Samsung epitomizes useless junk, and I think their from throwing shit at the wall has already peaked. When Apple releases a larger phone they will have no wow-factor anymore, and they'e already fallen desperately behind in such key areas such as CPU and biometrics. It's all downhill from here, and I hope they keep wasting R&D effort on shit like this.

    But I can understand your point, if I was kept under a hut built by Apple somewhere in usa I could be blinded too.



    Look somewhere else, try something else and enjoy it.



    There is a life without Apple.



    Samsung made cool product that will help you enjoy life.

     

    If you need a Samsung product to  "help you enjoy life", you have some serious fucking issues.

     

    But I'll excuse that, your english seems terrible, so I'm sure you meant to say something else. You have no excuse for such horrendous english if you're french Canadian. Maybe spend some time brushing that up, instead of wasting your energy trolling Apple boards.

    Brilliant marketing strategy from Samsung, squarely targeting the "awkward-antisocial-I-dont-know-how-to-talk-to-girls-so-maybe-if-I-impress-them-with-this-absurd-watch-I-have-a-chance-of-getting-laid" demographic. 

     

    But yeah, it's one of the most classless, despicably transparent "buy our product and you'll get fucked" ads I've ever seen. And its as if they tried their hardest to make that guy is fucking creepy as possible. Tough to choose which part is the most painful, but I'd have to say its the "I just dropped my phone 1 second ago, so instead of simply looking down and picking it up I'll **** with my watch for 30 seconds to make it beep".

    Your comment was so clever, that you had to post it twice using different words? Maybe not everyone wants to pull their phones out of their pockets, unlock the phone, and put it back in their pockets (or bag/jacket/etc) whenever they need to glance at the time? Even "jurassic" devices have their uses. Why does that offend you?

     

    Also, get rid of your useless and petty sig. Apple is not reading this forum, and will not be convinced to release an AppleTV from your signature- so who exactly are you directing it at? Noone can answer that question, o do everyone here a favor and stop forcing us to read that asinine line with every single one of your (also asinine) posts.

    Thank youso much to help me with my english.

     

    For now I am enjoying my 800$ PC computer. I just put the Samsung fastest memory in it with two Samsung SSD drive in raid 0 and it is so much faster than a 8,000$ Mac Pro that it make me very happy. 

     

    Happiness are some time not costly.

     

    Life is not a fight. Be cool, try Samsung technology, and enjoy.

    No I was talking about the only thing from Samsung that is remotely close to "cool".

     

    Their vacuum cleaners suck.

    It definitely isn't... Samsung seems to have forgotten that they already tried this before. In 2009 they launched the Watch Phone s9110.

    It failed miserably, just like this one probably will too.

    For shure their vacuum suck, they have been built for that. They are pretty good sucker. Let me introduce you the The Samsung Motion Sync Vacuum Cleaner. It features a Dust Sensor that signals a red light if it detects a dusty spot. As soon as the dust has been sucked up, the light changes to green, so you can quickly move on to clean the next spot.

     

    Have a nice day. Go for a walk. Listen to music directly from your Samsung Gear Smartwatch. Be cool.

    Agree, and also the fact that this is one of the most sexist ads I've seen. It assumes all girls are just completely stupid about technology. This screams cultural differences from Korea but packaged with an Amercian ribbon. Terrible assumptions and just plan off base.

    Is this the Dyson design inspired vac?

    Folks, an up close and personal look at where some of Samsung's marketing budget goes. Insanely sad.
