Stuff we had lying around. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Samsung
Galaxy Gear
Samsung’s new smart watch, the
Galaxy Gear, dons a rather stylish
solid metal construction and a
rubber strap in one of a variety of
colours. It features a 1.63-inch
Super AMOLED 320 x 320 screen,
which is also bright enough to read
in direct sunlight. On the strap is
a 1.9-megapixel camera that takes
fairly decent pictures. The watch also
allows users to take calls, send texts
and perform other tasks from your
wrist without touching your phone –
provided your phone is within reach.
It is designed to pair with the Galaxy
Note 3 and while it can be used solo,
a fair amount of its features become
redundant. Samsung has also
promised extending connectivity
beyond this to other devices in its
range, including the Galaxy S4 and
Galaxy Note 2.
