AT&T has been taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch since midnight. The price of the watch is $299.99 and one of the best selling points is that since the watch is paired with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 via Bluetooth, no monthly data plan is required (except for the Galaxy Note 3).
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch will let you answer calls and read messages right on your wrist. It’s finally the future! Want a reminder about a meeting? Just type it in the Galaxy Note 3’s calendar and be reminded. Yeah, it’s not all sunshine and roses though. It will only work with the latest version of Samsung’s phablet, which is a more expensive phone. There is also the low battery life to consider. It won’t come close to being worn the whole day without a recharge.
Despite it’s drawbacks, this is just a kind of trial in a way. Version one. Other versions will improve on battery life and other aspects of the smartwatch. If you are into what it offers, you can now pre-order it.
