Sick to death of hearing about watches that will talk to your gadgets? So am I, but at least here is one that’s actually going to be made and be available for purchase.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear watch is a voice operated apendage to your smart device, it weighs 73,8 grams (let’s not get started on how pretentious and unnecessary it is to list the weight of a watch) and has a 40mm color screen.

There’s nothing in this watch that you haven’t been teased with before. It’s got downloadable apps, a 1,9MP camera and it alerts you when you’ve received a call or a message on your phone.

The watch also has a built-in speaker for those times when your hands are occupied and you want to irritate people around you and be inaudible to the person you’re talking to because the receiver is too far away from your mouth. But, when you think about it, there is another, very frequent human activity that ties up your hands and places the watch (unobstructed) directly in line with your mouth. Ummm…driving. Hello!

Of course that will make our roads safer, and who wants that?

It’s coming in Black, Mocha Grey, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold and Lime Green. All the colors of the hipster rainbow.
