Seriously do they have to get Jason Bradbury for all these things. He's the most annoying presenter ever...

September 25th Release date...
Thanks. Watching it now.
Leather back is interesting. Very BB. My old Bold had it.
I'm glad Samsung is dumping the rounded edges.
Gonna wait until January or so to get the Note 3, but the watch, I'll get next month. I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a Pebble for a while now.

Just throw EVERYTHING in there lmao, samsung pls
Yeah was kind of waiting for S-Kitchen Sink app.....
To be honest they need to concentrate on making some of their apps a lot better. S-health is the most inaccurate piece of junk for example, and the new scrapbook thing just seems to be glorified evernote with a pen to select a page for copying ?
Still I'll give it a try if I get the opportunity. But as it currently stands on my S4 I pretty much don't use any of Samsung's apps as I find them all a bit hokey - with better alternatives already available.
Yeah seems mental were now developing devices so that we don't have to look at the big ass screen device that we just released ? That goes for the iWatch too.
Just more options on how to use our devices depending on the situations. I think it's a good thing.
A smart watch done right will be about more than simply getting notifications so you don't have to look at your phone....
I'm starting to find it almost offensive how terrible their on-screen design still is, while they continue to come up with all this great tech. TouchWiz is still ugly enough to make a grown man cry, the new S-Note looks confusing despite all its cool new functionality and even the little icons and clock typeface on that watch makes the whole product seem cheap.
Get. A. ************. Competent. Design. Chief. NOW!!!!!!

I've been saying that for ages here...... Design ethos across its GUI is very bad. Like every element is designed by a different 'team' all taking design cues by a committee of non designers. There is no tangible unison in Touchwiz.
Thank god for third party launchers....
(though they can not solve the whole GUI problem - they go some way)The Verge Live Stream said:
Hopefully that can be improved or just Touchwiz causing stutters again ?
The Samsung chap is quite good looking....
Good stuff so far. Samsung are stealing my heart and my money.

Looks like they're bringing something very similar to Blinkfeed. Hopefully, we can turn this crap off

And the watch is only compatible with Note 3 and 10.1 for now. wtf

I'm looking forward to a watch that incorporates NFC (or some other form of payment making) and that ties back to your phone as a sort of "double check" security system. I would find it much easier and more efficient a wallet-replacement to use something already strapped to my wrist versus something I still have to pull out of my pocket. Again, the watch and phone work in tandem to provide a double-layered security. Someone steals your watch? Won't work without the phone. Someone steals your phone? Won't work without the watch.....obviously there are other settings one would be able to utilize as well for added security.
The watch could also act as a biometric sensor and provide security for your device itself. So if you wear the watch, you never have to enter a password so long as the phone is within an acceptable distance. Bring the phone outside that distance and the passcode will have to be entered.
Other things built into phones like step trackers, heart monitors etc would be better suited for a watch-like device. I also would love to see some form of anti-theft/anti-loss software that essentially will remind you if your phone is out of range of the watch (all customizable of course, if you decide not to wear the watch that day or you let someone else borrow your phone etc).
Support for iTunes Match (speaking specifically about an iWatch) would be a given with bluetooth support - IMO the BIGGEST oversight for the iPod nano EVER. Ideal for runners and working out.
These are just a few of the things I've read about and come up with. IMO the best uses are ones I and no one else has thought of. A watch that alerts you of notifications really is the simplest and most boring way Samsung could've gone. I'd expect more out of the "throw it all at the wall and see what sticks" company, but ehh. They wanted to get it to market before Apple I'd assume.
Oh and it would tell time and provide a bunch of different styles - a pseudo transparent one would be kick-ass!
Note 3 sounds neat. More back cover customization is cool - I wondered why they didn't have more than just the standard plastic and cover backs.....different materials is neat.
