Please, give a bit of Objectivity:
Good points to Samsung Gear:
1-Its an Smarwatch powered by android 4.3, that means a lot of software will be developed for it.
2-Powerful Interactive Notification System with Up Level Integration (only fewAndroid 4.3 devices).
3- HANS FREE FUNCTION (or Hand Up acually makes more sense), it's an good selling point.
4- Amoled Screen, looks awesome.
Bad:
1- Maybe pricey, 300$ stand alone seems much, but most Dumb "STYLE" Watches cost more than that. Whatever still pricey.
2- Battery: 24h maybe a No-No for some users, while most others actuall reomves they waches every nigth will be comfortable.
So-So:
1.9 Mp Camera... mmm maybe useful for some Papparazi videos... so 
Bulk: It's an BIG Watch, some will love, some will hate, it's an personal likely.
I consider (As actually promoted) as an effective partner for the new Galaxy Note 3.
I'm as Galaxy S4 Owner, I'm very impressed, but not cosidering to run to buy it, maybe for Xmas if some app does rise the gap.
--------------------
Other Annoucements:
Galaxy Note 3: as the Galazy S4 just an little improvement over previous model, while touchwhiz  was hugely improved, is not an radical evolution as The Note 2 was on Note 1, btw it's and very good device, very useful on its ow niche.
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014: At Last a real Rival for Retina iPad, the S-Pen it's an god feature, but as every 2560x1600 has very few optimized app for this huge screen, while S-Pen and basic apps add an awesome value over iPad, the lack of optimized 3rd party apps still an issue, but as Hardware is the very first rivaling the iPad retina with superior specs and the Digitizer which gives great value for artists.

Only thing needs Apple/Peebble to do with SG, is to add hands free funtion to its devices.
