Looks like "Honey, I shrunk the smartphone" then I put a watch strap on it.

I used to like the idea of a device fitted to the wrist, but now think the ergonomics of a full sized device will prove to be too prohibitive - maybe this smartwatch will have the answers?

Looks like someone from Samsung has taken an old Galaxy Ace or equivalent and just stuck it in a fancy strap (plus added some sensors). Not very impressive.

I wonder what people said when the pocket watch was shrunk to wrist proportions! How could something so large and ungainly ever be warn on ones wrist etc.

That said, no way in hell I'd buy one of these

Targeting health and fitness fans with this device seems logical, if the price is right I can see it sell ok.

Am I missing something? 10 hour+ battery life? So they expect you to charge your watch twice a day? I know its got plenty of gadgets and sensors going on but thats pointless if you can't get a days life out of it.

haahaahaa...no.

Silly Samsung.
