    Crazy idea., 23 Feb 2014Just add a sim card slot, and make it a phone and be done ... moreDamn, yeah! If call feature was in this too, and works all day (but I'd doubt that with the battery) then Samsung has a winning new category of smartwatch.

      So what's the point of a watch with a low battery?

        Since Gear 2 is Tizen. Who knows S5 might be the first Tizen phone. It won't be surprise if it is. Samsung work so long on it and by using it Samsung will be free from Google. It is good to see another OS though.

        The leak circle flat look is some how similar like all previous leak Tizen OS also.

        Tizen will be success if it is smooth, friendly, battery lover, and good support from developer.

                    This is a sign... Tizen instead pure Android on next gear? Things are getting hot between Samsung and Google?!

                      This watch can't use Wechat or QQ, or give us any chat information.. So the watch is worthless to use in Asia, its just a gimic..i promised myself not to fall for anymore Samsung gimics

                          The hate is strong with this one.
                          I commend Samsung from moving out of android into tizen. Innovation is sorely lacking with android, ios and windows.
                          Go Samsung....

                                Strong indicator that next flagship will be Tizon. Galaxy word was missing in the invite. I actually want the OS to push other OS to innovate. WP actually is one pushing itself out of comfort zone if the rumored list of features is real

                                  AnonD-194593, 23 Feb 2014Absolutely Because a smartwatch needs a quad core process... moreSmartwatches should never use quad core processor.

                                  They should use quad cell battery instead, charge once every month or two.
