        There are three big changes: IP67, changeable bracelet and integrated HRM.If I understand correctly the watch will have mp3 player and that means that you can copy files directly to/from the watch, in Gear it is not possible without rooting/additional software.Only worry is about compatibility. Why the hell they they didn't offer compatibility wiyh all devices with Bluetooth 4.0 at least under android?

                Because a smartwatch needs a quad core processor to work efficiently and it needs 1 gb ram doesn't it,cuz how else will it play high end games smoothly,
                Also,smear watches were totally popular in 2011,I doubt they were existent -_-

                  IP67 is good, but still no on-board GPS?! Still a "no go".

                          Fantastic! But the Tizen is a bit worrisome. I planned to install Minuum keyboard. Let's see what the actual will offer.

                                    Wow, nothing like the original? The changes in design & specs are mind numbing. Sanyo really brought their A game this time around! Just whoa!

                                      Dual-core 1GHz and 512MB of RAM, 277 ppi pixel density could have passed for a flagship in 2011!
