You know, I have never really had a craving for a smartwatch. Or a real need. But suddenly the Samsung Gear 2 really appeals to me on both a personal and a professional level. The Gear 2 comes out on April 11th, and I can definitely see myself sporting it.
What do YOU think?
EDIT: I guess as a disclaimer I should note that the Gear 2 doesn't run Android... therefore I can't anticipate that it'll have its own forum here. So I guess I'll just post here as another off-topic sort of thing.

Sounds like my Casio Pathfinder. Giant, ugly watch that I love so much.
And that's the benefit of it, Pup. You can go ANYWHERE in the country and be under that satellite's footprint. My point wasn't that you couldn't travel anywhere and keep the same station: that's the one thing it's good at.
My point was this: you subscribed to how many channels? And actually listened to how many of them?
If there was a way to subscribe to JUST those 2 or 3 stations I'd actually listen to without having to pay for all the others, then sign me up! But it's just not making sense to me at the price point they want to charge for all of it.
The A La Carte Package - SiriusXM Radio
Actually Chief, when I commuted 60 miles each way for work, I had a subscription. I enjoy sports talk radio, so it was to be able to listen to a conversation continually without having to constantly find new stations. I think a lot of truckers subscribe as well, at least a lot of them called in when I used to listen.
I can tolerate listening to NFL games if I can't watch them for working in the field so it's perfect (mainly because I was using so much satnet streaming the games on Sunday Ticket). But I also love Howard Stern. And now they have the download service so if I miss a show I can download it I think its almost every show that comes on.
So it says I would need a special a la carte radio? Boy I hope the new car comes with that! If not, I guess I'm stuck with the $10/mo and suffer without my channels. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...

Chief, I imagine that watch will be rather pricey, but at least you have a compatible phone.
So you got to buy a new radio(or car ) if you want the a la carte subscription, instead of the all or nothing ones? No software upgrade for your existing radio? Sounds a bit crummy, isn't it?

There was this kid that was seriously scratching the heck out of his head for like 20 minutes. Like scratching his head into his hat and he kept looking at it. Its freaking gross dude.

That's what happens. I just hope it does not snow anymore.
Actually Bread, they're predicting a list price of $299. Considering what all it does, I don't think that's a bad deal at all. What do you think?

The original Gear was $350? Either way, I wouldn't spend that much mostly considering how fast Samsung already dropped the first gen. and perhaps how soon the next one will come out (maybe with the Note 4?). My Pebble does everything I want a smartwatch to do and it's getting constant support despite being "so" old.
