At the mo it is a good handsfree. Nice notification tool when phone is in your pocket. It also tells the time lol. Has a built in pedometer, camera for quick snaps and records a quick burst. Seems to be getting support for some apps too. Battery life looking at 2 full days, depends on your usage.

Yep, whatsapp, bbm, you name it.
I installed my favourite email client (K-9). Supports that also now.
Basically any app you have on your phone

It goes like this, man! When you get the Gear 2.0, they'll have already started with Gear 3.0.
No time like the present!

True that. I already want the Note 4.

If they'd have told me that when I got my N3 a month ago I'd have definitely taken a Gear as well. Sigh.

And what kind of notification does it give you? Can you see who sent you a message and what it says? On WhatsApp for example...
Yeah got the update for phone and gear last week. Update for gear is awesome, don't need to use 3rd party notification app.
And yes......can see who sent message and read message. Have option to view on device and it automatically opens message on phone once you hit that button

Grrrrrrr. That is precisely what I wanted. :/
Can you get the Gear from VC on its own without having to spend a ridiculous amount to buy it cash?
Not sure. But yeah its getting better as time goes on.
Thinking about rooting it and then becomes even more functional.

Yes, you can see who sent and also read the entire message (unless it's too long)
You can also reply to sms'es. It has few preset messages or you can use S-Voice

/grumble.
I'm not shelling out 3k for it. But I would've added it to my ctc gladly for 150 a month or whatever. Sigh. And more grumbling.

Just hang in there. I'm sure you'll get a couple going cheap on Gumtree or Junkmail. There's always someone who gets tired of it quickly, or gets it on upgrade and doesn't want it

Maybe I can still add it to my contract.
R150 a month seems much more palatable than 3k+ up front for a device I definitely don't need

Correct. Ask them to add it to your contract. You may need to pay a little more to complete it within 24 months.

Do report back on that.
