Edit: comment based on wrong assumption. As Mark explains in comments, this is not an android device. I wonder what the second button is used for. I love those, android wear especially plays well with the huge google ecosystem and the always getting better voice commands. My main problem with them is the usual android problem: if you buy an OEM device, you will receive android updates for 2 years max. Sadly, there are no nexus watches, for now.

@oelmekki i never keep a device longer than 2 years so it's not really an issue (for me). Typically, I only keep it for a year then i get something different. Obviously, this isn't the case for most people, so I understand the frustration. :(

@oelmekki The Gear 3 doesn't run on android wear, it runs on Samsung's on OS - Tizen OS. Which can either be a good thing or bad.

@mark_donne Wow, really? My bad, I just assumed all OEMs building smartwatches and mobiles on android used android on smartwatches as well. Thanks for info! Edit: so, my comment still stands, but just not in this thread :D

Looks amazing. Samsung did a great job with the S7 and Note7. They are on a roll right now.

@asharq I think the uninteresting design (aesthetically speaking -- the rotating bezel as a UX element is actually pretty cool) and the bulkiness of the watch explain the low vote count pretty well...I'd be surprised if people were truly excited about this product
