You have one Scott?
No, Galaxy Gear here. But i have rooted it, and with the help of the folks at XDA flashed a rom with Internet and GPS support for the Galaxy Gear. The watch runs whatsapp, Skype, Maildroid etc.

I've been playing with that rom, but too many things not entirely working yet. Still, they managed to squeeze more out of it than Samsung did...

What I'm really desperate for is a way to reliably and easily tether the device and be able to choose what gets displayed on the output whether it be the camera, the display or both. I've had a few workarouds, but they're extremely cumbersome and in more than one case required a programmer and some extra gear.
The hardest thing is getting my hands on GG fro more than just a quick trial.

Played with one for a day last month and in mid december i will get one for a more extended trial at work. It was and will be a loaner from a dev in AUS. Apparently they got in a bunch more to beta test their apps. I have a $30/month T Mo prepaid sim that i put in my GNex and used that to tether and walk around town.

People I know praise it, others hate it. I can't see myself using it due to it being unsightly and over hyped.
Due to privacy issues I can see a work places banning it and that will have a big impact on its future.

Do you already have an invitation? If not:

It may be like bluetooth headsets. Some people find it useful to wear them all the time while others wouldn't be caught dead wearing them.
With GG, it'll be the same thing though the more image-conscious will avoid them, unless they can make it look like regular glasses.
You don't find many women wearing bluetooth headsets, it seems.
