As many wait for an iWatch to finally get the go-ahead, other companies have jumped in and kicked-off the smartwatch revolution. The latest to throw their hat in the ring is Samsung as they’ve officially announced the release of the Galaxy Gear. Besides the standard and obvious features a smartwatch will sport – integration with some apps on your phone, music controls, and watch face options – the Galaxy Gear gives users a bit more. It’s got a built-in 1.9 megapixel camera for photos and video and it’s loaded with speakers and a mic so you can use it for calls all secret ops style. Other neat features include the ability to record short voice memos right into the watch and the ability to use the Galaxy Gear as a physical activity tracker. The Galaxy wrist candy will be out on September 25th and will come in six different colors.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
