Gear S Available November 7th!
Even though the contest is over, most of us upgraded our applications to support the Gear S screen resolution. Hence it seems appropriate to post that the release date is now known. May all of us find success in sales on the new platform. :)

Wonderful suggestion. Moderators, please see to this matter.

That would be great.

I agree with the suggestion. There are some unique things that could be done with the Gear S. The same things, though, would be hard to perfect without hardware. For example, I wouldn't just hope that compass sensors align correctly or that GPS is used properly.
I wonder how the Gear S will do in the marketplace.
The article mentions:
"Unfortunately its status as a standalone smart watch doesn’t change the fact that you’ll need a Galaxy smartphone to use it"
At the same time they are buying an additional contract for it and paying $200, it is not quite a standalone phone.
I think it is a great innovative idea. I just don't know how users will react yet int the marketplace.
I suppose a similar market will buy this as would get a 4G enabled tablet along with their smartphone.
