All right already, I know this is my 3rd Blog about Smartwatches!

Greetings from Mobile Generated News®  MoGN!

Would you believe that Samsung claims that they have sold 800,000 Smartwatches?

Yes, this is the one that I thought was mediocre at best and only works with a few of their Galaxy devices.  You may also remember that this particular “Smartwatch” works like an extension phone and doesn’t receive email, Tweets or Facebook notifications.

Even though I pride myself as a 1^st adopter of the latest gadget, this particular product doesn’t make any sense to me.

Yet, 800,000 sold?  What am I missing here?  The reviews have been lousy, and the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch is the bestselling Smartwatch in the whole world!  And they have sold all of these in just the last two-months.  According to a report from Reuters  “The South Korean firm said Gear sales have been better than its own expectations and it would expand sales promotions for the wearable device for the crucial year-end holiday sales.”

If you haven’t noticed Samsung has spent a fortune on television commercials, full page ads in Newspapers and created a Social Media buzz.  So, this isn’t a case of luck and timing, or is it?

You certainly don’t need a Smartwatch to upload your breaking news stories, features and commentaries to Mobile Generated News®!  Download the Mobile Generated News® (MoGN) App and send in your own video commentary about Smartwatches, or any subject we talk about in the Mobile Generated News® Blog! 

And no, I DO NOT WANT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS!  Well, maybe the Cookoo Watch…
