The pricing of the Samsung smartwatch was what seemed ridiculous to me. $300 and I still have to have a phone to do just about anything doesn't make a lot of sense. Of course, then there's Scott's Steampunk watch at $25k! The Burg watches look pretty cool and look like they're in the $50 range.

Pete, don't be such a tightwad -- those watches are steals at those prices. When you want to get serious about your time, go for the Hublot LaFerrari MP-05. Priced at a modest US$300K (only 50 made). http://www.hublot.com/en_US/watch/mp/410/05-laferrari http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzXyjM5gdaM
