Was planning to get the Sony Smartwatch (I already have the previous version) or Pebble but put it on hold to check out the Gear. Turns out to be a dissapointment. It's damn ugly (compared to Sony and Pebble) and there isn't any new feature that isn't available on other smartwatches (except maybe the camera and mic but who uses those on a watch?). It's also reported that there's a dock to charge the watch and if you don't take the dock with you, you can't charge your watch. The price is $299 which is double the price of Sony/Pebble and it only works with Note 3 for now.

Powerbank is more worth it because you don't have to switch off the phone and replace the battery. You can also use the powerbank to charge other devices. You can even use the powerbank to charge your phone two times or more depending on the mAh. But that's only if you don't mind the powerbank connected to your phone all the time when charging. Some people find it a hassle to have the power bank dangling around.
