Santa gave us 3 GALAXY Gears to GIVE AWAY!
Saw Samsung’s latest ad? The one with Santa? No? Check it out below!
And you know what? Santa was kind enough to give us 3 GALAXY Gears to give away to our awesome readers and followers. To get a chance to win one of the three smartwatches, you need to follow us on Twitter and send us the best photo you have of your Christmas lights, along with the hashtag #GALAXYGearXMAS. It’s that simple.
What can I do with the GALAXY Gear?
Samsung’s first real smartwatch is able to receive all kind of notifications. There is no need to check your smartphone for the latest notifications. Everything will be shown on your new GALAXY Gear. The Samsung GALAXY Gear makes your life easier and much more convenient. But this isn’t all. You even could take beautiful photo’s with the 1.9-megapixel camera and short HD videos. Remember all the cool stuff you saw in Knight Rider and all those Bond movies? Well, the GALAXY Gear makes some of that possible, including the ability to take phone calls!
The contest ends on December 18th, so be sure to send us your photos (remember, with the #GALAXYGearXMAS hashtag) before then. Oh, and don’t forget to thank Santa!
[Video] Galaxy Gear is Santa’s Christmas miracle in Samsung’s latest ad
Can a watch make phone calls? Can a watch take a picture? These are some of the questions Santa asks his loyal elves, in Samsung’s latest ad to promote the Galaxy Gear, in a bid to get more people to buy it this holiday season. It’s a pretty nice ad, with Santa claiming the smartwatch to be a miracle after demoing some of its features; the ad also mentions the watch is now compatible with more devices than just the Galaxy Note 3, which should help a little in making it a more attractive product.
Check out the ad below.

Samsung reveals Santa is really Steve Ballmer
A new ad for the Galaxy Gear shows Santa motivating an elves' sales conference. He's more than a little like the man who cries about developers.
Santa is sacred.
He's an icon. He's a superstar. He's a traditionalist. You don't imagine him peddling one product or another. He's commercially non-denominational. At least that's how he lives in my childlike mind.
Now along comes Samsung to tell me: "No, no, ninny. Santa is a Galaxy Gear fanboy."
In a new ad that will surely shake the foundations of contemporary culture, we have Santa -- no, Samta -- speaking at what appears to be an elves' sales conference.
Samta is less the genial old man who's seen it all, done it all and knows that true love comes down chimneys, and more, well, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
More Technically Incorrect
Samta is preaching to his own choir of little people. He's making them believe that the Galaxy Gear isn't a smartwatch that's had mediocre reviews.
This watch that does some things, but not really all that many, isn't merely magical and revolutionary.
"It's a miracle," says Samta.
This ad can surely only run when the children go to bed. This might affect lives, families, even whole communities.
"Call me crazy," shrieks Samta.
Well, we'll see how crazy he is after the holiday gadget-gorging season is over and the numbers are in.
Meanwhile, how can Samsung top this? How can they make next year's Elves Sales Conference even more motivating and shocking than stark-raving bonkers Samta?
I have it: Elvis.
