Final words:
This happens with all the latest technology whether  it is mobile phone or computers or smartwatches, which is they are in the development phase the world of smartwatches has just started. I personally don't feel like spending that amount of money on something which is at beginners level but for those who always want to stay ahead in the race of technology and want to own every new launches in the world of technology .
I'll suggest you should buy pebble or qualcomm toq because these two are only value for money, and the best thing is that they are also iphone compatible, and for indian costumer you can buy sony smart watch instead(remember this is not iphone compatible) because qualcomm TOQ  will retail only in north America and their no sign of early launches in india. And please dont buy galaxy gear first its only compatible with GALAXY NOTE 3 and secondly very overpriced.
