This new Samsung web ad introduces us to a new brand of technology stalker: Meet the Galaxy Geardo. He's the epitomy of what frightens people about the wearable future, made closer by the commercialization of smartwatches and Google Glass.
He's a weirdo with a watch, and he stalks women he just met, and he is as cheesy as can be. Samsung, which is already something of an expert at getting the worst out of actors, managed to wrap every bad feeling one associates with new technology into this ad for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
