As a cyclist, I see a market for something like this...I don't even own a smartphone, or a cycling-specific garmin but scads of cyclists do... and to be able to wear your gps and download the results to the tether later that day is going to be big for a lot of people. Will cycling sustain the market for this product? Who knows, probably not, but I never would have predicted the success of the ipod, the iphone, (the Nike Fuelband and it's copycat products)- I hope it finds success, I think the concept is tres cool.
And frankly, to compare the esthetic of this to the Samsung is ridiculous. The Samsung looks comical. The apple just looks like a modern watch - 43mm is not that large at all for a wristwatch in this day and age.
