Continuity mistake: As Howard and Chuck are in a meeting about their lawyers' premiums going up, Chuck is spinning a pen around in his hand.

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Mike sets a trap to taint a cartel's truck with drug residue. First, he inserts a bag of cocaine in a shoe, then throws the pair of shoes over a telephone wire. His plan is to shoot the hanging shoe so the cocaine powder pours out onto the truck as it passes under the wire. However, when he inserts the drugs it is in the right shoe, but later, it is the left shoe he shoots and has the powder in it. (00:29:30 - 00:38:00)

Sabrosito - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Hector goes behind the counter in Los Pollos Hermanos and helps himself to a drink. The cup is under a different dispenser (and therefore a different drink) each time the shot changes, but the audio of the dispensing and the cup being filled remains intact throughout.

Lantern - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: Jimmy shows up at Irene's door with a box and some balloons. From the side view as she opens the door, the balloon with flowers on it is closest to the door with the pink and blue peppermint swirl balloon behind it. When the camera cuts to looking at Jimmy from inside over Irene's shoulder, the peppermint balloon is now in front with the flower balloon up higher between it and the other balloon. (00:28:36)

Off Brand - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: The newspaper Hector is reading when Domingo comes in keeps changing around. For example, when you see him reading the sports page, there's half a picture of a baseball player on the front and the bottom half should be seen on the side Hector is reading. When we see what he's reading, part of the picture is now a football player.

Answer: It is my opinion that you should absolutely watch Breaking Bad first. If you did not know, Better Call Saul takes place before the events of Breaking Bad. At the time I am posting this, BCS is mid-way through season 5, with season 6 on the way perhaps in a year. So if you binge Better Call Saul now, you would not be able to "flow" right into Breaking Bad. To me, it's better to watch in the order that they came out. Breaking Bad was a phenomenal show, and now watching Better Call Saul, it is fun to watch the events unfold and start to lead up to what we saw in BB. Enjoy.

Answer: Now that it's ended, this question can be fully answered. Better Call Saul includes events after the conclusion of Breaking Bad, as well as references to and descriptions of major events from the latter. Not only would Breaking Bad be spoiled for you by watching Better Call Saul first, but there's a lot that wouldn't be understood.

Chosen answer: So far the show has been about Saul's struggles as a lawyer long before the Breaking Bad timeline (Spoiler Alert: It starts out for the most part at a time when he didn't even go by the name Saul).
