All eyes on Samsung as smartwatch is finally unveiled
JK Shin, head of Samsung’s mobile division, predicted the Galaxy Gear — effectively a mobile phone you wear on your wrist — would become “a new fashion icon through the world” as he launched the device at the IFA consumer electronics fair in Berlin.
The smartwatch has a touchscreen of just over 4cm in a brushed-steel mount and wrist strap in six colours. Contrary to rumours, it does not have a flexible screen.
