Probably the most talked-about device that came out in this year's Consumer Electronics Unlimited event (IFA) here in Berlin would be the Samsung Galaxy Gear, a companion smartwatch to the Galaxy Note 3. Considering that the Galaxy Gear isn't even near the first smartwatch to be introduced as a companion to the smartphone (Sony has had 2 generations of Live View smart watches before and Motorola has the MotoActv), the media and public has huge anticipation and expectation as to what Samsung is going to come up with. Samsung's Galaxy Gear is an attempt to make a smartwatch that both addresses form and function. Once paired with a Galaxy phone via Bluetooth (they skipped NFC), you're also able to use the phone fucntions of your Galaxy smartphone -- like checking messages, taking calls and making commands on S Voice. The watch will only be initially compatible with the Galaxy Note 3 and then the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. With a firmware update, it will later on be compatible with the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note 2 as well. The Galaxy Gear will be available in 6 color variants — Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green. Samsung will sell the Galaxy Gear for $299 and should be out by September 25.
