The smartwatch game is getting real… at least for Samsung, which introduced its new Galaxy Gear smartwatch at the IFA electronics show in Berlin Wednesday.
“At the moment, the only people who wear things on their wrist are people old enough to have an AARP card. Students look at wristwatches today the same way that their grandparents looked at pocket watches in the middle of the last century, as an unbelievably old-fashioned thing,” said Paul Saffo, long-range forecaster at Stanford University. “But that is about to change.”
The device will go on sale later this month, selling at $299, according to USA Today. It will be allow you to check on things such as e-mail and text messages that are sent to your phone without having to remove the phone from your pocket.
