Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch officially unveiled

IFA 2013 Should the iWatch be worried? 

Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch officially unveiled  

Samsung's new smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, has been revealed at IFA 2013 - but it will only work with the also-announced Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition for now.
The Android-running wrist-warmer allows you to make voice-controlled hands-free calls through your phone, and hopes to get a headstart on the long-rumoured Apple iWatch and give the recently-announced Sony Smartwatch 2 a run for its money.

The 73.8g Gear comes with a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen that will display notifications, and there's a 1.9MP camera on the strap which allows you to record video in Full HD.
There are also two microphones for noise cancellation, and a speaker squeezed into the watch strap's clasp. To answer a call, you raise your arm to your face and start chatting. Apparently that's "natural".
As for the battery, it's a 315mAh cell which you recharge using a microUSB charger and charging cradle combination. Samsung reckons you'll get "more than a day" from a single full charge, but we'll just see about that.
