Samsung announces Galaxy Gear smartwatch at IFA 2013 (pictures)
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is a touch-screen timepiece that talks to your phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear, a watch that talks to your Samsung phone, leads a new generation of wearable technology at technology trade show IFA 2013.
The Gear shows you what's happening on your phone, such as new messages.
On the side of the Gear is a camera that shoots basic snaps and 10-second videos.
You can install apps such as Find My Device to track down a missing phone.
There's a choice of different watch faces, or you can display useful information.
The Gear comes in six different colours, including this beige strap and champagne gold buckle.
The camera is found on the outside of your wrist.
You can find your friends in your contacts list and even call them without taking your phone from your pocket.
The home screen can display the time in different time zones.
This is the gray version, with silver face and buckle.
Tap on the screen to capture a photo.
The buckle is adjustable for different-size wrists.
The watch clips into this dock to charge.
The watch sits in the dock and connects with hidden charging connections.
The dock doubles as a stand.
Charge the Gear with a standard Micro-USB cable.
Choose from green, orange, gray, black, beige, and champagne.
You can change the colour of the screen to match the strap.
The Gear pairs via Bluetooth with a Galaxy phone or tablet, like this Note 3.
Pair the Gear with your Galaxy phone to control the music.
Use the companion app to adjust the Gear's settings.
There are various options for the two devices to talk to each other.
The Gear Manager app can be downloaded to your phone.
The two devices can send a signal to the other to make a racket if lost.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear hits shops before the end of the year.
