I believe Sony is one of the first major companies that introduces smartwatch to the masses (Sony SmartWatch and SmartWatch 2). The other is <a href=\"http:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/tag\/pebble\" target=\"_blank\">Pebble<\/a>, a crowdsource project that saw big success. Apple is supposedly to introduce a smartphone (iWatch?) this year but there is no other information.<\/p>\n<p>I guess as smartphones&#8217; screen get bigger, manufacturers will think of other ways to make life easier for consumers. Smartwatch seems to fit this gap.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2013-08-16\/samsung-said-to-introduce-smartphone-like-wristwatch-next-month.html\" target=\"_blank\">source1<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/08\/16\/samsung-reportedly-introducing-galaxy-gear-android-smartphone-wristwatch-in-september\/\" target=\"_blank\">source2<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertreviews.co.uk\/smartphones\/1297111\/samsung-galaxy-note-3-features-and-price-rumours-release-date-confirmed\" target=\"_blank\">source3<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.co.uk\/articles\/499678\/20130817\/galaxy-note3-feature-processor-exynos5420-snapdragon800-variant.htm\" target=\"_blank\">source4<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung might be unveiling a smartwatch (GALAXY Gear) just before IFA on 4th September, together with the GALAXY Note III during their Samsung Unpacked event..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1509,1515,5,6,14],"tags":[37,3306,4357,973,11263,3116,10464,10465,10463,11264,12,1021,10941,821,3299],"class_list":["post-50410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-gadget","category-mobile","category-pda","category-techie","tag-android","tag-berlin","tag-featured-2","tag-galaxy","tag-galaxy-gear","tag-ifa","tag-note-3","tag-note-iii","tag-note3","tag-noteiii","tag-samsung","tag-smartphone","tag-smartwatch","tag-unpacked","tag-watch"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/samsung-watch-010.jpg?fit=460%2C276&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8YKZ-d74","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50410"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50414,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50410\/revisions\/50414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
