Samsung Galaxy Gear
This newcomer is the first smartwatch that can “legitimately claim to be a 21st-century version of Dick Tracy’s two-way wrist radio”: It makes and receives calls, takes photos and video, and supports various useful apps. Due to ship in October, it hasn’t been thoroughly test-driven. Also, it works only in concert with a Galaxy Note phone or tablet.
