Samsung has just announced the release of a brand new smartwatch. The Samsung Galaxy Gear can take photos and answer phone calls. One caveat though, the device must be used along and only works with a few Samsung products. The gadget goes on sale in October and costs around $300.

Smartwatches from Sony and Qualcomm are already out in the market. And it’s no secret that Apple’s next big product is going to be a smartwatch. As the consumer electronics war goes from smartphones to wearable devices, would consumers follow? Do you have any interest in buying, or wearing, a smartwatch?
