“We are constantly listening to our customers and what our consumers want is their daily lives to be easier and more enjoyable,” says George Ferreira, vice-president and chief operating officer of Samsung Electronics Africa.“This commitment to our customers is once again reflected in our ongoing smart device innovation leadership and our new wearable device, the Samsung Galaxy Gear.”
Ferreira said the Galaxy Gear has filled the gap between the mobile device and fashion worlds which is creating wearable technology, and that it also frees users from the need to constantly check their smart devices.
This gear lets users stay connected to their Samsung Galaxy devices, as it notifies users of incoming messages, such as calls, texts, e-mails and alerts, delivers a message preview and creates the opportunity for users to accept or ignore messages.
When an incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users pick their Samsung Galaxy device and the Smart Relay feature will instantly reveal the full content on the screen.The built-in speaker allows users to conduct hands-free calls directly from the Gear.
“In addition to enabling smart device controls, Samsung GALAXY Gear introduces several features that help users easily capture life’s meaningful moments which otherwise might be missed,” adds Craige Fleischer, director of mobile communications at Samsung Electronics SA.
Some features he talked about include the Memographer feature,which is a 1.9 MP camera , it also has the Voice Memo which capture conversations from the wrist watch and save those recordings into texts on their galaxy devices.
The devices are available in Jet Black; Mocha Gray; Wild Orange; Oatmeal Beige; Rose Gold; and Lime Green colors and will retail at $460.
