Since the launch of these new, \u2018smart\u2019 devices, there has been an ongoing battle of \u2018whodunnit best\u2019.\u00a0 In September 2013 Samsung launched its first smartwatch and, in the span of a year, they launched five more products.\u00a0 Together these six products make up the Gear series.<\/p>\n
There are five \u2018standard\u2019 smartwatches in different colors that enable users to access and sync their mobile devices.\u00a0 There is also the GearFit which not only allows users to sync their mobiles, but also track steps, monitor heart rate, and have real-time coaching.\u00a0 All through a watch!<\/p>\n
