Galaxy Gear Smart Watch Note 3 Comp

I wouldn't call the Galaxy Gear a success by any means, but the smartwatch revolution has officially begun. They'll get better and better with time, and it looks as though Samsung's next wearable will be hitting shelves relatively soon.

In the first quarter of 2014, the company will be releasing the Galaxy Band, a fitness tracking band much like Nike's FuelBand. Motion, pressure, and humidity sensors will be built-in, and the device will be able to sync with other Samsung devices via Bluetooth. Voice controls may also be included.

Expect a product launch at the Mobile World Congress this February.
