everybody's Michael Fisher with pocket now it used to be that the pebble was the only SmartWatch of note on the scene that's not the case anymore we're here at Berlin 2013 Eva this is the Samsung Galaxy gear and we're going to check it out so cuz this is the Samsung Galaxy gear and one of the first things you'll notice probably on film first of all this it might be this glinting stainless steel which feels really really nice in person the second thing you might notice is the thing to kind of wheel noticed is that it looks kind of big it looks ungainly it looks heavy it might look a little clunky to you that's how it looked to us on this giant screen here at the event but you wear this thing you get it on your wrist in person it actually feels quite nice I don't have the weight of the top of my head but it is not much heavier on the wrist and the pebble is and there's that screen pop into life there this is a i believe it's 320 x 320 display there's the only button on the device as a side key there you use to wake it up you have obviously the time you can double tap the screen with two fingers for a more detailed status with whether bluetooth is on your battery level things like that update and you've got these shortcuts here now one of the cool things will jump into this is called the not the memo makers is this called the the memo grapher or the mammography if you will and it is just a case a camera built in here it's capable of shooting 720 video it's positioned so that you can you know you have your your wrist here and you're just point us up now oh cool what's going on over there if you tap it adjusts well it's in video mode right now it'll shoot up to 10 seconds of video and it will sync to your Galaxy Note 3 or your other galaxy samsung galaxy device dump them right to the right to the device I'm just going to try and get out of the options here back is a simple swipe down from the top bezel sorry guys i'm still learning the interface here there's a snap you want to take a silly just tap it focuses and takes the shot go back you can always return to the home screen from the side button here but the rest of the interface is all gesture-based you can reach your contacts check out your call logs all this obviously coming from the phone or you have a certain amount of apps third-party applications can be written for the for the galaxy gear these are some samples loaded on here as well you see some familiar titles like evernote in there as well as obviously through the more common things like the dialer Samsung's chat on line you can redeem yourself you know me to narrator but quite a few and the exciting thing being of course that third-party developers can build more let's go back and swipe over once more their settings to control this is obviously links via bluetooth with your smart device so a much more feature heavy and feature centric SmartWatch than others we've seen on the market this will become available in October to anyone who would like to buy one we will have some more details and possibly a direct comparison with pebble at the head and finally one of the few things that that sets it off or excuse me one of the other primary things that sets it up is that you can make and take calls you don't just initiate calls you can make n take calls from the device it's a microphone down here speaker phone in this unit here you just bring your hand up to your head like this and it's just wonderful I actually don't know that I haven't taken to call you but it feels wonderful anyway Michael Fisher with the Samsung Galaxy gear here at Aoife 2013 in Berlin Tony behind the camera is a pretty cool device we're going to check it out some more stay tuned for more from pocket now thanks for watching
