hey we're here at Google i/o 2014 in San Francisco where we have just heard the announcement for the gear live as a Samsung Smart Watch running on Android wear so unfortunately right now the watch is running in a retail mode of demo mode and so you don't actually get to see how it works but you do get a sense of what the interface looks like and it's very similar to what we've seen before you can swipe up to go between your different notifications and then you can swipe to the right to dismiss them they won't do that here and then you can swipe the other way to get controls for the various notifications pulling down from the top at the very top here gives you the chance to mute or unmute your notifications and you can also say okay Google and it'll pop up things that you can give voice commands to so that's the software in terms of hardware it looks a lot like the other Galaxy gears it's got a really large metallic bezel the screen seems relatively bright although it is incredibly reflective with the glass that they have over it if you pull open the watch and look underneath it and you can see that we've got a heart rate monitor and just standard contact charging for charging to watch up your live is available for pre-order today and it's shipping on July 7th it should retail for 199 US you
