Samsung has announced the price of its Galaxy Gear this week, pricing its smartwatch device at $299.
The Galaxy Gear was showcased at the IFA consumer conference, Europe's largest consumer-electronics show.
The device features a 1.63-inch screen and a 1.9-megapixel camera according to Shin Jong Kyun, head of Samsung's mobile business.
Six color options, including lime green, gold, and orange, will be made available, and the device will weight 74 grams.

Users will get to make hands-free calls directly from the Gear, set alarms, check the weather and send emails just by using their voice.
