Samsung is definitely in smartwatch race, but may be cautiously waiting for others to enter the league first. Samsung filed for a new trademark “GEAR” in US. While the primary description suggests the name could apply to literally anything, the secondary one specifically focuses on watches, clocks, wristbands, bracelets and the like which can communicate with phones, PCs and tablets using the internet and other communication methods.
After SONY announced SmartWatch 2 and companies like Apple and Qualcomm already working on their smartwatch offerings it will be sooner or later Samsung will announce a smartwatch.
