Samsung says Gear smartwatch shipments hit 800,000 in 2 months


SEOUL: Samsung Electronics Co said on Tuesday its Galaxy Gear has become the world's most popular smartwatch with shipments reaching 800,000 since its debut two months ago, defying some market concerns the accessory would fail due to a lack of compelling features. 

The company's statement referred to sales of the smartwatch, but Samsung later clarified that it was basing its figures on shipments to retailers and mobile operators.
