Shara Tibken 8/13/2015 3:42:17 PM"We set out to raise the bar in the category we pioneered, and I think we stayed ahead of the curve, but we're just getting started. Samsung is always looking for that next advance, that next breakthrough. We'll get there like we always have. By being open ... and frankly, by not being afraid to bet big on the future."

Shara Tibken 8/13/2015 3:43:57 PMSamsung introduced its first smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, in late 2013 and followed that up with five more wearables in the next year -- including the Gear 2, running its Tizen operating system; the Android Wear-based Gear Live; and the Gear Fit fitness band. The company a year ago introduced the Gear S smartwatch with its own 3G cellular connectivity and the Gear Circle, wireless Bluetooth headphones that fasten around the neck and vibrate when receiving a call.

Shara Tibken 8/13/2015 3:43:59 PMWhile the devices initially looked promising, most haven’t sold well, and the frequency of Samsung’s releases caused some confusion with would-be buyers. Still, the Gear devices made Samsung the world’s biggest smartwatch vendor last year. In the second quarter of 2014, nearly three out of every four smartwatches came from Samsung, according to Strategy Analytics.

Shara Tibken 8/13/2015 3:44:07 PMSamsung hasn’t released a new smartwatch in over a year, and things dramatically changed when Apple introduced the Apple Watch, a device that costs $349 to $17,000. With only three months in the wearables market, Apple surpassed Samsung to become the king of the smartwatch market. In the second quarter of this year, 76 percent of smartwatches came from Apple, while Samsung’s control of the sector tumbled to 7.5 percent, Strategy Analytics said.
