Samsung's GEAR smartwatch set to launch alongside Galaxy Note III on September 6, at IFA?

Samsung GEAR, aka Samsung Altius, the company’s first attempt at making a modern smartwatch, is indeed real and it would share the centerstage for Samsung this September at IFA 2013, if we are to believe the latest whispers on the grapevine.

Speculations point out that the Samsung Gear smartwatch might launch along the Galaxy Note III phablet on September 6th, and mentions the goal of this launch would be to precede the launch of a possible Apple iWatch.

We should point out that nothing substantial has leaked about the Samsung Gear watch. This could mean that the launch of the smartwatch would be low-key and it would be more of an accessory for Galaxy smartphones rather than a fully independent device.

In either case, September 6th should definitely be marked on your calendar.
