Samsung's round smartwatch is coming soon.

[Nineshadow]

Samsung has created a buzz in the smartwatch industry. It introduced the Galaxy Gear back in September 2013 for the Galaxy Note 3 and has then gone on to produce three smartwatches – the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and Gear S – as well as a smart fitness band dubbed the Gear Fit (no, the Gear Fit is not a smartwatch) in addition to the Android Wear Gear Live. That’s five smartwatches and one fitness band, if you’re counting.

 

It was a natural expectation at MWC 2015 to see a new smartwatch with the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, but no such luck. Samsung refrained from a new smartwatch release, to the surprise of many.

 

When interviewed about the failure to launch a new smartwatch, Samsung’s Executive VP of Mobile Marketing, Young-hee Lee, said that the company has now decided to break with its year-old tradition of simultaneous smartphone/smartwatch releases: We’ve been introducing more devices than anybody else. It’s time for us to pause. We want a more perfect product, Lee said.

 

A patent application submitted by Samsung last May matches Lee’s statement. The application reveals a round smartwatch with a rotating bezel ring that serves as the navigation tool for this new smartwatch along with a crown-shaped power button. New details give the device object and image recognition, in addition to a barcode register for products that can then be purchased through Samsung Pay (Samsung’s new mobile payment system) and gesture controls, as a portion of the software experience.

 

The Orbis watch takes utility to a whole new level, letting you use the device as not only a wrist wearable but also a keychain, necklace, and armband, among others, while also providing the luxury look and feel that some consumers mandate for wrist jewelry. And yes, the Gear 2 camera that departed quietly in the Gear S will return in the Orbis smartwatch.

 

The Orbis smartwatch looks to be a premium smartwatch in every way, but there’s nothing more perfect than perfect. With that said, the Gear S will definitely have both Android and iOS users drooling over it until this Fall’s Orbis announcement.

 

According to a source of community Samsung Tizen Korea , smartwatch latest Tizen will be launched during the exhibition CTIA Show 2015 which took place on 9-11 September 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. CTIA Show is an annual event organized by the wireless telecommunications industry association CTIA - The Wireless Association. CTIA stands for Cellular Telephone Industries Association.

 

For this new smartwatch Samsung Electronics not only bring new and different designs, which are round, but also to equip it with a variety of features and user experience (UX) which is completely different and may have never imagined before.

 

Rounded design that uses example, is not just a design variation. Placed around the ring can be rotated smartwatch interface is a key element in delivering user pengelaman intractive, unique and fun. The ring is sensitive to the touch so that it can interact with the UI and applications simply by touching it in certain areas.

 

For features, this smartwatch can replace the function of the remote control for the television, featuring information about the energy or electricity consumption of electronic devices in the home in a Smart Home environment, serves as a key to open or turn on one or more vehicles, identify the product (eg using RFID, NFC , barcode recognition, or object recognition) when users take the product and can provide information about the product (eg, nutritional information, information sources, or review) or the option to buy the products, determine the health context (for example, if the user is exercising or sleeping), and many again. 

 

Samsung's upcoming smarwatch will be able to be used on a band clip, on a keychain and even a bracelet.

 

 

It also comes with a new wireless charging system. More details here .(it's in Indonesian)

 

 

The smarwatch will also feature some new gestures , three new type of gestures actually : movement made in front of the camera , circular "multitouch" movements on the watch itself and simple hand movements.

 

 

The outer ring of the watch is also going bring some functionality.

It also has some nice features for organizing your time.
