The Galaxy Gear will be powered by Google Inc.’s Android operating system and go on sale this year to beat a potentially competing product from Apple Inc., the people said.
The report follows an earlier one from SamMobile which said the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch will be unveiled alongside the new Galaxy Note III.
