Since the beginning of the year, Samsung has been doing everything to reverse the trend of declining sales and confirm it with models Galaxy S6 (edge), which is the iPhone's main competitor. However, the battle is not only taking place in the field of mobile phones, but also in the market for smart watches. Apple has started pre-orders Apple Watch already at the end of last week and according to statistics it should have received over 900 pre-orders in the US alone. However, Samsung is not very afraid of Apple, at least according to the spokesperson of the vice president of the mobile division of Samsung Europe, Rory O'Neill.
In an interview with CNBC, the spokesperson stated that "We're glad, aren't we Apple he keeps up with us and has entered this market.” So, according to the claim, the company is not worried and is rather excited that real competition can arise in the market and two technological giants can move forward with each other. Samsung entered the smart watch market back in 1999, when the company introduced the SPH-WP10 watch, which had a battery life of approximately 90 minutes of talk time.
The great-grandfather of today's Gear S was replaced after 10 years by the S9110 model "Watchphone" and 4 years later, in 2013, the company began to push forward smartwatches as a separate product category that can be used in conjunction with a mobile phone. Since then we have models on the market Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear S. Additionally, the company highlighted that there are many great brands in the market such as Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Google, Facebook or Microsoft, which invest almost 14 million dollars a day in the development of new products and services for their customers.
