A Big Threat to Samsung Gear Series

While the first Samsung Galaxy Gear was not able to shine much in the wearable tech world, however Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo - Samsung's second-generation smartwatches along with Gear Fit made an impact on the tech enthusiasts and are declared hit.

But the question is, should Samsung be scared of the upcoming LG G Watch? Well, the answer according to many tech analyst might be yes! As LG has always been quite a show stealer when it comes to innovation.
