With the unveiling of their new wearable devices, the Samsung Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and the fitness-oriented Gear Fit, Samsung looks to be taking a more thoughtful approach to the smartwatch industry in 2014. While the watches definitely look the part, we’ve been wondering since they were officially announced how they would be priced and it looks as though TalkAndroid has the low down on the pricing.
According to their sources, the daddy of the bunch, the Gear 2, will be looking at a 300 Euro ($412 USD) price-tag whereas the Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit are expected to cost the same at 200 Euros ($275 USD). As with the original Galaxy Gear, that’s not exactly pocket change, though many of us are already used to Samsung’s pricing tricks with all their accessories, often pricing them on the very expensive size. Despite Samsung’s decision to move their smartwatches to the Tizen OS, there’s been very little change to the devices in general; compared to other smartwatch devices that arguably perform better and definitely last longer, these Samsung devices will carry an extremely hefty disadvantage if these prices are correct.
What do you think about these prices: would you be willing to shell out that much for one of these Samsung Gear devices? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
