Apple currently holds 45% of the unreleased smart watch market while Samsung has a strong lead with 48%.
That looks a helluva lot like a B&W windows 8 metro theme. Samsung decided to copy someone else rather than poke the Apple?
For next two years, Samesung will have a lot of products like Apple, because Apple must tell Samesung certain new projects to see if they are able to produce. Just like Eric Schmidt sat on Apple board and knew all about it then secretly told their engineers to develop it.
That's how Samsung won over television. Sony trusted a tiny company in S Korea called "Gold Star" to manufacture it's TV, but Sony didn't know one day that tiny company would steal its technology then turn around called itself Samesung and made the same tv but without all the R&D and cut the price in half to kill Sony.
It is unclear whether the watch will be a self-contained product, or rely on a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone.

Yes, and you are on it right now.
Having owned a Samsung printer at one time, I understand their philosophy. Steal ideas, make products as cheaply as possible, advertise them massively, sell as many as you can and when the sales chart flatlines, abandon it and move on.Never update. Never fix. never add new features, just move on and sell a replacement as soon as possible. That's why you can't get a toner cartridge for one of their printers which is over a year old.
So who cares if they rush some half-baked piece of junk to the market. By the time buyers realize they have been taken, Apple will have something decent to offer.
What is it with these watches all of a sudden? With people who actually wear watches being pretty slim these days, is there really a market here?
And in one moment all the trolls decrying an iWatch perform an amazing Olympic style 180 degree twist and spin and are now fully supportive and will attack Apple for copying Samsung, or attack Apple for not creating one as big as Samsung's.
so much ignorance in this forum

But we will have to listen to all the Apple haters saying that Apple copied Samsung even though our iWatch is in every way better than theirs and we will automatically become an idiot in their eyes. If only they knew it was the opposite but the majority of the world don't read into development stuff, only listen to who got to the market first.
Flavor Flav would like this idea.
How is this even possible. They would have to see the released iWatch in order to copy it an release an identical version with the Samsung logo and Android OS. This article implies that Samsung actually has its own R&D department. It is not April 1st today.
