Samsung Working on a wristwatch

摘要

Samsung Electronics is developing a wristwatch as it races Apple to create wearable devices that perform many of the same functions as smart- phones. The first companies to sell devices that multitask could lock customers into their platforms, boosting sales of their phones and tablets. Apple may introduce a watch this year that could let users make calls, check map coordinates, and monitor health-related data, according to a person familiar with its plans. Global wristwatch sales will total more than $60 billion this year.
