Samsung's smart watch is here.

The South Korean tech giant unveiled its wearable device Wednesday at the IFA consumer technology conference in Berlin, Germany, CNN reported.

The smart watch will be able to notify users when the receive calls, text messages or emails. Samsung co-CEO J.K. Shin unveiled the new device and called it the "perfect companion" for the company's Galaxy smartphones, like the Note 3, also unveiled Wednesday.

"We really focused on how the Galaxy Note 3 feels in your hand," Shin said, noting its slimmer and faster features.

He did not give further details, like price, on the Galaxy Gear, but said it would be available for purchase Sept. 25 along with the Note 3 and Samsung's new Tab 10.1 tablet. As expected, the Gear will run on Google's Android operating system, just like all of Samsung's mobile devices.

Gartner analyst Angela McIntyre told the Washington Post these wearable devices, like the Galaxy Gear, other smart watches and Google's Glass, are seemingly playing an accessory role rather than as a standalone device.

"They'll have value as a secondary display to a smartphone," she said. "The convenience of having something on your wrist is quite valuable and less distracting, for example, if you're in conversation with somebody."

As was a developmental problem for Samsung, Gartner noted it will be challenge for smart watch makers to create slim and fashionable device. Until the technology evolves, the watches will have to be bulkier than desired to accommodate a decent battery. Samsung was reportedly attempting to create a flexible battery and display, but said that kind of technology would have to wait.

"I hope smart watch companies will be talking to the more traditional watch companies to bring that sense of style and flair, as opposed to having it look like a sports or high-tech gadget," she said.

Apple, however, appears to be going for a fashion-forward design right off the bat. The Cupertino, Calif. tech company recently filed a patent for the name "iWatch," presumably to design their own smart watch.

Apple has also hired Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve reportedly to help design the iWatch. Apple confirmed at the time via a statement that Deneve will work on "special projects" and will also report directly to CEO Tim Cook.
