The watch isn't Samsung's first wearable, but it's the first with the Galaxy brand name - in the past, Samsung's smartwatches have been under the "Gear" branding.

The Galaxy Watch has LTE connectivity, which means you can make calls or listen to music without being tethered to your smartphone. The watch comes in two sizes, three colors, has an AMOLED display, and "military-grade durability."

Samsung says the watch will get "several days" of battery life on a single charge. It will be able to charge wirelessly on Samsung's new Duo wireless charging pad, which can charge a smartphone and the watch at the same time.

There's no word yet on pricing and availability, but we'll update this post as soon as we hear.
