Think you've heard everything there is to hear about the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3? Well, that's possible, but given the near-daily stream of updated info on the phone's release, it's also unlikely. So what's new you say? Well, for one, there's a brand new, high tech watch accessory rumor.

That's right, those things that people used to strap to their wrists and were only capable of telling the time are now going to receive a 21st century upgrade. It's still uncertain just how much functionality the "smartwatch" will have, but now it does appear that the folks at Samsung intend on revealing it soon.

"Speculation has been rife that Samsung might introduce their first smartwatch along with the Galaxy Note III at the UNPACKED Episode 2 event on September 4th, and now we can confirm that Samsung will indeed unveil the Galaxy Gear smartwatch on the same day it takes the wraps off its third-generation Note, the specs of which we confirmed earlier," writes SamMobile.

Though the smartwatch is not necessarily a new idea, it never really took off as a fashion trend. Several tech companies have tried to popularize them in the past but were unable to, perhaps because of brand recognition. Samsung would be the largest tech company ever to attempt to sell a smartwatch, and there has already been talk that Apple may soon follow suit.

As it stands, there's still a lot that we don't know about what the brass at Samsung have up their sleeve for their Unpacked event on Sept. 4th. Certainly the addition of the Galaxy Gear adds a new wrinkle to the type of technological advancements we may be in for, though its specs are still unkown. For sure we will be seeing the Note 3, the specs of which have already been disclosed:

-Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 2.3Ghz processor

-5.7-inch FHD AMOLED display

-3GB RAM

-13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS)

-150Mbps LTE-Advanced support

-3450mAh battery

Still, it's very likely that Samsung will have at least a couple of tricks up its sleeve. The Galaxy Gear smartwatch would certainly constitute one such mysterious reveal, though smart money is on Samsung throwing out a curveball or two with its new Note 3. Techies be prepared -- the reveal is only three weeks away.
