"Samsung&amp;#039;s upcoming smartwatch device could be released under the moniker of Samsung Gear. Phandroid claims to have discovered a trademark filing that appears to confirm the name of the product that was outed back in March.   The listing describes Samsung Gear devices as &amp;quot;watches that communicate data to personal digital assistants, smartphones, tablet PCs, PDA, and personal computers through internet websites and other computer and electronic communications networks; watchbands that communicate data to [the aforementioned devices]&amp;quot;. Samsung executive Lee Young Hee confirmed earlier this year that the company is developing a smartwatch device, giving rise to rumours that it will be released under the Galaxy umbrella. Photographs that allegedly depict the watch&amp;#039;s interface appeared online back in February, but their authenticity remains unconfirmed. Samsung is expected to face stiff competition from Apple in the wearable tech market, with the Cupertino firm reportedly moving ahead with its iWatch venture. Sony released its SmartWatch 2 device last month. Watch a video introducing the product below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
