Techradar reported that Samsung issued a news release which appeared just after the Google Android Wear announcement. Coincidence ?

Samsung have stated that they have a third Gear smartwatch in the pipeline which will actually be able to make phone calls as it has its own sim.

So by revealing this new 3rd version why would anyone buy the Gear 2 so soon? I also wonder how developers will react now to supporting the Tizen operating system when android wear is likely to be far more popular.
