The Galaxy Gear was showcased at the IFA consumer conference, Europe's largest consumer-electronics show.

Six color options, including lime green, gold, and orange, will be made available, and the device will weight 74 grams.

Users will get to make hands-free calls directly from the Gear, set alarms, check the weather and send emails just by using their voice.

Samsung predicts it will sell 500,000 Galaxy Gears this year alone.

Expect the device to be released on Sept. 25 in 140 countries, but the U.S. and Japan won't get it until October.
