Samsung claims that the Galaxy Gear has sold over 800,000 units since launch

Samsung claims that, contrary to popular belief, its new smartwatch has sold over 800,000 units since launch. This is a response to recent reports claiming that the smartwatch, called the Galaxy Gear, has sold as few as 50,000 units.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear has sold more than 800,000 units since its September launch, according to the company. The revealed sales figures comes after recent reports claiming that the number of Galaxy Gear devices being used by consumers is closer to 50,000 units, something that Samsung feels the need to correct.
