Samsung 'smartwatch' expected soon

Your wrist is expected to be the next battleground in the war between Samsung and Apple. CNN's Isa Soares reports.

We've all been there, look at our watch and panicked just like in Alice in Wonderland.

It's just a rabbit with a waist coat and a watch.

Oh my fur and whiskers. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

Now it seems time is also running out for smart phones with the market gradually heading toward saturation. Tech companies are gearing up for a new race.

Samsung is the first major player out the blot with the phone that it says will have everything, not your fingertips but on your wrist.But with our lives already dominated by the concert of time in this case, Big Ben, your cellphone, your iphones, your ipads or your blackberries, will Samsung smart watch even catch on?

I'm looking now, none of you three have watches, what do you use to tell the time?

My mobile phone.

I think we've given up watches because our mobile phones can do the same as a watch and I don't like watches.

I don't think I would want to buy one to be honest.

Why not?

I just think it doesn't do anything different to what my phone does.I just keep my phone.

Despite this skeptism, experts say there is an appetite among consumers to be ever more closely connected to their devices. According to recent data from an industry research group, 36 million smart watches have projected to be shipped by 2018. And the industry says credit swiss will be worth 15 billion dollars. For others like James Bond no doubt, these devices may be a hard sale with many preferring the classical style instead.

I'm a big traditional,I'm sorry.

Before you know it though, telling the time could be our watch's least important feature.

No time to say goodbye, hello, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
