Dutch Leave Koreans for Dust with their Smartwatch Design

GUANGZHOU, China, August 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    In a few weeks' time Samsung will introduce its highly anticipated smartphone-watch,
the Galaxy Gear. Although the Koreans crossed the finish line before their biggest
competitor, Apple, they failed to come in first.

    Burg, a Dutch manufacturer, launched its first smartwatches over four years ago. In
2009, its first design was instantly awarded first prize for most innovative product

    Founder Hermen van den Burg, an award-winning designer from the Netherlands, now has
his office situated in Guangzhou, China, where his company has established a factory,
research center and showroom. Burg manufactures a variety of smartwatches for men, women
and children, sporting a trendy, casual or athletic look. Prices range from $149 to $399.

    What makes the Dutch smartwatch, designed by Burg, superior to Samsung's and Apple's
designs is that Burg watches carry a regular SIM card, thus making the watch a fully
featured, independently functioning phone. Its rivals, however, all still require a
Bluetooth connection between the watch and the phone. In other words, without the
connection, these are just ordinary watches; and there's hardly anything smart about that.
