AT&T has started taking pre-orders for the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy Gear watch Tuesday, while T-Mobile prepares for a Wednesday start.
Verizon is not the only network carrier in the U.S. to take Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch pre-orders, AT&T has also joined the race. Starting today, buyers can book their much-awaited wearable gadget by Samsung. The competition gets tougher as T-Mobile plans on taking pre-orders for Galaxy Gear starting Wednesday.
Sprint, on its part, has not given any details about Galaxy Gear, but is asking buyers to pre-register to get latest updates on Samsung's latest lineup.
Verizon has already been taking pre-orders for a bundle including Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Gear for $600 with a two year contract along with an expected delivery date of October 12. AT&T has the Galaxy Note 3 listed for pre-orders with a $299.99 price tag and two-year contract since earlier this month and is expected to start shipping around October 1. Following the latest announcement, AT&T will also take pre-orders for the Galaxy Gear smartwatch for $299. The wearable tech will be available in two colors, black and white and will be sold without any contract. The shipment for Galaxy Gear will be done along with Note 3 around October 1.
AT&T pushed the great news via its official Twitter account, late Monday.

While AT&T and Verizon are taking pre-orders for Samsung's newest lineup, T-Mobile will also benefit with the early buyers of the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Note 3, starting Wednesday. With its attractive "Un-Carrier" plan, the Galaxy Note 3 will cost $199.99 down with 24 monthly installments of $21. The network says the devices will be shipped out earlier than October 2, which is when both the products will be seen across all T-Mobile stores.

Samsung Galaxy Gear is currently compatible with Galaxy Note 3, but the South Korean giant plans on expanding to a wider range of compatible gadgets in the next lineup.
