"To spur increased demand, the price of the Galaxy Gear is now Rs 15,290," a Samsung India spokesperson said.
The device is compatible with the the company's range -- S3, S4, S4 Mini, Note 2, Note 3 and Grand 2, the spokesperson added. Data on Galaxy Gear sales in India was not available.
In November, Samsung had said it had sold 8 lakh units globally since the launch in September.
Galaxy Gear works with Samsung smartphone and tablets powered by Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) operating system.
It has a 1.6-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen surrounded by stainless steel. It is powered by 800MHz processor and 512MB RAM, and has 4GB internal storage. Along with a speaker and mic, the smartwatch has a 1.9MP camera.
