Samsung announces the Gear S

The Gear S is now official, the Samsung Gear S runs on Tizen and probably the most noticeable thing about this wearable device is the fact that it can function independently of your smartphone to make and receive calls. The Gear S has a 3G enabled SIM-slot on the back.

Pairing with a smartphone, via Bluetooth, is an option and users can choose to use the device while syncing with their phones or using the smartwatch as a standalone device.
