Samsung Gear S, now with release date of October, is not meant to work with your smartphone. Samsung made it to work on its own. As the company says, it's a "next generation smart wearable device that expands the smartphone experience to the wrist."

Samsung Gear S makes users "truly connected" as it offers 3G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity. It boasts of a SIM-card slot that lets people make and receive calls and text messages from the wrist. It features onscreen keyboard that allows replying to text messages. With the device placed on the wrist, users can perform tasks directly - unlike smartphones when you still have to spend a few seconds to pick it up or even a few minutes to locate where you might have placed it. Yes, with this Samsung wearable device, the chances of losing your gadget is very slim.

However, you will need your Samsung smartphone (that runs on Android 4.3 or later) so you can download apps. CNET says "it's not totally self-sufficient smartwatch after all... but it comes close". It is for this reason that some experts and users may find this gadget somewhat limiting. According to PC Advisor, "You may know someone with a device you can borrow for this task but it's quite simply a stupid decision from Samsung meaning that it immediately limits the amount of users who will be able to start using the Gear S and may put them off buying it the first place."

Samsung Gear S stands out with its two-inch curved Super AMOLED display that viewing the screen is easier. Once you bought it on its release date, do not be surprised if people give it a look as it deserves it. Gear S is IP67 water resistant but make no mistake - it can't be worn while swimming. It's not an underwater gadget. You'll also be pleased to know that it carries other hardware features like heart rate monitor and GPS.

You can say Gear S is the coolest smartwatch to date as it lets you make a statement: You are not only wearing a watch - you are in fact flaunting a "smartphone on your wrist". Remember the Samsung Gear S release date: October. You may even want to advance your style by grabbing a piece that features Samsung Gear S Strap with Swarovski.
