At IFA event, Samsung gave more details of their sixth Smartwatch, Gear S that can work on its own with a nano-SIM support. It just needs a first time pairing with a compatible Galaxy device and after that you can use the SmartWatch paired or otherwise. So with Gear S you can make calls, read emails as well as reply directly from the watch using a tiny on-screen keyboard and then it comes with a full range of fitness and health monitors. To it’s credit, it’s quiet different from any other SmartWatches now in terms of usability and it is almost a wrist-worn computer.

Gear S manages to push ahead the display size from the 1.63 inch screens we have seen in other Gear devices to 2-inch Super AMOLED curved display. Though massive the curved contours should make it more comfortable to wear than a rectangular block.

Samsung is trying to split their attention between Android Wear and Tizen, so they have watches running on both the platform. Gear S runs on Tizen and the company says they have 1000 apps already for the ecosystem.

Like Samsung’s other smartwatches, the Gear S features a built-in heart-rate monitor and pedometer. A new addition is the Gear S’s UV monitor, if you are worried about the sun burns. You can sync the data with S-Health app to further analyze it and monitor your fitness and health activities.

Samsung has not announced the pricing of the Gear S but it will go on sale this fall.
