The Latest Trend In Smart Watch Technology
REVIEW - Samsung Galaxy Gear S Smart Watches
Be on the cutting edge of technology with the Samsung Galaxy Gear S AMOLED Smart Watch. Designed with an elegant, curved, two-inch display, this timepiece is beautiful and functional, featuring a multi-touch screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and heart rate sensors for fitness applications. Stay connected via GSM connectivity with nano-SIM card support.
With its design, desirable looks and compatibility with rival Android smartphones, Samsung is a major player in the game.
Samsung Smart Watches operates at the 2G & 3G network speeds and use the Samsung Tizen-based wearable platform OS. The Tizen OS was a gamble for Samsung but has paid off, as it shows in their Gear S line of Smart Watches. It is easier to use than the Android Wear OS used in other smart watches and comparable to the Pebble OS.
Watch the video below on how to use the Samsung Gear S Smart Watch.
The Samsung Gear App Store has over 1000 apps already available which offers you even more ways to enjoy your mobile freedom.
In most cases you need to match your watch to your smartphone. One of the leading features of a smartwatch is that it pairs directly with your smartphone to deliver notifications, alerts and messages on your wrist. It allows you to keep your phone in your pocket, on the counter, desk or wherever you decide to leave it and it still requires you to have a smartphone handy. In the event your two devices are no longer in proximity of one another, certain functionality on your watch may be lost.
How about a standalone smartwatch?
A standalone smartwatch is one that includes all the features and functionality of a smartphone built-in. More importantly, they include support for 3G and 4G mobile networks thanks to integrated SIM card slots. It may not be the best solution in most cases, but for now it’s really the only one you have – at least if you want to use a “smart” watch that doesn’t require a paired device.
Standalone devices will connect to a network and update messages, alerts and notifications on their own. In many cases, a standalone watch will also work with a paired device, so you’re getting the best of both worlds.
With a standalone smartwatch, you can take calls, send texts and emails, and even browse the web all from your wrist. For all intents and purposes, this is a full-featured smartphone crammed into a wearable device. It also offers a whole slew of fitness tracking features, which is something you can expect from most smartwatches.
Note: Initially, you do need a smartphone to pair the Gear S with to get it working. Once that’s done and you have installed the apps you want on the watch, you won’t need a smartphone, which makes it a “standalone” device. Your carrier could activate the device the first time if you want to use it as a standalone.
Samsung's Gear S line of smart watches are in the standalone category.
