Samsung Gear S Price in Pakistan
The unique selling point of the Gear S is that the device can work fully without needing to be connected to a companion smartphone or tablet. Most smartwatches will play stored music and perform a few functions on their own but require a connection to something else to make use of its data connections.
The Gear S can work by itself because it has a SIM-card slot, however, you'll need a Samsung device to set it up initially (see software). With its own SIM, the Gear S can do everything your smartphone can do like make calls (it has a tiny speaker), send texts and connect to 3G networks – no 4G here.

If you're not too fussed about putting a SIM-card in (even though that's the point), the Gear S does have built-in Wi-Fi (11n) so you can use it without a companion device if there's an available network near. It's good to see other hardware features such as GPS and a heart rate monitor.
The question is whether anyone want a smartwatch to work this and we don't think, in general, the answer is yes. For starters you'll have to pay for a different tariff and secondly give everyone a second phone number. The only way around it is to constantly swap your SIM from phone to watch, but we don't think that's the idea here.
Like most smartwatches hitting the market at the moment, the Gear S has 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. It's running on a 1GHz dual-core processor though which is clocked a little lower than rivals. That doesn't seem to matter though as performance seems perfectly acceptable to us.
As we've mentioned already, the screen is curved and at 2in is the largest we've seen on a smartwatch – most are around 1.6in. This is the main reason why the device is so big and while more screen real estate is good for viewing content, it just feels too big for a smartwatch.
Plus points include Samsung's Super AMOLED technology and resolution of 360 x 480. However, even at full brightness we found the screen a little hard to see – to be fair the show lights at IFA create demanding conditions so it probably looks fine regularly.
