Only in Japan: Samsung Gear S WiFi version without 3G

The Samsung Gear S is a smart watch that could work on its own without the need of a smart phone. This is made possible with its own 3G SIM slot and it allows you to make phone calls and SMS from your wrist. But what happens if you take away its 3G slot? In Japan, Samsung has just released a WiFi only variant that’s exclusive to operator KDDI.

The 3G-less Gear S is basically the same smart watch but it relies solely on WiFi and Bluetooth for connectivity. It still lets you make phone calls from your wrist provided it is paired to your Galaxy device via Bluetooth. If you think about it, suddenly this model makes sense if you’re interested in wearing a bigger 2″ watch and still want to carry a smart phone around with you.

In Malaysia, the Samsung Gear S with 3G connectivity is available now at RM1,099. For current Galaxy Note 4 owners, you can get additional 20% off with their Galaxy Life promotion.
