With a large rectangular screen, chromed edges, and prominent all glass front, the Gear S looks less like other smartwatches and more like an iPhone had a child with a rubber wristband. But if it looks a lot like a smartphone, that’s probably because it’s not too far off from being one. Unlike other smartwatches, the Gear S isn’t solely dependent on a Bluetooth link to another device; it has a complete set of hardware inside it, including an independent cellular radio that we’ll get to in a minute.

• HD Video: Connect in HD to your home on your phone, from anywhere
• Smart Alerts: Get notifications when an event is detected (noise or movement)
• 24/7 Security: 24h- Timelapse, 2-day diary of events & continuous recording options
• Air Quality: Monitor indoor air quality & be notified of pollution spikes
• Baby Monitor Mode: Hear and watch your baby, talk to them or entertain them with light & sound lullabies from your smartphone
