Samsung's curved Gear S smartwatch hits the UK on November 7th for £329

With Android Wear still struggling to get out of the starting blocks, Samsung is hoping its latest Tizen-powered smartwatch can make some headway in the UK. The sleek Gear S, which comes with a curved 2-inch Super AMOLED display, will be available from November 7 for an eye-watering £329. The mammoth price-tag will almost certainly make it a niche product, although the device has a few tricks up its sleeve to tempt early smartwatch adopters. Unlike most wrist-worn wearables, it doesn't need to be paired with a smartphone, and boasts 3G and built-in GPS. You can even take calls Dick Tracy-style when you're too lazy to pull out your phone -- just don't blame us if you get funny looks when you do.
