Samsung's SIM, Wi-Fi and curved display-toting Gear S smartwatch will be making its way to the US sometime later this fall, the company has announced. The Gear S will be offered by Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T, and it's possible the smaller carriers will also be offering it for sale at some point. T-Mobile will be releasing more information on the watch sometime in October, which will likely include pricing and a concrete release date, while AT&T has said that its retail stores will be offering “previews” of the smartwatch soon.

The Gear S sports a 2-inch curved Super AMOLED display, and is the first smartwatch from Samsung and in general that supports an inbuilt SIM card slot and Wi-Fi chip for standalone operation. Other hardware includes a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage, and a 300 mAh battery that offers battery life of up to two days; the Gear S runs on Tizen like the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, and you can check out our hands-on preview of the watch here.
