Samsung's next smartwatch to function independently: report

GOING SOLO: The new smartwatch will be a modified version of the recently launched Gear 2 smartwatch.

Based on the recently unveiled Gear 2, the new device is set to come with its own SIM card. 

That means, if the report in the Korea Herald is accurate, that wearers will be able to use the watch for making voice calls and for surfing the next, with or without a smartphone.
