A lot has happened since Samsung unveiled its first smart watch a couple of years ago. No longer is its latest version stuck with a square screen . Nor it is a totally useless gizmo without your phone.

When we took Samsung's first smartwatch flagship , we pinned the thing as a smartphone that tried to be everything it could on a chunky wrist lump. It did so much, maybe too much for a watch.
It's finally happening. The smartwatch market is growing up. Manufacturers are learning from their own mistakes and those of others. They're listening to customers and paying attention to fashion and watch history.
We reviewed the Samsung Gear S2 soon after it launched, but we now have its better-looking fraternal twin, the Gear S2 Classic, in house. Let's take a quick look at Samsung's US$50 more expensive smartwatch that looks like a real watch.
During IFA 2015 in Berlin, Samsung unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Samsung Gear S2. The circular smartwatch is the first of its kind from Samsung, and the company promised exciting things regarding the Gear S2, but did the company deliver?
Samsung's new Gear S2 smartwatch has been officially introduced to the world, and it's actually pretty damn impressive. Google's Android Wear ecosystem is about to get its first true competitor outside of the Apple Watch - it's going to be a hell of a fight.

Smart wearables are currently gaining traction in the mobile devices market, especially since fitness has become much more popular among young adults these days. Smart wearables designers know that designing a device that goes with fashion is an important step, and many smart wearables in the market...
Notifications viewing; Highly customisable
Slight heart-rate variation
This isn't Samsung's first rodeo when it comes to smartwatches, and after some interesting creations in the past, Samsung has taken a clear leaf out of Android Wear's book (and probably a bit from Apple Watch's book too) in designing the Gear S2.
