Based on our time with the Samsung Gear S2, we think it's a sleek smartwatch with an attractive design. It offers fairly standard smartwatch features like fitness tracking, but also includes some rather interesting features including a rotating bezel used for navigating the UI and enhanced app...

Samsung seems to have gotten the wearable right. And we do mean it when comparing the Gear S2 with other smartwatches that have been around in India. Officially launched in October 2015, the Gear S2 was pushed by Samsung into India only recently.

As easy to get on with as a Pebble, as stylish as an Apple Watch and with that tactile, rotating bezel as its secret weapon, the Gear S2 is the kind of smartwatch you'd kick yourself for leaving at home.

Rotating bezel FTW; Simple; speedy to use OS; Good battery life

Tizen apps are limited; Software extras aren't perfect; Not as customisable as rivals

The Samsung Gear S2 is priced at $299 for the Original edition, with the Classic version setting you back an additional $150, putting them squarely among the typical Android Wear offerings out there. So there you have it for this in-depth look at the Samsung Gear S2!

-Accessible and durable design -Premium version available for those who want it; at a price -Manageable size makes it suitable for most wrists -Unique input method with rotating bezel is useful -Battery life is quite impressive -Good display experience -Smooth performance

I have owned many watches in my life, but this one is the best thing I have ever put on my wrist. I call it a thing because it is a watch, a phone, a fitbit, and closely resembles Wonder Woman's Bracelets of Submission (I'd gladly submit). They should call it a phwatch of Submission.
