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.

When Samsung launched its original Gear S in 2014, the rectangular based smartwatch met with a yowling MEH from tech enthusiasts and customers all over the world. But then, Gear S was an exorbitantly ambitious wearable with lots of expectations, which was trying to be a jack-of-all-trades, but...

Subtle Design; Innovative Rotating Bezel; Bright; Sharp & Responsive Screen; Compatible with Most of the Android Phones; Long Battery Life; Intuitive Controls; IP68 Certified; Solid S-Health App

Tizen OS Still Lacks Good Apps Selection; Average S Voice Assistant

It's hardly a stretch to say that the Gear S2 is Samsung's best effort yet at making a compelling smartwatch. The hardware is very attractive and well made, and between the standard and Classic version you'll likely be able to settle on one that fits your style.

Compact and light; Innovative rotating bezel; Great screen; Good battery life

Software still tries to do too much; Native apps offer poor experience; More complicated than Android Wear; Notification support not entirely universal

The next Smartwatch that Samsung launched called the Gear S2 is pretty interesting and innovative. The Samsung Gear S2 is using a new style of navigation; simply rotate the circular dial in clockwise or anti clockwise direction.

The Gear S2 is an interesting new player in the wearable realm that definitely offers a twist or two of its own to impress. Granted, that is still the case with most other offers in the fresh and rapidly-developing smartwatch niche, but the Gear S2 is a true change of pace within Samsung's rich...

Samsung was one of the first to release a smartwatch and a few devices later it has run between Android Wear and its own proprietary system that would only work with Samsung smartphones.

When you can do so much with your smartphone, it's easy to assume that your smartwatch needs to be equally capable in order to make it worthwhile on your wrist. Problem is, all those talents can turn the wearable experience into a confusing morass of tapping, swiping, scrolling, and swearing.

It's no secret Samsung is doing its best to make Tizen a force in the platform wars currently controlled by Apple and Google. For years, Samsung's hardware has paired with an operating system over which it has diminishing control, and despite its incredible success in the market, the inevitability...

About two years ago, it brought us the HTMLTagInstance html-tag-bd1f15b5-7bd7-480a-a152-9ea896b44fcb Galaxy Gear, which was the company’s first attempt at making a modern smartwatch. Then came the HTMLTagInstance html-tag-19a3a45a-0f49-42c6-909d-613bc0f94b79 Gear 2, which filled many of the gaps its predecessor missed, all while adding extras like a camera and a speaker. And for the Gear S, Samsung threw in a larger screen along with a SIM card slot for cellular connectivity. The Samsung Gear S2, however, is shaping up like the first smartwatch by Samsung that holds potential to make a splash on the market -- the first that may appeal to a broad audience of geeks and non-geeks. And we’ve been excited to review it ever since it got announced -- we’ve been looking forward to test-driving its unique rota...
