Samsung has officially unveiled its new smartwatches

After months of rumors and speculation, Samsung has officially unveiled its next smartwatches, known as the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 Classic. Both of them feature the circular design and rotating bezel that we’ve been hearing so much about, but where they differ is in the band. Whereas the Gear S2 seems to be aimed for at athletic users with its rubberized band, the Classic’s design feels much more like a traditional watch with its leather band. 

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch, the company’s latest offering as a result of many years of progressive innovation in the wearables category. The Samsung Gear S2 comes in a versatile, circular design with an intuitive, custom UX and advanced features that enable users to enhance, personalize and bring more fun to their mobile experience. The Gear S2’s unique rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures users will have a quicker, more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications. Introduced in two different options – the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic – Samsung designed the Gear S2 to appeal to two distinct consumer preferences. The Gear S2 classic is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant Black finish with a matching genuine leather band. The Gear S2 is ideal for those who are on-the-go and have an admiration for minimal and modern design.
