There’s quite a lot to look at with the Gear S2 and S2 Classic as far as features go. The standard Gear S2 also features customizable band options, but they are proprietary in design which will be available from Samsung and other third-party manufacturers though the process to swap out the bands may not be ideal. With its traditional watch appearance and standard interchangeable strap sizing, it just suites my style more.

No word on charging times, but it likely won’t take long given the battery capacity available with the two models.īoth of these watches have a solid metal build and the software experience will be the same between them, but my favorite has to be the Classic version. Speaking of charging, it rests on a small little Moto 360-like Qi charging dock that plugs into the wall with a Micro USB cable. I can’t comment on battery life at this moment, but Samsung claims 2 to 3 days on a single charge. The bezel can be used scroll through the available apps, which can then be selected by tapping on the screen, but you can also use this to scroll through settings and emails, things like that. It’s the best form of navigation on a smartwatch to date. Definitely something you need to experience. I’d have to say that it easily beats out the Digital Crown control on the Apple Watch because it just feels better. Literally, the bezel can be rotated to control the watch. The way you move through the menus and options is the new rotating bezel. One is used to access the available apps and the second is a simple back button. On the side of each version, there are two buttons. One of my favorite features is the way you navigate through everything. The user interface is fluid and easy to navigate and seemingly well organized compared to previous Tizen smartwatches. Get rid of any dirty thoughts you’ve had about Tizen, because this is so much better than any iteration I’ve seen. Samsung’s new Gear lineup is running Tizen as we’ve seen in the past, but with a new lease on life. There’s also a small microphone that will allow for voice commands and replies.Ĭheck out our Gear S2 vs S2 Classic impressions video below: Along with that, we have IP68 water resistance, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, and a 250mAh battery (300mAh for the 3G model).

Powering this setup is an Exynos 3250 processor in the Bluetooth versions, but there will also be a model with standalone 3G connectivity that will use a slightly different processor model.
The Gear S2 is standard model that looks a little sporty, but definitely feels great in the build department, while the S2 Classic will give you more of, well, a classic watch style…īoth of these little guys pack a 1.2-inch circular Super AMOLED display with a pixel packed resolution of 360 x 360 (302 ppi).
