Samsung introduces new smartwatch

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced the launch of the Samsung Gear S2 smart watch, 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.
The Gear S2’s rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures users will have a quicker, more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications. It is introduced in two different options — the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic.
The Gear S2 classic is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering a black finish with a matching genuine leather band.
“For the past several years, Samsung has pioneered and advanced the wearables category, bringing brave new concepts to the smart wearables market,” said J.K. Shin, CEO and head of Samsung’s IT & Mobile Business.
A mere 11.4-millimeter thin, the Samsung Gear S2 brings a light and compact design to the wrist.
Users can stay connected with at-a-glance notifications to check calendars, e-mails, news and can even send important texts directly from their wrist. Users can choose the Gear S2 with 3G connectivity, which incorporates the first-ever e-SIM with voice capability, to perform quick functions without being closely tethered to their phone. New fitness functions on the Samsung Gear S2 will encourage consumers to stay healthy and active.
The Samsung Gear S2 comes with NFC technology, which will enable mobile payments without the need for a wallet. All of these connected features will be supported by a battery that can last up to 2-3 days.
Samsung is working closely with partners to offer a range of watch faces and watch bands so that users can have a variety of ways to express their personal style and mood.
