Samsung Gear S2

摘要

Samsung was the first big company to launch a modern smartwatch, and used its own software, Tizen, which worked with Samsung phones only. The new Gear S2 still uses Tizen rather than Android Wear, but does work with other phones that have Android 4.4 or later. The Gear S2 is extremely well made, although from a distance the Standard model, with its rubber strap, could be mistaken for a basic sports watch. Close up, it feels like a luxury product and the screen looks great. While the Apple Watch has a knob, the Gear S2's bezel turns to operate some functions, such as scrolling through messages. Unfortunately, too many aspects of the software are confusing, voice recognition is unreliable, and the apps aren't as good as Android Wear's.
