Based on the many innovations presented by Samsung s latest model in wearable territory, it can be said that the answer is yes. Or at least that is the opinion of many users who have already worn the Samsung Gear 2 Classic on their wrist.
With an impeccable finish and a very intuitive graphical interface, the Korean manufacturer's smartwatch has not only become a reference to follow, but it is a before and after in the world of smartwatches.
In the analysis of all its new features it is mandatory to start by emphasizing that Samsung has dispensed with the Android Wear operating system, replacing it with its own, the Tizen software, which as it seems is a very complete operating system, and above all, very easy to handle. Some of its outstanding functionalities are: gyroscope, pulsometer, stopwatch, barometer, ACC sensor, GPS (3G) and ambient light.
With all this, the Samsung Gear S2 Classic enhances the user experience, thanks to its four key sections:
Trendy design and easy handling.
The Gear S2 comes in a circular form factor, compact design and rotating bezel. So zooming in on a map, scrolling through incoming emails or jumping from one song to another will be as easy and fast as rotating its bezel in a single movement.
It brings with it a touchscreen and super AMOLED display, and back/home buttons, which make it easy to use and operate this watch, apart from its functional bezel.
In addition, its wide variety of materials - such as garilla glass 3 makes it easy to customize this smartwatch to the consumer's taste, down to the last detail, even allowing the strap to be changed without too much hassle. It even features the exclusive designs of the renowned Alessandro Mendini.
Autonomy and weight
With the Samsung Gear S2, the user has the possibility to do everything he can imagine. If the 250 mAh battery needs to be charged, a wireless charging base will suffice.
In addition, the user will hardly notice that he is wearing it, since the weight of the Samsung Gear S2 Classic ranges between 42 and 47 grams, depending on the model purchased.
Staying in shape
With the S Health function there will no longer be excuses to lead a healthier and more active life, and this smartwatch is able tocontrol your daily physical activity, as well as record your heart rate, and even presents motivational messages to achieve the goals set. It includes sleep monitoring.
The Samsung Gear S2 can select the sport mode to be performedrunning, cycling, hiking and fitness activities with cardio equipment), and also keep under control the heart rate and count the steps taken. On the other hand, the different collaborations that Samsung has closed allow it to incorporate apps such as Nike Running to monitor and record all runs in sports mode.
And if the user of this smartwatch does not conceive the idea of practicing his favorite sport while listening to music, the Gear S2 allows you to synchronize up to 300 songs through the smartphone. Not forgetting that through Bluetooth it is also possible to synchronize the headphones.
Connected even without a cell phone
The Samsung Gear S2 also allows you to be in constant communication with family and friends, and without the need to have the smartphone at hand. It gives you the option to read and reply to messages, check your phonebook and return calls - an option only valid for the 3G model, although it is also possible to use the headset via Bluetooth - manage e-mails... by simply turning the bezel.
Compatibility with other devices
Another of the sections to take into account of the Samsung Gear S2 is that of compatibility with other gadgets. This smartwatch is compatible with all Samsung smartphones with Android OS or higher, and 1.56GB of RAM. It is also compatible with any smartphone with Android 4.4 or higher, and 1.56GB of RAM.
