After much anticipation, the Samsung Gear S2 has finally hit shelves across the world and has already garnered a great deal of attention, thanks to its innovative rotating bezel, convenient connectivity features and stylish appearance.
We have just gotten our own unit today, the sport version. It came in a paper round box. Once you lift the watch holder lid up, you can basically see everything else that come in the box – an adapter, a wireless charging dock, additional large strap, warranty and start-up guide.
Featuring a minimal and modern design, the Sport version is perfect for those with active lifestyles, re: for runners. Heheh!
The watch feels light on the wrist. We have yet to check out the slew of features that come with the watch. Watch this space for our review.
