Introduced in two different options – the Gear S2 Classic and the Gear S2 Sport – Samsung designed the Gear S2 to appeal to two distinct consumer preferences.

It also offers an incredibly vibrant viewing experience for a smartwatch, thanks to its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 x 360 resolution (302 ppi).With its vibrant screen, applications on the Gear S2 can be viewed with amazing clarity so that users don’t miss notification pop-ups. The Gear S2 is also powered by the latest Tizen OS and an optimized 1.0 – GHz dual core processor, letting the Samsung Gear S2 perform tasks easily and efficiently.
The Gear S2 is also fitness orientated with the new fitness functions on the Samsung Gear S2 encouraging users to stay healthy and active. The 24-hour activity log lets users view daily activity progress and patterns at a glance. It will also send reminder updates to motivate users to stay on track with their fitness goals.
The new smartwatch was made available to the public at the Galaxy Studio, an exclusive pop-up shop at Dubai Mall.
