In less than two years time, the company has released six different models. On Monday, Samsung boosted that number to seven with the official unveiling of its Gear S2 smartwatch.
Samsung's Gear S2 comes in distinct models Classic and Standard. The classic model features a black casing with an accompanying black leather band while the standard model sports a dark grey casing with a some what lighter grey band. Both models feature a rotating bezel which can be used to navigate through system menus and interact with applications.
The Gear S2, Samsung is making a 3G option available for the standard model, thus allowing users to keep up with their mail, voice calls, and other tasks without having to be tethered to a smartphone.
"User can choose the Gear S2 with 3G connectivity which incorporates the first ever e-sim with voice capability" the press release states.
Following Apple's lead, the Gear S2 has a focus on personal fitness and can even support mobile payments.
The 24 hours activity log lets users view daily activity process and patterns at a glance. It will also send reminder updates to motivate users to stay on track with their fitness goals.

One area where the S2 sets itself apart from the Apple Watch is battery life. Where as battery life on the Apple watch lasts for up to 18 hours on a single charge, the Gear S2 touts a battery that can last for up to 2-3 days between charges.Not to shabby.
