It also packs quite the nice hardware for such a small gadget, and it’s designed with long battery life in mind. Which is good, because smartwatches have been plagued by battery issues pretty much since day one, and these devices have been commonly criticized for their long-term performance in this regard.
But the Gear S2 is already enjoying a lot of positivity from people and many agree that it’s the perfect balance of features and durability of the battery, even for power users who like to interact with their watches more often than others.
Is this watch going to change the public perception of smartwatches even more and push them towards the mainstream even further? It’s probably a bit too early to tell, but we definitely expect this to happen with a little bit of luck.
Even if it doesn’t manage to live up to the hype quite so much though, it should still make a nice splash and make the idea of smartwatches slightly more popular than it already was, which will reflect positively on the industry as a whole. And with that, we are going to see a lot more solutions in the future, perhaps even some more unusual ones that we would have never imagined possible just a few years ago before the whole smartwatch craze.
