Before even getting into the nitty gritty, let me answer what's undoubtedly on many of your minds: if you've been holding out for the right Samsung smartwatch to buy, you may well have just found it.
The Samsung Gear S2 may be the first of the Korean firm's wearables worth your attention, but the Gear S2 Classic might be the first worth the scratch. Due out this October for a still-undisclosed ( and likely eye-watering) price, the Gear S2 Classic takes everything that's brilliant about its primary counterpart and fits it in an incredibly stylish package.
That includes the hardware inside, from the Super AMOLED screen to the processor and array of sensors, to the hardware outside, like that clever, rotating bezel. This isn't just Samsung's answer to the more fashion-forward Android Wear watches, like the Moto 360 and Huawei Watch, but its number one rival: the Apple Watch.
