Getting a Smartwatch
More of our everyday devices are becoming "smart," meaning that they can perform various functions. Now, there is such a thing as a smart watch. Smartwatches, such as the rose gold Gear S2 Classic are watches that can do far more than just tell time.
What are the Benefits of Having a Smartwatch?
One may argue that a smartwatch isn't necessary. However, smartwatches can be very helpful in everyday situations.
- Tell Time: These wearable smart devices with AMOLED displays can still tell time with just a quick glance. Android watches, such as the Gear S2 Classic, are still shaped like a traditional watch with a round screen.
- Apps: Smartwatches can do much more than tell time. The watch has a variety of Samsung apps built-in to the device, such as text message, email and music apps. You can also download a variety of compatible mobile applications to your app.
- Wearable: A big benefit comes from the fact that you can wear this device. This means that you can go on a run without having to bring your smartphone. You can still listen to music with Bluetooth headphones and you are still connected to the digital world through Wi-Fi but it is all on your wrist and doesn't have to be stored in a pocket for hands-free use.
- Syncing: You can sync your watch to a variety of devices. For everyday use, your Gear S2 can connect to your phone so that you can get all of your correspondence on your watch. For those who are more fitness-minded, fitness trackers such as the Fitbit or a heart rate monitor can also connect to your watch, although the watch also comes with a health app that can perform as a pedometer.
- Style: Because these are worn on your wrist, you can accessorize and choose the style that suits your fashion sense. Because many Android watches look similar to a classic watch, it won't call as much attention as a watch with a square digital display. You also purchase plated accessories, such as a rose gold frame, and different wrist strap when you want to change your style as well.
What are Some Features on the Gear S2?
Released in 2015, the Gear S2 smartwatch has plenty of features that may make it appealing to customers.
- Rotating Bezel: Surrounding the screen is a circular frame that rotates called a bezel. This allows you to flip through the apps and scroll through emails and social media without covering up or smudging the screen with your fingers.
- Inactivity Alerts: When you have a desk job or are otherwise relatively inactive, the Samsung watch will alert you every so often to stand up and stretch your legs.
- Compatibility: Though this is a watch with only Samsung features, the watch can sync with a variety of other brands, including some of its major competition, so you don't need to purchase other products since it is compatible.
