Samsung Electronics has launched the Gear S2 smartwatch in the domestic market. The timepiece comes in two options—Gear S2 sports and Gear S2 classic. The Gear S2 classic will be available soon.

According to Samsung, the Gear S2 is compatible with smartphones running on Android 4.4 and higher with more than 1.5 GB of RAM. It features a 1.2-inch, circular Super AMOLED display with 360 x 360 resolution.

As the device comes with S Health, Nike+ Running fitness functions, it will encourage consumers 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 Gear S2 is ideal for those who are on the go and have an admiration for minimal and modern design. It has a rotating bezel, along with Home and Back buttons, that provides users a quicker and more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications.

According to the company, the Gear S2 classic, which will be available within two weeks, is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant black finish with a matching genuine leather band.
