Round smartwatch: teaser ehealth for Samsung Gear S2

Samsung Electronics round smartwatch is coming: In a teaser ehealth, the manufacturer gives a few first impressions of the interface of the Gear S2 – and also reveals the date for the official presentation.

A round smartwatch from Samsung has been haunting the rumor mill for months. The watch was finally officially mentioned – albeit very briefly – at the press event, which was largely about the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 edge +.

Now Samsung has published a teaser ehealth that primarily gives an insight into the surface of the watch. Here you can see, for example, a menu for the app selection, in which the icons for the individual applications are arranged in a circle. There is obviously a mechanically rotatable bezel for control, the Korean equivalent to the crown of Apple's Watch, so to speak.

Google's Android Wear is not used as the operating system, but apparently a proprietary OS from Samsung, which is probably based on Tizen as in the previous models. Otherwise, we see in the ehealth a hint that a heart rate sensor is on board.

By the way, it will now be clear when the Gear S2 will be presented. At the end of the ehealth, Samsung promises: “The new Samsung Gear S2. Coming soon. Berlin 09.03.2015 “, whereby the date was probably written according to the American standard. The Samsung press conference at the IFA will take place in Berlin on September 3rd. We are of course on site and will report live for you.
