Smartwatch and “elegant” have yet to go together.
Both Apple and Samsung products still demonstrate that there is a long way to go. Any device that attempts to replicate the phone will NOT, by functional definition and design, be “elegant” on the wrist.
Meh. We’ll see. I did think the bezel scroll was nifty.
Looks nice. I’ve had the Gear S for about a year. Nice functionality, beats the Apple watch from what I’ve seen to compare. Mine is a bit bulky (only slightly bigger) but I wear it every day. Tells the time in various formats, brings in my phone calls and can be used hands free, gives me detailed local weather, tracks fitness, plays music, lets me scan/read my emails, has a scheduler, messaging, a navigator, news feed, alarm, and a bit more. Syncs to my Samsung smartphone. The Gear series has been out longer than the Apple Watch and seems to be a better product.
