    AnonD-13315, 24 Apr 2015Big mistake, they should go for flatter and thinner screens... morethat's correct

      How many more watches Samsung going to make? Really impressive! They are not loyal towards their own products how come customers will be loyal!

        Big mistake, they should go for flatter and thinner screens and not watch faced looking devices. Watch faced devices will flop miserably as can be seen by the others that came out and flopped.

                    Round Samsung with power efficiency of 14nm so longer battery life and design cues from S6 my wallet is ready.

                      I'm ready for some new Fit news. I like mine but I'll be interested to know what the second gen looks like. Always wished the first one was slimmer.

                      Not sure how I feel about the round screens. Make sense for normal watches but on screens, you're just cutting real estate

                            Anonymous, 23 Apr 2015The purported SoC, if true, will be overkill...Of course, but designing and fabricating a dedicated smartwatch SoC is a lot more expensive. The 7420 is known to be exceptionally small (78mm²)in its current form, compared to most other mobile SoC's. That helps and just like with earlier smartwatch SoC's, they can only use 1 or 2 cores to keep power consumption to a minimum. In theory even remove some of the physical cores to reduce size too...

                              I really hope Samsung change their policy on smartwear exclusive use with only Samsung smartphones. They lose many people that want to buy their nice smartwear variety.
                              P.S.:I know that there are ways to pair them with other devices but that's not for everyone, and some functions are not used so it's not really great.

                                If the size is right, this might replace my moto360
