        Might be because tizen is still dubious to some, but then again Motorola and huawei aren't there either.

          Samsung is the pioneer in the category & they will be back on the chart. They are heading in the right direction with the Gear S2 & S2 Classic. They are really really good in terms of usability & design. I'm currently using LG Watch R. But... Android wear is boring. Looking forward to get a Gear S2 Classic. Lets see.

                            I love my Samesung smartwatch. It syncs perfectly with my Samesung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Gear VR. I use my Galaxy Gear VR to read my emails every morning. It burns my eyes but I love and trust Samesung.

                            FG

                            PS: Did you know I own a Samesung Galaxy Note 4?

                                        proves that being first really doesn't matter !!!

                                        anyway gear , gear fit etc etc from samsung are all half baked when it arrived .
                                        samsungs way of innovation is putting many things together and trying to sell
