I think the Gear S was one of the most iconic and classy designs ever. Even after more than 10 years, it looks more futuristic than any designs they've come up with since. I believe there is an untapped market for this design. In my opinion, this design can compete directly with anything iPhone can produce. I would love to see Samsung do an update for this classic, yet futuristic design.

    DeepIn2U, 19 Apr 2024This will be Worst mistake Samsung will ever make on a prod... moreA choice is always better than no choice. You can see more on a square/rectangle watch. It only makes sense that it should resemble a si,ilar shape to your phone. Is your phone round or square? There will always be idiots out there who cannot see the benefits of a a square/recatangle screen. Samsung need to sort this out.

        Why Samsung don't give their customers a choice of both; round and square version of a smartwatch and let them decide what they prefer? Why there has to be only one shape available? Some people go for Apple watch only because they prefer a square shape so Samsung is losing those customers.

          This will be Worst mistake Samsung will ever make on a productifsqauredqatches from them comes back!!

          Nothing good will come of this!

              Read the caption. You're looking at the "Samsung Galaxy Gear from 2013".

                              Good. Round displays are dumb and inefficient content-wise. It's a digital device that's not just showing time, making it round and emulating the "analog" shape makes no sense

                                I don't really care for circle watch faces

                                    I actually prefer a square watch, but I love my watch 5 pro. Regardless, I hope this adds room to fit a larger battery inside. I can get 3-4 days which is fine, but that should be standard for the regular galaxy watch. The pro should be able to go much longer.

                                    Fortunately, the 2 chip/OS approach we see on the OnePlus Watch 2 is not proprietary. It was created by google so all smartwatches will be able to take advantage of Wear OS Hybrid. Most already have the hardware. That should further increase the battery life.
