Apple Watch was released sooner which means it might already close to its end of life and the next generation coming soon.Gear S2 Classic is also compatible with any strap that has a standard 20mm pin.More affordable – Gear S2 Classic ($350) finishing is equivalent to Apple Watch edition (not Sport) 38mm with leather band ($650).Gear S2 uses rotating bezel for navigation vs Apple Watch’s digital crown, personally it feels more natural.Rounded bezel makes it more like you are wearing a watch instead of a gadget.There are a number of reasons why you should consider to pick this over Apple Watch: Smart move, considering this is a fine piece of device.
