Samsung Galaxy Gear S - Hands On
The Gear S almost looks like a large bangle or wrist cuff at first glance. The 2-inch, curved Super AMOLED screen sits directly in the silicon strap, which is just as wide as the watch face itself. The screen has a decent 360 × 480 pixel resolution, making it sharper and crisper than the Gear 2. Although it is a little too big to sit comfortably on small wrists, it’s simply more practical to have a larger screen on a smartwatch like the Gear S, which is supposed to do everything your phone can do (almost). The straps are interchangeable, and Samsung now offers black and white straps, as well as a fancy Swarovski crystal one for women. It’s unclear whether Samsung will include more strap options in the future, but it would add a personalized element to the watch. The strap is held in place on your wrist by a bizarre sliding clip that is difficult to close one-handed. To fit the Gear S to our wrist, we had to slide the size adjuster up to make it smaller and then slide the mechanism into place before snapping in into the hole. The mechanism kept sliding away from our intended hole, so we ended up with a looser fit than we’d initially intended. Once it’s in place, the metallic clip looks nice, but getting it on was a struggle. http://www.digitaltrends.com/wearables/samsung-gear-s-hands-on/
