**Samsung Gear S2 Classic Review**

The Samsung Gear S2 Classic is a sleek and stylish smartwatch that boasts a unique design and feature set. One of the standout features of this watch is its interchangeable straps, which can be easily swapped out to match your personal style. The strap I received was made of high-quality leather and had a 20mm standard band size, allowing me to seamlessly switch it out with other straps available in the market.

**Design and Features**

The Gear S2 Classic has a rotating bezel that allows you to control the watch's functions with ease. This feature is particularly useful for those who enjoy working out or engaging in activities where they need to track their progress. The watch also features an IP 68 certification, which means it can withstand being submerged in water up to 50 meters deep.

**Specifications**

In terms of specifications, the Gear S2 Classic is powered by a 1 GHz dual-core Exynos processor and comes with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage. It also features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC support, making it easy to connect to your smartphone or access various features like mobile payments.

**Screen and Display**

The watch boasts a 1.2-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 360x360 resolution, which provides vibrant colors and clear display. The screen is also equipped with an ambient display feature that keeps the dial always on, allowing you to check the time without having to wake up your phone.

**Battery Life**

Samsung claims that the Gear S2 Classic has a battery life of around 2-2.5 days, although I'll be testing this out in my next review to provide more accurate information.

**Pairing and Compatibility**

One of the unique features of the Gear S2 Classic is its compatibility with almost any Android device, not just Samsung phones. To use it with your smartphone, you need to download the Gear S2 software and install it on your phone before pairing them together.

**Software Experience**

The user interface of the Gear S2 Classic is intuitive and easy to navigate, thanks to the Touchscreen demo that allows you to explore various features like the home screen, back button, and S Voice assistant. The watch also comes pre-installed with a range of popular apps, including the S Health app, which tracks your fitness goals and provides personalized recommendations.

**Comparison with Other Smartwatches**

When compared to other smartwatches on the market, such as the Moto 360 Second Generation that I own, the Gear S2 Classic is slightly smaller in size, measuring 40mm compared to the 46mm of the Moto 360. However, both watches share similar features and design elements, making them comparable in terms of functionality.

**Conclusion**

Overall, the Samsung Gear S2 Classic is a stylish and feature-packed smartwatch that offers a unique blend of style, functionality, and compatibility. With its interchangeable straps, rotating bezel, and advanced software experience, it's sure to appeal to fans of smartwatches who are looking for a more premium experience.
