Thanks for bringing this up. Samsung did indeed release a smart watch smart watch “first”, if you don’t count the already very popular “Pebble” watch of course. The rumors of an Apple Watch started in 2010 after iPod Nanos were being fitted with watch straps. By the time rumors come out of Apple it usually means it’s already underway. In 2012 Apple officially began development of the Apple Watch. In 2013 Samsung released the “Galaxy Gear” which was so bad as a watch they didn’t even call it a watch yet. It was rushed to market to trick people into thinking they were “first”. If you don’t count the Pebble of course. Which was already a thing. Surely you remember. In 2014 the Apple Watch was announced by Tim Cook as a “one more thing”. In 2015 an Apple executive mentioned in a Wired article that Apple acknowledged that people always having their phones out made in-person communication impersonal and they were working on a new device would reduce the need to always have an iPhone out. The first Apple Watch was released on April 24, 2015. Now you do the same for Samsung.

[@gfyGoogle]

And Pebble and Sony released smartwatches before Samsung. And one of the iPod Nano’s from before even those was able to be used as a watch, even adding a bunch of faces in a software update. Also the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s design language has a lot more in common with the Apple Watch Ultra than the old asf Gear watches.

So for the average person that is walking down the street that can't tell them apart, all they see is a watch with 3 dials... And automatically thinks is one watch and not the other.. Same with this.

[@StarBrandPower]

I bought one, currently waiting for it to be delivered. I somewhat agree with your negative opinion about the bezel. This is my first smart watch and when deciding I was choosing between this and a refurbished watch 4 classic. Rotating bezel is why I considered spending on a cheaper used product, so you are right that feature is in demand. Ultimately I chose to get this product because of the toughness and the battery life, battery life most of all. That is probably why it is significantly more than the classic 7, the battery is an attractive feature. Its also not that expensive if you buy it directly from Samsung because they offer an option to split the payments up over 24 months.

Orange/red is just a bright, visible colour underwater. The squircle shape was used in the Galaxy Watch Gear Sport. The only thing I believe they copied was the quick button and the bands. About the buds tho, they took some "inspiration" with the speaker holes. Going with a pinch control blade light-designed stem does feel like a good move IMO as I was more into the stem controls as you can't accidentally pinch the stem (previous buds annoyed some people with the controls while adjusting the earbuds)

yea but if they used circle, it just looks more elegant its a watch after all and not a mini smart phone + rotatory dial with circular design and It could have been better than Apple and Yea instead of Orange, use RED

​@Faizan29353 Yeah, having that bright, awesome red would look LEAGUES ahead of orange. I've had the same thought since the launch and was sad that Samsung used a 1:1 match for Apple's accent colour.
