Samsung Gear S2 vs Apple Watch - Ultimate Smartwatch Comparison

[@ahmedsenbel]

Hi, when rotating the front ring on the gear to select an app. you don't have to click on the small icon to open it, it's enough to point to it and click the center of the screen, that's the way it was designed.

[@Misherop_Tur]

That is an awesome detail. Thank you very much. I found my old s2 while waiting for watch 6 classic. And I am impressed, this thing was annoying though

[@TimLucasdesign]

These comments are so ridiculous. Apple don't suck, Samsung don't suck. They both make fantastic products we all benefit from. How wonderful we get to choose either of these watches. How wonderful we get to choose an iPhone or an Android phone, a Mac or a Windows PC. These companies are making cool stuff. I personally prefer the round face of the Samsung watch and the rotatable bezel is preferable to a crown (for me). My Issue with Apple is they won't open up their products for people outside the Apple realm. The Apple watch should work with an Android phone. Facetime should be released for the Android OS (just like Google hangouts and Android Wear are offered on IOS) Don't be so stingy, Apple!

[@TimLucasdesign]

+The Vlogging Kid I'm not a huge fan of Samsung at all, but I think the Gear S2 is gorgeous (it's what I expected from Apple when they announced their watch). I'm not a fan boy of anyone, but I think it's lame that Apple don't open up their technology to run on other platforms. That's the opposite of being a fanboy - it's promoting choice.

[@intensity7x705]

+Tim Lucas You are the only person who has made sense and gown conversations I thank you!

[@intensity7x705]

+Tim Lucas Im a Samsung man fom TVs to Dvds but Own a Macbook and like you said its about what works for you!!!

[@SeeNoEvL65]

+The Vlogging Kid He threw the edge to Samsung cause they offered more of what he likes, he says they both good but he prefers the Samsung watch and you come out of nowhere talking about fanboy 😒 why the fuck we gotta explain this to you

[@TimLucasdesign]

+The Vlogging Kid Nope- being stingy isn't the same as sucking.

[@mattiapascalprocopio]

The Samsung Gear S2 blow the Apple Watch out. I love the Gear S2

[@Oilrigger11]

All I saw was a round piece of 💩 tbh it's kind of ugly and doesn't even have that many features

[@Bj1596]

I am not convinced with the idea of smart watches really. Like what's the point of having a smart watch that does what all your smart devices do, but with a smaller display view?

[@jaferlastname1760]

Connor T Exactly

[@jaferlastname1760]

Basil Jabri Convenience

[@nikamikhin4794]

Basil Jabri+ well if these watches evolve far enough maybe they will be like a stand alone tech. a smaller than a phone on the go calling, texting and basic apps use thing.

[@MegaBigboss111]

The Samsung Gear S2 has a Super AMOLED screen. Not an inferior OLED screen... Nice one...

[@MsMonster128]

Sorry to disappoint you but "Super Amoled" is just OLED,it's just like a marketing thing. "Super Amoled" sounds way more appealing than "Oled",same with Super LCD of HTC,and Trilominous of Sony,do you want another one? "Retina" display of Apple,is just a high density display,but retina sounds more appealing,nowadays all smartphones have "Retina display" but we associate Retina with Apple because that's how marketing works,and we can tell that it does work because your comment.

[@MegaBigboss111]

+MsMonster128 ...you do realize that there is a difference between Super AMOLED and OLED... Right?!

[@MsMonster128]

MegaBigb yeah they're brigther and shit,just like any other generation would have (regardless of thedisplay technology) it's stupid to say (i'm not saying that you said that) that they would use the same oleds and just call them "super amoleds",it's better because it's a newer generation,but uses the same display technology buddy

[@MegaBigboss111]

+MsMonster128 My point still stands that they are different screens. No, not much of a difference, but there is one. Thank you for explaining OLED to me though, and for not being an ass.

[@stardustb390]

+MsMonster128 SuperAMOLED is defiantly another thing,Super AMOLED compared to other OLEDs,Like P-OLED and JOLED displays that they last longer,Better viewing angle and the main reason,Which is using diamond pentile arrangement to allow full subpixel rendering,And it is more expensive,In short words,It is the best panel..

[@dr6770]

I have the iPhone and I like that phone and I want a gear s2. I prefer the design of the gear over the apple watch but the gear isn't compatible with my iPhone.

[@alexburnet9133]

+JackSILVER do you know that Apple and Samsung are 2 different companies, They don't work together

[@josephnguyen2121]

+Alex burnet Samsung is working on making the Gear S2 compatible with iOS, so....

[@alexburnet9133]

+metagrime No one on iOS would buy it though if that they did, it would be a waste of their time and money

[@josephnguyen2121]

+Alex burnet well imo the gear s2 classic looks a lot better than the apple watch and is a lot cheaper

[@alexburnet9133]

+metagrime I prefer the look of the Apple Watch and the model of Apple Watch that they used in the video is £249 and the s2 classic is £269 so the Apple Watch is also cheaper

[@2kreal]

The Gear S2 is amazing

[@ZOOOKAGE]

Agreed. Beautiful.

[@bryanmiller476]

With the gear s2 round design and rotating bezel for controls it cramps the apps down to the outter edge and vastly limits the amount of apps to just enough to go around the screen where as Apple Watch allows limitless apps to float around in empty space and never fills up

[@Xtralicu]

+Bryan Miller Its a watch, you don't need a 100 apps on that thing. Most people only use it for custom faces, message reading and picking up calls.

[@sergioparedes3540]

Amazing! Buy the apple watch just bc it will never fill. It doesn't matter that it sucks

[@Outlaw_j84]

+Sergio Paredes don't buy it

[@nicolasderagon5065]

im pretty sure you can scroll through the touch screen to access more apps

[@ado9679]

However Samsung did obviously try to out due Apple and i believe they succeeded, such a comfortable design and I'm glad they tried a circle to keep it classic and made it work.

[@tykosteamboat5570]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@dartmouthskater25]

you can flip the orientation of the apple watch so the when worn on the right wrist the digital crown is on the left side so it's much easier to use than reaching across the watch like you did in this video.

[@motivationandtravelchannel4575]

He said "You can DEFINITELY 2:06 take these things for a swim" WRONG! According to Apple they DO NOT recommend it and will violate your warranty!

[@GabrielIgnacio]

IP68 does allow for Amy compliant device to be submerged into water for 30 minutes without risk of damage but the term is water resistance, not waterproof. Assuming the water itself is not of the saltwater variety or laced with chlorine, either watches can handle a dip; just don't expect to get a warranty replacement unless the watch itself has a defect.

[@antlou123]

Great review! it is just the info I needed before I buy the Samsung smart watch.

[@crimsonstang]

Google should sue Apple for that "force touch" crap. Android has had that for years, and Apple is saying that it's an "innovation" from them.

[@cliffordlycanwhite5744]

[@darrenhall7990]

are we ever going to see the Gear S3? Is it worth the wait or should I just buy the S2? From what I've read the differences are LTE calling, GPS, and Samsung Pay.

[@215nerf]

gear s3 will not be game game changer so i would recommend you to buy the s2 when the s3 comes so that the prices will be lower.(gear s2 owner btw)

[@BuffajoeFourteen]

Even the gear s2 has samsung pay, your going to be spending an extra 80-100 pounds to be able to make calls from a watch which is just going to look dumb.

[@axelevensen3825]

Darren Hall looked at the s3 today...it's not as "classy" and a lot more clunky, which personally I don't like. I'd get the s2, which you CAN make calls from if you buy it from a cell phone carrier which attaches it to a data plan. The other Bluetooth version will notify you of calls, but you pick it up on your phone.

[@TheCanes1219]

FishyJoe I have the Gear S3 and I make and receive calls by Bluetooth headset and it's so nice to be able to go running without my phone and not missing calls

[@dennishaughton4554]

I have the s3 too. My biggest problem is that the gear store does not have apps that people use on a daily. I was not impressed that there's no music streaming app like pandora, etc. I love the fact that it's a stand alone watch where u don't need to have your phone on u. I go running a lot so I thought this watch would b perfect. Need more compatible apps man. Need pandora asap!

[@maloney1294]

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not but do you have to use the scroll wheel to operate it?

+Vedmanvitha Ketireddy ok thanks, that's one sale for Samsung

[@semenovmarat]

you can use touch screen and the rotating tools on both smart watches

[@konalavajava]

great review as usual. Keep up the good work. You didn't mention the Dick Tracy feature of making and taking calls. The S 2 3G should be able to do that. Would have been nice to see you make a call on the s2 and see how loud the speaker is. By the way, I still love my gear s and think it's a great looking watch. Who wants to look like anyone else and everyone else anyway? hey, many of us are in the market for new mobile workstations. Dell is coming out with new precision workstations and HP is doing the same. Would love to see some good reviews for mobile workstations that can handle good video editing.

[@flapflapflap]

I have an iPhone, iPad and a MacBook but I think the Apple Watch looks really silly with its rectangular shape. It's far from intuitive and annoying to use. Samsung's Gear S2 Classic, in my opinion, rocks and is the better of the two devices. I am going to buy the Gear S2 eventually as I use the Blackberry Priv.

[@gn01816984]

Very detailed comparison, nicely done.

[@zubeiradam1692]

I thought only the gear s2 3g had 3g? WoW samsung won by a lot

[@josdelange4396]

Nice comparison. Thanks. From a designer's viewpoint I find the Samsung bezel a great innovation, nicer then for instance the adaptive bezel of the Chinese Ticwatch. And don't forget, the ring bezel is great for left handed people. That thingy on the Apple watch is on the wrong side for left handed persons.

[@susanhowell3155]

Awesome video! Thank you for putting it out there.

+Braydon Heckler Samsung Gear S2 classic is not the worst version of Samsung... the Classic is the high end watch.

[@willpeeps88]

+vbuendiatube it is the high end model of the S2 but it's priced the same as the Apple Watch at $350 that's why I think he used that one.

[@vbuendiatube]

+will Yeah, that's probably the reason but it is not a good reason... Any way, any ideas why the Taptic Engine is not mentioned?

[@maximeauge4360]

+will the Apple Watch 38mm version is priced ta 400 and not 350

[@dranzer26]

I love the look of the Apple Watch. Was very sceptical at first, thought it was stupid, but it grew on me and I did eventually buy one. I got the Apple sport watch a week ago. I do like how the S2 looks like an actual watch, I just don't like the fact that the touch screen is minimal, always having to turn the dial on the watch face. To each there own I guess, not everybody is gonna like the Apple Watch, or vice versa the S2.

[@Adspecter]

Theirs really no competition here. If u own an iPhone, get the Apple Watch, if you own a. Android device get the s2

One thing we know is that both smart watches are fantastic. They both have pros and cons, it’s up to consumers to buy whatever they want. But here’s one thing I’ve noticed, Apple Watch is more on a futuristic design compare to other smart watches. While Samsung is leaning more toward a classic design that’s pretty convenient for some people. Apple Watch: Design is pretty much futuristic with a decent square-ish design and a fantastic operating system. Samsung Gear: Holds onto classical design of a round shape and a great battery life.

I'm definitely an apple guy when it comes to phones, but I really like the style and functionality of the gear s2, and being that it is now iOS compatible makes it even better. However, I'm still torn. The last few days my gear s2 died after 8 hours of use, with my screen brightness at 3, wifi off, almost no notifications, almost no location services, and my screen off. Maybe I have a faulty battery?!?! The time on my weather widget is also showing an hour ahead, even though I've reset the watch, and cycled the location on and off in the weather app. Idk, I'll give it another day or so with the gear s2 before deciding if I want to spend the extra money on an Apple Watch.

It's Apple Wathc or Samsung Gaer S2 a winner ?

[@mantykarhu]

The S2 looks a lot better than the Watch, and the longer battery life is welcome! But, I think Apple Watch is going to win on apps for quite a while. Watch 2 can improve on looks or battery life, but apps and general support from developers and vendors will keep it ahead. Good, quick comparison!

[@bryanmiller476]

That's exactly right and it's cuz iPhone users tend to actually support their app devs more and will pay for more apps where as more people wanna complain and cry about paying for apps on android and that's why iOS App Store gets more and better support

[@bryanmiller476]

Cuz as a dev, wouldn't u wanna make apps for people who will actually pay u for ur hard work instead of the android people who think apps should just always be free

[@ezscootrr]

+MäntyKarhu Who needs lot's of apps on a watch. I do have Moto 360 and using the watch to play games or other stuff ruins the battery life. If you want to run apps, pick up your phone.

[@mantykarhu]

+Edwin Capidos Ya, I had the Moto 360 and returned it due to poor battery life mainly. Basically, without apps you might as well not buy a smart watch since everything that makes it "smart" is an app whether it's a stock feature or one purchased. For example, I can record memos with a simple app on my Watch. That came stock with my Gear 2, but Tizen OS was just too limited to keep that smart watch. Also, I can take memos with a simple Evernote app that turns them into text. I also have an app for monitoring sleep, also included with Gear 2, but Apple devs will compete for paying customers. I had a nice Garmin Vivofit 2 for activity tracking, but I'd gladly pay a few bucks for a Watch app to eliminate that extra gadget from my wrist. Maps works far better than anything Samsung or Google has produced yet. Many like that app. I get your point, because I mainly like my Apple Watch as a watch, but some features are very handy and don't strain my battery to much.

[@chaiebhamdi]
