Samsung Gear S2

Gear S2

The Gear S2 is a Tizen-powered watch that finally has a round screen and finally works with phones that Samsung didn't make. More importantly, the company dreamed up a circular interface with a neat rotating bezel that doesn't rely as heavily on taps and swipes as its competitors.

It also has a three-day battery life! (I can't believe three days is exciting. 2016 better bring some new battery tech.)
