Samsung’s wearable remains as popular as ever despite some design changes over the years. This time around, it looks like a “classic” may be gone for good.
Although it doesn’t run one of the two major smartwatch platforms on the market, Samsung’s smartwatches have been one of the most successful wearable lines, and that’s partly thanks to the strength of the company’s brand and marketing. That’s also despite Tizen OS not having much support from the major apps and services that made smartwatches useful beyond functioning as simple timepieces and fitness trackers. One of the fan-favorite features of the Galaxy Watch, previously known as the Gear S, is a physical rotating bezel that can be used to control the watch. That mechanism briefly disappeared but later returned as a “classic” feature. Unfortunately, it might seem that things will be changing again, and the rotary bezel may actually be gone for good in the next iteration of Samsung’s smartwatch.
