Samsung is back with part 3 of its Galaxy history series and this time it is focusing on smartwatches. You can catch the previous entries which looked back on the history of the Fold<\/a> and Buds<\/a> series.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

The journey began in 2013 with the Galaxy Gear<\/a> \u2013 Samsung\u2019s first foray into the smartwatch world. Smartwatches were still a fairly new product group back then with makers like Samsung still finding their footing in the space.<\/p>\n\n

Apart from its iconic square design, featuring a 1.63-inch AMOLED display, this device also ran a custom fork of Android as its OS. It also had a 1.9MP camera which supported photo and video capture with the latter limited to 10-second duration and 720P resolution.<\/p>\n

Moving on to 2014, Samsung launched Gear 2<\/a> in April with an improved 2MP camera, new watch straps, IP67 dust\/water resistance and Samsung\u2019s Tizen OS which would go on to power the next few generations of Galaxy Gear watches.<\/p>\n\n

The Gear S<\/a> launched later in October of that same year with improvements across both design and function. This was the first smartwatch with a curved Super AMOLED display for a more futuristic look. Samsung also added support for 3G cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity for a truly smartphone-independent wrist computer.<\/p>\n\n

2015\u2019s Galaxy Gear S2<\/a> took a turn to the more traditional round Galaxy Watch design that we know today. It bumped up to a IP68 dust\/water resistance and added Qi wireless charging \u2013 something that we wished modern smartwatches would offer and introduced the rotating watch bezel.<\/p>\n\n
