To recap

The Samsung Gear S2 makes a pretty good first impression. But thanks to a DOA app ecosystem it makes even Pebble OS look terribly well-stocked and feature-packed. And with a £300 entry price we have no faith that the Gear S2 is suddenly going to turn things around for Tizen OS. For now, the S2 is a gamble.
