this video is brought to you by tagging a buffalo because we bought the gear s2 with our own money because we wanted you guys to see it and I wanted to run on a treadmill for a while how's it going guys my first time here with TechnoBuffalo and I figured what better way to check out the brand new Samsung gear s2 then to get a little bit active here in the gym so in an effort to stay active we're gonna be increasing this every I believe every minute it's also just gonna help us kind of keep the video challenging so every minute this speed is gonna get cranked up on me so why don't we just go ahead and get started so the s2 is obviously it's a wearable you guys have seen me wearing all kinds of stuff the major thing about the s2 is that the way that you interact with it is a little bit different than you might be used to because it's not running Android where it's running Tizen which is Samsung's OS the way you navigate through the OS is through this awesome click ring around the side and that's easily my favorite thing about the device everything else about it is perfectly fine runs as bad as fast as you could expect it to the screen is fine too but this is a really great way to interact with a wearable and that's really what I want to kind of start to see come to other devices it would be great to see Android wear try and adapt something like this as an interaction form for Android wear the gear s2 is actually pretty fun to use using that click wheel that's going to get you access to the other little widgets that are on the screen here in Tizen there's all stuff that you're gonna be used to from the S line of devices it's got s help all that fun stuff you can even track and see how much coffee and water you've been drinking throughout the day my major issue with the s2 is that because it runs Tizen you're not gonna be able to run all the great stuff that you can run on Android with Android wear I really miss having the ability to respond to hangouts messages being able to see things like my weather app that I use on Android so the ring is great the device itself is great but because it's not running Android wear I just can't really recommend it to anyone I feel a little bad about it because it's a great device it feels great on the wrist it's just not got a lot in terms of functionality which I really miss I know John only uses wearables for notifications but I like to be able to interact with them well we made it all the way to 7 on the treadmill so hopefully we should be able to just go ahead and tap right here let's see what might hurt it's probably pretty high I think it's a great device if you're running Samsung in your pocket obviously run Samsung on your wrist otherwise it's probably I don't buy let me know about what you guys think about the s2 is this something you might actually use not being able to respond to notifications makes a really big difference with me thank you guys so much for watching that's always be kind to one another and I'll catch you next video
