Samsung Teases Gear S2 Smartwatch, Looks Like a Round Apple Watch

On Thursday, Samsung teased a new smartwatch during its Galaxy Note 5 launch event. Engadget notes that the new smartwatch will be called the Gear S2 and it will run on Samsung’s own Tizen OS just like the original Gear S.

Samsung’s Gear S2 features a rounded display with home screen icons that look exactly like the Apple Watch. Here is a picture of the Apple Watch’s home screen:
