With the Gear S2, Samsung has presented its first round smartwatch. Prior to the launch and under the motto “Design your time”, the Samsung community was invited via Facebook, Instagram, tech bloggers and opinion leaders to design a new individual watch face for each minute of the day. There were no particular rules, allowing everything from drawings and paintings to collages. Within just a few days, thousands of unique watch faces were created and submitted.
