We’re little over a week away from the launch of the Samsung Gear S2 at IFA 2015, but it appears the Korean manufacturer can’t resist offering up another sneak peak of the round-faced smartwatch.
Following the preview at this month’s Unpacked Event and a teaser video released last week, a Samsung executive has now posted a snap of the watch adorning his wrist on Instagram.
VP for Samsung design Dennis Miloseski added the photo with the caption “giving the Gear S2 a test drive.” along with the hashtag #nextlevel. The tag is notable because if there’s one thing the Gear S2 needs to be, it’s next level.
With a much more attractive design (nice one, Dennis) and a revamped UI based around a rotating bezel, it appears Samsung is likely to right a host of previous wrongs.

Are you considering a Gear S2 to accompany the Note 5 or Galaxy S6 Edge+ this autumn? Or do you think Samsung’s latest smartwatch will flatter to deceive once again. Perhaps the teaser below can help inform your vote…
