At the CES , Samsung held a press conference where new products were announced. Two new variants of the Gear S2 Smart Watch were announced, Rose Gold and Platinum variants. Also was the key announcement that future iOS support for the devices is being worked upon.
The product in question – the Gear S2 Watch is the first round display watch by the company. It was launched in August. It was originally available in normal band editions, but later premium editions were released, much like the Apple Watch, in Rose Gold and Platinum.
