A move back to perfection

I have owned every major generation of Samsung watch since the first and few things have stood out as much as the rotating bezel.
For a fidgeter or someone with wet/ gloved or dirty hands, having the ability to interact without using the touch screen is important, and Samsung have delivered on the return of that moving bezel.

The watch as it comes is very glassy with a lovely strap, however, the clasp design of the classic leaves much to be desired, regularly coming undone as the strap bands move around, so I changed over to the gametic clasp seen on the active watches.

In terms of what makes this more than the s5, there isnt much, because just like s5, it is an exceptional watch with little to add given todays available technologies.

in terms of why this is worth purchasing if you have an older watch:
improved battery life
the return of the bezel
longer software support
better battery life
shiny new gadget

Cons:
not much of note has changed from older generations

Overall i'd recommend this if you are coming from an s4 or older.
