Samsung's sequel aims to win over users with a slimmer design and a focus on fitness. WE WOULDN'T BE LYING if we said that Samsung's first smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Gear, didn't set the world alight when it was launched last August. With a chunky, heavy design, a 24-hour battery life and a £300 price, it was hardly the most desirable gadget to hit the market in 2013.

That's why Samsung didn't waste any time bringing a sequel to market and releasing the Gear 2 smartwatch earlier in April with some updated features, such as a slimmer design, a 1.63in Super AMLOED display, a 2MP camera and a focus on fitness.
