So I've no urge to change it, but it's still nice to have the option. The model I tested had a chocolate-brown strap that actually complements the rest of the watch quite well. This is good news, as it means you can replace it with a host of fancy color options - there's even a tiny release lever on the underside to make swapping a cinch. The result is that the strap is now just 'dumb' plastic there's no technology inside like before.

The affectionately titled 'wart' camera no longer resides in the strap either it's back up in the main watch housing, where it should have been all along. I say 'near,' as the microphone is no longer housed in this section, so the part of the clasp where this used to be is now thinner. The main body is once again fashioned out of brushed metal, while the strap is made of a similar plastic material as before, with a near-identical clasp mechanism. As far as aesthetics go, the Gear 2 is merely an evolution of the original. If you were hoping for a complete redesign, it's time to put on your disappointment pants.
