 Hey, I'm Vlad with The Verge here at E4 2017 in Berlin and the advice I'm wearing are Samsung's new introductions for the show. So what's new with Samsung here at E4 2017? First of all, we have the Samsung Gear Sport. This is a new watch that sits alongside the Gear S3. It will be a little bit cheaper, but its big highlight is that you can use it for swimming. It's rated to be waterproof down to a depth of 50 meters and it's joined by the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro, which has the same waterproof rating and also can be used for swim tracking. Both of them have AMOLED displays, really nice AMOLED displays. I especially like them on the wristband here. So the new Gear IconX 2018 edition earphones, they don't really look particularly different from their predecessors. They will come in new colors, so black, pink and gray, but a big upgrade with them is they have actual battery life now. They used to only be able to stream music for one and a half hours. Now they can do up to five hours of streaming from your phone and they come with this case, which gives them another full charge as well. So the Samsung Gear Sport is really the big highlight for this and for myself. I'm wearing it at the moment together with the wristband and I do actually really quite like it. It's still quite a chunky watch as most pseudo smart watches are these days, but the difference between this and the Gear S3, which is not going to replace, it's going to sit alongside the Gear S3, be a little bit cheaper, is that this is a thinner watch. It doesn't have any LTE or 3G options for connectivity, but that saves on thickness, saves on weight. And when I put it on, I actually feel really comfortable with it. I feel like this is, in terms of ergonomics, close to the Gear S2 rather than the Gear S3. It has this rotating bezel on the front, which sits on a bit of a more rectangular base and the separation between the two things, the more layered design, kind of hides the bulk and the size of this watch, which I like. And it also reminds me of some diver watches. I know Samsung has been deliberate in looking at existing traditional watch designs, horology traditions, and this watch can also track swimming. Both are rated to five atmospheres of treasure, which means 50 meters underwater. So that's much better waterproofing than IP68, which has been the standard up until now. So the Gizport comes in a choice of either black or blue silicone strap, but Samsung is doing a whole bunch of other straps, which is going to do with color and design match watch faces. And also these are standard 20 millimeter straps, so you can interchange it with any watch strap you already have. Samsung is partnering with Under Armour, Spotify, and Speedo for its applications to enhance the whole fitness slash exercise device thing. So with Under Armour, you get access to all of their apps. They have special apps made for Tizen, which is what this watch runs. In terms of Spotify, you can load your music onto here, or you can use this as a remote control for music playing back from your phone. And Speedo has a specific swimming tracking app, which is preloaded on this watch as well. Personally, I'm not really interested in the wireless connectivity of the Gear S3, so losing that but gaining a nicer design, in my opinion, just makes this a better watch. So as far as I'm concerned, this is going to be cheaper, lighter, more ergonomic, and just nicer than the Gear S3. So that's an overview of Samsung's new devices here at IFA 2017. I'm liking the new Gear Sport. I'm still not convinced by smart watches as a general class, but I love Samsung's interface, Samsung's Tizen operating system. I think it's nicer than Android Wear. I think it's one of the nicer interfaces. I love Samsung's rotating bezels. And I think this is one of the better watches out there in its category and class.
