Androidauthority info on a good smart watch deal and updates for the gear s2


_Samsung has delivered an update to its Gear S2 smartwatch which includes a number of Gear S3 _features. The update is rolling out as of today (December 5) and coincides with an unrelated offer on _refurbished Gear S2 models, now available for $109.99.-news, deal, source androidauthority


I believe that 300+~$ for a smart watch is a bit over priced, a 200-250~$ would be a more reasonable price, but at 100~ it is a steal.  Personally I'm not that fond of smart watches, but I've found the Samsung pay application very useful on the phone, and using a watch would make it that much more easy to use, and I'd consider a smart watch worth it for that feature alone.
