In case you’re wondering why the new Gear smartwatches don’t sport the “Galaxy” branding, that’s because they are now powered by Samsung’s Tizen OS instead of Android. Although the OS has changed, the wearables will still be able to support more than a dozen Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

The Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo is expected to be available around the world starting April. Pricing is yet to be announced.
