Aesthetics and customization are two essential elements that should be offered by a smartwatch in addition to its functionality. That's why smartwatch manufacturers don’t hesitate to collaborate with renowned figures in the fashion world. If Apple was working with Hermes, Samsung chose to collaborate with the design maestro from Italy, Alessandro Mendini.

But that initiative apparently is still not enough. Now Samsung has another way to provide a more complete customization option for the Gear S2 users in the form of Band Adapter.

As the name implies, this accessory is designed so that the Gear S2 can be compatible with a standard watch strap measuring 20 mm. The Band Adapter is made of solid stainless steel material, and its two color options making it in harmony with Gear S2.

It can be used in simple way; you should remove the original strap of Gear S2, and then plug the Band Adapter in each side of Gear S2. From there, you can simply hook the standard watch strap or the Gear S2 Classic strap.

So far the Gear S2 Band Adapter is marketed only in three countries: Germany, Singapore and South Africa, but Samsung promises to bring it to more regions in the near future.
