Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm on a wrist

Put the Gear S2 - 49.8mm on an arm sized to your own wrist and turn it — the view a photograph on a white background never gives you.

  • Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm 42.3mm case, 49.8mm lug-to-lug, standing 11.4mm off the wrist.

Whether that clears your wrist edges is the question worth answering, and it depends on your wrist rather than on the case diameter.

Case shapes are generated from each watch's published measurements — case width, lug-to-lug and thickness — not from manufacturer 3D models, so the proportions are accurate while the dial is generic.

What size band does the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm take?

How long does the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm battery last?

Is the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm thick for a 42mm watch?

At 11.4mm, thinner than 75% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

What other watches are the same size as the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm?

Certina DS Action Chrono PVD / Carbon / Bracelet, Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 3861 Moonshine Gold / Black Lacquer, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer Stainless Steel / Silver, Huawei Watch 5 - 42mm all sit within half a millimetre of the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm's 42.3mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.

What is the lug-to-lug of the Samsung Gear S2 - 49.8mm?

49.8mm, against a 42.3mm case width. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that decides overhang: if it exceeds the flat width of your wrist, the lugs sit past the edge no matter how modest the case diameter looks.
