Samsung adorns its Gear S2 smartwatch with gold and diamonds
The world's largest watch and jewelry show, Baselworld 2016, is currently underway in Basel, Switzerland, and while we didn't expect an onslaught of smartwatches, we knew we'll see some weird and/or expensive smart wearables.
One falling into the latter camp is Samsung's de Grisogono Gear S2 smartwatch -- a collaboration between Samsung and watchmaker de Grisogono -- which is embellished with rose gold and over 100 black and white diamonds. It also comes with a bracelet studded with de Grisogono's signature galuchat (a type of rough, textured leather) and a few exclusive watch faces.

As usual, underneath all this glamour the watch is just a regular Gear S2 -- even the diamond-studded bezel can still be freely turned to access apps, activity logs and notifications.
Samsung has not shared the price for the glitzy wearable, though the company did say it will be a limited edition piece, available for purchase this summer.
This is not the first exclusive variant of the Gear S2 -- at this year's CES, Samsung launched rose gold and platinum versions of the device. We don't, however, expect the de Grisogono version to be in the same, sub-$500 price range as those watches, or anywhere near it.
