However, the offering from the South Korean conglomerate is still the go-to choice for the masses. Housing the Android-based wearOS, it beholds a slew of nifty features up its sleeves. However, on the flip side, these watches are also notoriously infamous for being plagued with issues that don’t get any attention from the OEM whatsoever.
