Fandom: Naruto Pairing: Senju Hashirama & Senju Tobirama (mostly gen, hints of other relationships later)

Summary: Hashirama really doesn’t approve of the thoughtful way his father looks at his younger brother’s bright red eyes. He’s sure it doesn’t mean anything good for anyone.

He’s right.

A/N: a quick (but sadly short) update for @blackberreh-art, who needs something to read on the flight

——————————————————————————————

The one ability of Tobirama that their father seems to actually respect is the strength of his sensor abilities.

"No Uchiha could have reached that far," Butsuma says begrudgingly when Tobirama reports comings and goings from the edge of his extremely impressive range.

It may be the nicest thing he's ever said to Tobirama, who is all but walking on air for the next week, even if no one who isn’t Hashirama or Kawarama or little Itama would be able to tell. He doubles down on training that ability thereafter, broadening his range even further and increasing his precision to focus on additional details.

He gets very, very good at it, too. Hashirama has found that when Tobirama puts his mind to something, really puts his mind to something, there's very little he can't do.

(This is, sometimes, a problem - Tobirama is extremely creative, smart and unorthodox, but unfortunately he, like their father, is a brilliant tactician. Fantastic for battle, absolutely fantastic; wonderful in the short term and, at least for Tobirama, sometimes in the medium term, but when it comes to thinking long term...ugh.

Seriously, sometimes Hashirama wishes he wasn't born as good a strategist as he is because he's pretty sure he's going to be driven up the wall by the fact that he can so clearly see future consequences that no one else ever seems to think about. At least Tobirama is learning, even if he still hasn't quite figured out that just because you can invent something doesn't always mean you should.)

Still, as much as Tobirama wants to make their father proud, as much as he loves him, he hasn’t lost his reason or his sense of caution. He tells his father anything that might be helpful, practical useful things, but Hashirama is the only one who knows the true extent of his sensing: how sensitive he is to the nuances of others' chakra, how he can all but replicate exact details even from a distance, how much it hurts sometimes -

How he's always sensing, always, whether he's asleep or drained of chakra.

Even though he's grown up well past the usual dangerous age, Tobirama's chakra still has a way of draining far too fast sometimes, no matter how little he's doing. Recently they discovered, through some impromptu games of hide and seek with little Itama, a happy soul, that it helped a little if he kept his eyes closed. Ever since then, Tobirama has spends increasingly more of his time in his private quarters wearing a blindfold, purportedly as a means of further training his situational awareness - not that he needs it, given that he learns to move around fluidly without his sight within the course of a few weeks.

Outside the home, where walking around with a blindfold would be more embarrassing and require more explanation, he takes to adding a happuri to his armor so that he can draw it down over his eyes whenever he has a moment to rest.

Things are going well.

Hashirama starts to feel happy: Tobirama's sensor abilities are a blessing, something he can be cheered for throughout the clan. Finally, he thinks, there was something that Tobirama could do that would bring him only joy.

(He should have known better than to tempt fate.)

It happens in public, at a formal clan dinner with all the elders and their father sitting there, and no one knows that Tobirama's senses are still working but Hashirama.

But because Hashirama is the only one who knows, he's the only one who has even the slightest idea what's happening when Tobirama suddenly drops his bowl, his expression twisting in horror, and throws himself out the window without a word a second later.

"Please excuse us," Hashirama says on his behalf to the outraged elders and their father, then follows him out before they have a chance to respond.

He doesn't know exactly what it was that Tobirama sensed that so overwhelmed him, but that expression means it's nothing good.

There are very few things Tobirama cares about that would make him willing to so breach the rules of etiquette so thoroughly beaten into him -

- and Kawarama is out of the compound on a courier mission.

Hashirama's already resigned by the time they're out in the forest, running faster than thought but still not fast enough, but Tobirama shrieks as though he was the one who was stabbed, his too-powerful senses showing him all the details he would never be able to excise from his too-perfect memory, staggering and beginning to fall even as he reaches the clearing that should have been safety, having exhausted himself in speed and left nothing for fighting.

Hashirama is just moments behind him, though, and he reaches out with the forest to try to strangle his brother's killers.

He gets two of the squad, mangling their bodies beyond recognition without the slightest ounce of pity, leaving them only identifiable as Uchiha by the scraps of fabic that flutter to the ground, but three others manage to evade him, disappearing in a flurry of leaves and shadow.

When he turns back, Tobirama is on his knees, sobbing and tugging futilely at the swords and kunai that pierce Kawarama's body. "I should've been faster," he says, voice broken. "I should have kept better watch - I should have been faster, I could've helped if I'd only been faster - Hashirama, help me! I don’t have the chakra reserves to heal him!"

Hashirama comes to stand by his shoulder. His heart hurts, seeing his brother's body like this, but not the way Tobirama's does. Tobirama was the one who raiased Kawarama, raised Itama, not Hashirama; Hashirama loves them dearly, but they're his brothers - to Tobirama, they might as well be his sons.

(And if some part of Hashirama bitterly remembers that Kawarama is their father's favorite, neither his disobedient eldest nor his despised second, and thinks of how despite Hashirama’s best efforts he had begun to absorb some of Butsuma’s more pernicious beliefs, repeating vile things about Tobirama when the other was absent even though it was Tobirama who loved him more than anything - well. That part of him doesn't need to see the surface.)

So it hurts and he grieves, but he also knows that it’s not as bad a blow as it could have been - not as bad a blow as it is to Tobirama.

"We'll take him back for a burial," Hashirama says, because there's nothing before them but a corpse.

Tobirama moans in despair, horrible grief making his voice grate terribly, like the sound of splintering wood, and then suddenly his hands fly up to his face, his chakra levels suddenly draining at an alarming rate.

"Tobirama!" Hashirama exclaims, moving forward at once. "What - a trap? Tell me what hurts!"

He continued his lessons as a healer long after the medic taught him those few techniques and insisted that Tobirama learn, too, counting on his brother's genius mind to start coming up with new combinations almost at once, which he had. They were both very good at it now.

"My eyes," Tobirama moans. "Something's wrong with my eyes."

Hashirama's scanning frantically, looking for the damage, but nothing's coming up as wrong. As far as Tobirama's body is concerned, it's working as designed.

Except Tobirama's chakra is still draining away like he somehow sprung a leak, which means there must be a wound - a trap - a seal - something - but where could it be? With enough expertise, a trap seal could be drawn on any surface, solid or liquid: on skin, hair, tongue, eyes –

Eyes.

"Hold still," he tells Tobirama, more or less futilely because Tobirama is barely even twitching anymore. "I'm going to pop out your lenses."

He hasn't seen Tobirama without his lenses in years, nothing but the brief glimpses when he helped him in the mornings, but he still remembers what they look like under there - what they should look like, that is.

And the second the lenses are off, there it is, whatever it is that's hurting his brother: the black flecks in Tobirama's eyes have changed, turning instead into a pinwheel made of little black waves.

(It's almost like the Uchiha symbols he's seen scribbled on old scrolls, but that makes sense, doesn't it, that the Uchiha would leave an Uchiha trap on a freshly-killed corpse, meant to catch the unwary.)

"Tobirama, I think I've figured it out where the trap is - Tobirama - no, don't pass out - Tobirama! Stay with me...!"

Hashirama doesn't want to leave Kawarama's body behind, but he would do it in a heartbeat if he thought the medics back home would be of any help. He would throw himself on the nonexistent mercy of the Uchiha themselves if that's what it took to save Tobirama’s life, but he knows that they won’t help either.

It’s up to him.

He sits there all night, between the corpse of one brother and the comatose body of another, ignoring everything he’s ever learned about healing in favor of brute-forcing as much of his chakra into Tobirama as either of them can tolerate and a little beyond, and he thinks he might go a little insane in the process.

(Sometimes Tobirama's eyes look as if they themselves have drained of all color, an almost pale lavender with rippling concentric rings around the pupil, but Hashirama manages to convince himself it's a trick of the light and with an concerted effort it goes back to the more familiar red.)

Morning comes.

Tobirama opens his eyes.

They’ve gone back to the normal red-and-black-flecks, Hashirama is relieved to see, and his chakra appears to have stabilized.

“Anija,” Tobirama croaks, his voice cracking. “Tell me –”

But he falls silent.

Hashirama knows what he wants to ask, knows why Tobirama didn’t ask it, and curses yet again his brother’s memory.

He wishes, more than anything, that he could tell him that it had only been a dream.

“Let’s go home,” he says instead. “Get on my back.”

Tobirama’s eyes flicker and change – pinwheels again, and his chakra swells as though he were using some sort of powerful jutsu – but then they return to normal as he forces himself to calm, willpower overcoming his emotions as it has had to do far too many times before.

Looks like whatever the Uchiha did to him, it's not going away anytime soon.

Fine, whatever. It doesn't matter. Hashirama will find a way to make sure Tobirama survives whatever this is - survives and thrives. He will.

He won't let him down again.

“I remember them,” Tobirama says quietly, interrupting Hashirama's thoughts.

“Them?”

“The three you missed. I know what they look like. The next time we go up against the Uchiha, I’ll kill them.”

Hashirama knows Tobirama means it, too; he’s killed before already. If anything, he’s killed more often than Hashirama has, for all that Hashirama’s power is the more deadly – Tobirama knows how much Hashirama hates to strike the finishing blow, so he does it for him when he can, Hashirama finding often enough the shinobi he’s grabbed in the roots of the Mokuton have their throats slit or their lungs filled up with water before he’s forced to crush them.

“Well,” he says, shrugging. “That should make Butsuma happy, at least.”

(It doesn’t save Tobirama from being punished when he gets home, though, and Hashirama’s fists clench so tightly that his palms begin to bleed.)

Raid on CyberLife warehouse – police believe the suspects are deviants

Chiara Hale | Tuesday 2 November 22:35 | 235 shares

A group of robbers broke into the CyberLife warehouse sometime in the evening today in Delray. The value of the stolen property is estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of the warehouse’s security guard androids also went missing during the events of the robbery.

The suspects are deviant androids or are affiliated with an organized group of deviants. The police are currently investigating the crime and would not comment until more details are discovered.

– We saw nothing out of the ordinary and then count the trucks to see one is missing, the security guards of the warehouse say.

– No one got hurt, but we could just be lucky.

The GPS tracking system of the stolen truck was disabled as soon as it left the property.

An increasing number of cases involving androids are reported to the DPD every day. Statistics show these android cases have notched up the overall crime rate of the city for over seven percent during the past six months.

Could your android be a deviant?

7 Things your android does without your knowledge

––

“Doctor, there’s a visitor for you.”

You rub your temples and stare at the communication device on the desk. The lobby secretary android is waiting for an answer. You’ll only need one wild guess to know who wants to meet you. As much as you enjoy admiring his beautiful features, right now his is the last face on Earth you wish to see.

You close the trashy article open on your work terminal and let out a silent sigh before pressing the button.

“I’m free now. Send them up.”

A quick elevator ride later, the brown-eyed android tilts his head slightly, hands resting on his sides and looking completely innocent. Something about predators and their prey crosses your mind, but the thought has to step aside for the basic instincts.

Fight or flight. On the previous day you had enough adrenaline in your system to stand your ground. Now you want to run. A rematch will be a sore loss for you.

“I came because I was worried about you,” Connor says matter-of-factly.

“Yes, you keep saying that but there is no need.”

You turn away to hide your puffy, reddened eyes. There is no universe in which Connor wouldn’t notice such obvious physical signals of distress.

A faint glimmer of hope shined from the news cast on the previous evening and you suspect that is one of the reasons why Connor comes to see you right after you practically threw him out of your home.

A truckload full of biocomponents and Thirium was reported stolen late on the previous night. It dried your tears instantly but the damage to your next day look was already done. You want to believe so much that Markus was behind it. Somehow you can feel it.

Connor waits for you to continue speaking. His sharp gaze is all over you, measuring and examining. Scenarios are running rampant inside his mind palace. The one he likes the most is the one where Detective Reed tells you to never contact him again. Seasoned with a couple of the Detective’s favorite swear words.

“Did you need something?” you ask in a rather unfriendly tone. You’re still not looking at the android.

Connor paces forward until he is standing right in front of your desk.

“How are you, Doctor?” he asks, taking you by surprise.

You pause before replying and try to reprogram yourself into a more friendly approach.

“Honestly? I still feel terrible about Liara but everything is fine. You don’t have to worry so much about me.”

The explanation is poor and weak but hopefully the reluctant aura your every cell is emitting is enough to make Connor leave as soon as possible.

“You know something, don’t you?” he utters quietly.

As morbid as it sounds, Connor wishes he could probe human memory or have any way of prying the answers out of you. Your pulse is faster than it should be. You’re avoiding his gaze and constantly trying to find something else to focus on. He sees you’re lying when you convince him there is nothing wrong and he shouldn’t worry about you.

It makes Connor uncomfortable to confront you when you look so upset already, but he has to do it.

“Know something? Concerning… what?” you ask.

“My investigation,” he says patiently.

Call it a hunch or what you like, but to move the investigation forward, Connor has to take that gut feeling into consideration. In ones and zeroes it’s a mysterious clutter of unsolved symbols. It’s impossible to invent the formula without all the unknown factors, no matter how many simulations or operations he runs inside his mind palace.

And the image of Detective Reed courting you is still messing with his computations.

Would you talk to him? Connor wonders inside his mind palace, though he knows Reed has nothing to do with your avoiding replies.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” you remark.

If only there was a way to summon an escape. Like a convenient fire alarm to force an emergency exit. The back of your neck is tingling unpleasantly and your pulse has kept growing ever since the android stepped into the room. You’re prey just waiting to be caught in the predator’s claws.

Connor fixates a look on you, trying to reach your gaze. A line appears between his brows when you only stare at the terminal on your desk as hard as you can. He waits a few moments before slowly planting his palms on your desk.

“Doctor, the truth is I don’t need your permission to do my mission. I have the authority of the Detroit Police Department–”

You jump ahead of him. “Leave uncle Hank out of this.”

Connor frowns at the sight of your puffed eyes. “It’s the duty of us both to look after you.”

“I’m a grown up, I don’t want you looking after me,” you say and avert your gaze again. Why does he have to be so close?

The words fall harshly inside the silent office. Connor’s frown deepens, his brows creep together again in confusion.

You look so fragile to him, like a sculpture of made of glass, about to fall down and break. No matter what logic dictates, what he thinks you’re feeling, he can only come to the conclusion that trying to figure you out will only frustrate him. As the silence lingers, his thoughts wander. And he thinks about the glass statue metaphor that suddenly stops making sense.

He knows you’re soft. So soft compared to his exoskeleton that is designed to optimize speed and endurance. His softness is a changeable concept that depends on the target of comparison.

As for your fragility, he knows that description doesn’t match your body either.

Connor finds himself not simulating breathing as his optic sensors wander over the enflamed skin on your cheeks. His mind palace is grasping at straws, definitely not making an effort to accomplish his mission.

Your eyes are glued to the terminal and every fiber of your being wishes Connor would leave you alone this instant. You can’t nor want to focus on work with him in the room. The datapad that is used for the weekly checkups is on the desk but you don’t really want to start questioning the android.

Why can’t he just go?

Connor compensates the pause in breathing with an uncharacteristic huff and straightens up.

“If something is going on, you have to tell me,” he pleads, “I want you to stay safe.”

“Will I be safe if you search my home again for deviants?” The ire you manage to load into the words makes Connor jolt. He hesitates, but only briefly.

“I know about the blue blood in the basket.”

The significance of the revelation takes several moments to sink in.

He knows. You just lead yourself into the trap.

From the way Connor is scowling again, you realize you have turned to face him, eyes reddened but color drained from your complexion. His gaze inspects your features in silent analysis. You have to brush it off to survive.

“…Then why didn’t you report it in?” you ask in a small voice.

Connor’s eyes soften and he looks troubled.

“I… I don’t know. It was you and I shouldn’t have searched for it without your permission. I don’t want to cause trouble to you.”

“You shouldn’t say that,” you retort with a hint of desperation.

“I know I shouldn’t,” Connor snaps back.

A beat of silence falls. You’re just staring at each other, both equally reluctant to continue on the topic, but also knowing it has to be dealt with. You give in to the staring contest over the desk. The air is heavy with tension. Your heart is hammering like crazy, but at least you’re not showing it on the outside. Never mind that Connor can still hear it.

“Are you accusing me of something? Is that why you came to see me?” you finally ask.

“No, I simply wanted to talk.” Connor looks away, dejected.

Your whole body feels numb as you stare at the android. The desk between you could as well be a mile-high wall. The all too familiar feeling of him trying to say something you’re not prepared to understand creeps up your spine. It makes your heart wrench and it’s so unfair that he doesn’t have to deal with it.

Your eyes start to burn and so you turn back to the terminal.

“Am I a suspect?” you ask as sternly as you’re able to.

Connor’s head snaps back up.

“Doctor, I don’t–”

“Because if not, I’d really like for you to leave.” You swallow, hands on the keynotes, but unable to continue writing from where you left off before Connor’s arrival.

“I need to understand what I witnessed at your house. I must explore every option – you know this,” Connor rationalizes and it’s impossible to deny his words.

You swallow. The need to get rid of the android pushes the rational side of your brain into a ditch.

“I… it was… it was just some Thirium on my work clothes. There was an accident in the testing sub-routine. I forgot to wash it earlier.”

“The incident is archived, I take it?” Connor asks.

You can’t even nod. It takes less than a second for him to find out there was no incident in the lab area for the past week during your in-hours. He doesn’t say anything.

Your voice shakes, when you next speak and you pray to all deities on Earth and above that Connor will let it go.

“Now if I’m clear from all charges, I have tons of work to do, so… I’ll see you next week for the inspection.”

An alarmingly long pause follows before Connor reacts to your words and the emotional distress in them. Meanwhile, his mind palace is buzzing, though nothing shows outside. Why would you lie to him? Are you speaking the truth? There must be a reason for your behavior and Connor can’t help but deduce that he is missing pieces in this puzzle that carries your name.

Again, he finds it bothers him more than it should.

Your fingertips are numb on the keyboard and after staring at the terminal monitor for so long, you can’t see anything already written on it. You’re already about to ask Connor to leave again when he makes a motion to turn and go.

“If there’s something you wish to discuss, you can call me anytime. Until then, I won’t bother you anymore. See you at the inspection, Doctor.”

And with that, the android sent by CyberLife is out of your door yet again while you swallow hot tears streaking down your cheeks.

Next Chapter - Coming Soon!

RTAG 1 TTOne day, you are going about your business when you catch sight of yourself wearing your favorite Hello Kitty t-shirt that ever attained you feel so free-spirited. Abruptly you think, “When did I turn into my Aunt Gladys? ” Many of us fall into the capture of wearing clothes that are too young for us, thinking that the alternative is to wear dowdy, frumpy robes. But here’s the rub: Ironically, when you dress too young, you often build yourself examine much older. And then there is the opposite capture of manufacturing yourself look older with out-of-date trends.( Please, please, say goodbye to the 1980 s Dynasty RTAG 12 TT Read more from Grandparents.com :Samsungs Gear S3 runs a little too big

Samsungs never shied away from running large-hearted. Big-hearted phones, big Tv, big-hearted watches. In fact, that was one of the essential characteristic for the first few generations of the Gear line, the first few of which were really more wrist-worn tablet than smartwatch.

Things thankfully mellowed out a bit last year with the purposes of applying S2, a more minimalist approaching to wrist-worn calculating that married cunning functionality with a refined OS and a designing that actually looked like an honest to goodness watch.

But 2016 celebrated a return to large-scale. Samsung was all about pushing happenings close to the breaking point this year, and in at least one conspicuous instance, going beyond. The Gear S3 marks a return to large-hearted. As ever, the companys jam-packed the watch with aspects which might feel like the latter are overflowing were the watch not so damned big-hearted in the first place. In numerous spaces, the new watch feels like the Galaxy Note strategy applied to the wrist albeit without all of the luggage that currently being become associated with that line.

Big time

This really needs to be mentioned right off the bat theres certainly no way around it the S3 is truly, really big. Truly, really. Sure, its not quite Galaxy Gear big, but its distractingly large-scale. Im roughly six hoofs towering and possess what I assume to be average-sized wrists for a male someone of my altitude, and the Gear S3 still seemed big-hearted. Just to the purposes of gossip, I requested two 54 coworkers to try it on, and the wearable appeared downright comical.

When the device first propelled at IFA, I questioned a rep about the thought process behind exhausting such a large watch, and he chalked it up to manner, quoting the notoriety of 42mm watches. Perhaps, but coupled with the added example penetration required for a smartwatchs electronics and battery, and youve got a invention that could serve to cut out a significant portion of the populace by sizing alone.

The S3 weighs in at 63 grams, owing in no small-minded place to its stainless steel casing. Thats around 13 grams heavier than the brand-new Apple watch( which was itself heavier than its precede ). And at 12.9 millimeters thick-skulled, its not really made for wearing with long sleeves. My sweater “ve managed” pulling over it( albeit with a visible protrusion ), but my button-up shirt had a bit more fus stirring it over.

And forget trying to sleep with the thing on. Its hard to understand why the company didnt, at the very least, give the watch in two different sizes. After all, its available in two different configurations. As such, Samsung has alienated all but a small fragment of the smartwatch-buying audience.

Big wheel keep on turning

The S3 Frontier also recognizes an aesthetic difference from its precede, with a steel speciman that takes on a more classic pattern that its sporty( some might have said plasticky) precede. Its certainly a classier and most versatile sound than many other smartwatches and fitness ensembles. With the right stripe, it can fit in comfortably in, suppose, country offices establish, which isnt something that can be said for many of the neon colored wearables out there.

The rubber strap that ships with the Frontier version is a marked step down from the design of the watch itself. Its designed to play alongside the watchs rugged focus, lending itself to outdoor outings and sweat-addled workouts. Of trend, the upside of the standardized 22 mm strap is that youll never miss for options on that front. Samsung actually teamed with a pair of decorators to develop cliques specifically for the watch but save yourself some currency and exactly pick up a regular old strap.

The S2s better facet has, thankfully returned. And its even better than before. The rotating bezel was a amazing addition to that last invention. At 1.3 inches, the exhibition isnt super small-minded, in so far as smartwatches move, but as with Apples offering, additional input is needed for immediately moving through screens.

The wheel does the job fantastically and even more intuitively than Apples option. This steel form is smooth, zipping through menu, though the small diction spread between bezel speciman seems a bit of a magnet for lint and other small-minded corpuscles that could necessitate the occasional bang of canned breeze for maintenance. The watch does sport a duo of buttons, as well back and ability which sit somewhat flush with the watch casing.

Saving face

The 1.3 -inch display is a touch larger than the S2s, but still doesnt extend the same soil as the Apple Watchs 1.65. At 278 ppi, its also a little bit less pixel dense, but its plenty bright and sharp-worded. Samsungs Tizen icons are clear and bright, even in daylight. The device boasts an Always On mode, to make it function more like an analog watch, though thats turned off by default and hidden under the Style menu in directs, for grounds the battery-life telling make clear.

Thats parcelled behind the most recent form of Gorilla Glass, making the watch shatter and scratch resistant. That, coupled with a big sword chassis, builds for an extremely rugged wearable. Its scheduled as MIL-STD-8 10 G Military Grade Rating, which protects it from stops up to 4.9 paws and IP68, which makes its water rating at up to five feet for 30 minutes. Its likewise protected from extreme temperatures, obliging the Frontier every bit as rugged as its mention implies.

Wearable hardware

The battery has been updated to 380 mAh, a marked hump over the Apple Watchs 273 mAh. The companionship paces life at around three days, but I was able to get closer to 2 day with Always On mode off owing likely in no small-minded area to the onboard LTE on the Frontier. Youll find yourself accusing it less often than the Apple Watch, but youre still not getting near fitness ensemble country here.

The LTE is a great option, the usefulness of which are dependent entirely upon how you interact with your watch. If you have your phone on you all or most of the time, its perhaps not worth the additional cost, which breaks down to an extra $10 a month in addition to an existing data plan or $40 for a brand new one on AT& T. If, however, youre looking to the wrist as an interim liberation from the watch for, allege, long cross-country leads, its a terrific feature.

Either way, its a solid addition to the smartwatch that apparently already has everything, giving speedy data directly to the watch without needing to be tethered to a handset at all times. And theres ever the bonus ability of using the built-in loudspeaker to reach wrist-based telephone call, lastly fulfilling the long-awaited Dick Tracy promise.

The S3 too returns built-in GPS to the watch( previously only available on the specialty 3G version of the S2 ), another big bonus for the wearables outdoorsy functionality, and brings a lot to the table on the fitness tracking figurehead, in particular for hikers and athletes who like to go long distance.

Tizen time

Among interesting thing, Samsungs got the chose assistance of several generations of smartwatches under its belt. The fellowship swopped from Android to Tizen between the Galaxy Gear and Gear 2, and genuinely affect its stride with last years S2. The application ordeal is smooth and customizable holding down on an icon, for example, lets you customize and re-order screens.

The app selection is still limited compared to the rivalry, but youve got some key ones here, including Uber and Flipboard, along with the most recent( and important) addition of Spotify. You can add a hand-picked number of apps immediately onto the watch or flip over to the phone to view more and get the full app store experience.

For the most part, I located my engagements is restricted to Samsungs own apps; the company has done a good job to be built its own ecosystem. The companys S Health has become fairly robust over the last few generations, building the best possible use of onboard sensors like GPS and heart rate, and Samsung Pay accompanies added utility of paying by searching your wrist near a card reader.

Final Frontier

Samsungs had a few generations more than much of its competition to refine its smartwatch know-how. Last year the company eventually hit upon a winning formula with the S2, a great combining of motif, functionality and software refinement.

And while the S2 is getting a good number of software upgrades to bring it up to accelerate, the $350 S3 Frontier offers some key hardware bumps over its precede. Those largely feel iterative, but welcome. The new size, on the other mitt, is a big misfire for Samsung. The smartwatch infinite is already a marginalized one, and making a massive machine like the S3 further curbs the make from too many wrists.
