Samsung Electronics Co. released its new Gear S2 smartwatch Tuesday, looking to regain traction in the wearable technology market quickly being dominated by the Apple Watch.

Samsung introduced two versions of the new round-faced device to be run on the company’s Tizen operating system, which will limit its reach. Google Inc. last year introduced an Android operating system as a software solution for wearable manufacturers.
