This is available both from the watch and the companion app.
In terms of looks, you can pretty much change everything you see, from dials to clock hands. Watchfaces have lots of added functionality and in-depth customizability Samsung has made sure to spice things up a bit in terms of this added watchface functionality, including some skins that measure your heart-rate periodically or remind you visually when you have been sitting for too long, with a growing blob on the dial. Those appear as little actionable widget-style controls in certain areas of a watchface and bring up their own interface when pressed - quite convenient. You can add date, world clock, heart rate, battery status, steps and more. An added feature we adore is the ability to stylize the watchface. Whichever watchface you pick, it's going to look nice. The watchface interface is one such area. There aren't any hidden menus, save for a few tap-and-hold affairs here and there.

It just seems natural and meant to be, which is a definite plus for the custom solution, as opposed to Android Wear that despite all the visual improvements, still has some oddly cropped interfaces on a round device. The circular design is blended seamlessly everywhere, from the menus and icons, all the way to every interface and even the scroll bars. Everything is clean, well-spaced and properly organized throughout the user interface. It's as if Samsung's first circular smartwatch has given them the creative freedom to start over, unfazed by previous failures. On top of that, the Gear S2 user interface looks the part. No matter how fast you push it, the interface just keeps up, no lag, no frame drops, just smooth animation all around. In fact, we often found ourselves playing with the wheel for no apparent reason, it is just immensely satisfying. Combined with the physical interaction with the rotating bezel, the sensation you get from interacting with the watch is truly futuristic. So fast in fact, you would be forgiven to think the Gear S2 is more powerful than its spec sheet suggests. What we weren't expecting, however, is how streamlined and efficient it is. Overall, this custom approach falls in line with Samsung's other recent wearables and while it does sacrifice on compatibility and misses out some on the ever-growing Android Wear ecosystem, it does also have its major advantages.
In any case, Tizen is currently the OEM's development path of choice, but we wouldn't be at all surprised if custom Android Wear ROMs for the Gear S2 start popping up online at some point.
As you might remember, the Korean giant underwent some serious soul-searching with its wearables, oscillating between Android Wear and custom solutions. Frankly, that's not really surprising, considering the company relied on its mobile OS for previous smartwatch products, but that wasn't always the case. The Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 relies on Tizen OS to run the show.
