Samsung's Charm wearable is a stylish fitness tracker that relays smartphone notifications

The Samsung Charm only comes with a 17mAh battery, but thanks to the low energy consumption of both the LED panel and the wireless connection, the wearable is listed with an autonomy of up to 18 days.

The wearable also doubles as a barebones fitness tracker that can count steps and track walking/running distances. All of this data can be exported to the S Health app, Samsung's central hub for fitness information.

Unfortunately, as the Charm was announced alongside other accessories for the Galaxy S7 series, we wouldn't bet on compatibility with previous-generation Samsung handsets. 

On the other hand, the Charm remains an interesting accessory type which could aid Samsung in gaining more traction in the wearable market. As such, maybe the Samsung Charm will not be limited to the Galaxy S7 series. We have contacted Samsung with hopes to clarify the compatibility details, and we'll update this post as soon as the information is available.
