Just managed to get this watch brand new, yes in 2018 and it came out in 2014 lol THE best smart watch simple even in 2018 with with the S3 out Gear S is the best because of the design, larger screen, own SIM card and WIFI

I was skeptical at first before purchase, but once done it's great. An amazing talking point, that a lot of friends have positively commented on, and with Sat Nav, S-health, phone calls, messaging and a few helpful apps, so far it's a great purchase. Battery life does a couple of days which is not bad (charge at night). Brilliant purchase.

Completely independent from phone, makes phone calls and texts.This is what I expected from a watch. Could have been better with few more productive applications specifically notes, organizer etc
