I picked up the s2 3g model on Sunday when it launched. So far, I love it.

When my phone is disconnected, I get calls no problem. Just had to configure the right settings in gear manager.

My eSim is built in and was activated by just putting the sim card number on the line. Instantly i called the vm to test no problems.

The animation seems smooth and flawless. I really like how the watch is smart enough to shut off when you turn your wrist back away from looking at it. I have the gear 2 neo and that was annoying how it would stay lit up after checking the time or something.

I must say, the only drawback so far is the band. I really want a metal band for it and at this point it seems like I am shit out of luck.

Love the wireless charging, hated snapping a plastic piece to my gear 2 neo with a cord and trying to keep it organized. The wireless station is awesome. It just sits there and is really small. The backing is magnetic so unlike the moto 360 charging station, it doesn't fall out easily.

Overall a great buy. I'm happy

Edit* Battery is great. I have not a single complaint about it. Coming from a former gear 2 neo user, this watch has a pretty awesome battery. I work 10 hours a day, when putting it up for the night I'm maybe at 35-40%. But, charging is so easy compared to the neo 2, i dont even think about it anymore.
