Samsung Gear S2 Smartwatch 30mm Stainless Steel AT&T: Stay connected by pairing this smartwatch to your compatible Android tablet or phone. Receive e-mail and alerts without disrupting your day, and even monitor your heart rate.
Q: Why would you get this watch over the one that's unlocked
A: The other models aren't unlocked. This is the only model on BestBuy.com that can make calls/texts while away from your phone (IT HAS TO BE ADDED AS A LINE TO YOUR PHONE BILL FOR 10$ A MONTH). The other models cannot do that. They have to be within bluetooth range of the phone they are paired with to interact with them. This one you can leave the phone at home, and use the watch as your phone. That is why the others don't have a carrier listed under them.
A: No, it won't. I asked around (Samsung specialist at Best Buy & Samsung live chat). I have Sprint, too. It'll only work with AT&T. This model won't take calls on Sprint using 3/4G nor Bluetooth. I heard Sprint may be getting this model in January.
Q: Why does this watch specify a carrier?
A: Probably because they offer 3g/4g service through at&t. But if you're not with at&t contact your carrier to see if they have the watch and theyll be able to provide you with service for it. I have this watch through verizon and it works great.
Q: do you have to have an at&t phone contract to use this watch?
A: For the 3G version, yes. For the wifi/bluetooth only version, no.
A: It has to be paired. This model does anyway. I think they made a version of this that had cellular though. Cellular does come with a 10$ monthly charge (usually)
