You can also use apps like Maps without having your phone on you, as the 3G version has built-in GPS. For instance, the main reason why you'd opt for the 3G version is so you could leave your phone at home when you go out for a run or go to the gym, for example, and still be able to receive calls and texts. That's more than double the price of the regular Gear S2, which is quite the hefty premium for the amount of convenience it offers. Of course, buying it with an eSIM makes it quite a bit more expensive than the Bluetooth-only version, as even the entry-level contract will cost you £538 over the course of two years.

The 3G version of the Gear S2 Classic is currently exclusive to O2, and you can get one for £10 upfront and then a monthly cost of at least £22 thereafter depending on how much data you need. That case is made out of stainless steel, not plastic as you might first think, and so it's tougher and feels more expensive than it looks. It’ll take the abuse too, with an IP68 rating meaning that it’s dust-proof and waterproof for at least 30min, at up to 1m in depth. In short, this is a watch I’d happily wear all the time. The sleek design means it doesn’t catch on your clothes and the shape and strap make it incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s certainly not trying to be a fancy watch and I really like that. It’s not small at 42x50x11.4mm, but it doesn’t feel that big on your wrist either. Its smooth lines, side buttons and neatly-integrated rubber strap are reminiscent of a slick digital watch, but then it has that round face, which instantly makes you think analogue. The standard S2 doesn’t exactly look distinctive, but then again it doesn’t look much like anything else either. I reviewed the more modern-looking Gear S2, but there’s also a S2 Classic, which has a more traditional look and a chunkier bezel.

Tapping either wakes up the screen, Back lets you step back in apps, while Home returns to the time, brings up all you apps, and also acts as a power button if held - it's far better than Android Wear’s tortuous trip through settings to turn the watch off. There are Back and Home buttons on the side of the watch too. You can still swipe if you prefer, though, or tap to get more details. It’s also easy to use even if you’re wearing gloves, which is handy in the winter. It provides instant access to a lots of useful information, without all that awkward swiping and tapping on a tiny screen. It’s brilliantly implemented too, letting you switch from the time, to notifications, calendar appointments, media playback, fitness tracking, weather, alarms and more - all at a simple twist. Not with heavy and grand clunks, but deftly with a subtle click, it doesn’t quite spin, but the action is light enough to be near effortless. It may not be obvious then, but the outer edge of this smartwatch does rotate. You'd normally expect a blind-worth TAG Heuer or Rolex to have a milled metal wheel marked with numbers, the Gear S2, on the other hand, has a subtle bezel that's almost invisible. The Samsung Gear S2 has a rotating bezel, which makes it really impressive.
