Good comparison article! Fully agree. As an owner of both watches, when you factor in the benefits of the 3G version of the Gear S2, it crushes the iWatch into Apple-sauce. Functionality of an iWatch without an iPhone makes it as useful as a paperweight. Because it literally has built-in cellphone capabilities, an S2/3G can run so independently from your smartphone, including making and receiving calls. That’s super handy when a cellphone’s bulk is a burden: at the gym, cycling, wearing a bikini—you get the picture. The one advantage of the Apple Watch is the vast number of band styles and materials available compared to the S2. Go with an Apple Watch if you want a fashion accessory. But, if you want form, function, features, and untethered independence, go with the Gear S2/3G. (Added the S2/3G to my T-Mobile account for just $10/month more. Bought it on their Jump plan so I can upgrade to the next model for a fraction of the cost.)
