Yeh, it is. But why not get a LG G Watch Ror a Sony SmartWatch 3?
Why are they better?
Do you know if they are available on contract?

I had the Gear 2 and now have the LG G Watch R. Just a better all round experience. Better app support. Cheaper.
You get them on contract with a phone at Vodacom I saw.

Awesome thanks man, busy looking at the Samsung Gear S, it really looks so much more than the others though?

look at some reviews on the LG G Watch R before you take the plunge, as well as the Sony. They all work with the Samsung, where the Gear S only work with Samsung.

I got my Gear S on Monday through Kalahari.com and I am very pleased with it. I had the original Gear and the Gear S is just so much better, but in the end it comes down to personal preference.
The Gear S made more sense for me since it can be used as a stand-alone phone. All too often I have to leave the office on short notice to take photo shoots, so I usually only take my camera with me. With the Gear S on my wrist I'll always be able to receive important calls no matter where I am.
I got used to the camera on my original Gear and it would have been nice if they included it on the Gear S, but it's not a deal breaker for me. The battery however could have been better, I only get two days with location services and motion disabled. The battery on my original Gear easily lasted at least three days.
They have improved the notification system, and I love the fact that I can send (even if it's on a tiny little keyboard
) and receive emails (excluding images) on my Gear S.
Like I said before the Gear S isn't for everyone, and most people will prefer something more simple and with less features.
