Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 and S2 Classic

This is basically Samsung's more affordable sports option. The watch is almost identical to the classic model in every single way and it has a 3G option as well. The bands on this watch made out of silicon, but if you want something more metallic or leather, the S2 classic is probably the better choice.
