This watch replaced my Gear S model. I did not purchase the Gear S2 because it was too small and had some connectivity issues when I tested it. So far the S3 has performed flawlessly. It's not as bulky as the S model so I can easily access it from under my jacket now that it's getting chilly. The display is easy to read from any angle and there are tons of options for a watch face design to choose from (many of them are free). The pre loaded watch designs are good enough for any kind of everyday use. Haven't tested the waterproof capabilities yet, but I haven't had to take it off while washing stuff around the house or work. The watchbands that come with it are a little bit stiff and could be uncomfortable depending on how you wear them, but I found that Amazon carries all kinds of watchbands for it and I got a couple that feel super comfortable. The fact that this watch can take a regular band makes your comfort/style choices endless. Battery life is improved from my S model. I have it on the "Always on" display and have it set to give me all kinds of alerts and notifications throughout the day, after 10 hours of use I still have about 75% battery left. I always charge my phone and watch at night when I go to sleep so I don't know if it would be able to hold a charge for 2 days. The interface is easy to learn and you can master it in a few hours, the rotating bezel makes things easy. Typing on a small screen could be challenging; however, you have the little dictation icon on it so you can actually speak what you want to type. Voice recognition works great, I haven't had to re-dictate yet. The GPS is very accurate so you could use any program that would involve knowing your exact location, like Uber or Navigation. It also means that it tracks your distance and steps better than other wearables. Overall, a great looking watch capable of doing pretty much everything your phone does.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Can I use this like the regular Bluetooth version. I don't want to use the 4lt.
Yes you can, you will be able to use any feature you want, except you will have to have your phone with you to receive or initiate any calls or texts.

My dad wants to know if it has to be connected to the phone or if its basically its own phone in watch form.
This watch, the AT&T version, gives you the choice to leave your phone at home and just go out with the watch. Once you 'Number Sync' your phone will automatically redirect any calls or texts to your watch, all you have to do is say "answer" or "reject" to take or decline the call. Your contact picture and info will be displayed when they call or text you. You can also 'tell' your phone to call any of your contacts or dictate a number so you can initiate a call or text yourself. It has GPS capabilities so you can use any of your navigation apps while your phone is home, make sure you download the app to your phone first. It also allows you to make payments at any checkout stand that takes debit or credit card payments, all you have to do is tap your watch on it.
