So I pre-ordered my Note 7 today and Verizon salesman offered me a good discount on the Gear 2 watch...$50. I dont know if its worth it or not. I wear a Citizen watch as my everyday watch. I guess there would be a line charge for the watch. really trying to decide what to do.

How valuable is something like this to you guys that have it?
 
The gear 2 is a pretty old watch. $50 isn't bad though
 
You can add it to your collection of watches. Watches to men are like shoes to women.

That's a good deal to me!
 
It's the Gear S2 on promo..their newest one. I have the gear2 as well
I got it tonight. It's well worth it. I like having a smartwatch. Great addition to the phone. I do think the Gear 2 is prettier. I have the bronze. But the Gear S2 does much more. I got the black. Will get watch bands to dress it up. I am impressed. Will take getting used to.

He probably wants to sell you a data add on plan to go with it. They basically want you to throw more money at them every month.
 
It's a good deal, but remember you would need to sign a 2 year contract and add a line and pay the monthly fee, on AT&T it's $10 a month, not sure how much it is on Verizon.

Gear 2 and gear s2 are two completely different phones. Gear s2 is a good deal for the price.. Does it require a 2 year commitment?
 
Ok, It's $49.99 for the watch plus a $40.00 activation fee and like $10.00 extra a month on your bill and a 2 year contract.

Or you can get the Gear S2 Classic for only $99.00

It's the $40. activation fee that gets you. I'm tempted to purchase the classic though.

The activation fee. Where you pay verizon so they can set you up to pay verizon on a monthly basis. It's not a good deal unless you were already planning on getting one and using it on Verizon. Otherwise any savings gets eaten up by the data plan. Note that this isn't a knock on the Galaxy Gear S2. It's a great smartwatch and well worth $100. From what I've read you can also get a 256 gb sd card for free.

$10/mo is $240 over 2 years. If you need mobile data service on the watch then sure it is a good deal. Otherwise, I would pass
 
I thought Samsung was offering it for FREE

The free offer from Samsung, Gear Fit 2 does not require data and is free. The Gear 2 offer is a different offer from the carrier that is intended to get addtional lines activated.
