Samsung Gear VR questions

[AC Question]

Hi, I am about to buy a Samsung Gear VR tomorrow from a person I met online in an online selling site. He is just selling this for a fraction of the price, like 75% off from the $99.99 retail price so I guess this is too big of a deal, given that I'll give this as a gift to my godson. So, considering that I have little knowledge on the Gear VR, I have the below following questions hopefully you can answer in detail for the product testing tomorrow.

1) I am looking for the latest version of the Gear VR, seeing that there are a LOT of models since 2014, what is the latest version/model number of the Gear VR? Where is it written on the box? I'm looking for the latest one that came with the Samsung S7 Edge.

2) What should I check for in a legit product? How would I know if it is a fake? Like something copied from China of some sort?

3) What should I look out for in damages that are not easy to find? Like maybe scratches on the goggles/screen? Charging issues? Anything people who owns this product find problematic? Tips perhaps?

4) Since I'm just bringing my older S6 Edge, what should I do first in testing the product? I mean anyone can teach me how to manipulate and make the product work?

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate this.

If it fits, use it. All of the operation is in the software. All the plug does is let you use the navpad and charge while in use.

It should say what phones it works with on the box. Allso look for innovator edition on the front this is the older one that won't work with s7.
