Some Questions About The Gear S2 I Just Received

I think the model designation is "S2 d9bf." Does anyone know which one this is? On the Samsung website there is a "Classic" and a (presumably different) "S2." Is the one I received the BT model or the 3g model.

Also once I paired it to my phone via BT it prompted me to make a call. This brought me to an automated Verizon device registration site. Because I was worried that if I completed this process I'd be charged another monthly fee I dumped out of this. Can anyone tell me if the watch is viewed by Verizon as an independent device and, thus, another device on your account (for which you'd be charged) or does it simply use the linked phone to place the call.

I'm confused. Help!
 
if you got this through the Verizon/Samsung promotion it is a 3g model. You don't need to use the 3g if you will always have it near your phone an be connected via BT or it will also connect via wifi. If want to use the watch without the phone - let's say you are a runner and want to use/ware the watch but leave your phone at home - you would need to use 3g. The 3g option costs money and I believe it is $5/month. BTW the d9bf is the watch's ID.
