I suppose this may have been discussed but I have not found it.

I’m a multi-watch kind of guy. Wear one today, switch to a different one tomorrow. Most of that is charge management. I do wear it to sleep and usually can go 24 hours on a charge. In the past both were S2 so no cellular on them.

I’d love a second S4 watch now that I’ve got one. I’ve already found I like the user experience on the bigger screen quite a lot more. But I already checked with my carrier and you cannot attach two cellular watches to one phone account. Not so hung up on this that I’d want a 2nd phone and 2nd charge for a watch. Anyway that is a whole different discussion.

Anyway I’d prefer to get a second SS (probably SB) S4 Watch that is WiFi-GPS only. But seems they only offer SS in Cellular models. Don’t really need to pay $130 more for a function I won’t be able to use.

I may have to settle for a SG Aluminium if I do decide to get a 2nd S4 watch.

Is it the same worldwide? I’m in Canada so not impossible that the selection elsewhere is not identical to here.

If you want a 2nd watch for something specific like working out or the like you could look at picking up a used Series 2 in SBSS. It will run OS5 no problem and can serve your needs if they are limited. Plus one can be had for around $250.

As noted in the OP I have 2 S2 watches in SS already. Don’t need to pick one up.

I like to have a couple of options and prefer the larger screen of the S4 by a huge amount.
