>This is one of the first watches I've seen that is capable of standing on its own (somewhat) if untethered from a phone. There have been cell phone watches, but not at this price point, and not with the same slick interface.

Am I living in a parallel universe or just the future? You can get watch phones for less than the price of an actual (decent) watch. You can get ones that run Android for less than a hundred bucks. I don't understand all the hype about these super-expensive, low-functionality things (although your Gear S3 Frontier seems nice).
