No data line on it

I'm not sure what that means. None of the () Watches have a cellular radio, so all their data is either onboard or supplied by the phone. I wouldn't think the Watches' functionality is affected by what carrier is used for the phone.

Or you don't know what he thinks of it, yet?

It's Bluetooth enabled. Someone mentioned Series 2 is standalone. It is with GPS but for real standalone needs a separate phone number and it's on its own data plan. No Apple Watch does this. No carrier sells the Apple Watch
Samsung watch is a standalone and requires a contract on VERIZON. I know because I have the S2 and could use it separate from my phone. I jumped ship when I heard Samsung can be used on Apple but with limits. It's Bluetooth only and can't respond to texts messages I was happy to hear this because I jumped at the chance to switch to Apple.

I believe that people thought that you meant that your brother has an Apple Watch Series 2 when you said he had an "S2".

He does. Gave the Series 2. I have seen it referred as S2 which confused me at first. I thought they meant Samsung S2 like I have I have the series 1 watch innAppke as well
My brother wanted the newer one for the built in GPS.
That doesn't make it a fully functional standalone Watch.

I knew it was an AWS2. But the post read like three random bits of unrelated information strung together, their relationship a mystery.

Have the opportunity to pick up a 38mm series 2 for $275 does that seem like a fair price? I see Apple has refurbished for $309 I believe
