Samsung Gear S2, Samsung's latest smart watch unveiled last September, is now the most awaited device to be released this season.

Smart watch fanatics won't have to wait long because Gear S2 will be heading their way very soon, all thanks to T-Mobile and Verizon.

The all new wearable gear is scheduled to arrive to the two mobile carriers in November.

Verizon is now offering pre-orders of Gear S2 priced at $349.99 and customers can start buying them online and in physical stores starting on Nov. 6.

One can also get the device at a lower price of $299.99 if one signs up for a two-year contract.

The carrier is also offering the gear at $5 per month on top of the customer's current plan.

T-Mobile, on the other hand, offers the same $5 per month on top of an existing plan, which means customers can use the watch to call, send an e-mail, and tweet using the carrier's unlimited call/text and data plan.

Meanwhile, if the phone is offered without contract, it will cost a bit more than Verizon's, selling at $360. T-Mobile will be offering the unlocked gear by Nov. 15.

For both carriers, Gear S2 will come in two color options: silver and dark grey.

On the other hand, AT&T and U.S. Cellular account holders will also have their chance to own the new Gear S2, but they might have to wait for the exact dates and price details since both carriers have not announced such information yet.

For U.S. Cellular though, only the Bluetooth-version of the smart watch will be offered.

The Samsung Gear S2 features a 1.2-inch Super AMOLED full-round display with a 360 by 360 resolution. It is powered by a dual-core 1 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM. It also comes with a 4 GB internal storage.

One of the most highlighted features of this watch is its rotating bezel. A user can change watch modes and scroll the apps using this feature.
