They detailed battery sizes in the launch post of the Gear S2. As they laid out, the 300mAh battery is only for the SIM variant, and will provide similar battery life to the Bluetooth variant with the smaller capacity.

if this was about say Xiaomi, maybe it would be a surprise... but seriously, who would have doubts about a Samsung device's availability? =)) of course they'll all sell it

Why they show the Gear S2 Classic(which is exceptionally ugly) only? The editor is an obvious anti-fan of Samsung. Didn't even mention the bigger 300mah battery that it have. No specs reveal? This is written half-heartedly.
