The Samsung Gear S2 has a smaller battery, but claims to last anywhere from 2-3 days. The Moto 360 has two different battery sizes, and Moto claims 1.5 days with the smaller, and 1.5-2 days with the bigger watch. Interesting.

Both watches are water-resistant.

There is also a version of the Gear S2 with a bigger 300 mAh battery and 3G support. Meaning it won't need to be connected to a phone, and can make calls and such.
