Bargain, shame i already have the Fontier and the Fit2 can't be had with a small strap in the UK.

great price but... if I have an S3, why do I want a gear fit 2 as well? Doesn't the S3 do everything the Fit 2 does plus more?

I was thinking that as well?! It was like this time I saw Mobile Phones Direct selling a Samsung S7 along with an Apple Watch as the 'free gift'...

They are on Tizen. The UK model of the Gear S3 does not have LTE built in.

The watch comes with two straps for large or small wrists. There are also hundreds of straps that will also fit as it's a universal size.

Don't forget 4% cash back from TCB and use PayPal 4 months 0% credit. Went through the application last night and got £4000 credit. All these makes this deal even hotter!

Was totally on the fence about this, especially with new Android Wear 2.0 devices not too far away. But my wife has taken a shine to the included Gear Fit so I had to take one for the team and order a shiny new toy.... Can't wait! Cheers op and heat added.
creepyg
13 Feb 17#24
If you're both referring to the S3 then you get 2 sizes of strap included. I believe the large(r) is fitted as standard. The Gear Fit 2 only comes in large in the UK.

13 Feb 17#25
Is the fit 2 included in this deal the latest model or is it the old model without HRM?

Latest with HRM.

Hey :smiley: Just a message as we've had to remove some comments from this thread as we do not allow trade deals to be struck up in the deals section.
If anyone has items they wish to sell they must use the designated FS/FT section here.

So what's the actual difference between the frontier and classic models here in the UK then seeing as we don't get an LTE model?
creepyg to Mikebham
13 Feb 17#34
I don't think there is a difference, aside from purely cosmetic. I certainly couldn't find one.

Yes. It's got GPS built in and you can download Spotify.

Cosmetic I have the Frontier which is chunky whereas the classic is more discrete both do exactly the same functions neither in the UK have LTE.

13 Feb 17#41
Well, I've got to say I'm hugely impressed by Tizen and Samsung's Gear app. After 18 months using Android Wear I was worried about making the change but there were absolutely no problems.
Setup was over and done with in a couple of minutes and all my notifications etc work exactly as before. Strangely, it actually formats my G-mail messages better than Android Wear! Still have all the options to delete, archive etc.
The watch itself is a gorgeous piece of hardware, solid and very tactile.
Everything just feels so much more polished and complete than Android Wear.
Can't wait to see how it evolves...

Just a warning guys - the Gear S3 is massive!
I'd recommend seeing one in the flesh or trying one on before buying.

Anyone using this on a non Samsung Android phone? Having been reading up on the web I can't work out if there are major limitations with things like replying to text messages and issues with answering the phone but audio getting routed to the watch when you don't want that. Anyone having these issues?
synet
13 Feb 17#46
Very tempted by this. Can get it at the £314 price too. But I've got a Huawei watch already, and the Missus would probably kill me!!

Just gone for this, been looking at getting the frontier for a while. Was £314 after 10% off as a Tesco colleague deal and I should be able to sell the gear fit as well so more than happy with this deal.

Just bought this on Sat and delivered Mon, S3 Gear isn't that big depends on your wrist size, Awesome bit of kit and I will sell off the Fit unit as it isn't needed. Anyone looking for some wearable tech not that I have tried much but this is very good syncs with my S7 edge really well... and lots of different watch faces to choose from.
simonallsopp1
14 Feb 171#57
Guess I'll take my opinion, and these below, somewhere else. Sorry I couldn't help anyone.
It is pretty massive tbh, same kinda size as a G-Shock / Protrek and looks pretty stupid on a girl... I think it looks great but feel it kinda misses the point of a smart watch / fitness tracker as it's not great for running in and bounces about on your wrist, and is very easy to smack on doors and walls due to its size. I think I'd probably keep the Gear Fit and sell the S3... I've already got an S2 though.

I cannot remember how to do the interest free PP credit, do I just choose the PP credit? I bought my s7 edge last year via pp with 0%
Superted to RobM_UK
15 Feb 17#63
it shows various options re pp credit all of which have interest however in the small print it says you get 4 months interest free. I wasn't 100 % convinced so bought it outright.

MacGyverUS
15 Feb 171#64
You need to apply the PayPal credit via PayPal web site first. You will then told how much credit you get from the application (it took less than 30 seconds to tell me I have £4K credit in my account). Once you have that, you can proceed to order this via Samsung web site and choose to pay using PayPal. From there, you will get 4 months 0% interest free using PayPal as checkout option.
vtec
15 Feb 171#65
my wrist size is 7.25 inch which is quite big. average is 6.5 and i found the watch to be big. The classic is slightly better sized but the frontier has the better looks.
I'll be going for the classic because 90% of the time i dress smart casual. If you wear sporty clothes most of the time probably better going for the frontier.
Absolute bargain. Thanks OP and more thanks to Rich069.

Thanks. :smile: Managed to speak with the guy on the phone from PP and got it worked out and got my order done.
Second question, other than the standard watch faces that are on the watch and those available via the app and watch itself, are there any other faces that can be had for nowt money?
creepyg
18 Feb 17#76
Yep, there's free faces available via the Samsung App store. Currently have a Pip-boy one running on mine. Worth looking at some of the paid apps that allow you create your own too.
RobM_UK
18 Feb 17#77
I have installed actually quite a few via the samsung app incl. the pip boy. :smile: What paid for apps do you mean that allow you to make your own? Also what I mean outside the samsung apps are there any other places that has faces for the watch.
creepyg
18 Feb 17#78
Apps like Facer for example allow you to design your own as well as having a selection of pre-configured faces. Not aware of any other places you'd get faces, at least not any other legit places :wink:.
