SAMSUNGSAVE20 brings this down to £279 - absolute bargain, heat added.

£269 if you have access to the Samsung EPP site as well! Heat!

Awesome deal. Thanks OP.

Tempted - This or a Android Wear 2 based smartwatch?
Does all the functionality work with a non Samsung phone?

I read an interesting article suggesting smart watches were going the same way as 3d TV and until android pay is on more watches I can see their point. The basic statement was that they serve no special purpose. Anyway I will still end up buying one I expect. Fancy the new Tag. Heat added

PS.

My other half absolutely loves his S3.

looks like a good deal, just cant warrant the spend lol. hoping for it to come down to the original Huawei watch price, that was sensible @ £180 ish but i doubt that will happen. I think the Apple watch spoilt it for everyone coming out at such a stupid price. Looks like all Android ware 2.0 watches now will be priced at the £300-£350 mark at the Apple price point

£233.50 is this the same watch ?

From Hong Kong ....... Nah I'll leave it :smile:

great watch heat added :smile:

gir

Great deal

Anyone any thoughts between classic or frontier version before I buy?

Beware! This is NOT Android Wear, Its TizenOS.

Is it just me, or does Samsung's site simply not let you pick either watch when you goto Buy Now.

I bought Samsung s2 and sold it few days later, tizen didn't convince me. I use Sony smartwatch 3 and love it. Samsung gear looks great, but Android wear offers better functionality.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :sunglasses:

looks ugly compared to apple version

£279 with code SAMSUNGSAVE20

I'd miss texts and phone calls all the time if it wasn't for my watch, and the cool watch faces are fun

Ffs. Got it a week ago for £314 via EPP. Have a android wear watch too and I'm very impressed with it. Get about 3 days battery, decent fitness tracker and I can unlock/lock my car :stuck_out_tongue:

You are right actually, I sometimes only notice my phone is ringing when my watch vibrates :smiley:

I had the same dilemma but just ordered the Classic since the watch is easily the best in hardware terms with a great battery life, taken a punt that the apps will improve but am happy with what's available right now anyway (first smartwatch)

second BEWARE, not compatible with Oneplus phones.

No GPS? Seems like a big omission to me at this price.

anyone know if there will be problems with connecting this to a Huawei phone? will be getting my pre-ordered P10 Plus in a couple of weeks.

Thanks OP, my special birthday soon (With a 0 on the end) and want one of these bad boys so copied the link and sent to my family.

Sorry, Samsung website seems confused. Says you need your phone's GPS signal on one page then built-in on the other!

Its a great watch shame it does'nt run android wear as there woud be allot more apps for it I believe..

the samsung gear app is not compatible. I called samsung after i received mine, and they told me so also. There is a list on the gear website, and Oneplus isnt on its "Compatible" list.

If you go on play store, and try and dl it, it says "not compatible with your device".

Great watch, got the Frontier version on release. Paid this price also. Heat.

I had a LG G Watch previously, which was a functional, but ugly, square.

Had a Frontier S3 a few weeks ago and eventually sent it back.

Technology-wise ... it's a great watch. It has all the fitness bits n bobs, tells the time, you can have dozens of watchfaces, notifications come through, can use the watch as a speaker and take/make calls through the phone itself.

But, the OS just didn't feel right. There is a SEVERE lack of apps for the watch. Samsung advertise thousands of apps, but seem to count 'watchfaces' as apps! The notifications are annoying in that you seem to have to go out and back in again to actually get rid of them, the steps counter wasn't very reliable as sitting at my desk i went through hundreds of steps...

Although the one thing that tipped me over the edge (and it's a silly thing, but the one thing i started off in the early days wanting a smart watch for) was that i could control my music, but after selecting the music app - if i moved the watch away from me, it would reset back to the "lock screen/watchface" and to go back i would have to reselect the music app again. Completely losing the point of the easy and quick change.

Went back to my pebble!

I have the Gear S2 and a OnePlus 3T, work flawlessly, so I am not sure, why are you having problems.

i have the Oneplus 2, and got the s3. Wont allow the gear app on it. Samsung themselves said the two were not compatible.

Compatibity list- no Oneplus

http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s3/device-compatibility/

Anyone know where to buy the LG watch sport or Huawei watch 2 yet??

I wouldn't make my purchasing decision solely on the devices listed on this webpage as my device (Sony Z5 Premium) isn't on there but it works. Looks like the list hasn't been updated either.

id agree-samsung phones not listed either. Though i can confirm that my Oneplus 2 didnt/doesnt work with it.

Great offer, but they use UK Mail only for deliveries, and in our area, they are worse than useless. Only deliver Monday to Friday daytime (we are at work), Samsung don't allow them to leave parcels in safe place, UK Mail don't leave parcels with any local shops or post offices and the nearest depot is a 2 hour, 90 mile round trip and closes at 12pm on Saturday (isn't open at all on Sunday). Has no-one told Samsung that this is the 21st century?

how do you add these to the basket??? i click buy now, then it scrolls to choose yours, but cant select any?

lol, very odd !

I have the same, works fine for me.

So I am dreaming when using my S2 and my Onplus 3T together. Nice.

Cant explain the why's or why not's. This is the S3 rather than your S2 and mine is the Oneplus 2 to your Oneplus 3T. I couldnt, and/or it wouldnt allow me to dl the Gear app, plus Samsung themselves told me it woukdnt/shouldnt work. Was gutted, as the watch looked, and from what i saw, worked great. Luckily Samsung let me return it free of charge. As for the compatibility list, obviously out of date.

The Frontier is now down to £287.08 at Amazon (UK):
[ https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-Gear-S3-Frontier-Smartwatch/dp/B01MF5IUEW/ ]

Amazon (UK) dropped to £283.89.

The gear s3 was recently rooted, and android wear port is in the works, once that's available and you know what you're doing then you could install android wear 2.0 on the gear s3!

Now back in stock on Samsungs official website. Cheers for the heads up

Just ordered at £279 delivered next working day

I had the same issue - my PC (Chrome and Safari) did not allow me to click. Oddly though, my phone did. So I had to order it using my Samsung phone - maybe they only test their website on their own products :wink:

So here is some update: I bought the S3 which arrived today. I connected it with my OnePlus 3T without any problems, works like a charm.

does anyone have a discount code thats valid for the s3 classic thanks

must be out of stock
