Was £349.95 All major retailers have dropped it by £50 today to £299 however Argos rightly or wrongly have reduced it and also added a £50 code (S350 at checkout) taking it to £249.95 Great price for a UK model.

Thank you. I have just bought it. I was going to wait until the new product announcement on the 23rd but I don't like the look of the new sportier one.

I've also ordered. Might not open it yet to see if the price drops after 23rd. Just checked Argos returns policy which is:-
"Product faults. Most things we sell are covered by our 30–day money–back guarantee, so just return them to us unused, in their original undamaged packaging, in a saleable condition, with your receipt and we'll give you a refund."

I think you need to be logged in and it appears sometime during the checkout process.

Log in and proceed to checkout, either pay online to collect or get it delivered. You can't reserve & collect (without paying online) as no discount field appears to my knowledge.

Amazon have already dropped to £299 which all other retailers have done, not sure Argos have got this deal right hence what makes it a deal imo :smile:

Good price for the classic, however Frontier been found cheaper for some time.

Picked it up from Argos an hour ago. I don't think they have mis priced it. It's probably going to get lower than 249 when they release the new watch next week.

what new watch?
Prosamuraiman to hotukdealls
18 Aug 17#15
It't not a replacement for this watch per se, it's the next Gear Fit smart band.

I think there's going to be a direct replacement a Gear s4 too hence the rush to price drop.

Compatible with most androids, even non Samsungs.

If this was posted as a Apple Watch deal it would be -1000 by now

Tempted. But can see this being thrown in a draw after a year or so of use. I just feel they are not built to last. I could be wrong?

I'll buy a ticket for your draw.

Haha nice.. Drawer, not draw. My pet peeve however is 'would of'.

I bought the pebble watch and returned it after one day, so i can see your point.

I love my S2 Classic, chose it deliberately as it is a significantly smaller form factor than this version which IMO is far too big (plus I'm not a large boned kind of chap).
Sadly I got the S2 via eBay and turns out it isn't a UK model so have to send to Dubai for warranty repairs (back cover fell off!), plus only get 1yr not 2yr warranty (annoying.com). I just glued it back on!
Interested in a possible S4, perhaps form factor will be reduced again?

I don't think the S4 will be released till november like the S2 and S3, they haven't even announced it yet.

Cracking watch. I have the gorgeous Frontier version. Paid this price last month but it's a grey import from eGlobal Central. Samsung Pay works great with my Nationwide card.
Battery life is around two and a half days which is much better than the Apple Watch, and the Gear S3 even has an Always On Display which shows it off a lot more than the dull black idle display on the Apple Watch.
As mentioned previously, you don't need to have a Samsung phone for this to work fine. It works perfectly with my Huawei Honor 8.

Cheapest I've seen for a genuine UK model. Grey imports are cheaper but I don't mind paying a bit for for guaranteed UK model. Cheers for posting!

£269 at Amazon. Better returns policy for sure. Decisions decisions!

That's not with Amazon UK so you may end up with a UAE model from that seller.

No discount code field on mobile or desktop version on my phone. Must I pay now to see this field rather than pay in store?

Yea you have to pay online so you can enter code.

Thanks, ordered. Been looking at this watch for the last couple of days, waiting for a decent price. After reading and watching several reviews, can't wait to get my hands on it. Looks like a really decent piece of tech.

Forgot to mention, I recommend everyone should buy a round tempered glass screen protector. I've managed to clumsily walk into various things and had it not been for the protector my screen would be filled with scratches.

Great price and heat added. Just sold my s2 as didn't wear it enough prefer just normal watch in the end. Liked the notifications coming through and some nice watch faces but just found it a bit gimmicky really. The always on display sounds better if the battery can cope.

Had frontier since January. Very limited apps for tizen. Ir doesn't wven hace a dedicated whatsapp app. Some nice watch faces though, especially on the facer app.

Did you type this using the T9 keyboard on the watch by any chance?

19 Aug 17#38
Would it be right to assume the Frontier is more popular than the classic due to the total number of reviews on Argos? Circa 280 reviews for the Frontier vs c120 for the classic.

It's down to personal preference on appearance. I preferred the 'classic' :smile:

Good price! Very tempted to replace my Huawei for the Frontier ... It doesn't seem to have been reduced in the EEP part of the Samsung store, listing it still at £350, down to £264 with the EEP discount. It has been reduced on the non EEP website tho???

Don't worry, RRP prices have already come down from £349 to £299. New smart watches are in the pipeline. I'm sure that there will be Christmas deals on the horizon! :grin:

Have you found any reasons to suggest it maybe faulty? Mine, for example, once it looses Bluetooth connection with my phone, won't automatically reconnect. On occasion, my phone cannot re-pair (even manually), until I've factory reset the Gear S3.
Opening post

Great price for a UK model.
