First post so go easy. I know there's a new Samsung watch due but thought this was a good deal compared to other retailers. Also, if you go on Scans offer page 'today only' you can get this for £107.99. Scan states it's 'open box' so if you're not sure what that means give them a call.

It's Tizen os. Also supports ios according to the specs on scans website. I picked one up today.
Nice deal, still got my huawei watch. Otherwise would've ordered

Works on iOS but is limited compared to using it on android. You can't reply to messages via the watch at all on iOS. And the Samsung gear app on iOS doesn't have all the apps like when using it with android.
I'm not sure what difference it is from using with Samsung phone to any other android phone. Also no Samsung pay either.

I bought this when it first came out for £220 - this is an extreme bargain!

How good is 'open box' at Scan?
wheelerdealer87
16 Sep 17#15
If it's going to be a smart watch it's got to be Apple. Flawless. Proper sleek and smart with Apple Pay etc. Samsung need to up their game on that front.
muckspreader1 to wheelerdealer87
17 Sep 17#27
Ha ha of course they do.Apple watches are terrible.Poor battery life and so ugly.Would rather save for a proper watch not a kids 80s toy.

Caveat is you must have an iPhone, of course. Even then I haven't used my Apple watch over the last year. However, Samsung would argue they don't need to up their game and consider their watch works flawless with Samsung phones plus orders good operability with Android in general and some operability with iOS. The reduced functionality is partly Samsung trying to promote their own products (as with most companies), but in the case of iOS, also some restrictions imposed by Apple themselves.

I am a bit wary - can't find info on Scan's return policy for open box items
jesper10 to Sanzai
17 Sep 17#30
Any item bought online (from a store, not eBay /Gumtree etc) has a cooling off period by law. It used to be the Distance Selling Regulations it came under, but is now Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Can't find any information on 'open box' on the website, Standard returns policy is
What is your returns policy?If you receive an item, that isn't suitable that you wish to return you can return this to us within 14 calendar days for a full refund. This product must be returned in the condition that the item was sold in, please see our terms and conditions for further information.
Also worth noting that distance selling regulations gives you the right to return goods if you are unhappy with the condition, In both cases you may have to pay for return postage yourself, depending on Scan's policy..... er....which they don't appear to state. Also unclear whether they will refund the original postage cost, although i very much doubt it. Better retailers let you return goods for free with little or no questions asked. Browsing Scan's T&C's it gives them lots of possible rights e.g. to charge a restocking fee, while providing the bare minimum to the consumer. In the end it all comes down to the retailers goodwill and wish to retain a good reputation.

Good watch but the lack of a speaker is a downside. Not many apps on tizen website either. There's a gba emulator now though.
vickstar79 to kester76
17 Sep 17#26
Thought it did have one?I've ordered this and now unsure
kester76 to vickstar79
17 Sep 17#28
Gear s3 does but only a mic on the s2 but you can use bluetooth headphones
vickstar79 to kester76
17 Sep 17#37
What's the point in the mic without a speaker?wonder if I can cancel, not sure how often I'd walk around with Bluetooth headphones and aren't they almost as much as I've paid for this watch?
cigbunt to vickstar79
17 Sep 17#38
Why do you want a speaker?? To take calls? Any other reason
vickstar79 to cigbunt
17 Sep 17#40
Yeah I was thinking you could take calls with it but agree with the advice about not really wanting to talk into a watch :grin:
RichHuish to vickstar79
17 Sep 17#39
You can get a pair of Bluetooth headphones for £10 these days in all good supermarkets. The point in the mix without a speaker is you have the ability to record speech and use s voice commands on it. I've had the S1 which had a speaker and camera and honestly I bearly used the speaker. If a call comes through it does become a bit embarrassing talking into your wrist while in public. Depends on how you feel about that but I'm not a wallflower and not much fazes me but I still preferred turning to my phone once the buzz on the watch had alerted me to a call coming in.

RichHuish
17 Sep 17#34
It is a lovely smart watch. I picked mine up for £70 second hand on gumtree a year ago. It's smaller than the bulky s3 which is a benefit however does not have a speaker so you can't take calls on it unlike earlier models and doesn't have a camera unlike earlier models and doesn't have Samsung Pay but then Samsung Pay isn't available to every bank yet (Halifax for example) however all in all a pleasing watch and nice looker.

Apple need to update their game on design. Apple Watch is very feminine
RichHuish
17 Sep 17#43
It's more that everyone gets to hear what the person you're talking to is saying that was the embarrassment...the key points of the watch are a credible step counter and heart rate monitor (unlike the cheaper ones) which is a key for me as I run 15-20 miles a day; and the ability to see messages emails and notifications on your wrist without using the phone - which as using mobile phones at the desk are banned in my workplace is a godsend. You get to read news stories and it's a very nice looking watch with nice looking faces for what would be a reasonable price for any decent traditional watch.

Don't wish to be unnecessarily alarmist but do Scan have a real time stock updating system? It's Sunday, they are continuing to take orders, telephone lines are closed and i'm wondering how many open boxes of this watch do they actually have? I've built my hopes up of getting one and don't want to be in the situation of mass refunds tomorrow. Anyone know?

Gone for one.. considering I already have a pebble steel and don't even both with apps on that I don't think not having a speaker will be a big deal for me personally. I'll take my calls the old fashion way...
What I am most worried about is how good the voice commands are since it's not using Google now..

Voice commands are flaky, but to be honest you do feel a bit of a bell end talking to your watch anyway. Novelty wore off quickly for me so don't feel I've lost out. Easier to twist the Bezel or use the phone anyway. Love the fitness side & nagging to get off my butt regularly & increase my step count & activity. Great watch.

Doesn't have android pay or Samsung pay & won't be getting it as far as I can tell. Not a deal breaker though as I use my phone instead.
greenant
17 Sep 17#62
Circular watches especially those from Samsung tend to be very big on the wrist. That's a big benefit of Apple Watch with a rectangular design and probably why it's the best selling wristwatch right now. At first I preferred Android watches for the circular design, but they're so big and clunky when you try them. I see very few women wearing Samsung watches for this reason too.
B_T
17 Sep 17#63
Very tempted but not android ware and my phone is not a Samsung.
Look at the facts. The deal was posted 17 hours ago, loads of heat generated on HUKD, Scan are still taking orders and showing 'in stock' and their office is closed on a Sunday. I fear it most unlikely Scan has a huge shed load of open boxes for this one particular model. I've got a bad feeling about this, my bat senses are tingling. Someone please reassure me that i'm wrong.
Sanzai
17 Sep 17#66
What's to worry? If they have sufficient stock we will get them, if not then we won't. If you don't count your chickens before they are hatched, you won't feel as bad if it doesn't work out.
This isn't an essential item, would just be nice to have at this sort of price.
I don't think anyone here can truly reassure you or confirm your concern. We shall find out for sure soon.

17 Sep 17#70
True. Nothing to do but wait. There still remain some on line sellers who are either too tight fisted or lazy to invest in an efficient real time stock updating system. As a result, they cause upset to customers and gather in cash/personal details for orders they never have a hope of fulfilling. It's unacceptable in 2017. I sincerely hope i am wrong in this instance. We'll see come Monday morning.
The item ordered was open box stock with a limited number available in stock.
The watch proved to be more popular than we had anticipated and stock sold out very quickly.
Orders have been fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis and I’m sorry to advise that your order could not be completed on this occasion.
Regrettably we have had to cancel your order and issue you a full refund.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment.

The apple watch looks like a calculator watch from the 90's. It has nothing to do with why the apple watch sells well.
If you want a smart watch and use android or Samsung you would have to be an idiot to buy the apple watch.

I hate to say i told you so but.... "I TOLD YOU SO!!" Mind you, it didn't stop me from trying to order one on Sunday morning but my congrats to the lucky few who got in first. I believe Scan don't do this sort of thing deliberately, they are simply incompetent. In 2017 every online business of any significance should have a real time stock updating system. It's not rocket science FFS. Aah well, i've made a mental note never to order on a Sunday from Scan ever again.
