I caved and ordered it.

It's a steal at that price, but i am looking for the S3 Classic - seen any deals for this?

However, isnt the S4 due out later this year? That will no doubt push down the S3 orice even further.

It's the same with everything. Have it now or wait for the next update. I will take my Moto 360 2nd to Cex to sell.

I've not seen the classic for same price, what from I've read on forums a lot of people going for the frontier over the classic.

I still like the look of the Classic, so will keep an eye out for any price drops.

Also, i'm flying from Luton to Romania tomorrow for a week or so - i wonder if i can pick one up duty free or cheap whilst out there?

(let me know if anyone wants me to pick anything up for them!)

Used the gear s3 frontier for the day and first impressions are good, great build quality, feels Premium, loads of features.

Hardest part is choosing a watch face. There are so many on the various apps.

Can someone help with this small problem. I want to buy some Gear S3 apps but my bank does not support Samsung pay.
With Google I just buy a Google play card from my local shop. I can't find a pre paid card for Samsung.

So how do I go about buying apps from Samsung?

You have to set up an account with Samsung and then use any bank card

Thanks but I do not want to do that. Shame really as I was going to buy loads of apps for the Gear S3.
Now to keep it or send it back and stick with my Moto 360?

Now that sounds good. Have you got any info or link to how I would do this please?

I did try to look in the options of the galaxy app but couldn't see one.
