It's been as cheap as £150 on amazon. So don't be in a rush to buy.
The new chipset is out next month, but who is going to use it is I have no clue.

But soon(2019) there will be a Huawei watch 3

Thanks, I'll be waiting forever and a day if thats the case.....

Amazon is showing a voucher promo for the Ticwatch E making it £115. I might take a punt at that price.

Aren't the ticwatch range supposed to be laggy and slow in use?

I was looking at the "Pro" version but read its not great performance wise

EDIT: Might hold out for the Falster 2 and see what the price is on that unit

Anybody moved from the S3 frontier to the new one?
Is there anything on the new one which makes it worthwhile doing?

I considered it but my S3 is now very stable with improved battery life, however at release it was a buggy mess. The biggest jump forwards on the new model is battery life and full waterproofing, and I would jump at the chance for that if not for the risks of bugs in a brand new software and hardware release. It'd be a big step backwards from what I have today and probably very likely too. Plus I imagine many of the apps I use today might not work properly from day 1 on the new watch. The cashback deal is very tempting though.

Ordered Rose Gold for the wife on the 19/08 and that is saying 1-2 weeks

Did you call and ask why?

 

[AndyCr15]

Erm... zero effort to actually get it then? Okay... (Do you even know for sure it's supposed to actually come with the watch, like, in the same delivery?)

Maybe you should check your emails I got that 3 days ago

 

[AndyCr15]

No... no... he's done with Samsung. Probably sent the watch back by now.

 

[iMacMart]

I'll have the wireless charger if you don't want it and the watch has gone out the window!

 

[skaif]

Got mine all delivered today (wireless charger included - its mahoosive!)

Anyone got the Galaxy wearable app to work on a custom rom? I am on Resurrection Remix running 7.1.2 on my Note 3 and don't really want to go back to Samsungs Touchwiz based roms...

I've got a Pebble Steel, which is starting to have issues - obviously not replaceable with another Pebble.

Any suggestions for something else to replace it with, to pair with an iPhone?

Should I just be going with an Apple Watch, or is there something on the market which works well with an iPhone without being so expensive? I'm a bit clumsy with watches, so I'm hesitating to spend the money an Apple watch would require.

Really, the notifications are the major benefit I want (and must be waterproof) so I wondered about a hybrid too.

Update

have contacted samsung again. they have informed me that the charger is out of stock, but i should receive one within the month. it would have been so easy to include this information when i received my watch.

Loving the Amazfit so far, want to change the face at the point.

Thumbs up Rossi, good shout

I ordered on 10th August and still got email stating by 28th Sept ..I'm sure its to make sure you are keeping the watch and not just returning and keeping the promotional charger(selling)

On another note my Galaxy watch doesn't like the Gear S3 charger tells me to use provide charger
