    Which non-Samsung smartwatch is your favorite?

    If there is a rose gold Gear S2 Classic with cellular capability, I have never seen one for sale from AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon. All I see for sale, even from Samsung, is a bluetooth version, which I have no use for. I could never go back to using a watch without the 3G/4G/LTE connectivity! :)

    Which non-Samsung smartwatch is your favorite?

    The rose gold Gear S2 Classic looks nice. I have not seen a 3G/4G cellular version of it anywhere, only bluetooth. If it were ever available with the cellular connection, I would get my wife one. It would certainly look nicer than the black. :)

    Which non-Samsung smartwatch is your favorite?

    Have you looked on Swappa? I see a regular Gear S2 and three Gear S2 Classic watches listed right now that are for TMO. One of the Gear S2 Classic watches is brand new and only selling for $190. I bought a mint condition Gear S2 Classic from Swappa last summer and it has been great. I have a...

    Security

    My watch will lock after being stationary for more than 10 minutes. If I take a nap or wear the watch to bed, it always locks after about 10 minutes of being still. This is good so that the screen buttons cannot be activated while moving around while sleeping. Typing the pin lock code is a fair...

    Why are none available?

    Same here. On bluetooth, I can go more than 4 days non stop without charging. When the watch switches to standalone and turns on the LTE when out of bluetooth range, it has only been using about 2-4% of the battery per hour. The added LTE radio has not made the watch heavier that I can notice...

    Standalone Mode

    Which do you have turned on, call forwarding or NumberSync? You cannot have both active at the same time, nor would you want to, as NumberSync is the best option as calls to your phone will ring to your watch simultaneously and even when your phone is not nearby or turned off (AT&T users). On...

    Samsung pay on watch

    I have used my Gear S3 Frontier several times thus far and have been impressed with how much faster it works than when I used it on the Note 5 and Note 7. No shocked looking people, though I was always using it on my Note at the same places before. I will seek out new places to try it out at.

    S3 Frontier issues

    Are you guys getting actual scratches or is it just some residue that is looking like a scratch? I had a few spots that looked like a scratch on the bezel of my Gear S3 Frontier, but after wiping it with a damp cloth, whatever it was that looked like a few scratches disappeared. When I have...

    LTE edition battery sucks?

    I have experienced similar battery discharge rates. On bluetooth only and the LTE set to auto and AOD off, I am getting a discharge rate of 1-1.5% per hour. With bluetooth and AOD both on, it has been 2-2.5%. With bluetooth off and LTE on and operating in stand alone mode, it has been...

    LTE version questions

    From an activation standpoint, for certain. As to whether or not you can use an AT&T Gear S3 watch on T-Mobile (or vice versa), I do not know. I have not seen confirmation anywhere to know if the carrier specific watch is locked to that network and whether or not the watch can be unlocked to...

    LTE version questions

    Yes, you can cancel service if you buy the Gear S3 without contract. The watch works the same except it will not be able to work as a stand alone device for making phone calls and Internet access unless bluetooth connected to a phone or WiFi. To me, the extra few bucks a month is worth having...

    Cross carrier

    Yes, it will work to sync on bluetooth between the watch and phone. The Gear S3 will also be able to connect remotely to your Note 5 and receive forwarded calls if you set up service for the Gear S3 with AT&T. I did this previously with a Note 5 on T-Mobile and a Gear S2 Classic watch on AT&T. I...

    Wear at night

    Use the screen lock. If using Samsung Pay on the watch, it already requires a screen lock. If you are still (sleeping) for a period of time or you take the watch off, the screen lock PIN entry screen comes on if you were to touch the screen or bezel, so the watch will not access any apps and use...

    AT&T Preorder Shipping Status?

    Mine was shipped from AT&T's warehouse in Fort Worth, TX and I live South of Houston, so even if it were shipped by FedEx or UPS Ground it would still arrive the next business day. If they shipped yours via UPS Ground, that is fine if it will still deliver Monday.

    Got one!

    The below link will give you a good idea on how the Gear S2 and S3 compare. The bigger size, bigger battery, and MST for Samsung Pay were the few items that made me interested in getting the Gear S3 Frontier. I have the Gear S2 Classic that I really like, which I will just use as a spare...

    AT&T Preorder Shipping Status?

    My card was charged initially back on 11-4 when I pre-ordered, which then dropped off a few days later. My Gear 3 shipped out on Friday, but I have not been charged again either.

    AT&T Preorder Shipping Status?

    I would say just refuse the delivery, but since AT&T seems to never require a signature for delivery, you would need to be home at the time or just leave a note for FedEx with the tracking number and instructions to return to AT&T. I was about to go pick one up at my local AT&T store until I...

    I pre-ordered from AT&T on 11-4, the first day they started taking orders.

    Did I get a returned and or opened Pixel XL?

    The Pixel XL I ordered from Verizon did not have any seals on the outer box. No reason to believe it was anything other than brand new. I kinda liked the design of the box.
