Correct. (Also, I applied the $150 code when I payed for it, and the system showed that the code was applied to the free gift. The seemed to apply the $150 credit after it shipped in the spirit of "it should have been applied to the watch, not the free gift.)

Last time I checked out that app, it simply gave current altitude or current barometer measurement with a graph--it didn't calculate the change in altitude since the start of an event.

I really wish I could help but don't remember saying anything special--first I ordered the watch while applying the code, then I just called the number I got from the Samsung Store website and said my coupon didn't apply to the watch and the representative talked to someone and said they'd be...

I'm surprised I can't seem to find any app that gives change in vertical feet (useful for various sports, especially skiing). The "Hiking" workout mode tells you these stats at the end of your workout, but you can't display them during the workout. Is there anything I've missed out there that...

I'm impressed with the ability to display maps on the Active 2 from a few sources (Here, Locus, etc.). Unfortunately, the only one I can find that allows you to download maps to the watch itself is "Here WeGo", which turns out to be the worst one for maps of local trails in state and local...

I'm not sure what you mean by "export data manually"? I don't see that option in Samsung Health

The workout tracking in the Active 2 is superb. Only problem is that, while you can view details for each workout in Samsung Health, there doesn't seem to be a way to get any summary data (e.g., time or # of workouts per week). Is there any easy workaround for exporting the data to some...

I called and they applied it for me.

In what sort of situations and for what sort of tasks would you want to be able to use Google Voice (or improved S Voice) on your watch?

Just wondering if anyone has found a way to record a voice memo using the microphone on a connect bluetooth headset? Thx. J

I've also been desperate for this functionality. The best I can suggest is to encourage the developer of the great Android app "Outliner" (which syncs with google tasks), to develop a simple S2 app that at least gives a static view of Google Tasks list (how hard could it be to develop that?)

"Outliner" is a great app for managing different lists and it now can sync with Google Tasks. The developer is very responsive and friendly and he said if there was interest, he'd consider supporting S2. So just encouraging any users of the app to let the developer know that this would be a...

Wall Street Journal articles will "stream" on your watch, meaning one word pops up at a time at a fairly good clip. This evidently came from speed reading training--it's been available on "Instapaper" on Android and it's a pretty interesting way to read. Makes a lot of sense as a quick way...

Just to follow-up, I"ve had 100% success with this app (grocery stores, various libraries). It's actually turned out to be the most useful "external" app so far available...

I'm surprised this isn't the default behavior and more surprisingly there's no menu option "Mark as Read" for a gmail notification (all's you can do is "Archive"). Could someone suggest a workaround? Thx. J
