    Have you tried the BBB method described in this forum? It has shown to produce tangible results unlike the customer support options.

    A nice dignified death to the thread would be a good thing, but with how this promotion has gone it does seem like the thread will bang on the lid of the coffin quite a few times during the funeral.....

    Don't get your hopes up too much on the Samsung Promotions information page. As often as not if it says its on route it isn't "actually" so, but simply slated to be so. Then you'll get the watch, a day or so later the information page will update with a FedEx tracker for a package already...

    This is a good point. I also hadn't noticed the watch on the avatar until you mentioned it. I called one of my peers with the watch and the looks on his face was pretty good. Amazing Spy Watches...finally here.

    *Almost didn't recognize you with the new Barbie Avatar* I am using the stock small band. Eventually I'll get the upgraded band. I like the watch enough to know that when the S3 comes out I will get it. Probably the "classic" version too. The fitness, message ability, and the fact I don't need...

    Which is funny (to me) because I am a big man with rather large wrists and the band barely fits. (2nd notch to end is tight, 1st notch is comfy) But on the flip side it does fit comfortably on my wrist....size/weight wise....because I'm a big guy. So....I'll be thankful. No Whine, No...

    I decided not to activate my cellular on my watch, my main purpose for the watch is to preread messages and the like, I need the screen on my phone too much to really "ditch it" And given the battery on the watch isn't stellar....I do wonder what the call time on it would be anyway. Still, the...

    I suspect there are two reasons. 1. A lot of people are finally getting their watches, and have no reason to really be active on the forum anymore. 2. A lot of people had this forum as part of their workday routine, on the weekends people often are not on their Computers or if they are, their...

    I am enjoying mine, though I have to admit the watch is a bit sassy if you don't get up and move around every once in a while. Virtual Pizza Party? Still here and rooting for you Aushoj.

    That's basically what I am doing as well. I think I will probably just use it as a Bluetooth. I won't really utilize it away from my phone except as a watch. I mostly want it so I don't need to access my phone in certain situations, and of course check the time.

    I got the sm-r730v dark grey, appears to be the 3G model. Guess I may need to go and activate it. Was only expecting the Bluetooth model. The SM-R720 appears to be the Bluetooth only model from my very basic research.

    Let's assume that 100 people are in this thread representing that 1%. Given the information on the Google Doc approximately 30 people have received their items. Lets be kind and give them 40% "item delivered" percentage. They claim the 35000 watches were claimed in a week. Let's assume that in...

    Thanks for the Google Doc Link, It's handy to see data in that format. That said 87 people from one thread? Lord only knows how many people this is effecting. Repasting Link. Otherwise people have to dig. Thank you JJenkins2005 I assume...
