Exactly what I'm excited about - running, etc. - no stinking phone in my cheezy waste pack.

haha I said "waste" - at least I'm hopeful it will be waste once the watch is here.
How far do you normally run?!

Between 4 and 7 miles with a long run on the weekends. What about you? My husband and I were training for a 1/2 through the fall and winter, but I'm going to scale it back now if I can. I started low carbs a week ago to drop some weight, so I think I'm going to shift over to HIIT 3x/wk. + lifting for a while. But I won't have to pouch my phone lifting, either!
So, just to clarify, the S2 version we are getting is the 3G version, correct?
So, like many of you, I have the dreaded "Submission approved/shipping status: Pending" message. I have reached out to the folks handling this through their "Contact Us" link and only received a canned response:

I sent them back another email asking for a 'real' reply and have heard nothing. Does anyone have a phone number or some other way to actually contact anyone over there to see if there's any update on when these things (S2 in my case) will be getting shipped out?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a date no email and a tracking number. It was supposed to be delivered last Friday and wasn't.

To be fair, their website does say the estimated ship date is 4/8/16.
The pouch sucks but I hated an arm band. I did Hiit and strength all winter. Started up my half training again. I'm hoping this watch will measure up to my Garmin.

True that on the pouch > arm band. The arm band is distracting!
Which Garmin do you use? I have a Forerunner 630 and I'm kind of addicted to the data - vertical oscillation, cadence, training effect, etc. all during the workout. I think I might replace it for steps counted during the day, but during a run, I'm pretty sure I'll just wear both. The data seems somewhat useless really, but it has helped me improve my running, I think. e.g., I notice my vert. oscillation gets higher when I'm labored and if I stop pumping so hard, I can be more efficient and maintain the same pace with less effort.
As an aside, I read this book - Running through the Ages - that was awesome motivation for my longer runs. It's a lot of info presented in an engaging way, but the look at the history of running just made running longer distances seem so natural and doable. Before, I'd always focused on 5 miles and under and the book helped me realize that we're as built to go the distance as we are built to breathe. So it was cool if you're into that sort of thing.
I have a vivoactive right now. As I'm upping my distance I've been looking into different ones. More specifically the Fenix 3. I use my vivoactive all day activity plus workouts. I can get a full battery with more left over in 8 miles but I don't think it'd make it at a half.
