$25 New Gear S on E-Bay

[rosenr9286t]

Just bought a new (as listed) GSM Gear S described as new but with an aftermarket charging device. They've sold 71 and have 10 or more for sale, according to the listing. Says it will be delivered in the next 4-6 days, so we shall see what I get. I've wanted to try one of these, and at this price, could not resist. Could be a typo in the listing, but my PayPal was charged only $25.

Looks like the items have been removed from E-Bay, so, per usual, "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". If I don't hear anything by the end of day today, I'll contact PayPal for a refund.

No, obvious scam. Weird though - got tracking info, but followed it through from China to delivery in New York, instead of to me in CA. Filed with E-Bay and got my $25 back, no problem. Went to AT&T and got a Gear S for $99 and a $10/month data plan. Loving the S.

Bummer. What do you enjoy about it?

Have a Gear 2 Neo. My main use is for both the Neo and the S is for notifications. At some point I'll try out the independent calling.

I like the S for the larger screen, keyboard, and the comfort. It seems to sit lower than the Neo. Battery life is more than adequate, and I know I'm not using even close to all of the features that I'll eventually find valuable.
