Display model at stores - where?

If anyone spots a working to display model, please let us know. I checked best buy and att - nothing so far.

I saw a few working displays today at Samsung store here in Toronto ... I was impressed ... Especially the frontier.. really good looking watch and the display looked even nicer than the one on the gear s2 ( although I'm not sure if that's just because it's larger so it looks nicer to me). Also the watch as whole feels substantial and like it's a quality piece similar to some of my other 'dumb watches' I have a tag and a Tissot. The rotating bezel on the frontier really feels solid and well built as well and rotating it is much more pleasing the the rotating bezel on the gear s2. I was also able to test out the speaker and make a test phone call from the watch as well as stream some music and listen to it right on watches speaker which was cool ...I was a little on fence as to whether or not I would upgrade from my gear s2 but after playing with it today I will definitely be getting a frontier when available ... I tend to like larger watches too so I was immediately drawn to its size .. much more in line with my other watches

Nice! Thank you for the feedback! Waiting to see in the US.

Anyone seen a demo in the US?

FWIW, I went into my local Best Buy mobile store and talked to the employee about the Gear S2 and S3 and he pulled up on his computer and said stores, main stores anyway, will have the S3 available on Friday, Nov 11 and that they would pull one out of the box for me to look at (though uncharged) if no display models are out yet. I don't know that I believe him, but I'm hopefully it was all accurate.

Has anyone seen a display yet? I wonder if there will be a launch delay. Seems odd that no stores have a display yet (USA).

I sure haven't seen one and I go into Best Buy all of the time.

My local best buy said they should have display models tomorrow. I don't put much stock in it though.

I checked with att and best buy today, but nothing so far. They thought later this week. Excited to see this thing, not gonna lie.

I just checked with att again. Still nothing for anyone keeping score.

The 2 AT&T stores that I went to yesterday both had display units now setup. Just FYI.

Local Best Buy in Fort Myers has both the Frontier and Classic on displayed. Played with it for a while, really like it. Smooth and snappy.

Best Buy in Culver City, CA has the classic on display. I think I saw one at the West LA store also. I think the larger S3 display is clearer than the S2 display.

I went to t-mobile Friday to look at one and it turned out the manager was wearing the display. Didn't know if he was doing this to offer honest feedback or he called dibs on it and couldn't wait.
