Like most folks, my status still says "shipping date pending" for the S2 watch. I submitted 2 claims, both on 3/10. I don't have fedex delivery manager but signed up for it and now it says I have 2 packages scheduled to be delivered by tomorrow! For each item it says weight is 2.3lbs. Seems a bit heavy, no?

If it is a shipment for the s2 it should be listed at 2.3 pounds....

This has me concerned about what is actually being sent to me... I claimed 2 S2's and received no notice that I would be receiving otherwise but my package is only 2.0lbs.

Nevermind, I guess 2.3lbs is fine. Thanks for the info Eddiechi. Wait, since I'm getting them tomorrow and tomorrow is April Fools day, am I really getting them tomorrow? Or is Samsung/Prizelogic pranking us all? Conspiracy theorists sound off!

As noted in my previous posts on this thread, I'm getting my free S2 from Verizon directly instead of through the third-party promotions administrator, but even directly through Verizon, the S2 was backordered when they initially placed the order for me (I think that was on 3/12). At that time, the e-mail I got from Verizon suggested it should ship by 4/1. I got a notification today from Verizon that it is shipping out today via FedEx overnight, for delivery to me tomorrow by 3 PM. We'll see.

Arrived. It's pretty sweet.

Nice, you got the S2 classic? I guess that's bc you went through the store. I'm pretty sure those of us that ordered online are just getting the regular Gear S2 with the rubber bands.

Time Warner is also my former cable provider that I just severed ties with. I got worried that they were sending me something rather than getting the S2.

jphotoman · Mar 31, 2016

Yes, mine just showed up in FedEx as having a label created and it will be shipped out of Indiana address at 2.3 pounds. Unfortunately it says FedEx SmartPost, which means it may take weeks or go through the regular USPS at some point. Can't wait!

Matt Nacarato · Mar 31, 2016

I just called Prizelogic and they told me i was approved for the Gear S2 and that the status on the site would change when samsung fullfills the order and it is sent out. then it would be a 4-6 week wait from then.........

I think you are probably correct. The band on this one is a pretty standard 20 mm watch band that attaches to the watch body with a simple spring pin, so I'd imagine the band (on this one anyway) is easily changed out to something else. I don't know whether the one with the rubber band is configured the same way.

can't even sign up for fedex delivery manager. All the questions are for some random people

oks10 · Mar 31, 2016

Is anybody else showing a weight of 2.0 lbs?... I'm really starting to get paranoid that either they're not sending me the right thing or they're only sending 1 even though my claim is for 2...

eddiechi · Mar 31, 2016

Scheduled delivery:
Thu 3/31/2016 by end of day

Fedex always shows up here between 2-4pm..... although nothing on the tracking number has been updated yet besides "label created" on 3/30/2016 at 845pm

I have 3 claims submitted but at 2.3lbs only think this is for 1 coming today

Submitted for S2 on 3/16 and just had the below pop up in the FedEx Delivery Manager. I guess these things are shipping from all over... My claim status still says shipping date pending. I have to admit, I'm super excited because I had prepared myself for having to wait several more weeks. I just logged into FedEx for the heck of it today just in the off chance there was something. It actually didn't show up at first because it's shipping under my wife's name (she's the account holder so we get a state employee discount) and I hadn't added her to the alternate names yet. Shipping label was created this morning.

As noted before, this whole process is pretty much a cluster. I submitted for S2 on 3/11 and I'm in Topeka, KS - and have nothing coming still

Enjoy yours!

I have the Gear S2 classic. You just need to order 20mm pins and any band you like. I ended up picking up a leather NATO strap for $15 on Amazon. It's now just $12. I've received a ton of compliments on the band. The heart rate sensor doesn't work with it, but I wasn't using anyway. It's a fantastic watch. So good. I had the regular model, but wanted the flexibility of being able to add bands.

Christopher Meinck · Mar 31, 2016

As for the free Gear VR promo, I submitted on the 18th. It's showing as approved, pending shipment.

looks like they are being shipped from 2 separate locations right now Indiana and Kansas -------- Harte Hanks is another marketing company they use, but I doubt you will get both submissions on same delivery.... esp if they were registered on separate days.

I'm real curious to see if they ship the 3G or BT version

Mine were claimed at the same time, so I'm really hoping they didn't lump it into a single claim...
