Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

Still no movement for me today! Nothing in FDM, Status is still pending...etc.

My status is still pending as well... Even though I received them (wrong items) on the 16th... I'm not sure if the status page is just THAT off or if the first package that came to me wasn't actually "my gift"...
 
Yesterday :-) it was due to be delivered tomorrow and it is going to be here today instead. I'm in PA too btw
 
Hey guys, I think we have proven the old saying "Misery loves company". 5 out of 6 of the "Top Liked" from the member shoutout section at the top of the page are on this thread.
 
I'm 5'9 & built like a middle-aged lumberjack (in a dress, of course), but....I tried them on at BestBuy months ago. I don't think I will have a problem, but lots of people have said the bands made their wrists hot due to the material. I just ordered an adapter that will let me use regular watch bands...not sure if that will help on small wrists, tho'. Stainless Steel Watche Band Strap Connector Adapter for Samsung Gear S2 RM 720 | eBay

Woah you found the adapter on ebay? Neat. Which one did you opt for?

Thank you maybe I will try it.
 
I just filled out the BBB Complaint against Samsung, I guess I should fill one out against Prizelogic and Brightpoint. I won't fill one out against Verizon because I wrote a complaint to their executive offices and they called me back and offered to send me the watches and stupid me said no because I had tracking information at that point and thought it would be wrong to do that.

Prizelogic sent me a return shipping label to return the (2) watches that I think may have opened and played with by Brightpoint. I was not going to send them back because I did not want to wait at least another month after waiting over 3 months. But since mine is not comfortable for me anyway and I am not wearing it, I will send mine back for them to replace it. This way I will get a brand new one and if I decide not to wear it I can give it away or sell it.
 
OMG! OMG! FDM shows a pkg to MEEEE from Brightpoint with a label created!! Please, please let it graduate to an actual shipment & arrive on my doorstep. Why, oh Why did I not file a BBB complaint weeks ago when I considered it? I am convinced that this is in response to the BBB filings. Either way....it's potentially almost over!!!! WooHoooo!

THis music has me in the mood to dance! CELEBRATE!

I did not order the band, just the 'connector'. I actually ordered 2...a silver and a black. It was $13 and free shipping, so I'm not out much if they are cheap and break. Samsung's was going to be $45 by the time I paid for VAT & shipping, so I figured a knockoff from China was my option.

Good call. I have the connector in my cart right now, as well as a band and a screen protector, but I am hesitant to check out until I know a watch is on it's way.

I'm wondering if this watch band will integrate nicely with the band adapters

Any thoughts people of the forum?

Check it out.... http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-gear-s2/658930-gear-s2-sport-strap-adapter.html

oops, I mean here: They show that band & it looks nice! http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-gear-s2/688727-gear-s2-owners-show-your-straps.html
 
Certainly, I think I'll order then. Hopefully by the time the adapter and band come from overseas, I'll have the darn watch. But who knows :-) Thank you for the links. Congrats on the shipping info btw.
 
My wait is finally over. 3/9 submitted 6/24 received.
How do you make the personal watch faces?
 
So prizelogic said this to me... still no update...

"Hi Adam, we wanted to follow up as we received an update from the shipping company. They confirmed they are to receive new S2 watches today at 5PM PT. In addition, we hope to have this processed for you in the next few days."

This was said Wed 6/22
