Got one!

Looks like our local stores each got one to sell today. Managed to snag one after work.

Got one too from T-Mobile. If anyone cares, it's very big...I have a 7-inch wrist and it looks kinda goofy. Like Mission big...and the software is identical to the S2 (in case you were expecting an overhauled design). Has a 22mm band (replaceable). I have a Pixel so not sure how MST/Samsung Pay will work but will see over the weekend.

Also the charging dock appears to be the same as the S2, so get them on sale before the price goes back up!

I believe they are different sizes. Someone with both want to confirm this?

It's pretty sad and pathetic that T-Mobile has it and AT&T doesn't

You may be right, I was just eyeballing it.

Thought the S3 charger is faster too.

This whole launch has been strange. I went into Best Buy yesterday and asked the Samsung dude when they would be for sale. "We have no idea" is what he told me.

Walked into a T-Mo store 2 hrs ago and bought one.

Disconnect exists somewhere. Samsung's own website says "pre-register." Ok. Typical Samsung I guess.

How does the calling work when disconnected from your phone?

I just called the AT&T store and the guy told me they don't have any for sale right now. He said all they have right now are a bunch of demos. I asked when the Gear S3 would be available and he said he didn't know. What baffles me is that AT&T was the first to announce that they would be selling the Gear S3 and yet T-Mobile is the first one to have them. I don't even know why they bother announcing when they'll have it on a certain date when that's not the case.

Samsung launches are a joke. I did get one here today from a corp store. Funny, earlier today they told me not stores have them.

That's pretty awesome, OP! Congratulations, and enjoy!

Look at my pic. I got mine from AT&T.

Just picked up mine from at&t. They only had one and only the supply person new they had it. Just hooked it up to my lg v20. Everything seems to work as advertised. I do use the at&t service called numbersync so it does receive calls and texts from my lg v20's phone number.

Same setup here. I had no issues with connecting the v20. Numbersync set up was a breeze. Was getting Google traffic alerts and text messages on my watch while driving home.

I picked one up from tmo today as well. Running it on a pixel XL. Really liking it so far and enjoying the larger size. Hoping the advanced exercise and alti/baro features work well.

Hmm....that's strange because the guy who answered the phone told me they didn't have any. He said all they had were demos.

I walked into my Best Buy this morning, they had 5. I got 2 of them.

I just got an email from Best Buy apologizing for my pre-order delay and they sent me a $20 gift code.

I am just going to return the ones coming in the mail and use the gift code, so I guess it all worked out.

I honestly didn't expect to even see a demo. I had planned to just stop and order through the local store. The rep told me that she received one for demo and another for sale but someone had already bought it. So she looked in the system and found 3 other stores nearby each showing 1 available. When I arrived at the second store they had just put out the demo and didn't think they had another but the guy found it somewhere in the back.

Was it the Frontier or Classic or both?

Got mine at T-Mobile today as well. With the Magenta Day promo I pay zero per month for the service on the watch. When I have it BT connected it's connected to my at&t s7 Active.
