I agree with you, £299 would be better. Not sure how much the Bluetooth headset is worth.
I can't work out if this is Bluetooth/wifi only or if this is the model that you can put a SIM card in.
I want the Frontier purely for the rubber strap.
Not sure if you can get the rubber strap on the classic as well, I like the silver finish on the Classic.
I understand any standard 22mm strap can now be used.

Thanks that's useful. I have ordered the Classic with black leather strap. Thanks
Just ordered now and no mention in my email or order tracking about the earphones so wondering if I'm too late?
I ordered as soon as the offer was received via e-mail and got no confirmation in relation to the headset, I just presumed I was one of the first 1,000. You've got me wondering now.
Only the LTE version can take a sim, I don't see the LTE option in the pre-order offer.
It's all a bit confusing.
Same here I ordered the Frontier but more as I prefer the style and strap, but could find no information on how the LTE Frontier works, recall in the US with the S2 eSIM you had to take out another SIM contract.
I got no confirmation of the headset
I have just ordered the Classic and when I go to the Order tracking page, I see 'Samsung Level Active Running Earphones (FOC) (Black)' is included.
I would prefer to order it with another strap, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this, I would really like the 'Carbon Pattern Leather Khaki' strap (1st choice), or the 'Tuscany Dark Brown' (2nd choice), but I can't even see these on the UK site, only on the USA site. Do you know if it's possible to get these in the UK?
Good spot. Heat
As a gear S2 actual user (not a 2 day user on a youtube sponsored vid) , would you recommend the gear line as a daily replacement for regular analog watch user?
Appreciate your opinion
Thanks - I've just placed a second order (checked that I still get the earphones) and then cancelled the first order :-)
Flattered. Hmm ... I've owned all the Gear watches upto the S2 (just sold) and git my wife a Gear Fit 2. Prior to that I loved my analog watches, but pretty immediately loved the smartwatch thing.
I personally find smart watches so convenient in terms of the glance type function as opposed to endlessly checking your phone in and out of your pocket.
I bought my sister and Apple watch i find that overcomplicated and the battery is dire.
I find the Samsung has the right basic balance of notifications without overburdened apps trying the mirror everything on your phone. I think Samsung would do the same but frankly beyond basic apps the app store is crap.
The clincher for me is battery life, I could easily get 4 days 5 really publishing it by using my watch 12 - 14 hrs a day then switch off when at home (night time), but then they added the sleep monitor back and I wore it 24/7.
My advice buy from Samsung direct, try it you may find you love it or its pointless if so just return within 14 days for a full refund, state on the return slip change of mind.
Edit: Also quidco now at 3%
Notices these are now showing as out of stock with no expected delivery dates either
Showing as discontinued ??
Also the watch itself is showing as out of stock too
Mine is showing as discontinued too, the headphones aren't but the watch is
Mine still says 'Not Processed', 'Your order will be processed soon. Our order processing team work 8am - 6pm weekdays.'
Ah I see - yes, mine is the same.
They also said that the straps shown on the USA website (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s3/design/) aren't available in the UK and the person I spoke with didn't know if/when they would be available here.
The description page says charge your watch wireless but doesn't mention it's optional but when ordering there was an option to buy the wireless charger separately
Yes It looked to be the same style as the s2
