I am really liking mine. its so handy at work being able to read txts emails etc or see whos calling even when im in a meeting. It then lets me decide if its important enough to excuse myself.

I love how it still forwards alerts to watch if out of bluetooth range as long as your on the same wifi.

I didnt think i would use the phonecall feature but its actually quite handy if your hands are full. if i'm up ladders or in a network cabinet at work this is really useful as stops me having to balance my phone between ear and shoulder and risk dropping it. people have also commented just how clear it sounds.

The step counter is good although my phone normal picks this up anyway. I havent done to much gps running with it. 1 its winter and to cold to motivate myself to go running and just got a puppy so doing walks instead and not to bothered how far/quick i have done them.

The battery life is really good. i tried it with the always on display and got 3 full days and still had about 30% left. i have now turned that off along with the rise to wake feature as i found it a bit to sensitive and think i could easily manage 5 days. i will admit im not a heavy phone user though so some people may get a bit less.

I just wish i was good at design so i could make a nice face for it. the samsung face maker program seems really good i just like the crativity and skill. I made 1 and added the complications for heart rate and steps they dont seem to live update though? are they meant to? or are they just suppose to be a shortcut button? when i first applied the face it did seem to pull them down.

Well I'm glad it's working well for Samsung owners at least, maybe in a year or so they'll have figure out how to pair with the iphone

Anywhere on the high street selling these? Want to see one in the flesh and check it's actual size. Can't see them listed on currys and the like?

Doesn't seem so.

Saw one in John Lewis.I don't think it looks too big but it is a bulky watch.I preferred the size of the s2 classic.Debating whether to get this or the s2.Both lovely watches but the s2 is alot cheaper (and I prefer the size of it). Samsung have said they will continue to support it with software updates so think the s2 is still a viable device

Yes that was my thinking regarding it's size.

Anyone using a screen protector for this, I've ordered one from eBay.
Just ordered a Frontier, not sure if I need a protector but thought its better to be safe than not.
