I got contacted for a focus group next week for Gear Fit, Gear Neo and Gear 2 in LA. Did one of these last year for my original Gear so it looks like Samsung is continuing to listen to owners.
Wanted to pass this along the incentive pays a couple hundred bucks and great way to help things improve.
The guy said I could pass this along and his name is mod edit...names and number removed.

But you can't use the tizen store with the Gear S2.
Guy's and Gals I have made a review video of the Gear S3 Frontier so please check it out if you feel it will be helpful thanks you. Mod Edit
Good review! I'll be picking up the LTE version tomorrow... If my local T-Mobile store has them in stock.. I'm currently using the G Watch R. and am looking forward to never seeing Android Wear on my wrist again.
Excellent review. However, I can not find nowhere any review and real test of a route-tracking using GPS standalone function. Does it work smoothly? Is the track correct on a map?
As from the title visible, I feel cheated by Samsung. I should perhaps state beforehand that the Gear S3 is my first Samsung device (apart from a tablet which my wife uses), so I have not much experience with their practices. I bought the Gear S3 because Samsung in its advertisements made some promises which set the Gear S3 apart from the competition for my opinion: The Gear S3 should come with Spotify support and with an app for Komoot, an outdoor app: http://www.samsung.com/de/galaxy/gear-s3/experience/ The availability of these two apps let me buy the Gear S3.
In the time between the order and the delivery, I read in the news that Spotify was late with its stand alone app (!) for the Gear S3. Well, I understood, that this does not affect me too much, because there would be a phone dependent app for the watch. But there is NOTHING.
Neither is there anything like a Komoot app for the Gear S3. To the contrary, the competent employee of Komoot has stated in that company's forum, that they are not even planning (!) to make an app for the Gear S3! http://support.komoot.de/forums/164264-ideen/suggestions/16250353-samsung-gear-s3-und-koomot
Is there others who feel cheated like I do?

It's a watch goddammit. Not a smartphone. Return it if you're not happy.

Hi, You should contact the Samsung importer for your country, Germany?, and see what they say. If you purchased the watch based on that Samsung advert and Samsung do not honour their sales advert you could and should request a full refund.
Keep us informed how you go.

Send it back and vow never to buy another Samsung product. I'm quite happy with mine.
Yeah that's really strange.
Komoot would be great, and where is the N-TV-App which is also advertised on that Website?
Really strange...

I can see the N-TV App in the Gear App, it downloads, but it fails to install on the S3.
Update: In the meantime it has turned out that Komoot's employee in charge of their forum was badly informed. The Komoot app for the S3 is in fact available and has been available since mid-November. But the app is not yet compatible with non-Samsung phones yet. Komoot has promised to solve this issue soon.
Hi,
Any idea how do I get the Gear VR (+controller I assume) promotion? I don't think I've got any email and of course, nothing was in the package itself (i.e. a leaflet with details...)
Thanks,
Google search samsung promotions or use the Samsung shop app. Then it'll ask for some info that you need to fill out.

Thanks! Just placed my promotion claim. Waiting for confirmation.
