Has to be a pricing error. I was looking at it last week and it was available at that price if you were buying a new S6 on a two year plan.

Good spot if it goes through though. I'm tempted myself !!

Captain Flaps

Looking for one of these for the missus so I'll be the guinea pig!

Standard Toaster

Runs Tizen mobile OS, and not Google Wear. Just keep that in mind as apps might be limited.

Not a pricing error, showing as a promo offer on their accessories page. See attached. Good price but limited functionality.

Captain Flaps

Knew that already, I argued against it but she has samsung everything else and at that price I won't be too upset if she decides she wants to trade in 6 months from now for something else. €350 was harder to swallow!

I've ordered it in any case so we'll see how we go.

Captain Flaps

Update: order screen blanked out at the 'thank you' page and Vodafone can't confirm if the order was placed or not... have to check my statement!

I was worried it was pricing issue but just received dispatch email today.

TitianGerm

Not sure whether to pull the trigger on this or wait for a price drop on the Moto 360 2

Same happened to me, went back and it said payment wasn't processed so ordered again and got the email and all. There is a 14 day cooling off period with everything in Vodafone it says but that could just be contracts. Will have to check my statement too though I reckon just in case.

Ok great, might just re-order. How long did it take to ship once you'd ordered? When's the expected delivery date?

I ordered mine on Thursday - dispatched today

Captain Flaps

Hmm, that's a bit slower than I'd like. Any indication when it might arrive?

Edit: reordered using a different browser and all went through fine, have confirmation and receipts etc.

OP, THANK YOU. I found it for 330 on DID.ie and even though I swore I'd never use them again I clicked into this forum just to check for any DID promos and lo and behold, your post is at the top of Bargain Alerts. You've just saved me well over a hundred quid on my christmas shopping.

Captain Flaps

Update 2: went to track my order and found a second watch on my account. Rang vodafone and they don't seem to be too sure how many I'll receive, but I won't be charged unless I sign for them? In any case it looks like I'll be returning a smartwatch :P

Ah balls, better get onto them myself.

I'm powerless to resist this, I don't even need/want one but I ordered. Thanks op

Go to the confirmation mail you received and track your order using the order number there and the link they provide. If you don't have 2 completed payments you're probably ok.

boardbro

For me it says We're sorry, but we're unable to complete your request

the kelt

Thats serious value, just bought one, i was contemplating spending €200 on a product thats inferior to this one.

Great value

Stallingrad

Tempting but I've read too much about serious connection problems with that device, I'll wait to see how the early adopters get on.

wong

How is this so reduced?

Ordered anyway!

elmicko

Was going to pull the trigger but it's now showing as out of stock - was a great price.

Captain Flaps

My order(s) still say payment processing, hoping to **** mine went through...

Dalmighty

Anyone know how the sony smart band compares to the gear S2?Anyone think these will drop further in jan?

i was in the square today literally 40mins after it was posted and ran up , they said it must be online only and they dont stock them instore anyway,so i guess it wasnt.

simdan

It's been that price for at least a week now. It's the basic rubber looking smooth version. I'd have bought it if it was the premium looking one.

I much prefer the look of the 'standard' one myself, and it's the one my missus specifically expressed interest in. It's still a full third off the price that anywhere else was selling it for. Best bargain of the year for me.

Also, my order updated to 'preparing to dispatch' so happy days. One of the lads in the office mentioned in passing that he was going shopping for one later so he's now taking the second one off me, he's also dead chuffed with the saving!

Edit: both shipped. Happy days.

wong

Vodafone has shipped my order very quickly. Should have it today. Great bargain considering how much everywhere else are selling it for...

MJ434

If anyone has one that they don't want ,I'll buy it off them..

Captain Flaps

Yeah, I seriously don't know what they were smoking with that price, could have upped that by 100 and they'd still be the best anywhere. Expecting 2 but if the guy in work backs out for any reason I'll drop you a PM.

wong

I remember seeing the deal on the luas where the gear s2 was 200 but only if you got the new samsung s6 on billpay.

I seriously think it might be an error on their website...

Captain Flaps

When I rang vodafone after my ordering issues they seemed surprised that I wasn't a vodafone account holder but I've 2 separate shipping confirmations so whether it was a mistake or not they seem to be honouring them...

e92335i

Recieved mine yesterday.

I didn't put in any vodafone account details.

wong

Thoughts on it so far?

Its not an error.

Captain Flaps

No sign of mine yet. Folks who got them, when did you order? Obviously Monday but what kind of times?

jamesozzie

I ordered mine on Monday also, stil waiting for delivery (to Limerick). Their online tracking system says it was dispatched on Tuesday...fingers crossed it arrives today

Captain Flaps

T'would be nice to have any form of tracking at all given the value of the order...

jones

Dam missed this i was only looking at this online a few weeks ago but the price put me off...would definitely of been worth it at 199.

Stallingrad

Would be interested to have who owners are getting on, particularly in relation to phone connectivity.

Palane

Hi. I ordered mine online from Vodafone website on Saturday morning. It arrived by registered post on Tuesday morning. I am a eir customer and I was not asked anything about being a Vodafone customer. So far so good. Bought this to replace my garmin forerunner 15. I have had no connectivity issues. The only negative so far is when I am pushing my buggy the steps don't log.

Graham

Looks like this might be back in stock if anyone's still interested. Got as far as adding it to the basked/check-out stage anyway.

The "below cost" value of the order? I'd say you were lucky to get the deal.. It will arrive soon

Relative cost is one thing but I'm a bit uncomfortable with €400 worth of smartwatches being shipped by normal post with no tracking number provided... call me crazy!

Also the only reason for the impatience is that I'm finishing up in work today so if it doesn't arrive before the weekend I'll have to drive back up to collect.

jones

Picked it up last night great deal i have to say. Love the watch i haven't messed around with it enough yet but it synced perfectly with my s6 edge (which it should ha)

Captain Flaps

Fairly unhappy with Vodafone at this point. They think both watches may have been delivered but only have partial tracking numbers, don't have a department who handles this and can't tell me anything concrete. I've been passed from department to department and getting fairly fed up now. Really poor experience with this purchase so far.

jamesozzie

When did you order yours Jones? I am stil waiting since Monday. It was dispatched on Tuesday. Maybe I am just being impatient!

Captain Flaps

Interesting hearing you haven't gotten yours either, maybe they're still out there in An Post land somewhere?

I went into the store in Blanchardstown and the chap i was talking to said he'd 2 left at the time (yesterday) and that the €199 was actually a mistake it was a leftover from black friday and only if you were getting a new S6/Edge at same time.

I said i wasn't interested in it at €350 so he went into the back to see what he could do and came out with the Gear 2. He had to scan as if i was buying a new S6 (i ironically have the S6 edge but its sim free not with vodafone) so after about 15 minutes he managed to get it down to the 199 price and edited the receipt to take off the pretend S6 used for the system. In the middle of this the store manager (i assume) came over and made a call to head office saying something about an online price issue that needed to be taken down sounded like they were aware of it but they still honoured my purchase which i'm delighted about and big shout out to the bloke who served me in Blanch.
