    Showing out of stock for me? Anyone else able to see stock?

    Op hinted that you need to keep on checking as stock comes and goes.

    Looks great but..
    The Samsung Gear S2 battery is quite small at just 250 mAh, but Samsung's claims of two-day battery life are well justified. With an occasional Wi-Fi connection, I got 33 hours out of the S2 before it died. With Bluetooth only I could go anywhere from 36-40 hours (with my regular disconnections I even made 48 hours).
    I love the idea of smartwatches but battery is the killer for me... I've a very dated Pebble Time but once every 8 - 10 days is the only thing that keeps me from picking up something more modern.

    Try the Xiaomi Amazfit or Amazfit BIP? Have a look anyway, it might suit you.

    I have the same attitude, and currently use a smart watch that lasts a week.

    It's £99, though....

    Yeah, the sale ended at 9am yesterday. I kept tabs over the weekend, and none of the watches came back in stock, after coming in and out of stock on Friday. Mine arrived last night, think I was very lucky to get in there.....stock must have been very limited.

    The S2 was 199 euro a year ago in Vodafone. I think the 99 pounds is the max anyone should pay 12 months on

    Showing as £199 on the website now, is this likely to change back to £99 at some stage? I'd be interested at £99 but definately not at £199.

    +1, Can I ask the OP if they had been monitoring the site and if so for long?

    I saw someone tweet on Friday morning that Samsung had a sale and the S2 was reduced, then someone replied that it was out of stock. I didn't even bother looking until the afternoon, and flicked though the different models and all were showing out of stock. Did a refresh on the page a couple of times and just one model showed in stock, so I placed the order. Posted the deal on here straight after.

    I didn't want to post the deal if it wasn't available, but I guess I was lucky to get one in the first place.

    Thought there might be some deals on S2 for Black Friday. This is the best I can find;

    Any advice?

    Silly question but would this work with a non Samsung phone (Huawei)?

    That seems to be in the USA.
