    Looking at it myself and looking at all the reviews at the launch today

    Going to wait for more reviews before thinking about buying.

    Also will see about price when it hits retail Aug 27th I believe.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Can't see the prices going down for another while

    Best bet might be wait a few months and try gomibo.ie

    Pre ordered mine, not the cheapest thing (€379) but get an €85 credit card as a pre order bonus

    Have a look if you got an email from Samsung with a 10% discount code because it stacks with any others!


    Trading in a Watch Active2 and the new Watch 44mm can be had for only €150!


    Worth it for Google Pay alone imo



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,453 ✭✭✭sioda


    I have the 40mm version and it's not on the trade in as a model so only the generic 50 quid off. We are getting screwed as usual OH lives in the US traded same watch as mine for 99 dollars new watch 4 and double charger



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    From looking at YouTube the Tizen software is still very much part of the main software on the watch

    Apps such as Samsung health heavily tizen than Google. They reckon in time the Google fitness apps will be available on the watch

    I have a One 4 all voucher so might use this thus retail prices

    It doesn't have Google assistant so that's strange

    Wonder if pixel watch will come out later in the year



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,792 ✭✭✭bromley52


    Does anyone know if the Italian version of the watch can be used in Ireland or if it's possible to change region?



  • Registered Users Posts: 631 ✭✭✭return guide


    I have been a long time Samsung advocate - Note 9,8, laptop, Buds etc - have a Samsung watch from Christmas 2019 and now its stuck in rebooting mode since Thursday. (common fault that will probably have to go back to Samsung but will have to fight for a warranty repair)

    All Samsung device I have owned seen to last 18 - 24 months while my wife has Apple devices that are 3-4 years old.

    I Have never been a fan of Apple but thinking of changing after this.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    My active watch brock a few weeks ago. Screen started becoming pixelated and then went off and wont come back on. Phones can still pick up my watch but cant connect

    Samsung said i can sent it back to them and they take a look at it but because its out of warranty they will have to charge me for the repair. Nah might as well just wait for the new range instead. Still annoying though that my watch just stopped functioning out of nowhere

    I would never go back to Apple and for the immediate future il stick to Samsung



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,042 ✭✭✭kaizersoze


    My experience with the Samsung wearables is the region on the device is based on the region of the phone it's paired with.

    plenty of reports on reddit of UK and European countries already receiving their GW4&Classics

    anyone ordered here and received already?



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,648 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Not yet. Probably trying to get phone orders out the door first. Hard to judge with Samsung Ireland's distributors sometimes. Could even be down to different models being more readily shippable.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,520 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    I ordered mine on the day of the pre sale and no sign of it.Think it's down for shipping on the 26th.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Same, says delivery from the 26th August

    I did get my S21 Ultra earlier than expected



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,842 ✭✭✭Julez


    Same as me, I won't be home on Thursday and Friday, so hoping it'll arrive at least by Wednesday. I've never ordered direct from Samsung, so not sure what to expect. Harvey Norman were showing as pre-order, but also as "Available Today" for in store pickup on most stores, but I went down and they wouldn't sell it. They have them in stock but have to wait till the 27th.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Ordered my S21 Ultra and Triple Wireless charger from them and delivery was very fast

    Id be delighted to have my Watch by Thursday 26th Aug but is what it is and id be confident Ill have it Friday evening latest

    I imagine the normal Samsung Adaptive fast charging plug will be efficient in charging the new series. 90% of the time ill be using wireless charging but handy to have the plugs to charge when you're away or want a faster charge



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,520 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Got email this morning to say my order has shipped.


    Doesn't show where it shipped.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭griffdaddy


    Where is the cheapest place to get these without a trade in? There's some many offers ongoing it's hard to see what the best one available to Ireland is. I have a Huawei Watch 2 but don't think that's eligible



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,648 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Aye...same here. Probably picked up UPS later this evening for delivery the next day.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,520 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Probably have it on 26th which I think was the date that was mentioned for it's release.

  • Registered Users Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes

  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009

    Bloody irritating esp ordering it the day it was launched 11th August



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭BArra


    yea didnt get any further change, i did email them this morning who said it would dispatch today and deliver tommorow but thats clearly not gonna happen now



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭bennyx_o


    Got a shipping email for my watch just there as did a friend who ordered just after the event



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,520 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Mine just arrived,in midlands .


    Was rushing out the door so didn't even get a chance to take a look at it.


    Also got the trade in email from Samsung this morning.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,770 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Got the tracking email

    Excited to get my hands on the watch
