I received email this afternoon from Samsung item on the way which is only charger, then checked status in my account and said for the watch order placed and charger on the way and checked track and trace and charger has been picked up so will probably receive tomorrow. So not looking good for watch delivery and if your date 15th Sept is correct means probably wont get until next Monday and will just have to bear the wait and will never ever ring Samsung as customer service there is horrendous i think in Canada.Did read somewhere today somebody trying to order online or in shop in UK and apparently sold out there.

 

It's getting delivered to the store so hopefully that means Saturday courier delivery but as we all know anything could happen.  I will pop in today and ask them why they assured it would be there before they had my money and then a few short hours after they had my money they said it would be delayed.

I think if a better launch offer pops up I will feel morally ok with cancelling and getting the other deal.  I have checked the web sites of the four retailers this morning and there isn't a mention of any but maybe they haven't updated their web sites yet.

I just hope I like Tizen or this will all be a $550 waste of time.  My experience with the S8+ (first Samsung since the Note 2) and the Note 9 has been very positive.  Gear VR beats the pants off Google Daydream so I am hoping that Tizen is more well thought out than Android Ware where they are trying to jam a whole phone OS into watch sized ram and CPU.  I also hope to get away from the battery drain that I have always had since getting the Android Wear watch.  Time will tell.

People don't understand the pain we feel with this delayed release stuff...
