$599 for the Gear S3? Ridiculous!

Fortunately Samsung probably know it themselves and are offering a 20% discount for S7 and S7 Edge owners.

Just run the mySamsung app on your phone and once your phone is registered, tap the menu button and tap Rewards. You'll be sent to a screen where you can access the deal and generate a code that you can use on the website.

If you pre-order now (ships on the 17th), you can also get a red watch band for an extra $8.29.
UPDATE: I emailed Samsung and they said the bonus silicon band will be provided even if you did not add it to your order.

Pre-order here: http://www.samsung.com/au/gear-s3/

4% cashback via CR <— Probably won't work since a coupon code is being used.

    Friend ordered one. Fingers crossed that he also doesn't have to order a funeral plan also.

  • dingdong555 on 09/11/2016 - 23:22

    Any idea how to purchase one using a Go Mastercard for interest free? Website doesn't really state watches and interest free, only Samsung phones and tablets as such.

    • Exec-Matrix on 09/11/2016 - 23:29

      The watch is related to phones so should be under that columb. I just ordered one now, no problem.

      • dingdong555 on 09/11/2016 - 23:47

        Did you get it interest free with your card? How do you know? Have you got a confirmation

  • lostn on 10/11/2016 - 00:06

    Still too expensive. The RRP of S3 is higher than S2 at launch. Will the S4 be even more expensive?

    I have S2. The band breaks off too easily if you knock it into something. I switched to the spare band, and that broke too only days later. So now I can't wear it unless I buy a new band.

      The RRP of S3 is higher than S2 at launch.

      It is a more advanced model and it doesn't replace the S2, so the $100 price increase is expected.

      So now I can't wear it unless I buy a new band.

      Get a free replacement?

      • lostn on 10/11/2016 - 19:58

        Kind of like with Galaxy phones and iPhones?

        Get a free replacement?

        Wow. I had no idea they were doing free replacements. The article doesn't know how to claim them, but I'm going to be looking into it. Thanks!

    • iridiumstem on 10/11/2016 - 08:10

      Their s2 classic model had same RRP and s3 look more like s2 classic than s2.

    If i were to get this through 2 amex cards at HN. How long before the $100 credit back ? Does anyone know ?
    Secondly can anyone confirm the exact amount of GST on the purchase. I mean after discount and that free strap taken into account.

    Thanks

    • carva848 on 10/11/2016 - 15:53

      Secondly can anyone confirm the exact amount of GST on the purchase. I mean after discount and that free strap taken into account.

      I didn't bother getting the "free" $8.29 strap as I don't think I'd ever use it. Without the strap, the total is $479.21 with $43.56 GST.

      With the strap, it should be $487.50 with $44.32 GST.

    • browser on 10/11/2016 - 23:25

      With AMEX cash backs (statement credit) you usually receive a confirmation email soon after the eligible purchase, the actual credit generally appears after a few days.

      On the surface, HN/AMEX cashback is a better deal, but with Christmas around the corner chances are there may be other things you want from HN. So it may be better to use the Samsung code for the watch if you have an eligible phone/code.

  • Ven0m on 10/11/2016 - 14:36

    Anyone heard any inside knowledge about when Samsung Pay will arrive on the Gear S2 in Australia? Or the Spotify app? The Gear S2 is supposed to get a software update to get the same new software as on the Gear S3.

    Just got back from Harvey Norman.
    Pre-ordered the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Black (with bonus red watch band) for $567.
    Paid $300 deposit with one AMEX card to claim $100 AMEX Cashback.
    Will pay another $300 upon pickup of the watch (including a random but hopefully necessary $33 item) with a second AMEX card to claim another $100 AMEX Cashback.
    Bringing the total cost of the watch down to $367. =)

    • Ven0m on 11/11/2016 - 12:33

      $567? Online site says $597? How'd you get the $30 off??

    Basically login through Samsung account is not working it seems. It asks you to login again even already login.

    Using Chrome by the way if that makes any difference.

    I just got an email to inform me that Samsung have refunded me $8.30 AUS. I can only assume this was because of the misleading 20% methodology.
    "Samsung Electronics Australia Pty Ltd has just sent you a partial refund of $8.30 AUD for your purchase."

  • Belistic on 18/11/2016 - 07:37

    Has anyone tracked their watch yet?
    My link opens the startrack site but with no tracking number.

    • iridiumstem on 18/11/2016 - 07:38
      +1

      I am not sure whether it's Startrack or Samsung. If you've gone through Samsung page, instead of clicking the link, copy the link by right clicking to get the reference number and enter that reference number on the Startrack website.

      It's kinda weird, since sometimes I didn't need to do that, sometimes I had to, to actually get to the tracking.

      • Shads on 18/11/2016 - 08:10

        Had the same problem so I called Samsung to get the number, put it into the Startrack website and comes up as invalid.
        Hoping to arrives today…

        EDIT: the person at Samsung gave me the incorrect number… then the reference number they give you or you copy from the "track delivery" link is not the actual tracking number. Had to put this into the "reference number" field in the Startrack website in case anyone else had any issues.

        • Belistic on 18/11/2016 - 08:56

          I tried my number both as tracking and reference numbers, but still shows "There were no tracking numbers found that match the number you have entered".

          Seriously, Samsung/Startrack should have their shyte together.

        • Shads on 18/11/2016 - 09:55

          Well I just got off the phone to StarTrack and according to them it hasn't even been picked up from Samsung yet.
          Good thing I pre-ordered… :\

        • haydo on 18/11/2016 - 12:38

          @Shads: Same here, disappointing that it won't arrive today

        • Tgb on 18/11/2016 - 12:59

          @Shads: Also experiencing the same. No tracking info on the site, just "ready for pick up". Called Samsung and they said it's due for delivery today (and just received a text stating this) however Startrack seem to think it hasn't left Sydney yet….so feeling doubtful will receive in Melbourne today. Very frustrating

        • haydo on 18/11/2016 - 13:06

          @Tgb: Also just received that text, tracking seems to indicate it was scanned in Sydney an hour ago… doubtful of the delivery occurring today

        • Shads on 18/11/2016 - 16:22
          +1

          @haydo: Yeh was pumped when I saw the message saying "ETA 18/11" but then seeing it just scanned in Sydney at 11:34 was extremely disappointing. From what I have read in other forums, Samsung were late to lodge a few batches of deliveries.

          Same thing happened when I pre-ordered the S7 Edge, Vodafone stuffed up the lodgement and ended up getting it 3 days after release date.

          Doubt I will ever pre-order with "delivery" ever again for Samsung products.

        • Tgb on 18/11/2016 - 18:35

          @Shads: so no one received today? Startrack said they were only made available for pick up by Samsung today…

          The whole Samsung store experience has been amateur hour. Very surprised at how hopeless the whole experience has been - from tracking order on the website (doesn't work on mobile), the 20% off not being correctly applied, different pricing between Frontier and classic by a few dollars and them sending out startrack urls that don't work (had to get the reference number from the URL and manually type in) and now the delivery delay. What a joke!

        • Belistic on 18/11/2016 - 19:36

          It's all good, now that I have received the Samsung sms. Although the sms says the delivery will reach me BY 22/11, when I click on the link, it says ETA 23/11.

          Might be lucky to receive it by the end of next week… I hope…

        • iridiumstem on 19/11/2016 - 01:08

          @Tgb: I have received mine today (though, they are sending the red watch strap seperately which is rather annoying). I've been checking the page, and they have sent mine out at 7pm on Thursday. I assume that they've started sending the watch out fairly late and they couldn't send all out (and that's my theory).

          Yep, Samsung is completely incompetent with its customer service. People who pre-order their products are likely to be those who are willing to pay extra for their products, giving them shit experience like this is beyond stupid as far as I can see.

        • eug on 19/11/2016 - 01:11

        • eug on 19/11/2016 - 01:50

          @Oversimplified: Frontier.

        • iridiumstem on 19/11/2016 - 01:51

          @eug: Nice, I think I am like the only person who've gone for Classic.

        • tight-ass on 19/11/2016 - 14:19

          @Oversimplified:

          I think I'll be ordering the Classic too using the 20% off code through Samsung's website.

          I just returned from HN to check them both out in the flesh - the Frontier is a little too big and I prefer the 'smarter' look of the Classic.

        • iridiumstem on 19/11/2016 - 17:46

          @tight-ass: My gf (who paid for it) thought Frontier one would not suit me that much and I should go for classic. It was kinda ironic because Classic model is targeted at an older audience and both my dad and I were thinking Frontier looked better.

          That said, I don't think the photos are doing Classic justice, I am genuinely satisfied with Classic and how it looks.

          My gf has Gear S2 (Sports) and it improved upon the hardware and polished softwares. I guess the only peeve I have with the product itself is the fact that they don't supply the watch faces that they've given to S2 (you still can get them on store, but they are not customisable). That said, watch faces that do come with S3 is more complex so, I guess I shouldn't complain that much. Size probably would be too big for many people, but I think it's fine on me (thickness probably would be an issue with suits, but haven't check it yet).

        • zedroid on 19/11/2016 - 20:04

          @eug: have you paired it with a Samsung phone? if not, do you have Samsung Pay app on your watch or in Samsung Gear app on your phone?

        • eug on 20/11/2016 - 00:47

          @dasher22: I just tried installing it on my S7. From the watch I pressed and held the top-right button which started up Samsung Pay, scrolled to the end, and tapped Install. I accepted the prompt on my phone and it was installed.

          However, only AMEX and Citibank credit cards are accepted at the moment. My ANZ Amex didn't work. Pity!

        • zedroid on 20/11/2016 - 07:28

          @eug: Thanks for the confirmation. I have paired my watch with HTC and cannot find SPay app. Looks like it is still available only when the watch is paired with a Samsung phone. Even though, GS3 has been marketed to have SPay when paired with any Android 4.4+ phone. Here's to hoping that Samsung rolls out an update to fix this.

        • eug on 20/11/2016 - 08:00

          @dasher22: Don't worry, they will!

        • itsTricky83 on 26/11/2016 - 00:38

        • eug on 26/11/2016 - 01:22

          @Tricky83: Yup, looks like it's just Citibank and Amex-issued cards at the moment. I wish there was a way to use Android Pay with the watch.

  • iridiumstem on 18/11/2016 - 15:06

    If you haven't added the band to your order (like I did), Samsung have said that they will send it seperately to the watch and it may take 2~3 weeks.
    I was on the phone call because of that.

    • Killix on 21/11/2016 - 19:32

      I was sure I added it my order / it was included when I purchased but upon receiving my watch today it wasn't included. Went back and checked my invoice, nope. Must have derped.

      Did you just call the Samsung on their 1300 #?

      EDIT: Just saw OP's update and they might be sending the additional band to everyone?

        Yeah, I called them and had a chat. Not sure about your case, but in my case (I didn't add the band in the order), they said they are including it for everyone who've purchased Gear S3, it's just that they will ship it seperately.

        • Killix on 21/11/2016 - 19:40

        @Tricky83 I think that only works when the watch is paired with a Samsung phone :( I have HTC phone. SPay app isn't even available in Samsung Gear app for installation.
