Hi guys, anybody gotten Korea set from qoo10 before? The stainless steel edition 44mm for $488 inclusive shipping. Not sure if it's LTE.

Singapore currently doesn't have black available and it's aluminium right ?

Lazada offer looks the best, $30 discount voucher for today and free wireless battery pack.

Too bad I already preordered from USA! They should have announced the launch date earlier.

Many folks are also reporting that the step counter seems way off. :|

I've been holding out for a good smart watch that's not the Apple Watch (no iPhone) and hoping this is it. But looks like ... sigh.

For LTE watch I was told you need to pay for the eSIM. Only Singtel and M1 has it.

Is it a one time payment or monthly fee?

Had a look around but the Bluetooth one doesn't seem to be available in black anywhere? The staff at two Samsung stores were a bit clueless with one saying the black was only available in the LTE version and another saying only the Under Armour version was available.

Has anyone had better luck?

I went to 313 concept store they said black will be release next month.

Im close to buying the watch especially they have free strap worth 58sgd included but somehow its a deal breaker to have step counter and gps issues. That is one of the most basic feature of a smartwatch. Samsung should fix it before they release the product.

Agreed! Absolutely. Its a travesty that they can't even get such a basic feature right.

If you have a look at DC Rainmaker's review on YouTube, he also plots the heart rate tracking performance compared to Apple Watch 5 and 2 other reference devices and found that the Active 2's HR detection is also not fantastic :(

Sounds like they needed more QC.

Would like to know this as well. I asked Circles which is my provider but they have no eSIM capability.
