Any one else get theirs? I love the look and feel of it and I really like the Tizen interface. I have the Moto 360 and Android Wear is functional, but really boring and stale to me at this point.

So far so good with the S2. Easily gets me through a day too, battery life is so much better than on the 360 ..

Not yet,I'm waiting on the data-connected version.
Verizon is now taking pre-orders:

November 15 for T-Mobile subscribers:

Some good news regarding AT&T & T-Mobile users,as both are gearing up (pardon the pun) for a single phone number across multiple devices:
https://recode.net/2015/10/14/att-readies-technology-to-let-multiple-devices-share-one-phone-number/
http://recode.net/2015/10/14/t-mobi...one-phone-number-to-work-on-multiple-devices/

Likely a monthly access fee per device,but,IMHO,much better than having an otherwise unnecessary/unused 2nd phone number.

Just picked mine up moments ago:
Liking it more than I imagined,the main draw was having a Tizen-Powered watch fully compatible with non-Samsung devices,but,I think I'm staying for the lightweight feel & the U/I dial for navigating the menus/settings.

I'm the oddball that prefers rectangle watch faces (Gear/Gear2/Gear S/LG G Watch),but,this one is growing on me real quick.

Hope to see more users chime in w/their experiences w/the Gear S2. :thumbsupdroid:

I am on Verizon. Just a lot of delay in calls getting to s2 when not connected to phone. Also doesn't play well when bluetoothing with car audio system.

Admittedly,my needs for a smartwatch are a bit more pedestrian & owning this particular one is a bit overkill.
Notifications are my main use 90% of the time,the rest the rare occasional use of the untethered phone call (momentarily leaving the phone out of range).
