Returning my Active 2 (Honestly the Active 2 is a great watch, I just wanted something that looked nice) from the Microsoft deal for $180 in November and buying this. Thank You OP

I'm not rich and I use the LTE on watches. It's just $5/month on T-Mobile so I just usually leave my phone at home when I go out on errands. The LTE versions also should have a better resale value.

To add to that, the Watch has Samsung pay, so you can shop as well at a few places without taking your wallet and phone!

Really. 45mm isn't really large unless you're talking about a 5 ft 90 pound female...

No comment on that.. it's a touch subject, but 45 is really large for most girls, even for boys. I am not saying it's large for wrists, it's just it looks huge sticking out of the wrist and looks really odd. Compared to Active2, same screen size but 2mm smaller it looks more understated, I think it's the turning dial that makes this big. I still wish smaller one was available for like $10-$20 less, or heck even same price a lot of people would grab it.

Also larger dial makes it hard to do gym/sports/weight lifting/etc, just not really for activities.

Damn tempting for the LTE version, but I will probably never use the LTE feature so it's really moot. Wished the 41mm version is available for much cheaper without the LTE stuff because no one really uses LTE unless they are rich enough to get another plan. Also the 45mm is a bit too big for my small wrist. Plus I use mine for sports so it might be too big for that.

But good deal for those who need it and wants one.

43mm is really sweet spot when it comes to big looking watch faces, for example I love my Citizen EcoDrive Blue Angels, it's 43mm and it's really the limit. With these thick profile smart watches, when you pair them with 45mm size, it just look gigantic.

I traded in my galaxy S3 frontier and paid $11 more to Samsung. I wish I had waited.

Thanks, but doesn't Active 2 have Samsung Pay too? Or do you mean did they bring back MST payments!? I thought they were done with MST payments (I love and use daily, magic, people go "whaaat, how did you do that" all the time after insisting "that don't work here, no apple pay") ?

I logged into my Microsoft account (November 3rd purchase) and I was able to click on the return button and print out the UPS label.

Yes, you dont need this watch specifically for Samsung pay. It works with Active2 as well without LTE.

No 5%, maximum I saw was 2%. Read the terms to understand which categories qualify for 5%

Good deal, got the black on black. I'll probably just use it with Bluetooth only and disable LTE for better battery life

I wouldn't chance it with Samsung. Your best bet it to Resell that one. And keep the new better price one.
