Still rocking my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier I got open box excellent condition from BestBuy for $150 over 4 years ago (April of 2017). Still looks better then all these new models and my battery somehow gets me through the day with 30 - 40% left. Amazing smart watch, if/when it dies I will definitely be buying another Samsung....maybe the Watch 4 classic as it's the closest looking to what I have.

Ordered 44mm today on Samsung and trade in my active 2 (150 trade in). With EPP came out to 120 after tax with a sport band, plus a 50 dollar credit voucher.
I would really love to figure out where I lost my active 2 so I could do this.

You can, but it is a pain. You have to download things to your computer, then usb upload them to your phone, then use the Samsung Music app to move them to the watch. If you want a playlist, you have to create it in the Music app and, then, move them to the watch.
Thanks for the info. Man, I was expecting it to be like an Android phone with apps that I can just install podcast players on. I'll have to hold off.

Yeah, I would wait until we get some in-depth reviews of the new Google play store since this is your first one. I know you can add Spotify offline playlists so far.

I cannot figure out why they can't add this - specifically something like Spotify playlists or adding all of your "liked" music so you can just listen from your watch. Seems like exercising/running with the watch and not having to bring your phone is a massive use-case that a huge proportion of people that have smart watches would use constantly. I know I would.

Raku10 is not actually giving 12%. Looks like it is 1-2%. You might want to try a different site.

Also, Honey is down to 1,000 points.

It has been a real aggravation. Fitbit got rid of the ability to upload music on the Sense. I got the Samsung watch specifically because it would allow me to upload my own music. I had expected I would be able to use YouTube Music, but nope.

Most users want two things: battery life and ability to listen to music while exercising. I don't get why they don't listen either.

to go with your phone that lasts 7 days...
Phones are data and usage intensive. Watches are more for background and notifications. Also phones can fast charge and be plugged in when you're sleeping, the watch you want on as much as possible and charges very slowly. Comparing a phone to a watch is silly. Battery life should get better with new generations not worse.

Looks like the Active 4 watches are back in stock. Just ordered the silver LTE with the trio charger. $190 for everything with my Active2 trade in. They're giving you double on the trade in than what you would get for selling on ebay

Is it still tizen or have they moved on from that useless OS?

Edit: looks like they finally moved on to WearOS
Tizen by itself still have better battery life. The core is still Tizen with Wear OS layered on top.

I agree the S3 frontier still was the best smartwatch, period. It has still had MST and still looked the coolest.

2-14 days per their FAQ (below). I have used them in the past without issues, so hopefully this goes smoothly. I normally convert my gold to Amazon gift cards, but there are other options.
thanks!

I could be nuts, but I'm not seeing the $50 Samsung credit in EPP at all (or Honey offer for that matter)

Maxing these deals can be so complicated. After a ton of back and forth, I ended up just getting the 40MM Watch 4 Wifi (the cheapest one) for $99.99 + tax. I didn't use EPP since no Samsung credit and wasn't seeing the Honey 5000 points popup there either.

So in total, after trading my active 2, I got the new (active) 4 and an extra free band - I got the blue med/large one free with coupon code ETSFR89LNEGUJ) all for $106.xx after tax. Should also get 5% back from Discover via Paypal, $50 Samsung credit, $50 from Honey, and possibly 12% from Rak10, though I would imagine I'll have to fight for that and probably won't have the energy to do it. Last time I bought a bunch of Tab S7s and S7+s, I had to email them several times and it took a couple months to get a response, but they did eventually pay the cashback. In that case it was almost $250. I'm likely not going to fight much over $10ish.

Either way, if I get the $50 from Honey, should cost right about $50 to upgrade AND get the $50 Samsung credit. I certainly don't view that as cash, but there are enough deals that I should be able to buy something to cash out and flip and get an upgrade for free or near $0. I'll take it.

Also, to be clear, the instructions above for the free extra band is for ONE. Unfortunately, you can't add 10 bands and punch in codes to make them all free like you can sometimes. I definitely tried Smilie

I finally got everything to stick with incognito mode.

Is the Honey $50 still working for everybody?
