Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.

@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.

Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

No brainer? Will this work with my rooted Note 2?

With the custom rom, does it work with all phones now or still stuck with Sammy?

Just picked one up today from Best Buy's eBay site. $89 - $20 eBay loyalty coupon that splashed on the screen.
Could not pass up for $69.
Probably will sell it the instant the Moto watch comes out, but for now, it's a cheap toy!

Buying in the UK

Hi all
I'm ready to bite the bullet and buy this watch.. What's the cheapest website it can be bought from in the UK? Preferably a site that someone has used and can recommend.
Thanks all
Chris

Got mine delivered today from mobilefun.co.uk the going rate is 199 and the delivery got muddled up with the click and collect service. Still i had that refunded, and they were apologetic so overall I'm happy. I have seen the same price starting to appear on other sites too.

They thought the click to collect was a home address, therefore needed verification. This delayed the order process. Was all resolved in the end.

Got mine from mobilefun too. Seems fine. Go for it

got mine during the black friday sales on amazon.fr for £161.
unfortunately, after receiving it, I noticed it has a cluster of dead pixels, so I asked for a replacement, which is arriving today.

Hi,
I am looking at buying this from Amazon.fr even though it is on order with Expansys, which I can cancel.
Are there any difficulties in buying this watch from France? Will the packaging, adapters and system updates differ to that in the UK?
Thanks,
Jason

Sector adapter diffrent in France. 2 round pin.

I went to Handtec.co.uk used them before for phones, paid 4.99 next day DPD, they cost around £10 more than cheapest 199 deals but their service is top notch. Got mine a few days ago and all I can say is you will love it.
Always on mode, I don't see the burn in some mention in other threads...
I tend to use black background faces, with bright marks & hands.
Watch looks amazing,
strap is crap, ordered a replacement from Ebay, make sure if you get a new strap it's 22mm wide & 3.0mm - 3.5mm thick at the watch head.

Battery in always ON mode, 18 hours approx, normal use.

there are no difficulties with Amazon.fr. Have Prime myself and got the watch in about 3 days. The watch and accessories are the same except for the wall adapter, which is European (2 pin).
You can use any UK wall adapter however.

Just got mine from Mobile Fun - ordered Sun late night and got it this morning. Well impressed with the speed!
They're also on Quidco so you can get some cashback, and if you check Hot UK Deals, there's a voucher for free royal mail postage which while you can't actually use royal mail (have to pay for courier delivery due to the value), you at least get a couple of quid knocked off delivery

availability - when and where

so far i've seen it being sold in a fishy uk online store, which i'd rather not buy from, and romanian and polish stores, which i don't have access to.
chinese online stores shipment takes ages so i'd rather skip those too.
how is it possible to be notified about it becoming available (actually in stock) in new stores in the uk and in around europe? is it predicted to happen soon or it might take a while?

I suggest that you wait for amazon.it , amazon.es. If you have friends in France they can buy it in eLeclerc on 27.8.

I bought mine on gearbest yesterday. Shipping isn't bad for me in the US, I paid 5 extra dollars for 7-10 day shipping. And I got a free $40 mi band 3 which is a good deal.

Is that more trustworthy than Gearbest? They still haven't shipped mine :crying:
It's supposed to be restocked on the 31st, 1-2 days to start shipping, and then 7-10 days to actually ship. It's a pain.

thanks all

Would you be so kind as to notify us as soon as it arrives? I believe all of the websites are "preselling" it, but I may be wrong. Also could you tell me how the connectivity is for your mobile network? Thanks mate

Yeah I live chatted gear best, they actually get their stock on the 31st. And it'll take 1-2 days to process, and then 7-10 days to ship. They offered me a refund or an exchange instead but I said I'd just wait. So it'll probably be another week until I get it. But as soon as I do I'll post.

USA. So far, it's pretty good, but basically a Mi A1 with a better camera and 18:9 screen.

I have it since yesterday. Love it, I get a nexus feeling with stock android an such good overall speed.

i ordered one waiting for shipment , I read many negative reviews so kinda ruined my excitement for it =( How is the battery. I ordered the 6gb version, do you thinks it's worth over the 4GB?

purchase asus rog 2 phone

where can i purchase online the phone china version no problem.

Yeah, couldn't find it on aliexpress.

Giztop.com has it listed

You will need to wait 3 weeks or 1 month or even more. The stock is limited they are currently locally selling the phones in batches every 4-7days and every time it's sold out.

Is Giztop even legit? I feel the list thing as in stock but ship it 1 month later. Also it's at an inflated cost right now being $100 more, I would wait a month

I've bought a phone from them before and purchased this from them. I'll see when it ships and arrives.

It looks like Alibaba is selling them. https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=asus+rog+phone+2

trusted website.I bought my phone from that website

Liaow is a trusted seller, I can confirm.
they're usual more expensive, but very thrustworthy and good communication..
I've bought my last 3 phones from that shop, including my current ROG 2.

Hi,
I received it at my door 4 days after them getting the first stock (they use DHL Express). Usually full processing, shipping and getting through customs takes max 5 days.
I did of course get to pay customs tax, around 28 EUR (+-30 USD), I live in Barcelona.
It arrived in perfect condition and included a simple charging adapter.

ok thanks for your info, i live in Czech Republic so it will be similar

Liaow is $200 more than original price. it is quiet expensive without including shipment cost and customs.

giztop probably buys from JD and marks it up by $100

Even if you live overseas, you can purchase this mobile phone at the Chinese version of jingdong.com official store.

liaow wants $1150 shipped for the RoG Phone 2
I hope prices go down eventually. I am content with my OP7 Pro but would like something with better battery and no curved edges.
Something tells me it won't go down, blah.

is it reliable? the only chinese I buy from is Aliexpress, and sometimes the vendors are mean/tricky. i found this one:
https://item.jd.com/100006808184.html
But i m relying on google translate to understand the page... I m a bit worried about risk of not being able to communicate with the seller or so if anything happens... and there is no shipping cost?
Also i was reading the comments on the phone on JD and soo many complaints about defects in screens. it seems they are suffering from quality check ?
which makes me worried as Asus won't support tencent out of China...
And I tried to create an account and it requests to use phone number. I added my phone number but not receiving sms with the code. I guess they have the international code to my country wrong.
Thank you

I ordered from Xtremeskins.co.uk, will do the same, I ordered on the 21st of October, still not here yet though, it's coming to Ireland from the UK.
Ordered screen protectors from Germany and got those within 2 days from protectionfilms24.com

Well, I won't be ordering from @slickwraps anymore. I payed $8.95 for 2day shipping, 2 days ago, and the item still hasn't even shipped! Wtf? Never again. I got ripped off.

Same experience here a few phones ago. I actually got em on the phone & they were very dismissive, claiming the order was a pre-order & basically I'd get it whenever.....
If that's the case, the expedited shipping shouldn't even be available.
I filed a grievance/complaint w/PayPal & got my money back.
I'd try Gadget Shieldz..... good prices & high quality product.

They're based in India, so, if you're on the other side of the pond, expect three weeks for delivery. Upgraded shipping is basically tracked shipping... doesn't really cut down on shipping time, but, it's relatively inexpensive.
