They are hard to get hold of, particularly the Frontier, I managed to get a Frontier from Amazon, it came from luxenbourg, however the seller has now increased the price to £395, I paid £345.
So far I'm very pleased with it.
Is it simply a supply issue? I can't seem to find anywhere that gives any indication of when it will be back in stock...So far I'm very pleased with it.

Guy in the Carphone Warehouse just said that they are hard to get hold of, Carphone Warehouse had them online for a few days but they sold out quickly, a Classic isn't an issue apparently.
Hmm. I'm going over to Munich in a week or so - I wonder whether I might have a better chance of getting it over there...? I assume the only difference would be the plug??

I bought my Nexus from them. Got stuck at customs/DHL for about 4 weeks. Only got it when I tweeted a complaint. Not their fault, admittedly, plus they covered the duty etc. but I'm loath to risk it again. Also, I'm not sure about the warranties with imported stuff?https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/#/product/19490

ETA: That all said, I've gone ahead and ordered from there anyway!

I think you'd struggle to find a product that doesn't have an international warranty these days?
Just to update this, Samsung now have the Gear S3 Frontier back in stock on their website at £349 as I have just ordered one now.
They had been showing availability for a couple of days, but when trying to order, it wouldn't go through - but that seems to have been resolved.
Just a bit of a tip, but I found I couldn't place the order via Firefox, but when I tried on IE, it went through now (possibly something to do with cookies or some other hiccup). Samsung themselves said try a different browser if you're having issues.
Hope to get it early next week - but apparently they have been fulfilling the back orders 1st.
Cheers

Hopefully the lack of stock is good news, ie lack of stock means it is popular, being available on iOS is good news too; sell more and more apps become available.
On a side note I've just taken a call from my daughter through it; phone is in the lounge and I'm in the kitchen, it worked extremely well, very clear both ends, I don't think I could do it out in public though.

Really happy with the rubber strap so I'll probably keep it on it.
Bit disappointed with the GPS; went for a run yesterday and looking back at the route it appears it took around half a mile before picking up the GPS signal, the route it recorded was about 3 miles but it said I had run 3.5 miles so I guess it filled in the extra by using my step count, however I drove the route to see how accurate it was and it was 3.7 miles.
There doesn't seem to be a facility anywhere to check on the watch if the GPS is locked on, I have Googled it and not got anywhere.
Once the GPS is locked on though it is accurate and doesn't drop out.

If anyone fancies adding their name to this to hopefully persuade Strava to make an S3 app.

For anyone else looking to buy one, check first whether your employer is part of the Samsung Employee Purchase Programme (EPP) network. The Gear S3 is currently selling on Samsung's EPP page for £314 (10% discount), although when I picked up mine, I was lucky enough to get it for £261.
My employer is part of the Samsung employee programme however they only had the classic and with just 10% off.
I bought mine, setting up a new account at very.co.uk. They give you a code for 20% off if bought before 31st January. I also did it through Quidco for 7.75% cashback.
I am liking the watch but you kinda have to be committed to it if you want to get the best of health tracking apps etc which means that my other watches are now gathering dust.
