Will there be a new Gear S watch in 2015? - Samsung Gear S

Hi guys
Has anyone heard if there will be a newer version of the Gear S this year?
I think the sales of the watches were lower than expected according to Samsung on some "sites" I was browsinig, so
I was curious if they will releasing a newer version.
Thanks!!

I have only heard about an upcoming round watch that was named the Gear A. I am also surprised at no other info, as I bought Gear 1, 2 and S all in a fairly quick time period.

Kit Kat and the Note 3

Any word on when we can expect the update? It's rumored the S4 and htc one's will get it sometime in January. Do you think we will get it before them or around the same time?

Samsung leaked doc that listed the S4 also had the Note 3 for Jan.
No one knows. Only lists you will find are approximations for international versions. It will be months after that for the carriers to release it.
And the carriers have the final say on whether your device gets it.
This same question is asked every time a new version of OS is released
The only reason 4.3 was pushed to everyone was for Galaxy Gear compatibility before the holidays.

Galaxy Alpha [Indian Users]

The Aplha is launching in India on 27th of September. I am eagerly waiting for it. I hooe there are many others.
Share here ur colour choices. Nd also share the price in which u buy this device after the launch.
If they price it over 40k, they are going to lose some more sales numbers. I am still deciding between this and Z3C..

phone is good and performs better, but i dont think, it will success in india, neither even sell good, especially in this price tag... i think waiting for price fall would be great for those want this phone..
The battery is holding me back since I am on LG G2 now.. which is a monster still with heavy battery backup.
Does anyone know which version will launch in India? I'll be there in a couple weeks and if the price is right I may pick one up.

They officially dint announce it yet, but Samsung stores in Delhi do have the Alpha for sale already and also it's available on Samsung's e-store for 39.7k
On e-stores, the price is always on the higher sode... its strange that none of samsung's store in chandigarh has it on sale.
Finally it is available in stores. Got it last night for 36k. So far finding it far better comfortable than polpular 5 inches screen size segment. Rest everything is same. Nothing new.. as i am coming from galaxy s5
For anyone wondering the model I found was SM-G850Y. It was the same in the 3 shops I visited here in Delhi. I was hoping I could find the SM-G850F.

???
I'm waiting for it as well
I would love to have a nice looking band like the Swarovski! My thinking is... Samsung has popped out so many different smartwatches over the past year or so, that Swarovski may have second thoughts about investing their time/capital on a model that will be "old news" in a couple of months.

[Q] Need to verify I'm running the latest software please.

Hi Guys,
I just got the Samsung Gear S on Verizon model SM-R750V and I didn't know if the watch is running the latest software since I didn't activate it a store employee did so I don't know what that entailed. Could someone be so kind as to letting me know? Here is the software that is on the watch AR750VVRU1AOA4 it looks as if it was manufactured in April 2015.

Looks like Feb was the last update to the gear so it looks like I am running the latest software.
Looks like Verizon users got an update in early Feb that ends in 1AOA4.
Verizon: 1AOA4
T-Mobile: 1AOA7
Sprint: 1AOA7
AT&T: 1AOB1
Sadly, the rest of the world is already on BOC1 so AT&T's behind and the other U.S. carrier's are way behind. The Korean Gear's are already up to BOG1 so maybe some fresh updates are coming. As always, we in the U.S. who are dependent on our carriers will be the last to receive them.

OS Update

Just wondering if the Gear S has seen an update lately as in the past week or so? Thank you
I. Checked my att watch yesterday, no updates. Samsung forgot about the watch.
BOC1 came out awhile back, but I do know the Sprint Gear S hasn't received it yet. Of course, that may have been for the UK, not sure about the US. Currently, the Gear S doesn't work on devices running Android 6.0...............so Samsung may be holding off updating the Gear S until Android 6.0 starts being updated on their phones.
