After waiting patiently nearly all day for that familiar brown truck, my SS S3 LTE finally arrived. Setup was a snap - it went much faster and easier than I anticipated. Tap, tap, click, click and my S3 was operational. I skipped the AT&T authorization because I wanted to make sure the watch was operating perfectly and that my heart rate data from my S0 was intact. It was. At age 79, one pays attention to heart rate data. The most difficult part of the process was removing the Milanese strap from my S0. I had never removed it since Opening Day in 2015 and it was gummed up. I cleaned the ends of the strap and the slots on my S0 with 180 proof Everclear. I keep Everclear around for cleaning purposes only, you understand.
The S3 is outstanding. Display brilliant. Very responsive. Watch face changes easy. App loading is fast. I am very happy. “It just works.”
After reading some of the posts here, I was apprehensive about the AT&T authorization process. It was very easy. Tap, tap, tap and it was done. Apparently, AT&T had gotten their act together by late afternoon. Now it was time to try out LTE. Leaving my iP7 on my desk, I hobbled down the street 3 or 4 doors and finally got the green dots. I placed my first call to my 89 year old sister in Washington State. She uses a iP6 I bought for her. 89 years old. iPhone. Non techy. Get it? “It just works.” When I lifted my wrist to place that first call, I was transported in my imagination back into the 1940’s newspaper comics. I told my big sister that she should no longer call her little brother “Tommy” but “Dick.” Dick Tracy. The 2-way wrist radio is here. Thank you, Steve.
Respectfully submitted,
Tommy, aka Dick Tracy
