Been using this watch (non-LTE version), sync'd to Galaxy S4 and S7, for about three weeks now. Definitely not for someone with small wrists as it is fairly large and heavy. The display is really nice, and battery lasts about 2-3 days with normal use. Barometer and altimiter apps that are included are questionable as far as accuracy (altimiter doesn't seem to re-calibrate as it's supposed to and often shows changes of 30-300ft in Alt when calibrated manually). Notifications marked as "read" on the watch don't sync back to the phone. Samsung Pay works well with both GS4 and GS7.
My biggest complaint is the number of apps / widgets that are available through Samsung (very few since the watch runs Samsungs Tizen OS, not Android wear).
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a decent case that protects against minor drops, but not from much more than standing (haven't tried, just wouldn't trust it like other cases). I would advise against the clear case. After less than six months routine use, the case has yellowed to the point of almost being brown.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: "Inbetween" length
Most HDMI's I've found at the store are either too short (4 ft) or too long (6 ft). the "inbetween" 5 ft cable is a much better fit for my needs. Using one from Blue Ray player to TV and one from Sat. box to TV and no issues.
Monsters "upgrade" option makes this cable worth it when compared to others.

What's great about it: Sound quality over internal speakers
What's not so great: Setup
Sound is much better than with the built-in speakers on LED TV. Mine is connected directly to the TV (through the ARC HDMI on the TV) instead of to the satellite box (so I have the option of using the sound bar or just the TV speakers). Sound bar sometimes doesn't come on with TV, which can be frustrating (especially for my wife).

It showed up in stock on November 24th, ordered quick before it read out of stock again. It said I'd receive it by December 6th. However my order email had a note that said "awaiting release date". So was it on stock or am I waiting?

Can I set up and update a Samsung Gear S3 watch with a Samsung Tablet instead of an android watch? If so, which Samsung Tablets are compatible with the Samsung Gear S3?
I'm assuming you mean, "...with a Samsung tablet instead of an android <phone>"? I haven' tried, but have been told that if you can download the Gear app from the Play store, you can use the watch with the device. You will loose a lot of functionality though since it won't have a constant connection to a device with data access (assuming your tablet isn't 3/4G).

WIll I be able to connect both my bluetooth headphones and the bluetooth version of this watch to my s7 simultaneously? I.e. will I be able to listen to Spotify on my phone and control it with my watch?
I've used mine with both an S4 and S7 while connected to either car audio (Bluetooth), or BT headset and haven't had any problems. Still get notifications on watch (incoming text, etc.) when talking on phone.

Samsung - 2.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
Bring movies, music and games to life with this Samsung HWF450 2.1-channel soundbar that features three 2-way speakers and 3D Sound Plus technology for vibrant audio. The wireless active subwoofer offers powerful bass for dynamic home theater audio.
I have a cable box, a un55c6500 tv, HT-c5500 bluray home theater, and a new HW-f450 sound bar how can I connect them all so I can use one remote
I don't want to sue any of the speakers that came with the bluray just the soundbar. I also have a wii and xbox connected to the tv. It all seems to work with the optical but I hate having to use the soundbar remote just to adjust the volume. These are all Samsung products.
Connect all of your devices to the TV. One of the HDMI ports may be labeled HDMI # (ARC). If there is, use another cable to go from that port to the sound bar (for best sound). On the TV, make sure the "Anynet +" is on.

How is this different from the HW-FM45C selling at COSTCO?
Is it the same thing?
specs look the same, so I would say yes but there may be internal differences (lower quality components) to account for the price difference.
