First Samsung Gear S2 batch snatched in two hours in South Korea

There's a healthy demand for the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch in its home South Korea, it would appear, judging by the rate at which pre-orders accumulated. Scheduled to be made available in the country on October 2, the wearable was briefly listed on Samsung's local site, now sold out.
The limited batch of 1,000 units of the Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic was gone in two hours. Korean analysts note that the market reception is as warm as those enjoyed by the original Gear S and the Apple Watch.
Meanwhile, industry sources have stated that the smartwatch will come with 16 to 18 apps on board, no less than a dozen of which you won't be able to remove. Running Tizen OS, the Gear S2 (Classic or not) won't let you get of rid of obvious basics like Messages, Calls, Email, Gallery and S-Health.
Buddy is one the other apps you'll be getting, which will be a permanent fixture on the Gear S2, and it's a sort of auto favorite contacts. Looking for My Device (a shorter, more watch-friendly name may be in order, perhaps) may be genuinely useful for locating connected smartphones behind the couch, while Syrup Wallet is a simple payment solution for membership-based services.
