Unfortunately, most local companies did not have this watch or the sport on display. I ordered this with out trying it on and it was too big for my wrist (mind you I do not have small wrists). I am in the process of trying to return it and get the sport which is smaller.

The watch overall looks really nice and I get a lot of compliments on it. This is the first watch I have ever worn. I never liked wearing anything on my wrists before so it did take some time to get used to and I am still getting used to having it on my wrist. To sum up the main uses for the watch it comes down to these 3 things: 1. Quickly glance at notifications (text, FB messenger, email, apps, fitness trackers) 2. Track your fitness 3. Quickly pay almost anywhere with Samsung Pay Samsung Pay works amazingly well and seems to be even faster than the phone. It has worked everywhere so far. I really like that it gives you 30 seconds to pay. I think the phone app should be increased to at least 15 or 20 seconds as this makes it convenient to turn on as the cashier is finishing up the checkout. The fitness apps work pretty well. I am not sure the flights of stairs works very well. I think maybe there is a height that it is trying to hit and it must not think I am going up that high. I really would like to see an app such as map my fitness for the watch. Then it can track your fitness on a pre-downloaded map and show you everywhere you went. The app section is pretty limited right now. Overall it seems to work fine. I would like to see my email from Inbox by Google added to the watch since I don't use the Samsung inbox. For now, I only get through my Verizon texts and my facebook messenger messages. I have a small wrist and I think the watch looks fine. It looks like any other metal watch with a big face. There are a lot of watch faces and it is easy to switch faces at any time. I really like the faces that have the time, plus the fitness trackers on it so that you can easily check on those numbers at the flick of a wrist. Battery life is really strong. It lasts at least 3 days. Depending on what I am doing with it, I might just charge it at 2 days just to make sure it won't die on me.

easy to set up, easy to use, connects to my Samsung Phone and is a great additional digital device. The bevel makes movement on the watch and apps easy. Battery life is best of any watch I have owned and like the various health alerts. Well worth it and yes it tells time too. The only slight issue is watch face options but has the basics. One prior watch had like 100 choices but never worked as well as this watch for one second. This is a keeper.

I bought this about three years ago. Recently a crack appeared in the rear of the watch and soon after water ingressed and the watch broke down altogether. It was a good watch while it lasted...but I’m not interested in watches that don’t last pretty much indefinitely. This isn’t such a device and if you’re like me and don’t want to be throwing broken tech into recycling, I’m afraid, I’d avoid it like the plague. Sad, watch manufacturers can’t play the same games with watches they play with phones...at least, I hope not...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 've absolutely loved my Gear S3 Classic. The sleek design allows it to fit well with any occasion (except maybe the gym). The software is smooth and responsive. Being able to pay with my watch using Samsung Pay has been so cool and turns so many heads. The only reason I can't gave this 4 stars is due to some compatibility issues with some 3rd party apps, such as Google Messenger, but overall fantastic device.

I bought this watch 1 year ago and have had multiple issues. I was given a second watch because of issues and now the second one is doing the same thing. The warranty is expired so I am stuck with a inferior product. The watch battery won't stay charged and the watch face fades in and out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gear S3 Frontier is a standout in it's design and aesthetics. From the moment I took the watch out of the packaging I was blown away by it's solid feel and look. The watch itself is sturdy and has a decent amount of weight to it. As a 6ft tall guy it fits well on my wrist and does not feel to heavy when being worn. The moment you turn the watch on you realize how amazing the screen is. It's very bright clear and easily readable. Over the first day I found myself looking for excuses to look at it and use it. The built in apps are nice and there are some additional ones to be added but unfortunately, this watch leaves a lot to be desired on the integrated app front. I went with the frontier option because it was advertised as the active version. Considering that it has a surprising lack of active apps. Other than S-Health there are no integrations with your most common running, biking or hiking apps (even ones that where supported by the S2). There also appear to be apps in the advertisements that don't exist (the one where the biker is getting turn by turn directions on a trail). Overall I would recommend the watch to someone, but suggest they go in with eyes open. There may be a bevy of apps integrated in the future but at the moment the pickings are slim, which is really sad for a device that I really love to wear.

I love this watch! I had a fitbit Blaze before and this watch barely cost more than the blaze, but has so many more features! I love that I can receive and answer messages and calls. Plus with the Samsung health app I can use it to track things like my steps and heart rate.

I bought this as my fist smartwatch and i was awesome, years later the battery started heating and the watch died, it was more expensive to fix it than to buy a new one so now i have the galaxy watch which is a lot better in overall terms but something that improved a lot is the battery, now it last a lot more.

I was thrilled when I got this watch from Amazon last year November. Worked like a charm and I used it every day and everywhere I went. A pity though, that the module didn't last more than a few days after the manufacturer's warranty with the prescribed usage. Not very economical to repair the module I've found, so it's back to the drawing board. Great watch while it worked though!
