I really liked the watch.. The battery only lasts 3 days if you barely use it. I would have kept it if S Health was better. It's terrible. Terrible design, and everything about it. I've used garmin connect for 3+ years and love it. Will stay with garmin unless they overhaul the app completely..

I have had other smartwatches, and this one is by far the best. I love the bright display and feel of the watch. It looks nice and is not awkward on my tiny wrist. I appreciate the round display and the smooth integration with my Galaxy Note 8. There are a lot of optional watch faces available for free which is also great.

I waited and waited for my Samsung Gear S3. I ordered it from Samsung late November 2016 and received it in January. The wait was worth it. I am happy with everything except one thing. I wanted the Gear S3 to have Verizon 4G. When I figured out that this was not going to happen (maybe some future date) I decided to go with the Bluetooth version which has worked out very nicely. All features are excellent and the battery life is great. I can actually get 4 days if I needed. I don't find the size any problem. Many people I know wear conventional watches that are larger than the Gear S3. Thanks Samsung for a great product, but hurry up and get the Verizon 4G option going.

I love all of the bells and whistles on this fitness watch, I had a Fitbit Surge watch and although it did most of what I wanted it to do, it did not compare to what this watch will do. I do not know of another fitness watch that will do what this watch will do. There are a couple of things though that I would recommend to Samsung. 1. Find a way to charge the S3 faster. My Fitbit Surge charged much faster. 2. At times, the S3 thinks that I am sleeping when I do not move much, like watching TV, or working in my office. I am pretty sure that I am awake. I would also like to be able to download the Gear app to my Laptop. The Smart phone works great, but I believe it would be convenient to have it on my PC and smart phone. Overall, I give this watch very high marks. I have only had it a few weeks, but I do not see my opinion changing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier to use it's full name, has been a pleasure to wear this past month. Whilst feeling like a "normal" watch and it tells the time, the smartness has been subtly amazing! Having had the original Gear Fit until now, I expected standard features of which of course this Frontier had and enhanced i.e. giving me a nudge if sedatory for a while and showing/responding to stretching suggestions to get active! The display is fantastic, microphone is really clear (spoke to my wife whilst on Brighton beach with my hands full with the kids) and options to customise are easy and plentiful i.e. the watch faces. This is an extension of my S7 edge phone being able to successfully and easily take calls, handle messages (including 3rd party apps like whatsapp) and the S Health features are excellent. The battery life is better than imagined at a realistic 3 days and children really loved the surprise Vampire game and moving bezel; truth be told I do too :-) A couple of non-positive comments: The watch sometimes automatically read the exercise wrong i.e. pushing my daughter in a pushchair thought I was cycling, understandable but shouldn't be congratulated for a bike ride! Also, as with the Gear fit, the need to remember the specific charging accessories (in this the case the magnetic, wireless charger) is a pain if away from the single one you have; not widespread enough to borrow another person's charger. All in all, I was delighted to take part in this experience and will definitely be keeping the watch as whilst not really "needing" it at the start of the campaign, it would now be missed if I did not have it!

I got my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier for Christmas and absolutely love the device. I had previously had Fitbit products that had a horrible design flaw that Fitbit did replace with the same product with the same flaws. This product is much superior to any Fitbit product and I recommend it to anyone. It fulfills all my needs for a wearable device. Thanks Samsung.

Overall, I love this watch. My biggest complaint is that it is so thick. But then again, it is a full blown computer. Right out of the box it was easy to set up, pair with my Samsung phone and use. Very intuitive as well. No guessing about how to use apps, or install additional watch faces. I really like being able to look at the watch to see who is calling/texting without having to grab my phone from my pocket.

When I first heard about the Gear S3 I just happened to be in the market for a new wristwatch. It was almost fate that my searches lead me to the Gear S3 announcement video from a few months ago. While watching the announcement conference, I fell in love with everything Samsung set out to do with the S3. The design of the watch sparked my interest the most. For me personally, a watch is first about style, then about telling the time. The classic version of the watch is simple, elegant, and fit everything I was looking for in a watch style. The stainless steel, Gorilla Glass, and AMOLED combo gives it a truly premium look and feel. Plus with the ability to easily interchange bands and faces the watch can fit in for almost any occasion. With this being my first smartwatch, I've made good use of the messaging, calling, and notification features the S3 offers. Everything on the watch has ran perfectly smooth and is made easy to navigate with the rotating bezel and reactive touch screen. Topping all this off is Samsung Pay right in the watch and I was sold on this thing from day one. Overall this watch is a tremendous value for what it offers and I am exceptionally satisfied with my purchase of one. I have, and will continue to recommend this to all my friends with Android devices.

I will never buy another Samsung smart watch. After one of the last updates the watch will not stay on. When you put it on the charger it shows a battery percentage (for example: 57%). Then within a few minutes it shows 100%, but the watch will not stay on as if the battery is not charged. One of the reasons I stayed with Samsung is because of the watch. Apple makes a far superior smart watch without all of these problems. I will be trading in my Note 8 for an iPhone as soon as my contract is up.

I am a man, but don't have very large wrists so I was worried that this might be too big for me, but it isn't at all. I love the look of the watch and being able to change the wrist bands. It almost looks like a real watch with the always on display, but it takes up batter so I don't often use it. I didn't think I would ever use the phone feature, but I actually found myself using it as a speaker phone while in the car and a couple of us spoke on it and the person on the other end seemed to hear us just fine. The speakers were definitely loud enough for a quiet environment. So far I am very happy with my purchase.
