Best Smart Watch
This watch is simply the best compared to all the smartwatches out there. I tried a few of them before finally settling on this and I must say I have no regret choosing this Samsung Watch. The build is the best quality one can get for the watch and so far it has not disappointed me. The S Health works perfect, I was amazed when it started recording my Bike ride. I highly recommend this watch for anyone on the market for a great workable smartwatch.
GPS tracking is Atrocious but other than that its Great
I've had this watch for a few weeks now. I love all the features it has but my only qualm is that the gps tracking in completely inconsistent. I have walked the same 5 mile route 5 days in a row to end up with different distances each time. When looking at the location data map it shows me jumping from location to location with out tracking my route in between locations. It's pretty frustrating.
nice looking watch, HORRIBLE battery and features
this watch is not a "smart watch". if I add any extra apps, it drains the battery. Samsung apps take up too much space, leaving no space for music or anything else. I have to completely reset the watch about every 2 months because it starts going so slow or will not charge properly. I would never recommend this to anyone. I own a Samsung phone, but will never waste my money on one of their wearables again.
Perfect smart watch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi Everybody I am using Samsung frontier s3 watch since past month. This is my one of the best tech and I really love it. I recoment as this is stylish and really good for other smart work via apps. Perfect for today's situation
Game Changer!
By far the best smartwatch on the market. Quality build, excellent features and Samsung Pay makes this one stand on top. Snappy processor and very nice screen quality. Heart rate can be thrown off by movements or bumps while taking a reading. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking to have the best in wearable tech.
surprisingly good buy
I bought this almost three weeks ago and i was admittedly a bit worried that i had splurged on an overrated device. I was happy to be proven wrong, however. The watch is easy to use and connects to almost any phone easily. I started with a google pixel but switched to a samsung galaxy and the transition was smooth. z the apps are easy to use and the multitude of watch faces you can put on your watch are pretty cool. You can tell a lot of thought had been put into it's creation and i can see myself using it for at least a couple more years to come.
Big step in the right direction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned all 3 Samsung Gear S's. The Gear S3 is by far the best built out of them all. The design of the watch face is clean and bold. The new clicking feature of the dial is crisp and adds a much better feeling during operation. With normal use for about 3 weeks now I am able to use the Gear S3 with only charging every 2 to 3 days. The workout tracking seams to be more accurate and tracks more activities then the past Gears. I like that the watch band is now interchangeable with a standard watch band.
Welcome to the Gear S3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Welcome to the Gear S3! This watch is chock full of features! My favorite has to be that one can answer a phone call on it, and talk to someone on it. Very Dick Tracy! I used to have the Gear 2 and the Gear S2. The S3 is a great combination of both! There are a load of new watch faces to choose from. It has a vibrate feature to let the wearer know when calls and notifications are coming in. It is a lot stronger than the Gear S2. There are only two negative things that I can say about it: 1) there are some watch faces that the S2 has that the S3 doesn't. There was a watch face that had a shortcut on the top of it, and it was very handy. 2) the watch band that comes with it is not very comfortable. It doesn't seem to be too flexible. I placed the band from my old Gear 2 on it, and it feels great! So, yes, I would recommend this to a friend, and it is a great improvement over the S2!
Awesome watch
I was a previous owner of an I-Watch 2. Since I decided to get the Note 8 (always been a Samsung phone user, was very sad with what happened with the Note 7) I decided to also get the watch. This is the best thing I did. The watch is built solid and has some great features. I work in a field where I can not have my phone visible, but with my watch, I can keep in touch without violating work policy. The watch faces are great and it looks very realistic. I can change the faces and makes is seem like I have a lot of different watches.
This smart watch blows me away!
Okay, I’ve had the Gear S3 (Frontier Bluetooth version) for about a month now and feel like I need to share my opinion on the latest generation wearable from Samsung. Let me start by saying I have had three other smart watches. One android wearable, a Samsung Gear 2 and Samsung Gear S. I guess you could say that I’m a bit of a watch fanatic since I have many other non-smart watches I enjoy wearing too, but I digress. My first impression is that Samsung spent some time to make a quality timepiece. It looks elegant, as an expensive watch should, and feels solid. I’m sure this will take a beating and keep going however beating a watch is not in my nature, so this is just an assumption based on the impression it get from handling this watch. The Frontier has a nice outdoor rugged look which is why I chose it but that is personal taste. I really went back and forth since I wear a suit most days of the week and I think the Classic would have worked well too. I’ve owned 2 square/rectangular faced watches and 2 round face watches and I normally would say that you should buy for your own taste, but with the addition of the outside bezel that assists in navigating through options, widgets and menus I’m forced to say the round face on the S3 is the only way to go. It’s amazing how one simple design change could make such a great difference in your experience with a smart watch but Samsung hit it out of the park with the addition of the bezel control. I still use the touch screen quite a bit but it’s nice when you have potato chip fingers, to be able to navigate your way around without messing up the display. Again you can see I’m a fanatic about caring for my watches! The display on this watch is phenomenal! It’s actually a pleasure to stare at this watch which makes it a lot of fun to try and find a watch face you like. By the way, there may not be a ton of apps available but there are plenty of watch faces to choose from. The colors are vibrant and the display is bright, making photos look really nice, although as I get older, I would rather look at much larger pictures, but for those with younger eyes, I promise you’ll be impressed. The Gear S3 has worked well for my fitness needs! It’s a little heavier than a fitness tracker but for me it provides all the same stats. I’ve never had a problem with it registering my heart rate and the number’s provided for BPM, steps, miles and floors seem quite accurate but I’m not a professional runner and if it were off a few yards over 5 miles I wouldn’t know it nor would I care. To me, all this information provides incentive to work out and motivation to push myself from the last workout. I should mention here that I do have the watch remind me to move if I’ve been sitting at work too long! Now if you want the most accuracy and you’re running outside rather than on a treadmill you’ll be pleased to know it comes with GPS. The only downside is that it takes a few minutes to acquire the satellite signal but that gives you a chance to stretch first. There’s also room to store music on this watch if you don’t want to carry your phone when you run. It will sync with Bluetooth headset so you can carry your favorite tunes, listen to them without wires while you run and leave your phone at home. The speaker on this thing is remarkable too. Every sound is crystal clear and can be loud if you want. I played some music though the speaker on the watch and it blew me away for such a tiny speaker, however I would recommend a headset for your runs. The sleep tracking feature worried me a little when I read reviews. What scared me was that people would say the watch would run out of battery by 3 or 4 in the morning. My experience has been completely different, of course I do make some adjustments that may be helping. First I’ve found a watch face that sucks very little battery and in the always on display mode it’s just two red hands (Mickey Face Red). Then I turn on Do Not Disturb, turn the display all the way down and shut off sound and vibrate. I’ve used the sleep tracking app that comes with the watch and I’ve used the Sleep as Andriod app. In fact, I’ve used them both at the same time and never used more than 15% battery on my most wrestles night. I prefer using the Sleep as Android app because it allows the alarm to wake me up with vibration to the watch. Yes, even though I’ve turned off the sound including vibration on the watch when I go to bed, it still allows the alarm from the Sleep as Android to vibrate and wake me up. The vibration of the watch doesn’t wake up my wife on those early mornings! The battery could last me easy two days with as much as I use it. I know Samsung says 4 days but if you’ve got such a beautiful display and tool on your wrist you’ll want to show it off, so use it. The really cool thing about this watch is the fantastic charging unit that comes with it. There’s no need to plug it in or clamp on a battery. You just set it in the charging stand and it charges up for you fast. I generally take it off for 30–60 minutes in the morning when I’m getting ready for work and 30-60 minutes as I’m getting ready for bed and the thing rarely goes below 75% charge. Another review I read said that their banking institution wasn’t setup to allow the use of Samsung Pay, so I had to try that first thing. I’m sure this will vary based on everyone’s individual institution however I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was I able to use the credit card from my bank but also from my credit union. It took just minutes to set up and was really slick when I checked out at the register. Just two pushes on the back button, tap on which card you want to use, put your watch next to the terminal and you’re done! I’m sure I will be using this feature a lot! Lastly let me say that I don’t miss having the LTE capability I have with my Gear S. I rarely took advantage of the standalone phone capabilities and defiantly not enough to justify the extra cost including the monthly fee the service provider charged for the phone number. In summary, I’m head over hills with the quality, looks and function of the Gear S3. It was easy to set it up, but I’ve had other smart watches so I’ve had a little practice and for the month I’ve owned had it, it has performed well in every aspect. So if you’ve got some dollars burning a hole in your pocket this might be an enjoyable place to spend them! I highly recommend checking this out!
