Have had this watch since they first came out ( 2016 ) wear it every day,battery still lasts about 2 days.never had any problems with it,been thru about a dozen straps but they are cheap to replace. I could upgrade but why bother when this is still going strong.thank-you samsung for a quality watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Classic Samsung Gear 3. I get at least one compliment a day on how dope my watch looks. I like the fact that I can change the faces on my watch, it make me feel like I have 10 watches in one. It challenges everyday to walk and run more. Seeing the alert ketting me know that I have reached my goal is AWESOME. It keeps me motivated. I love the fact that I can answer my phone calls and text right from the watch. It also monitors your heart rate which is a huge plus. It even gets better you can listen to music on it too. No need to pull out your phone if your hands are full. The is the best Smart Watch Hands Down!!!!!!

I really like this watch a lot. I've held out to get a watch that would fit a certain design and would be worth getting. This did it for me. Design is manly but classy and the watch function works great. Only thing I wish it had was the googlen maps and a few other apps I use on the phone. Also more detailed info on all the options. Like the altímeter and barometer. A must buy. Oh yeah samsung pay is the best on this watch.

when setting up, make sure to look at the watch face battery usage, and the apps you have running in the background. some watch faces will drain the battery in hours instead of days. same goes for apps. download the gear app, connect your watch to your phone, and monitor from your phone to make sure you have everything set right

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gear S3 is the leading edge of innovative technology, and with the Gear S3 they did not hold back with packing a massive amount of technology into this compact device. Everything from a GPS antenna to an internal speaker with built in microphone for making phone calls and anything needing audible feedback. The screen is super bright, and being able to view the photos that are received in text messages without opening your cell phone is a super nice feature. The battery, although it does take a bit longer to charge than its predecessor, does last over 50% longer than the Gear S2. If you want a way to monitor just how well your sleep habits are, then this is the device to get. It automatically monitors your sleep time with 3 degrees of rest as shown in the attached photo. But the battery does take longer to charge, which is not an issue for most people who do not wear their watch to bed like I do. I enjoy the ability to have the built in alarm function to wake me in the mornings by vibration. With the Gear S3 addition of a built in speaker, I also have the option to turn on a speaker when the alarm rings or it is adjustable to have one or the other used. Samsung stepped it up a bit to include their MST – Magnetic Secure Transmission – alongside NFC, which others use for mobile type payments. The MST allows for a more secure form of payment to keep your Debit/Credit card isolated from others when using it. I have been able to utilize MST at most locations, with the exception of gas pumps (but I can pre-pay to keep information secure). When others see me using my watch, the first reaction I get is " We don't offer A**** Pay" and of course my response is always, " Good, because I would try it with that device", then when the transaction goes through, their eyes get big and say "Wow, how did you do that? I didn't know we had that capability here". This usually leads into a good conversation about how it works with the magnetic card reader instead of a MFC reader. Then I get the deer in headlight look, and I know I lost them. The weight of the Frontier had me concerned before I received it. I have been wearing the Gear S2 for some time and was really used to not realizing it was there. After I opened the box and seen that it was actually bigger then the predecessor, my concerns got higher, that is until I put it on. Once I did that I realized that this this is legit. It is rugged yet sexy, powerful yet simple to use, and most importantly it does not feel like wearing a toy watch. This thing is the real deal. Feels better than any watch I have worn before, and after a few days, I cannot tell the difference in it. Which is the way a watch should feel when you are wearing it. I do not think it will fall apart if I bump it up against something. Which brings me to the Corning® Gorilla® Glass SR+. Not having to worry about a scratch if you do bump it up against something is a wonderful feeling when you are wearing a quality watch. And the Frontier is built with Quality in mind. In the age of smart phones, some people do not have a need to wear a watch, when they can easily just check their phone for the time, but this is way more than just a time keeper, it is a personal computer on your wrist, that’s ready to assist you when you are ready.

This thing has lasted years of abuse, even survived with me in a near death car wreck when I flipped my car into a lake and swam out. Changed the band a few times over the years and just kept chugging. Eventually tho, after about 8 years, the battery is finally singing it's dying song. I just bought the 5Pro and just unboxed it so wish me luck! I'm a diehard Samsung fanatic, so there's that.

This is a great watch, but it could have more features. like the ability to do more customization to the way it functions. They also need to develop more useful apps. The screen resolution is amazing. I bought a metal band insted of using the rubber band it comes with. All in all a great buy.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch is awesome. I love that I can get ALL of my notification on my watch and that I can select what ones I get and don't get. I also love the step counter a long with the sleep tracker. Overall this watch is an awesome accessory. My ONLY issue and this is me being logical and nothing else is that the classic to me isn’t worth the hype ONLY because your phone needs to be right there in Bluetooth range. The battery life is GREAT. The colors the functionality is all excellent. However, I just don’t see the need for the watch. Bluetooth range isn’t that far away so you can always get back to your phone if need be. The upside I guess to this is that if I am at work and I leave my phone on my desk and I go to my co-workers desk and I get a text or a call I know right away. Other than this one little thing that ONLY pertains to the classic version this is a beautiful looking watch.

The best Samsung Smartwatch so far! I had the Gear S2(Non-LTE) for less than a week and returned it. BECAUSE it did NOT have a speaker. However the Gear S3 has EVERYTHING that could possibly be in a smartwatch! Also the battery is a HUGE improvement from the Gear S2. The Gear S3 is very stylish, looks great, performs well, excellent battery life, and everything else is awesome! I use Samsung Pay on a daily basis and that works flawlessly! S Health is also very useful even though I'm not big on working out, I like how it tracks sleep and daily activities such as walking automatically. One suggestion for the next gen Gear S4 though, I'd like to be able to download ringtones and notification alert sounds to the watch.
