Watch is very responsive. It has outstanding battey life even when all functions are active. It can last almost three days with moderate use and wifi in the auto state. The construction is great and it is a very good looking watch. The size is perfect. It is on the large size but not to big for a man.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a lover of watches most of my adult and adolescent life, for me a watch is also a sort of status symbol, practical jewellery. I wanted a watch that looked the business and was packed with the latest tech for outdoor activities, gym sessions and day to day life .... The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier was the one i wanted. With a weighty expensive feel to it, it was just like holding one of my Omega Seamasters for the first time. The strap, although made of rubber felt nice to the touch and most of all capable of taking a bit of stick from the elements and rough activities. Simple and quick to master and pair to your smartphone, Samsung’s usual slick compatibility. The Samsung Gear S3 looks the part, military style with its sinister matt black bezel and glossy body. Capable of swapping straps over you could get the perfect look you wanted with ease. The problem is, and it is a big problem, is that most of the apps so far, for me are pointless. There are not enough apps for this device at this time. Also the Samsung Gear S3 show piece is supposed to be the fact that it can look like a automatic style watch with hands etc...... but it doesn't. It looks like a watch face on a LCD screen, too bright and not sharp enough. i have downloaded loads of faces and none of them look good. The only ones that work are the digital ones, they work very well, but not what i wanted from this watch. Overall this watch is not what it wants to be, nor what I wanted it to be. It is not a smart watch that can compete with high end looks of a traditional face , its just not there yet, and that’s a shame as it had the opportunity to crack open a market that the others couldn't. #insidersgears3

ABSOLUTELY love this watch.. I have owned just about every version of the gear watches (along with a couple other brands) and I have to say that this one lives up to the hype.. It has far exceeded my wishes and I love how it interacts with S-Health to keep me motivated to keep moving.. I can't even remember the last time that I rode the elevator.. I was also impressed with the better battery life and noticed that I can actually go over a day without charging the device even in the always on display mode.. If I could change anything, I would hope that the makers would increase the on board memory as I tend to load my workout music on the watch to keep from bringing my phone to the gym's floor.. OK so I would hope that future models would allow the user to answer phone calls via bluetooth headphones.. This would keep me from removing the headphones to answer a call which interrupts my workout.. All in all, I am VERY happy that I chose this watch..

i have been using this watch for about three years. i became more efficient with every software update with the battery, now can recharge every day and a half, rarely crash, it has a good variety of apps to choose. good screen resolution. a bit heavy and bulky but i don't complain.

The watch itsself is good. Great design, i love the rotating bezel. One of the best smartwatches out there. I think its a little overpriced since Apps still l need to be developed. I wish it had an app that would notify you when you're getting away from your phone so you wouldnt forget it.

[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.

Just purchased this Gear S3 Frontier, and is very impress with its features and look. This is my first venture into the smartwatch category so i didn't know what to expect. The first thing which was helpful, was how easy it was to set up. Once i turned it on, it immediately recognized my phone and not only paired it, but setup all the features with it. In my line of work, you can't use your phone while at your workstation , so having the ability to receive texts messages thru the watch is great without having to step away. I have not jumped into all the features this watch has to offer ,but i'm looking forward to enjoying many of them. Will report back as i learn the many benefits of owning this watch.

Been on my arm for about a month. Replaced a charge HR. No disappointment at all. Its measurements are different both physically and activity but no question it's a fine device. I am pretty sure a cannot scratch it. Which is unusual for me. I wish for a few more apps but it does all I need. Battery life isn't as long as I expected but I am sure that the two of us will figure out a happy balance. Only gripe is not really a fault of the device but it captures message receipts as actual messages. Full disclosure... All my devices are Sammy's.

I've had the Galaxy S3 Frontier for over a month and feel that it has been put through a variety of scenarios. There have been minor quirks, but on the whole I am quite impressed with the product and functionality that it provided. Likes: - Lightweight - Design - Replaceable bands - Make / answer calls (connected to phone) - Great display both indoors and outside - Battery Life Dislikes: - Fairly large - Rugged look not for everyone - Ok sleep tracking - Ok number of apps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After around 3 weeks of use I've come to feel attached to my S3 Frontier. That's after thinking that I'd never really need a Smartwatch, too. I've had colleges at work ask me about it, being awed by the apps and features and family, too. The watch can pair up with either a Samsung phone, Android or iPhone (with the iOS software only officially out this week). There are certainly more apps available from the Samsung phone and it’s instantly paired, but pairing with the iPhone 6 was still a great experience, reading my Facebook, email and text notifications, showing weather and news and automatically notifying me how long it would take to get home when I left the office. More impressive was the 4 day battery life, or 2 days if you want to keep the watch face always on. This means you can also monitor sleep without worrying about recharging for a few days. Overall, this is an excellent companion to your phone, whether Android or iOS.
