[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been 3 days i am testing it out and i am sorry but i have only few good things about it to review. Good:- 1. Watch interface is super cool its easy and fun to use some to look forward to at the start of the day. 1. Round bezel is the way to go for all watches. Bad:- 1. Poor ergonomics watch is not at all comfortable to wear. Its too too thick. 2. Bottom is thick and flat it dose not stay comfortably on the wrist ( mind you i am 6 1" and have big wrist) it should be curved a little like a good brand Analog watch. I have even bought a lighter wrist band thinking that the stiff leather band might be causing some of the discomfort but it was not the band. It was the way the watch was designed. I hope Samsung will try to design the body more ergonomically refined and comfortable to wear in the next generation.

I have the Gear S2 and I absolutely love it. I thought I would upgrade to the S3 and purchased it as soon as it was released. I was very dissapointed to find that it is considerably larger than the S2. I am a petite woman, and the face of the watch is bigger than my wrist and feels heavy. For a man it would be fine and the larger face would be easier to use, but it's obviously not made with a woman in mind. Unfortunately, I am going to have to send it back and just stick with my S2 .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it's a Samsung Gear S3! I grew up in the days of Star Trek and Sci Fi. A programme called Tomorrow's World was showing off all the latest gadgets and people got excited about electronic filofaxs and a watch with a built in calculator. Just a few decades later and Star Trek is not so far fetched and Samsung have released a smart watch that deserves it's rightful place in history as one of the best smart watches of its time. The Gear S3 Frontier is not only a great looking watch but it brings functionality to a whole new level. Even though there aren't many apps yet. There is more than enough to suit any person. I believe this watch is adaptable to anyones lifestyle. For me this watch has intergrated itself into my hectic lifestyle with ease and I have to say it's performance has been great. Just in this last month i've taken some important calls that I would have otherwise missed. The battery life is fantastic. A good 3 days between charging, which only takes a few hours. The 4 Gb memory is great for my music on a run or a ride. It's also helped me with my sleep pattern with the S Health app and a lot of people have been asking me how good it is. I only wish I was getting the new Galaxy S8 Edge to go with it. For anyone thinking of getting the Gear S3. Look at its capabilities. Match them up with the things that you want it for and I guarantee they'll be a few more things you'd use it for when you have it. A fantastic watch. Just needs a transporter app and Scotty can beam me up. :oD Thanks for reading.

The watch band is to small? The buckle half of the band is the same size for both small and large, it's about 12mm to short. I had to purchase a new band for my new watch right from the start. Samsung should offer a XL band to cover everybody. I can't even find an OEM extra long band from Samsung.

As usual with Samsung devices, the Gear S3 frontier is a great looking watch, has high quality parts but the software aspect is the worst part. Tizen 3.0 doesn't have hardly any apps, and what apps are available don't really function so well. The app store also seems to allow anyone with a computer to upload an app regardless of how functional it is. There would be a great improvement if Samsung switched to WearOS. I'd also like to see each improvement in battery life as it doesn't last for days, but at most about 24 hours of actual everyday use.

Its simple easy and very helpful. Dont need to access my phone for the little things anymore and is very descreet. Also helped me just the other day when i was working i left my phone in the truck on the charger so i couldnt use it to call for help, but since i had my watch and i was in range i was able to call someone to let me out of the building i was locked in so i was very happy with knowing i have it. The only thing is getting use to the size and weight of it. Dont get me wrong it aint as bad as some watches you see but differet from a simple watch you would normally wear but when you get use to it its like a regular watch. Also fun thing i didnt know but you can download games and play them on the watch very limited selection but nice feature. Its not required but you can change bands which personalize your watch but may also prevent a rash or chafing like i got from the band supplied.

I switched from fitbit to Samsung and while it was a big change at first it was worth it in my opinion. It has many apps available and it seems like many new ones are added every week so you can add basically what ever you want. I've never owned an Apple watch but I don't know what this watch has that they don't.

I absolutely love this watch. The ability to swipe and pay is fantastic. The problem is it forces you to put the screen lock on with a pin. First the numbers for the pin are so small and odd shaped that 9 out of 10 they are wrong. Then it asks for the pin when looking at text messages or mail notifications. never has it asked for the pin when actually using the pay program. The tilt to display has a mind of it's own. And the ability to understand what notifications are waiting from the home dial is confusing. It could be so much more. But I go back forth every day whether to return it or not.

This is my second Gear Watch. My first was the Gear S2. The S3 is better and bigger then that of the Gear S2. The featers and functions that I like? First of all, thank you Samsung for ditching the snap on band, it was hard difficult trying to find watch bands for the Gear S2. You did a great job ridding the snap on the Gear S3, Samsung! I like the pulldown menu, it is easier to turn on/off sounds and functions on the Gear S3. The speaker seems loud, although I haven't turned the volume up 100%. Voice asset is not up to par, as it has a little trouble with understanding what I am saying. Perhaps, it may have to do with backround noise? Notefacation and ring tones have very few to choose from and there is nothing from the App store. The bear S3 is a tad bit pricey, but all in all it is a really nice watch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely amazed by the Gear S3, just because it really looks like watch. And also feels like one, and everyone at the first glance think it is a regular watch. At the first time I wore it, I thought it would be weird, unusual, a strange new device. Wrong! After 3 days I couldn't live without it. The Gear S3 is elegant, practical and easy to use. The display is incredibly bright, the colours are vivid and the resolution is sharp. The Tizen software is fast and runs smoothly, user interface is intuitive , connection is stable and the battery is a plus, at least 2 days of heavy use. It's hard to describe what I like the most in the watch, jut love the design and the fact I can swap the 22mm strap for any other I like. The rotating bezel is unique, and it is very smart the way the system is applied to it. The GPS is a great companion for running or any other activity, It is resistant, don't need to take it off for a shower, heart rate monitor is accurate and replaces really well my old sports band. Simply incredible.
