Used to have the Gear S2 Classic and upgraded to the S3 and so far am loving it. the speaker a couple of extra features and a nicer band is nice to have now. Only thing that I don't like is the thickness, it is thicker than the S2 but I guess the perks make up for it and I have gotten used to it now. So far I've used it with the Note 5 and Galaxy S8.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gear S3 is the latest generation of smart watch to come from the tech giant Samsung. So, its been 2 years since the gear S was released and 3 since the Galaxy gear. What has this time allowed the developers to introduce? Lets compare: The Gear S has a 2" AMOLED touchscreen The Gear S3 has a 1.3" Amoled touchscreen The Gear S has GSM and HSPA Cellular WIFI

I bought this watch yesterday, I am returning it in less than 24 hours after getting it. I have gone through the set up of this watch over 12 times, every time I try to connect to the phone it resets the watch. The app on the phone detects the watch but as soon as it says continue on watch the OS just craps out. Do not bother purchasing this thing, try getting something with less bloatware as well. Samsung has dropped in quality over the years and this is the reason why I no longer buy any of their products. Again, I was not able to connect the watch to my phone once... As a software developer, this is one of the most poorly designed OS' out there...

Just got the Samsung Gear S3 and it is amazing! This is my 3rd smartwatch and it is by far the best. Cool apps, sweet design. It is a little big for my wrist but I've gotten used to it. Love being able to answer my phone or reply to texts from the watch.

Great watch for everything but there are not any great apps for detailed navigation for outdoor use. Android wear 2 has View Ranger which is excellent but this watch runs on Tizen . Hopefully they will come up with something soon apart from Gear nav which is just basically Google maps great for finding a city or a postcode but no luck if you go off the beaten track. Also far too many watch face apps, stopped downloading them now...boring ....yawn !!

The samsung gear s3 classic is by far the most handsome and beautiful to look at. The design is just simple that if you were to add something more it would ruin it. Taking cues from any normal modern watch, but adding state of the art technology. The way the bezel feels and sound everytime going through the device is very satisfying, it makes you feel premium. The device is easy to use as well, everything is straightforward, also love how it really does last a couple after charging till full one time i think that's a really nice achievement. The only thing when getting the s3 if you go for the classic they're some features you might not get compared to the frontier version, but i think it depends on what people need the watch to do for them. All in all which ever version of the watch you are getting, all you need to know is that you're getting one of the best... Scratch that "The best" smart watch in the market right now.

I switched from my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to the Gear S3 Frontier for a month, and I can tell the love and care from Samsung put into this product. Even 7 years later this phone is compatible with my S22 Ultra just fine, and I even prefer the style of the page provided for this watch in the Samsung Wearables app. Even though it doesn't use Google's WearOS, Tizen 5.5 still very much holds up in my opinion, as it carries the same basic messaging, calling, notification functions. The feel of the watch is great as I always loved the rotating bezel on smart watches but this must be my favorite design on one. If you find it for a good price, I think it would be a great cheap smart watch option.

I moved to Android from Apple phone and watch because I was sick of losing my accurate heart rate while mountain biking or running. The HRMs I own track perfectly, but Apple (using the same tech) can't seem to make it work. So I moved to Samsung S9 and this watch. The watch is GORGEOUS. I really like how it feels on my wrist, and its interface is snappy. But when I use it for bike rides, it would constantly lose my GPS location and heart rate. It's a fitness watch, come one! Why can't anyone design a HRM in a watch that works as well as the Scosche HRM?? So I'm returning this watch today.

I have owned a gear 1 and a Pebble steel and out of those 2 I would say the Pebble steel was the better of the 2 that being said I love my gear 3 and easily think it's the best smartwatches i'v owned yet decent battery life nice sleek design and lots of cool features I am very pleased with the product only thing I wish I could change is the password pin needed for Samsung pay it's kind of annoying entering that in on a small screen all the time I knit of wish I could use voice or finger print instead but really that's just a minor complaint over all its a great watch and seems very durable :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display is nice and bright, but adjustable if need be. Battery life was better than I expected, but that may be due to how few features I really tried out. Overall a great smart watch. My only negative would be the band. The stiff leather band that it comes with is bulky and not flexible. I also prefer a metal watch band on my traditional watches, so that would be my first accessory purchased.
