I have never owned a smart watch before, but this watch is pretty darn cool. I like being the fact that I could walk away from my phone and still get messages. Its a little big on my small wrist but that's ok, its worth it I swim but don't feel the need for a watch to count my laps, otherwise I wear during crossfit and haven't had any problems

Sometimes hangs - see images but I would still give it 5 stars if it wasnt for virtually no apps App selection is pretty SAD There's a handful of apps and most of them have issues. S voice is useless S Health stops half way during bike ride and congratulates you even thou you're still biking :) Or records a run when you're driving a car LOL Biggest mistake is not going with Android Wear :( Disappointing

read all the reviews, this seemed exactly like what I needed. I have a Google Pixel 3 and what I found was that there is no Messages app on the watch when paired with a non-Samsung phone. Went online to seach various forums and found about 1,000 other angry customers. Taking it back to the store. This was the main reason i wanted this watch so that i could read and reply to messages without having to take out my phone.

I love this watch. I never thought I would wear one again but this watch does almost everything I need it to. The battery lasts between 3-4 days of use, after the update. I get my emails, weather and SMS on the phone. I love paying for items using the watch and freaking out the people behind the register because nobody thinks it will work. Samsung should make a commercial showing people being told it won't work because they don't support Apple Pay and then the payment goes through. Hilarious! So what don't I like. The spartan number of apps/widgets in the Galaxy store. I use an app for my alarm and Silence Pro for to silence my phone based on my calendar. Would love to see more done on the watch from an app standpoint. I also didn't like the band that came with the watch so I got a replacement.

I got the watch 4/14 I tried to connect Samsung pay and it would not - y shud I have 2 redo everything when it's connected 2 my phone. Also I was able 2 download spotify but it wud only let me play n wud never let me stop or pause the music. I love samsung n still do but they have to make connecting much easier... I took the watch bak 4/15/18 - I will wait for a better version

I have had for two weeks love this watch. Phone volume is better than my actual phone. Seems very accurate. Receive texts and messages very quickly.you will not regret.

I love this watch it monitors several things like sleeping and workout habits, also it does the Samsung pay, and the display is amazing. A must have for active people and those who like tech that helps your overall wellbeing

Good Design and Build but, I wished it did bit more like continuous heart rate monitoring, rather then periodic monitoring. But overall feels good to wear, great design.

Very little app selection. I thought I would be able to check scores on the espn app, but that doesn't work. It's hard to check notifications. Watch feature and step tracking feature are good, a long with calling.

I have tried all sorts of smart watches and nothing comes close to the S3. It is super functional, easy to use and comfortable. If you are even looking at a smart watch go with the S3.
