Great watch. Like the size and the step counter. All the fun faces that I can change on a whim is nice.

I've used a few different smart watches over the years which were all basically android wear os and tizen ui is the most reliable. I have the fossil q exploring 3, 4, fossil sport, and skagen falster 3. They are wonderful smart watches but the thing that holds them back is the os which google's wear os isn't that nice. I've seen apple's watch os and even though I haven't lived with that watched I've seen many videos and played with it myself in person and the os is so butter and feature packed. The design of this watch is subjective. I really like the design. Its quite well built with metal and the rotating bezel ring makes such a satisfying click and sound everytime I use it. The watch doesn't feel or look bulky. It's sleek and clean. The battery life is quite good on this watch and gets me easily through a whole day. The standby time is pretty good. As far as I've seen I throw it into the airplane mode and it pretty lasts for days. Like I can't give specific amount of days because I use it often and charge it usually around 20-30 percent. It's last a few days no problem on standby but I can't recall how many days exactly. So Tizen is great because it's designed soley around the circle watch design and it's quite intuitive. The notifications pop in and can be interacted which and cleared by swiping up or going to the end and clearing all and the there are customizable widget tiles that can be added. There are a lot of ones built in. The app drawer is very nice being in a circle and display the app name largely in the center. The quick panel is entirely customizable with various toggles available and overall I'd say using the watch in person or perhaps seeing it in videos will give an idea of how it works. It's smooth mostly and reliable. Watch faces can be downloaded through the galaxy store. The only thing that isn't so great that some people may not like is not google app support at all. So no google pay, maps, etc. I'm completely okay with that now. This is the best smartwatch experience I've had overall on Android. The apps I have on my wear os watch mostly aren't available for galaxy watch. Also I wish there were better watch faces like on wear os and easier customizable watch faces and complications. Overall this a great watch with nice reliable and balanced software, great battery life, very nice design and feel but I do feel it's a bit expensive though. I still do believe apple watch is the best smartwatch but this is the best watch from my experience for Android users.

Really good price i bought this watch on 2021 and still have it no issues with it

Good: The watch looks very good, it goes well with just about everything. Battery lasts 4-7 days based on usage. The Tizen interface is smooth and easy to operate. Notifications are in near real time, and it rarely lags unlike the WearOS watches I've used (Moto 360 Gen 2, Fossil Gen 3 and 5). The rotating bezel control is the best control of a smart watch I've owned. Bad: If you're using a non-Samsung Android device and have a work profile, notifications from your work profile do not come through on the watch. This is partially an Android problem, but software could resolve this. On Samsung phones, there is an option in the UI to allow notifications through. Ugly: The activity tracking on this device is worthless, and this is the reason for dropping two stars. It does not take in to account heart rate when determining calories burned. You can start a workout and lay completely still for 30 minutes, then start another workout and do a HIIT workout for 30 minutes and the calories burned is exactly the same. The only variables for calories burned is the type of workout you select and the amount of time you workout. It tracks your heart rate - why not use it? Every other activity tracker I've used takes heart rate in to account. Overall, if you are on a Samsung phone and/or don't use work profiles and you don't want to use this for semi-accurate activity tracking, this watch is perfect. Otherwise, I would go elsewhere.

This watch worked like it was brand new for 2 yrs then the battery life tanked. But 2 yrs....that's pretty good for an item nowadays.

Love this watch. Worlds better than the Moto I had a few years ago. Does just about everything you could ask. Won’t go through the list, you can read that in the description but I will comment on the things I like the most, like all of the health monitoring features. Most seem to be very close to professional medical devices I’ve compared them to. One really cool one is blood oxygen level. Blood pressure isn’t available yet but coming soon I believe. Phone call feature is functional when your phone is nearby and your hands aren’t free, but you’ll want to hold it close to your face or you won’t have the best experience. Text reading is OK but the only viable option to reply is to voice-to-text replies. Morning and end of day recaps is a cool feature, weather forecasts are, too. I like the looks of my “3” but would really have loved to see the rugged look of the first Galaxy watch carried over to the “3.” So many watch faces you can add. One of my fav things to do, along with getting alternative bands. Great watch.

Been working great. No problem. Wear it every day. The battery holds up really good.

This takes everything my old Apple Watch did and puts it in a package that gets better battery life, looks MUCH better and costs less. What more can I ask for? Health features are solid, notifications are great, love Samsung Pay with this. And it looks kiler!

Had my wach for 2 years now and I love it has everything and i need for messages and navigation. Bixby however is the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5

Not a fan of the leather watch band the Galaxy Smart Watch 3 (45 mm) comes with. I ended up buying a few silicone watch bands from Barton Watch Bands. They are flexible and, unlike the leather band the smart watch comes with, the silicone bands retain their form. Otherwise, I love this smart watch! The rotating bezel on the Samsung smart watch is clicky and addictive. I found myself rotating the bezel just to find out my steps and work out data. I'm an Android user, so I don't know how this compares to the Apple watch. Then again, I did convert from an iPhone to Android back in 2014 because I loved the customization options. Same goes with this smart watch -- there are third party apps that you can download to customize watch faces outside of the Galaxy store. You can find them on YouTube.

Great watch. I like the fact that it looks like a regular watch.

Excellent battery life and screen clarity. Helpful tracking apps

Watch is great but for a big guy like my husband it was really hard to keep the wrist band from breaking. He’s 300+ lbs and muscular, something simple would cause the band to snap. He hasn’t worn the watch since.

I love this watch. This is my second Samsung smartwatch and the Galaxy Watch 3 is more robust with more features than my previous Samsung smartwatch. I can check my calendar, monitor my health, count my footsteps, talk on the phone (on the watch), etc. There is not enough space here to list all the things that it can do. It greets you in the morning with a weather summary and you daily calendar and summarizes you day at the end of the day. I can go abut 2 days without charging. It is a great watch - and more than just a watch!!!!

This watch is awesome..Bluetooth is so helpful when driving or not wanting to hold the phone. Love it has lots of great features and apps!!!

I love mine!! It’s better than my wife’s Apple Watch in my opinion. The face has awesome settings. It’s compatible with all my Samsung devices. I love mine and it’s easy to change out the band to match whatever I’m wearing.

Great watch , definitely comfortable and not too big for my size. Light and very fashionable.

Have had this watch for 2 years and still love it. I love Galaxy items and this watch is top notch

Works great! Never leave the house without my watch. Will continue to buy upgrades!

I bought this watch to replace a previous Samsung watch so I guess I am a little guilty of favoritism. I am NOT an APPLE fan so I cannot compare it to it's competition. I will say after wearing it daily for weeks is that it a very useful watch. It is even better than the Samsung Frontier and that watch was passed down to my wife.(who has instantly become a fan) This watch has about a 2 day battery life between recharges. It may be shorter if I constantly check for certain emails or texts. It allows me to see who called, texted or emailed with a quick glance at my wrist. If I choose to, I can send a quick predetermined reply. I can monitor my heartbeat, listen to music, and even find my phone. I can go full Dick Tracy and even answer phone calls if my phone is within range. I am a mail carrier and my phone stays in the truck or pocket while I service large postal units. This allows me to stay connected and yet stay focused. My wife chuckled and shook her head at me until I had her test drive one...and now she too is a fan. The watch is supposedly water resistant to at least 25 meters(might be 50?) but I have not fully tested this. It has a water resistant mode and I have used this while wearing in the shower. When you take it out of this mode, the watch will notify you that it is expelling any possible water and then switch to normal mode. The face of the watch is completely up to you as you may change it a will. Many watch faces are available for free download from Samsung, There is a pretty in depth range of health features that are also available that I do not use and cannot completely review. The one common requirement is that you have a Smart Phone to pair with these Smart features, The watch uses the Samsung Wearable App to make a lot of this magic happen. I am unsure how well this transfers to other phone manufacturers or to Apple. I know that it is Android based and Android driven.
