I have been a long time Apple user and when my work changed brands and went to Samsung I had to make the switch with the watch as well. This watch far outperforms the Apple Watch. Battery life lasts twice as long, and after a full day of use I can put it on the charger and it would be fully charged in 10 minutes. The overall functionality and customization is so much better. Regret not making the switch sooner.

This smart watch is amazing watch & if you set your settings up correctly you can get "3 days & 5 hours" before you have to charge it again, in the heart rate monitor and other features are Great also it's nice that you can activate emergency where if you trip and fall hard it will instantly notify your emergency contacts, You can also do lost of customizations of the watch and there's always more features that they add for example they recently added where if you open and close your palm slowly you'll be able to answer the phonecall on your watch without having to touch the watch. I highly recommend getting this watch

I have other Samsung watches and they are all excellent. This one excels at battery life. No more worries of charging every day, this watch lasts for days. Also the watch is a little lighter than others which I like. Of course there are thousands of watch faces to enjoy installing and using. A well thought out and well made product. I chose a black and silver band with the black watch and it looks pretty sharp I think.

Galaxy 3 watch

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 continues to offer one of the better smartwatch experiences on the market, with a dazzling design and top-end spec that allows it to run as smoothly as any other wearable of this age and still compete with newer watches. It isn’t faultless, and its improvements over the original Galaxy Watch are limited, but if the middling battery life or high price don’t put you off this may be perfect for you.

I bought this one as an upgrade from the Galaxy Gear S3 classic. I will say it is a definite upgrade. Better storage capacity was the first thing. It has Bixby available, which is not as great as other AI systems, but it does the job. Also, it recently updated, and now has a feature that allows it to give you a pretty accurate ECG reading for your heart ( I actually spoke with my Doctor about it's accuracy). It has a really clear screen, and I definitely like the bezel navigation better than the constant touching and swiping of the screen. I would absolutely recommend this item.

This is an excellent watch. I've had 3 samsung watches and this is by far the nicest. All the fitness features work great. You can customize which apps you use on your watch. There is so much you can do with this amazing piece of technology. There are numerous free watch faces to customize your watch. The one I selected gives you so much information at a glance. The watch has a great battery life. I love being able to answer my phone from the watch.
Recently there have been multiple price drops. It's a great time to get these super nice watches. Definitely get the protection plan. It more than pays for itself! It's how I was able to get this super nice watch.

Been wanting to buy a Samsung watch for the longest and finally I I did and I'm glad it was the Active 3. Best part about BestBuy they always have the best offers out there with good discounts here and there. Watch fits perfectly and it looks very nice.

This is my 2nd Samsung smartwatch I've owned. My 1st one was the original Galaxy Active I picked up on launch day, I love the active but hated the small display size.
This Galaxy watch 3 in 45mm is a big upgrade from my previous active watch. My watch I was using before this watch 3 model was the Fossil garret gen 5 smartwatch. The fossil is a great looking watch but wear os software is ok at best, and the watch required daily charging or a bump up mid day which was a pain...
I picked this galaxy watch 3 up new at a discounted price on launch day from best buy with overnite shipping. I do like the larger watch face of 45mm, but I do sort of wish they would have offered it in say a 48mm instead of the 45mm. I find the sleep tracking accurate, which I missed on the Fossil gen 5. The mic on this watch 3 picks up 95% of what I say which is great. And the built in speaker is average, a tad louder would of been great for calls in public places.
So far the only cons is for a fast charging watch, it takes a while to charge fully, especially compared to my fossi, smartwatch. The watch face choices are amazing, whether using Samsung's choices or Facer app. Also the charging speed could use a bump x2 for true fast charging. A larger battery size would of been a nice addition as well.
I can wait for the release of the update for blood pressure monitoring via the watch

I switch from an Apple Watch 3 to this galaxy watch. I am an iPhone 11 user and most features will work with this watch and iPhone. Although the Apple Watch pairs a lot better, I couldn’t get over the square body of the watch. I know it’s silly but I switched mainly for the cosmetic. But after having the Samsung watch and getting use to it, I’m liking it more and more. I love all the different screen displays that are available. For me, the only downside to pairing this watch with iPhone is that I can’t respond to text or answer phone calls. I’ll most likely switch back to Samsung phones next year anyways.

Great little watch- lots and lots of customization options to choose from on the watch faces.
Always keeps track of your daily/resting heart rate and can even check stress levels and oxygen blood levels.
I have gone through a ton of different "smart" watches and settled with this one. It has quirks, sometimes when it disconnects from the phone it won't reconnect automatically. When I reconnect it, everything including steps combine just fine and works as usual
Sometimes notifications come through twice and get a bit confusing but its few and far between.
Can respond to texts/answer calls/see emails and notifications. Yells at you to get up and moving (great feature, in my honest opinion)

I think this is the best smart watch on the market. Battery life is about 50 hours between charges, a downgrade from the original galaxy watch but not an issue. Easy to use and the sleep tracking is excellent. Work out detection is extremely accurate as well. If you have a galaxy phone this watch is a must have accessory.

Loving this watch. Better compatibility with my Samsung phone than my previous Fitbit watch. Easy pairing and setup of the watch with my phone. Watch is easily maintained and customized through the phone's built-in app. A Grade from me.

Fantastic upgrade from Watch2...apps function a lot more consistently. Also changed from Silver to Black and added some excellent bands. Ease of changing bands greatly improved. Battery seems to last approximately 30% longer than version 2.
