    A step up from Watch Active2

    I'm a long time user of Samsung Smart Watches since the Gear Fit. Just prior to this watch I had a Galaxy Watch Active2, and this new watch works mostly the same way. It had the same features pretty much, including ECG/EKG (note this may not be the same as getting an EKG in doctor's office, so I wouldn't skip that if needed; I am speaking from family experience here). Another useful for me feature is stress monitoring, it alerts me with a 'stress insight' during high stress situations, and yesterday when stress stayed high for hours, I think it was an indirect reminder that i missed my dose of beta blocker that day (because i did). What was also nice about this watch compared to the Watch Active2, is that it has the rotating bezel, which makes navigating the screen and scrolling easier. Also, the buttons on the side are 'more substantial' than the watch active2 (I noticed the top button turns, but i'm not yet sure what that is for).

    Love the look of the watch and the rotating bezel. Not a fan of the leather band so purchased the Best Buy silicone one which fits great on my larger wrist. Watch is a step up from the Galaxy active 2 I own but still prefer the color and band on the active 2.

    I love everything about this watch, "EXCEPT" the watch band that it came with. I have a small wrist and the band would not fit, not even at the last hole. I initailly wanted the Active 2 watch, but that band was just as bad. I think it was meant for me to get this more expensive watch because the mesh magnetic band that I had on my other watch (Galaxy S3 Classic Frontier) fit perfectly!! The other issue I have, (my friend whose old watch was the same as mine, also bought this watch as well when I told and showed her the watch) is the notifications that's supposed to show on the watch and it is set to show on my watch but it doesn't appear like it did on the Galaxy S3 Classic Frontier. When we texted each other, right next to each other, no notification appeared on the watch. (that sucks!) I even had my daughter text me, and nothing...it totally defeats the purpose of having the watch in the first place. (Oh well) Overall, minus those two issues, I don't regret buying this watch.

    Love this watch. As a former FitBit owner I wasn't sure I'd like the Galaxy. After a few months I'm happy I tried the Galaxy. Watch pairs easily with my phone and headset. I did replace the band with a slimmer more feminine style but the original band is very sturdy.

    Enjoy this watch very much: good out of the box watch faces and excellent functions. Most used are Timer, for cooking, Sleep, Biking, Heart Rate. Turned most notifications off, annoying. Perfect size, looks great, easy recharge, good battery life.

    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.

    I had my Galaxy S3 watch and the battery stopped giving me a full day's charge... so I upgraded. Much better battery, apps, and all around functionality. I do suggest that everyone that gets a smart watch to get the extended warranty! It is very very worth it!

    Love it! I use it to monitor health status (heart beat, blood pressure). Once (hopefully only once) it saved my life by notifying me that my heart beat was way too fast. So I now where it all the time.

    After 3 yeas of purchasing the Samsung Galaxy watch3. I have been impressed with its performance and features. I wouldn't be much of a fan of the speaker, they are quiet good. Obviously you would expect the same quality than a speaker.

    The watch works great. Not a single issue on functionality. Plus it’s easy to use as well. All pretty straightforward. The only downside is the leather band it comes with. The older versions had a rubber one which personally I liked better. They were a bitter wider and felt more solid. But beyond that it’s a great watch.

    A Step Up. Mind your head on the price ceiling...

    Coming from the GW 46mm LTE watch (thing was a monster in many senses of the word), I was a wee bit skeptical as to the changes this one would bring. With a lack of information and comprehensive reviews about features and battery life, the new sensors and health capabilities pushed me to take this dive. It was honestly worth it. Having enjoyed my previous watch, this delivers the same user experience, with MORE. The day I got this, the spO2 feature was unlocked- one that I would start to use religiously due to COVID-19. While I'm still waiting for the blood pressure/ekg functionality (unless I missed it somewhere...), even the HR sensor is much more refined. Adding to that, the profile. The profile of this watch is just... minimal in the best ways. Unlike the GW LTE, this is definitely a watch you can wear to sleep, and forget you're wearing it altogether. Now, for the elephant in the room: battery life. While I'm a 'heathen' who does not believe in the almighty AoD, I can get this thing to last me 3 days with my normal use, 3 and a half if I push it. This is with at least a 1-hour workout every day, multiple spO2 readings, responding to texts, and nightly sleep tracking. While the GW could easily carry me through a week, 3-3.5 days? Not bad at all. I could see a maximum of 2-2.5 days with heavy use, though. This is a great smartwatch to add to your Samsung ecosystem if it is your first, and a solid option to upgrade (only if you are going to use the vastly improved health features). Honestly, I would wait for a sale if you are money conscious, as on its own, the price is a tad high. And on an ending note, the added storage space will make a difference and better future-proof this watch (because updates and OS/UI upgrades will take up space! There was only ~1GB left on my GW with only 2 watch faces installed).

    this watch has worked great. Battery life is giving me about 1 to 2 days of real usage. the ECG works on this phone where it didn't on others. Watches are getting expensive but this seems to be worth the money

    More dressy looking

    Perceptually, this watch looks and on my wrist feels smaller than the 44mm Active 2. It doesn’t have the “built like a tank” look of the previous models; more dressy looking. Battery drain with the “ Always On” mode ON is significant. In an unscientific test, I fully charged the watch and then wore it from 8AM to 8AM with Do Not Disturb set from 9PM to 4:30AM. At of this 24 hours, the Galaxy Wearable app on my Note 10+ showed 24% charge and 16 hours 20 minutes remaining. Recharging the watch from the 23% th full charge took 2 hours 10 minutes. The next day I repeated the test with the “Always On” mode OFF. At the end of this 24 hours, the app showed 68% charge and 1 day 54 minutes remaining. Obviously, if you charge the watch every night, the heavy battery usage is not a concern, but is you are looking for extended time between charges, it is best to leave the “Always ON” mode in the OFF (default) position. Lastly, do not consider a glass screen protector for this watch. The face is not set as deeply,y below the bezel as on the previous watches so a protector will not fit.

    I am new to a smartwatch but have used fitness trackers for past years (most recent Samsung Galaxy Fit). The Watch3 is comfortable to wear and provides a lot of functions at my finger tips. I work out regularly with a heart monitor and the Watch3 provides a variety of exercise methods to select from while capturing heart rate similar to Orange Theory Fitness heart monitor. I play golf and previously used a Garmin S20 GPS Golf Watch to provide details on the course. With the Watch3 I am able to use Arccos golf app that is synchronized with the phone app while playing. I get almost 2 full days on the battery. The Watch3 has allowed me to reduce from 3 different devices down the one.

    I've tried various smart watches but have always come back to wanting to try Samsung. Its pricey, but love that it stays connected, lasts a couple days, simple to use, display is great, and notifications come in exactly as needed. I don't really need much other than that but have enjoyed the sleep tracker info as it's interesting to see how the sleep score relates to how I feel when I wake up. Not really sure what it's measuring but still something to think about. Bottom line is it does all I want and need plus other stuff I don't need right now but someday may find worthy of exploration. The size is also something that works for my skinny wrists without looking completely awkward.
