    I love this watch. Great battery life, love not pulling my phone out all the time to check the notifications. But the best feature is Samsung Pay with my watch. Works great for NFC and the old MST readers. Although you get a lot of funny looks when you hold your watch up to the reader.

    Excellent watch with interface to my phone. Only issue is that the band is a bit too small. Need an extra large option. Did order a 3rd party stainless steel band.

    The first thing about this watch is it looks nice. It functions well, but the App store leaves much to be desired. The battery life is great, I can go about 3 days on one charge. If i had to chose again I think I would have went with a different smart watch, the App store doesn't support the functions I was looking for when I bought this, like Google Maps Navigation support.

    I converted from apple. I tonight there is no better watch than watch (i tried samsung and motorola before). Apple Watch was the reason it took me forever to switch back to android. But S3 is amazing. It does it all and more. I didn't like the band it came with. So stiff and not girly. I bought classic to go with my rings. Even though think frontier looks cooler. I bought new bands from Amazon. Red and white and the watch looks amazing. Always get compliments! One thing I miss is that you can't scribble replies yo messages. But you can preset texts. My husband got one too. Great for working out too

    Best Smartwatch for an Android

    I've owned many Android Wear smartwatches over the years. None of them felt right. I think part of the adoption gap is battery life. It's hard to commit to a device that you have to charge every night when it's not your phone. After turning off the fitness features I don't use I get anywhere from three to four days out of it. I also never had a SPECIFIC purpose for the watch. You're probably not going to use the watch if you don't have a purpose when you buy it. I initially picked up the Gear S3 for MST based Samsung Pay. This is the mobile payment technology that works even at merchants that don't support mobile payments yet. I wanted this feature for the security aspect, and result of looking cool is just a side effect. It's the best watch I've ever had to date. The only thing I wish this watch had is Google Assistant. That's the only thing that would make it better.

    I don't have to look at my cell phone in meetings anymore. I can get important messages and E-mails right from my watch. Tracks me exercise every day and the golf app I added tells me where I am in reference to the middle of the green at all time. Charge lasts almost 3 full days.

    This watch is great and syncs well with my S9+ perfectly. I get a full day and then some out of a charge, probably can get more out of it if I tweak the settings but I like the always on face. Bands are easy to change for a different look as well.

    All other smartwatch makers should use this as the foundation for what a smartwatch should be. It looks classy and classic. It performs its functions without you having to tell it to, and it is easy to change the look by changing bands. I give it an 10 out of 10.

    I bought this watch but was not real crazy about the tizen operating system but the upgrades that they have done to it makes it worth taking a serious look at this watch. I really enjoy the widget aspect and then watch itself just feels quality made. I would recommend this. although the first one I bought had a button defect, I took it back to BestBuy and swapped it out and then learned at my return privileges after this has been revoked. Guess I'll be buying my next piece of Hardware from Amazon, Best Buy you really need to rethink this policy.

    Second one I have. Worked well for years and when the battery starting going I used the warranty to get a new one. A pleasure to have it again. 3 to 4 days of use before charge and beautiful look.

    I had a Gear 2 , i wanted a better watch , bigger face , used ordinary strap . I talked to the wearable devices people at Best Buy , i got my answers & bought it. They helped clear / purge old 1. Then helped set up my new 1. I like it , has gotten me several compliments, which is always a +. I am not using all the health app can do , but helps me keep moving , just the same .
