    Just Awesome

    This an awesome watch. Love the features. Use it every day to track my steps and exercises. Works great as a phone when I was in my attic doing work and the phone on the kitchen table, the phone rang and I answered the call with the watch. Very clear and I was able to continue working while talking with the caller. Ordered a larger wristband as the OEM one was barely large enough for my wrist. Alerts on the watch are great and don't have to pick up the phone to respond to texts or emails. I have it paired with the Galaxy Note 8 phone. Highly recommend this watch.

    I would say that I love my S3 but it is actually a hard like. Really easy interface and lots of great apps all ready to use. However, there are a couple of glitches, the location stopped working after a few days and sometimes the graphics get too large and I have to reboot. I love the convenience of not having to pull my phone out every time the phone rings or I get a text.

    This item is the third one I Buy. All the same model, I do not wear them. I gave them away for Christmas to my adults kids, they all claim to have found the perfect wearable as they all have Samsung smartphones, the smooth configuration and full bag of utilities pleases them. Highly recommended

    I bought this to react faster to urgent work emails. It does the job. I can see an email come in, quickly see who it is from and the subject line, and then decide if I need to react further. The watch band is a little funky. Also, I have a smallish body frame, and the watch face is big. Recently tried tracking my cycling. Works well for that. Gives me heart bbm.

    I purchased this watch for the step counter, the ability to view/receive emails, texts and calls at a glance... and of course the time, and all of those things work easily. It's easy to use and fully customizable from the watch faces to the band to the order that your apps appear. I frequently take calls on it. The calls are clear and you don't have to talk loud for your caller to hear you. Truly a fun and useful gadget. I thought the face was going to be too big but it's perfrct. I love it. I get a lot of compliments on it and have recommended it to others already.

    I really loved this watch especially all of the great apps available. The only Con I have is that is was a open box item and one of the buttons just fell out so I had to return it. With that being said please add the geek squad protection if purchased.

    I previously owned a 1st gen Moto 360 and used it for years. Lately the battery had become less reliable and the stress fractures on the back of the watch had gotten worse. Picked up the Gear S3 and loving it so far. Mine in the bluetooth only version but I don't need another service line and I'd rather have my phone for the more intensive apps anyhow. With heavy notifications I get about 2 1/2 to 3 days of battery before recharging which is amazing compared to my old Moto and with the added use of Samsung pay it's been a convenience. I'd definitely recommend it.

    My other IPad was six years old. I am into photography so this device takes great pictures, plus I can use photoshop on a tablet, which enables me to do more. I don't have to mess with a mouse to lasso parts of the photo; now I can use the mac pencil.

    Love, love love this watch, as a smaller woman it looked quite large in my wrist but still love it. The apps it has are great as well as the health monitoring but battery life after almost a year of owning it is horrible, have to charge twice a day

    Great New Watch

    I had the Gear 2 NEO and was very excited to get this new Gear S3 Classic. It has several new features, like WiFi GPS and Altimeter. I really enjoy the automatic sleep tracking. I used to forget to activate sleep tracking on my old watch several times a week.

    If you're in the market for a smart watch look no further. This thing is amazing! It took me a while to fork over the price but once I got a hands on with this device for about 10 minutes, I knew I had to have it. There's waaay too many features to name in this review but I will say, if you are indecisive about which one to get, the Silver Classic is a bit more elegant. I went in for the Frontier but once that shiny steel bezel hit my wrist, I knew I was done. Try one on first then make the decision but you will surely love this watch...hands down!

    I received the Gear 3 for my birthday. It was a surprise gift from my wife and son. It is excellent. I love the multiple displays and the easy way to move to apps and notifications. It can do much more than I expected. I'm very satisfied with it.

    I like the choices of wrist bands. I like the music and message apps. I like the wireless charger. I was thinking about getting a fitness watch, now I have that too. I had a LoopPay fob and I liked the convenience of it, and now my watch has the same MST technology. I put the watch on the charger each night and I haven't had a day that the battery went below 40 percent. There's a nice selection of watch faces, and the display isn't too bad for my 50 year old eyes. I don't like that the notifications disappear before I can pick up my arm to see them, then I have to chase through the menus to find out what the notification was. I had one problem with my phone thinking it was connected to the watch, but the watch said it wasn't and they would not talk. I have the Classic, I don't know about the 4G function of the Frontier.

    This watch is good, but it has a hard time measuring steps on an elliptical exercise machine, which is frustrating. Also, I wish it was waterproof and could be used to measure swimming. I had a lot of money on a gift card, so I didn't pay full price, which is why I didn't return it. If I would have had to pay full price, this wouldn't be worth the money.

    Great item. Love talking to people from my wrist. Sound a little low, but they can hear you crystal clear on other end. Could use a little more customization options and free faces, apps etc...Overall though it is fast, fun and fantastic.
