    My GS2 Classic was a nice watch, but it sometimes would lock up and the battery sometimes wouldn't make it all day. My new GS3 Classic is a lot faster, doesn't lock up and the battery is still at 80% charge when I go to bed. It's a little bit larger in size, but it's not bad, overall I think the watch is awesome. I would recommend it to a friend.

    Got this for Christmas and it blows away the battery life of my old gear S3. I can go 4 days from 100% to close to zero without a charge. I get all the notifications I choose and can talk on the phone through my watch. Get geek protection to replace your investment if needed.

    The classic has a fantastic look and the screen is crisp and clear. The dial around the bezzel makes it very easy to use. I upgraded from the moto 360 2nd gen. I do miss the wrist gestures that android wear had and google voice. Other than that the gear s3 classic is better in every way.

    This is a wonderful tool sadly it has some limitations. Needs better software for navigating and better capabilities for voice command. Needs more choices for programs(Apps). Thank You DJF

    So much awesome packed into a tiny space. This watch is next generation with the ability to appear classic but not I. What I like about this smart watch 1. You can talk over watch phone call 2. Multitude of apps available 3. Looks like a standard watch physically 4. Water resistant 5. Feature rich 6. Sensors to measure health vitals 7. Watch face highly customizable What I can't stand is battery life. Sure you can stretch out battery life by disabling features. With all the cool features enabled I was getting 12 hours of play time. WiFi, BY, GPS, always on display and wrist gestures. With just the BT enabled I can get 48hr. If you take advantage of all the hardware features battery life will be short lived. I still recommend.

    When is a watch not a watch? When it is a Samsung!

    How can you call this a watch? It does so much stuff that it should be listed as a computer for your wrist. But really all joking aside this is an amazing watch. The build quality is nice and there are so many accessories for it. Want to make calls through your watch? Buy a Gear 3. Want to listen to music from your watch? Buy a Gear 3. Want to know what your heart rate is at all times? Buy a Gear 3. No really just buy this amazing device called a Samsung Gear 3!

    I own a Samsung Gear S2, and upgraded to this S3 for the S Health app improvements. I wanted a watch with GPS to more accurately track my steps and stairs. It works perfectly! I have also been tracking my sleep patterns, which is important to me. I bought a charger for my work location so I will never worry about the battery. Bottom line, I'm really happy with this purchase.

    As a female it looked a little large, however I added in a pretty watch face (you can upload so many) and then replaced the black band with a pretty white one to make it feminine. I get all my stats for my work outs, have used the S-Voice to request actions, answered txts and a phone call! I just love it. Was easy to set up, even for a 71 year old!

    I have read reviews and researched all smart watches. The Gear S3 is the best smart watch hands down! I love that it runs"Tizen" instead of android wear. It also has a speaker in which a lot of smatwatches don't. It is also very stylish and V ersitle to any dress occassion with its wide variety of watch faces

    I had a moto 360 2nd edition that died and I upgrade to this since moto is no longer available. So far the Gear s3 classic is fantastic. I highly recommend downloading "WatchMaker" http://www.getwatchmaker.com it is by far the best app for custom watch faces. Premium version is only a few bucks and is amazing. The dial works great and is very easy to use. I do miss the wrist gestures that wear os (moto 360) had.

    Love my watch! I have a samsung note 4 and the setup was easy. It is very user friendly. I work in the medical field and I am able to access the calender and calculator (for minor conversions) easily and you can also play games such as Fruit Ninja. No complaints so far!

    This is the best watch for what I was looking for. You can make and receive phone calls as well as get and send texts. It step counter and heart rate monitor are not as accurate as I expected but that's not why I got it. I can also control my music

    The rotating bevel is an ingenious idea to use on this smart watch. I love the interface, how easy it is to connect with apps on my smartphone, and the surprisingly large amount of apps and watchfaces that can be downloaded to the watch.

    I previously owned an Apple watch. But I switched to a Samsung phone, and I finally broke down to get a Samsung Gear S3 to compliment it. This watch is THE best! I love it more than I loved my Apple watch.
