    Samsung did a very good job with this version of the Smart watch. The Tizen operating system has been much improved. I find myself actually referring to the watch more than my actual phone. The integration is almost seamless. Waiting on third parties to develop more apps for the Samsung Gear. I don't like the stock texting app and my favorite texting app wasn't working well with the watch. I downloaded and installed Notifications for Gear and the Textra app and they are working out well for now.

    Got my classic S3 last week, and I been amazed with its capabilities. Text messaging is easy, you can hand write words or use the old-school cellphone keyboard. Call quality is a 4/5, easy to understand, gets a bit quiet in loud environments, like a room full of people. S health app is pretty accurate as far as steps, stairs, and exercising. The assortment of watch faces is astounding. You'll find something that pleases you. I would like to see more apps and widget variety for the watch.

    Got the watch instead of an android wear one just because of Samsung pay. The watch does what I expected from it. Wish it was an android wear instead of tizen but works great with my nexus phone.

    Love this watch! Was a favorite device. Used it to pay for everything with the magnet payment. Started getting glitchy after 27 months. Was loosing all charge after an hour. Either be fine for days. Then repeat days in a row unless on battery saver mode. Tried reset few times. No luck. Traded it in to Samsung for a new Galaxy 3. Love it as well. Just miss the magnet for payments.

    We bought this for my Hubby for Fathers Day . He is very particular about his watches , uses a lot of alarms etc. Needs a "wear everyday" watch. If we went out somewhere he would have to change watches , not anymore very stylish ! He never seems to be in the same space as his cell phone though , this watch fit the bill perfectly updated tech and even got him moving a bit more . It is perfect for all ages as it can be customized for the person . I would recommend for anyone

    Excellent watch. My Fitbit Charge HR suddenly stopped working. After not getting the best customer service, I decided to see what the S3 was all about. After seeing all the features that this watch had, it was a no brainier. I was hesitant that it would be too large for my wrist, but it surprisingly isn't. I got used to it within 30 minutes. It's compatible with my Pixel too. I've gotten so many compliments too! Best purchase by far!! Excellent watch. Thanks Samsung.
