    Very difficult to use as a smart watch. Very confusing. Doesn't work well as far as pairing to the phone. Works great as a watch but that, of course, is not what I bought it for. My old pebble watch was easier to use and worked better.

    I really like this watch. It is very stylish, looks like a real watch, and performs well. All tracking features like steps, floors climbed, heart rate, work exceptionally well. Easy to sync with my phone and I never miss an alert. Using the dial to select what you want to look at is much easier than using a button. Also, the call and text features work surprisingly well. The battery only last about 3 days but otherwise it is an awesome watch.

    Upgrade from Fitbit Surge

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had a Fitbit Surge for about 2 years, I really liked it but then the band broke. I decided to upgrade to the Gear S3. I purchased an "Open Box" watch, same warranty, mess less expensive, worth every penny. I especially like being able to answer a call on the watch when I would be able to hold my phone in my hand. Getting all my emails and texts on the watch helps me decide if I want to read them now or later on my phone. So far, great product!

    Love that finally I have a smart watch that actually looks like a watch. It's a little bulky and I wish you could remove Samsung pay, but otherwise I'm very happy with the watch.

    Very happy with my S3, i wear it everyday for work and fitness. The only down fall is that it doesn't hold a charge for 4 days, the most it holds is 2 1/2 days, but other wise Great watch.

    This watch has a nice look, classic design. Looks more like a professional style watch than the squared look of most smart watches or an old LED style. Rotating bezel design that duplicates touch screen navigation is nice. Watch and band are a little bulky, but for all that is in this mall package it's nice, will probably get a slimmer band (supplied one is very thick leather for a watch in my opinion), can't really imagine the screen being smaller and able to easy see or navigate. Overall real happy with it. Lots of free and paid watch faces available. Health tracking and phone + music control real nice features. Amazing technology

    Bought this for my grandma because she wants a smart watch that looked like a normal watch but still could tell her her heart rate and fitness like steps, stairs, sleeping patterns , etc. this watch had all the features she wanted and more! Now this 76 year old is sporting her Samsung gear around with her messages being displayed on her wrist while she keeps track of how much excercise she got done in the day! Such a great purchase!
