They find it easy to use and appreciate features like Samsung Pay, fitness tracking, and the ability to make and receive phone calls.

    It does every great thing my Gear 2 Neo did except that it looks like a really nice watch instead of a geek toy. Add a replacement watch band and you have function plus great style.

    Good Watch if you're distracted by Social Media.

    I love this watch because it allows for me to not look at my phone as often in the day and keeps me away from social media (in turn keeps my phone's battery high). However, app development for the Gear is slow and there are not as many apps as one would like (It has spotify though!). It does sync up with your phone decently (except for calendar...Kinda sucks rn as I need to manually sync it to my google cal). It also leverages Samsung Apps almost exclusively (calendar, mail, reminders, etc). Overall, Good but really expensive. Wouldn't really recommend to a friend unless they have the same problem of being on their phone too much.

    Love this watch... other than the size. Outt is a bit big and bulky for my small girl wrist. But live all the apps and the usability.

    Expert couldn't pair my LG V30+ to my Samsung Gear 3 smart-watch for texts. I get some notifications of texts but am not able to reply, compose, or send a text from my gear 3.

    I love my Gear S3. I don't wear my old watches. Phone calls are better on the gear 3 than on my S8.

    I Love this watch. I also own the Galaxy Gear 2 and there is no comparison. I love the always on feature because I got tired of having to shake my wrist to see what time it was. The only things I would change is somehow allow me to see my steps quicker. I have to scroll through too many screens to see my steps. The Samsung Pay app works, but sometimes, after I pay, the timer continues to count down on my watch asking me to put my watch near the terminal.

    I'm really satisfied with the the Gear S3, is a very lightweight smartwatch wiht lots of functions and interactions with my smartphone and brings me some facilities during the day. The information on screen are very clear, easy to read and you can personalize it according to your will or mood. The only point that I would suggest to Samsung review is the strap. In my opinion is too inflexible and in the first days of use it bothers a little bit

    I like the design. Feels like a real watch, but quite smart! Healthy battery life too. The only thing I don't like is that it won't skip fwd 13-30 seconds on podcasts.

    I had bought this as a gift for my fiancé and ever since he had received it, the ONLY time he takes it off is when he is around water for extra precaution. He loves the sleek design, the comfortable leather wrist band, access to his music, Being able to glance and reply to text messages, making and answering phone calls, the fitness tracker and so much more. Now keep in mind this comes from a very pickey man, and it seems to not let him down yet!
