    Love the watch looks classic but is of the modern age. The greatest feature is the notification layout it is easy right there at your wrist and it really dictates if the notification is worth pulling your phone out of your pocket.

    I love it!! I had to Gear S2 and was looking to upgrade. I didn't know if I should get this or wait until the new Galaxy watch came. I decided to go with the S3, and I'm glad I did! I love the larger size and the silver trim.

    This for my wife and she says it is the best fitness tracker she has ever had. She says it's like having a computer on her wrist. It is expensive but definitely well worth it. She claims that she cannot live one day without it. She loves it.

    I had originally bought my wife the S2 and she love it and was all the rave over it. when the S3 came out with the bigger screen and longer battery life, she just had to have it. She loves it. it's a little spendy, but it's an awesome watch.

    I bought this because I wanted a watch and was sick if wearing a Fitbit but didn't want to lose the features. Happy to say this watch does it all, counts steps , HR monitor, floors and also notification from your phone. Looks much better than a Fitbit especially when you're dressing up. I deducted one star because I had to purchase a different band.

    Cool sturdy watch with tons of options for bands and faces. Put a screen protector on and changed the bands to white for a more feminine look. Have had to reboot once because it was not taking watch face changes. Worked fine after that.

    The wife and I were looking for watches to track our physical activity. Tried Fitbit, Huawei, Motorola, 3elite, but this Gear S3 Classic is awesome, looks like a real (nice looking) watch but operates like a smart phone

    I love my watch and wear it every day. It looks nice and love the functions. I can track steps, text, view my calendar, and more. I only wish the battery lasted longer. I can only get about a day and a half out of a full charge.

    I am still learning how to use the watch, but I currently have enjoyed it. I do believe there is a lot more to learn. I wish they would have a better instruction manual with the watch. You need to be tech savy to use it to its potential

    great watch but android wear might be better OS

    It's a great watch but I still wonder if a tizen OS watch would be better just based on compatibility and app store options alone. Other than that, the water proofing works great and integration with my S7 is seamless. Wonder how it will work when I switch to the Google Pixel 2 or 3 when it comes out.... Google, need a beta tester?

    I love my new watch, it does everything I need it to do plus more. It is stylish for a dinner date with the leather band but also casual just by switching it to the nylon sport band. Recommended to all my friends and family

    I had been looking at smart watches for some time and even purchased a cheap Chinese one with much frustration. The techs at best buy explained the benefits and quality of the S-3 and I couldn't be happier with this watch.

    I LOVE IT! I wear it everyday. I depend on it more than my Samsung Phone. It is worth every penny. I changed the band to something more famine, but I love my watch. Excellent purchase.
