Samsung Gear S3 classic is my first smartwatch. I wasn't sure whether it would actually be useful when first evaluating. When the watch arrived I was pleased with the quality and appearance. Setup and initiation was easy and intuitive. It paired with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge automatically. I have used it more than I thought I would. Using it for notifications and simple texting is easy. Phone calls on the watch are adequate quality though volume is more challenging to control than it should be. Overall very pleased and Samsung Pay on the watch has worked amazingly well and continues to amaze clerks

Seamless integration if you are part of the samsung ecosystem, can't recommend it enough. Night and day different from a apple watch! Still learning all the functions, but it's great so far. Nice to get notifications without having to unholster your phone.

As an owner of the S2 classic I was enticed to pick this up when I bought the S8. The screen is bigger, battery life is better, the inclusion of a speaker on the watch is awesome. Being able to use your watch as a speaker is good in certain situations. Samsung Pay works well as expected.
I would like S Voice to be replaced with Bixby, and for more apps to be available on the Tizen platform. Besides that this is a nice upgrade from the S2 it is more sleek, elegant and classy looking time piece that can be customized with the right wrist strap for any occasion.

I intended to only replace my G2 that I had for almost 2 years with the same watch. The store clerk talked me into upgrading and I have been more than impressed. The best surprise was answering my phone from my watch. This was a great purchase.

I bought this watch as a gift for my bf. I was hoping to get one for myself but it's just too big for me. I'm not a tiny woman (I'm 5'10") but it's just that big of a watch. Don't get me wrong the features almost make it worth it. Almost. But, as I have wrist issues, I think the weight of it would just be too much.
That said HE LOVES IT!! Being able to take calls without touching his phone is handy - especially if a work call (or a gf call) comes in while he's at the gym. It's beautiful! The screen is so clear! And larger screen means larger buttons so for bigger fingers it's great. Overall we love it!! (I just wish there was a slightly smaller version for me.)

It looks very nice and it looks like a watch should look. Display is crisp and the functionality is an intuitive experience. Everything about it exceeds my expectations and has been a joy from the moment I put it on. No downside from my use.

Excellent design and flexibility are key attributes for this large but light weight watch. Check emails, answer or make calls, various health-fitness apps and watch faces are available. I'm very pleased with this Gear 3 Classic watch.

This is the funnest watch I have ever had. The clarity of taking a phone call on your wrist via bluetooth was outstanding. Battery life for a smart watch is great, however I use a darker screen for the watch face. I typically charge this about 20 minutes a day and sometimes have missed that and have not had a battery life issue. One down side is I will have to find the setting to extend the view of the watch face as when I check pulses I need to flip my wrist twice to see the second hand. This watch is just cool and I am glad I waited for this version!

Couldn't be happier. Received this for a birthday gift and this is an amazing piece of technology. The battery has lasted between 4-5 days with no issues. With the latest update, you can now make appointments directly on the watch.

Even an old man can work this great technology. I like getting text, email and phone notifications on my wrist as I can't hear my phone in my pocket. Works great and easy to use. I keep watch face always on and charge at night.

This was an upgrade from my previous Moto 360 smartwatch. Needless to say, the S3 is a far superior watch. I'm extremely impressed with the battery life, even if I make calls from it during the day. The speaker is clear, and my wife said it's just as clear as my blutooth connection in my car. I purchased a stainless steel band that matched perfectly. I own many Samsung products, and this watch carries the same quality I've come to expect from Samsung.

I do love this watch. The battery life is good. It's not the whole flat face . It has depth so it looks like a real watch. The only downfall is the lack of apps. I wish it had more widgets. Love the watch though.

Once i found out about this watch i knew i had to get one. i have been a big fan of Samsung products and have not been let down not once. I've been looking into buying a everyday watch and wanted something that i can use for many years with multiple outfits. With the Samsung gear S3 i get that and more. It has a sporty look yet can go with business attire. the strap is a bit thick for my small wrist but the interchangeable straps suit me better. Its very easy to use the apps are simple and its easy to set up with everyone needs. I use mine to not be on my phone so much. Its definitely a good item for any occasion. I work in a restaurant and it definitely helps having all my emails and text messages right in my eye sight. Over all with the device I'm very happy with it.

The watch is awesome for receiving phone calls. My wife does not have to worry about pulling her cell phone out of her purse to check text messages or when receiving phone calls. Able to check weather on my watch.

I purchased 2 watches. My husband loves his. Great battery. I only have to charge It every 2 to 3 days. It nicely tracks biking, walks, daily steps and a bunch of other activities. Doesn't accurately track the stairs I climb daily tho. I can climb 4 flights of stairs and it will count 1 if any at all. Sent samsung an email and got no response. I have read several reviews and it seems to be that way with all their watches. I like that I can read and reply to texts fr the watch. The microphone on the watch could be a better. It's difficult for the person I'm calling to hear me. There are limited apps that u can access thru the watch. I haven't tried many of the apps. Yelp and Samsung pay work great.

I recently had an iPhone and I watch series 2. I liked them both really well but I really like the Samsung note 8 paired with this watch. It looks great, the battery life is excellent and it functions well.

I absolutely love my Samsung gs3. It does all that I want. I can track my step, water intake, sleep and other activities. It reminds me to be active if I sit still too long, with recommendations. I can answer and make calls without having to have bluetooth. It does not look nor feel super bulky on my arm (I am a female). It is super convenient. The charge can last 2-3 days. If you use multiple apps and get notifications like I do all day, it only last a day and a half.
