    I recently purchased this watch to go along with my Galaxy S9+. I had previously had a Pebble watch and thought it was very useful, but the Samsung Gear just blew it away. I don't have to even look at my phone anymore, as the integration between the phone and watch is incredibly good. I can make and receive calls, create text messages with voice and send them. Know what my heart rate is, pay for purchases at stores with my watch, control my music while walking/running, There are too many features to even go into, and I doubt that I would use them all, but it is nice to know they are there!

    Absolutely love the look of the Samsung GearS3 Frontier. It is extremely durable and the layout and customizability is extroardinary. I personally think it beats the iWatch.

    I absolutely love my new Gear S3! First off, I'm a female and was really having a hard time deciding to even purchase this watch. It is very "manly" and big. But then I got over that whole, "it's a manly watch" thing & just went for it. One of my guy friends had it and I was very intrigued with all the features. I never really used watches to begin with but I really wanted to try it out. I am super happy with my purchase, I love that I can change the bands. I use the black one it came with and another more feminine one that I purchased on Amazon. I use many of the apps on the watch and have nothing to complain about. I love it!

    This Samsung smartwatch works very well with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Most options available even when untethered to my smartphone. Wifi use makes it an even greater device.

    Works well for what it is for a smart watch. However, not that good as a fitness tracker unless you are running/walking outside for the GPS to track your distance. Also, the heart rate monitor don't like to pick up if you are sweating or have a higher heart rate from running.

    This is much better than the Motorola watch that I previously was using. Battery life is twice as long and I am using it with the watch face on full time. The apps are useful.

    2nd best smart watch I've used

    Nice watch overall. As others have mentioned, the rotating bezel is great! Much nicer than the interface found on other watches, including the Apple Watch. My only gripe or concern is that often times while jogging using the running app it thinks I've stopped. While I can see why it would think that sometimes it seems too sensitive. Even when I switched to using the walking option it thought I had stopped so it seems like if your arms are not swinging it thinks you've stopped so I swing my arms as much as possible. Seems like the tech should be a little more advanced than this but most everything else works very well.... though Samsung Pay was not working initially and it took the Best Buy Samsung specialist about an hour to get it to work but he did so I'm good.... While the Apple Watch worked flawlessly (as did my iPhone), this watch is more fun to use (as is my Note 8)....tradeoffs I suppose.

    I love the battery life, average 3 days on a charge. Speaker works great, I’ve taken phone calls on it no problem. My only disappointment is the accuracy of the GPS. I’m a runner and so far it’s been off 30-40% (run 4.0 miles watch shows 2.3 miles).

    Great Smart Watch Sucky Fitness Tracker

    If you want a smartwatch with access to your phone to make/take calls, make/receive texts, this watch is great. Fitness tracking is horrible, I have the Samsung S8, and it does a pretty good job, I bought this to replace my Fitbit that was finally wearing out. I can run and the S8, and the fitbit will have very similar results (the fitbit showed 88 minutes, and 11.6 miles, the S8 showed 91 minutes and 11.4 miles while the actual was 11.5 miles and a time of 93 minutes) . This watch showed 31 minutes and 1.32 miles, I took it back and had it replaced and for the same run, it will show anything from 23 minutes to 79 minutes (in two or three segments) and anywhere from 1.6 to 3.4 miles. It will end your workout if you wipe your face too long, and it will end your workout if you simply turn around and go back (with no stopping) I bought another fitbit for fitness tracking, and I use this watch for connectivity.

    This was a gift for my son and so far he loves it. Lately he had become used to not using a watch and relying on his phone but that has changed. He says he loves the watch and all it's features from fitness to notifications. The other day he ordered UBER from his watch.
