    My husband got Gear S3 and loves it. I like it too and want one for myself but it is very big and looks huge on me. I wish there was a more feminine option.

    If you are looking for a device that has lots of apps and games and stuff then this watch is not for you. It is however a nice quality device that has a ton of watch face options, health options, and workout options. I get an easy 2 days of battery life. It is legit water proof in the shower and rain (and up to 3 feet of water for 30 mins but I aint doing it lol) . It doesn't have 5 stars b/c YOU CANT FIND BANDS FOR IT ANYWHERE IN REAL LIFE & honestly I'm just wanting more out of the battery life. I constantly wonder why there hasn't been one single smartwatch that utilizes kinetic energy. Also the bands you can find irl are at bestbuy..a ugly green rubbery band and a ugly blue rubbery band. I got a great open box deal on this watch and it was in absolute flawless condition when I checked it out prior to purchasing it.

    I have found this watch even more useful than I thought it would be. Being able to quickly reply to texts and even Hangout messages from the watch has been great. I usually have my phone sitting on my desk at work. I can control the music that I stream from my phone to my Bluetooth speaker without having to touch the phone. My only complaint is the floor counter doesn't work at all. I walk up and down stairs all day, but they never register. I have had false readings while driving telling me I climbed a flight of stairs. Other than that I would highly recommend this smartwatch.

    I really like this watch it works very smoothly and the battery life is great! Androids different watch face software made this a lot of fun to customize and make your very own my only compliant is the lack of watch band options

    I did a lot of research before making this purchase and there was a not a lot of current reviews. I tested the demo model and was impressed enough to buy it. I have been very impressed with the functions and the comfort of the watch. I never found watch bands comfortable but I can wear this watch and it never really bothers me at all. The ability to type on my watch to answer texts or messengers is nice as well as voice commands so I do not have to get my phone for short messages. The customization for the watch faces is nice as well and there health apps are nice as well.

    I bought this watch for my husband and even though the voice input for the text messages hasn't worked it's because the new update hasn't been able to fix it. Just waiting for Samsung to fix that glitch but everything else is great, battery last long

    I initially walked into Best Buy to look for a watch compatible with my iPhone 7. I spoke to a couple reps there and told me that the Samsung S3 would be compatible with my iPhone but wouldn't be able to receive calls. Mmmm, I said I'm okay with that. Don't want everyone hearing my conversations either way I ended up buying it. I liked the round face and the color display is awesome. I got home and started setting it up but came to find out that I wasn't Able to reply to text either. That's one thing I didnt like. Luckily my wife had a Samsung phone, she tried it and liked it. She kept it and I went and bought a Apple Watch. I wish Apple had the same type of color display screens and round watches. My wife and I ageee they the Samsung watch looks a little more manly and the Apple a little more lady like. But either way, they both look pretty cool.

    Looks good on a small wrist despite larger watch size. Love the many watch faces you can choose. Great for quick check of email/text with a flick of the wrist.

    The Samsung - Gear S3 Frontier - It's great, even from an Apple user. It pairs with my iPhone X without a problem. I considered Apple's smartwatch, but, I could read the S3 much easier. I find that the presentation of the programs are easier for me to see, read and select, as opposed to the way Apple presents them. The Gear S3 first caught my eye, simply with its appearance, and I really like the rugged construction as well. I've been using my watch for about a month, and I've had no problems and I've been very satisfied with my selection.

    Upgraded from the Gear S2 and am very pleased with the larger screen, more precise auto-tracking features, and notched dial. The battery lasts 2-3 days, as opposed to only 1-2 with the S2. Would not pay more than $300, but it was worth it on sale.
