    In the weeks that I have had it in truth I can assure you that it was an excellent purchase. I like how it synchronizes with my S8 + and it is very intuitive. Pro: Water approval, good battery life, good performance. Maybe my criticism would be the limitation of Ram and Rom memory space and few apps. But the rest I recommend it. I liked buying the watch physically at the Best Buy store and including its good protection plan offered by Best Buy, which is quite good.

    I love the customization feature of the gear s3. It's like having a new watch every day. Only down side for me has been the band. For the price a nicer band should be included as opposed to the rubber one.

    I chose this over the apple watch, the only down fall is the lack of apps, but not a deal breaker. I wear it everyday.

    I purchased this watch for my father for Christmas 2017. My dad has a Samsung phone and I have the iPhone and a Apple Watch series 2. I would much rather have the Gear S3 than my Apple Watch. I like how the bezel turns to select items and I also like the bigger screen and the sturdiness of the Gear S3 Watch. Gear S3 is an extremely well built watch and I had no problems syncing the watch up to the phone. Very straight forward and easy watch to set up and use.

    So far exceeded my expectations....

    ... but only because I got this watch on sale. I definitely do not think this watch should cost anywhere near $300 MSRP. It is a connected watch, but to call it smartwatch is a stretch.. It shows notifications, a fitness tracker and has nice screen - that's it. Since app selection is non-existent and there is no nice assistant like Google Assistant - this is a dumb connected fitness tracker with notifications - but very good one!

    A Gift for Dad

    I purchased this as a gift for my father and I gave it to him on Father's Day at brunch and before we could make it home, he had already set the watch up directly out of the wrapper. My father isn't the most tech savvy, but he was able to set it up and work it within the hour. The only downfall to the watch is that if you don't have a Samsung phone, then you have some limited capabilities or workarounds. I didn't hear this in any of the advertising. My father loves this watch.

    originally was given a different wearable as a gift, but decided to exchange for the G3, and I'm very glad that I did. It does everything I need and is very easy to change settings and apps.
