    I am happy to be an owner of this watch as it supports MST. Mobile payments on the go couldn't been any easier with the Gear S3. Functionally, it is as good as any other fitness tracker but since it can act as a standalone music player, I can leave my phone at home. Sad to see newer watches don't support MST for contactless payment, so I'm glad to have bought this.

    Nice smart watch to have in the collection. Works via Bluetooth, and quite well. Notifications, phone calls, all that stuff works fine. Battery life is decent.

    I bought this for my husband. He is not technically savay. He was able to go through every aspect if the menu and set up his watch face and other apps he needed or wanted with little to no help. .He is a paramedic ,so he loves how rugged it is in any situation. It is able to be in any weather and sustain everyday bumps that go with his job. I also love the ease of charging it. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    First Galaxy watch I own. I previously used used the Moto 360 first generation, for 3 years, I loved it. I decided to buy it because it liked the look and it was time for an update. Works fantastic, very user friendly. The look is very sophisticated in my opinion. The two down sides are that when you answer phone calls from the watch you have to speak directly to it, which is kind of cheesy since it looks like I am 007 and people listen to your convo. But the watch has an option to change it to the phone or headphones. Battery life is great on the watch but does drain the battery on my Galaxy S7 EDGE. Besides that, great purchase!

    The gear s3 is a really great looking watch. Very sturdy. I have no difficulties using it with my Note 5. I can reply to texts and calls easily. It has very good voice typing to reply to emails. The handwriting to typed words is very good but a little slow to do. I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it. Only major con is that it is not using Android Wear. The Tizen OS is really good. It is easy to use and I have never had a problem with it. It just means some major apps I use on my phone are not available on the S3. I would still recommend it as it is a great watch, just wish some of my favorite apps were on it.

    This is my second smartwatch after owning the Moto360 first gen for about two years. My experience has been awesome, it is a really good looking watch and the navigation via rotating bezel is unbeatable. It works with any Android phone but it pairs better with a Samsung device, specially because S Health, and some other Samsung apps like Email and Messaging. I totally recommend this product to anyone looking to have a smartwatch.

    I bought this as an open box purchase and could not be more pleased with the condition of the watch. In addition, I love the watch. It has all the options I expected and was also able to download a golf app that also worked great on the watch. Best Buy also worked with me to get the watch to my local store and gave me the sale price advertised on their web site the week before. Great customer service!

    I enjoy my Samsung Gear S3 but only complaint is size is just a little big for my tastes. It does more than I have ever figured out and what I do know how to do works well.
