    This watch runs for days without recharging and tolerates the shower well. S voice can be a problem, but set voice recognition to UK English and you'll be good to go!

    I truly enjoy my watch. I have waiting and researching on getting a smart watch for a while now. I found a Gear 2 on clearance for a great price but you can not talk on it. Then Best Buy had a sale on the Gear 3 and I could not pass it up. I can hear and talk on it with no problem. I like the fact that I can change up my face on it. Only thing it doesn't do is take pictures. I am not disappoint at all in this purchase.

    Very nice watch. Had to have replaced once over 2 years because it got stuck in the boot cycle. Very durable in regards to shock and water resistance.

    I purchased the watch as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. He says he loves it! Looks great on him. Has great features and syncs up with his phone. The watch even reminds him to get up and start moving ( I love that ). You can change the face,the colors everything. I would recommend this product. ** I also recommend the geek squad warranty it cost $60 for 2 years and they replace the watch if they can't fix it.

    Still messing around with it. But it's awesome so far. You can check you're messages and respond from the watch. You can even answer calls from it and speak through the watch. Very neat. Only downside it is that it's very masculine. My wife brought this for me but she wouldn't get it for herself. She likes the features but would like a watch with more color choices and maybe different metals like rose gold.

    I thought I wouldn't be interested in a smart watch, but when we visited my son in another state, I found out how many uses his Samsung Gear 3 Frontier had. He has never been a fan of watches but the multitude of functions this watch offers persuaded him to give it a try. I was so amazed and impressed with his that I bought one at Best Buy when I got home and I've not had a single regret.

    I am mostly pleased with the watch. The only down fall is the battery life. Only using it for a watch the battery will only last about 2 1/2 days. If I use any other features I get maybe a day & a half out of it.

    I've only been using it for a couple weeks and I like it so far. But I do have 2 complaints... 1. The band, it's rubber and it irritates my wrist. I've already ordered a leather band for it, so hopefully that'll work better. 2. The delay after pressing something on the watch. It seems to take a bit to catch up, not sure why, but it can be frustrating. It almost seems to freeze sometimes (long delay). If it weren't for the delay I would've given it 5 stars. The band isn't a big deal and can be fixed rather easily and cheaply; it's the delay after pressing something that bothers me the most.

    I got off to a bad start with this watch. The phone I owned did not work with the watch even though it met all the hardware and software requirements that the instructions stipulated. After calling Samsung, they informed me I would need to get a new, far more expensive phone to use with the watch. After purchasing a new phone, everything worked ok after that. If I had to do it all over again I would not purchase the watch. It is an oversized toy.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
