    This watch is amazing, Samsung makes great products and this has the Apple watch beat. It looks better too, the Apple watch looks like a kids toy. The gear s3 looks more elegant and fancy. I got it for $300 bucks and it was well worth it. Fast, smooth great size and battery life. Overall 10/10

    Nice Watch, but some problems...

    First, Samsung has made a nice snmart watch. Unfortunately, they went a "different" route with the operating system they chose. Be forewarned, this watch does NOT run Android Wear OS. This means that not all the applications you might expect to run on it will. Others don't always function completely as they do on an Android Wear device. One of the big advantages of this watch is it can operate without your SmartPhone. It an connect with your wireless carrier's internet (for a fee, of course). I didn't want this feature, but I can see where it might be nice for many people. The rotating bezel is a GREAT idea. I wish all smart watches would adopt this. It makes navigation much, much easier. The screen is large enough to read and the watch is not overly bulky. My biggest concern with the Tizen OS is that it has security flaws which allow hackers access to the watch and the data it contains. Now, I don't mind somebody looking at the time on my watch, but this watch contains payment data and personal information you probably don't want made available to some crafty hacker. Google "tizen os security" and read some of the articles, then decide for yourself. I did - and I returned the watch. If it ran the standard Android Wear OS, it would be on my wrist right now.

    I love my gear. I use it to find my phone, at least 2 times a week. I like having a calendar at my fingertips. Plus it's nice to have the option of saving my music on the watch for easy access. With all the new apps that are released, it becomes even more useful.

    I am truly excited to own the Samsung Gear S3; very user-friendly and keeps track of many functions well. You can choose the waych face; talk through your watch-face when the phone is not accessible quickly; it keeps good track of your steps throughout the day, and the screen is very vivid too!

    This watch is great for any person...you can give it a rugged or classy look. It all depends on your style. The watch was easy to set-up and instantly connected to my Samsung Note9. This watch allows you the option to receive calls. This was a great father's day gift.

    Nice looking watch. Not too bulky. Similar to a Seiko chronograph weight and size. Watch faces are genuine looking and the turning bezel is a great feature. Set up was super easy but doesn't work with gmail so had to sync with regular mail server (yes it's still my gmail address) just a pain because I like gmail functionality better than theirs. Other than that only took a few hours to get it all figured out and I like it a lot.

    I didn't really read the new futures before purchasing. Upgraded from gear s2 classic. I find something new daily that I love about this watch. It has everything I need and then some...i would prefer a smaller watch face but yet larger one makes texting on it so much easier. Cannot say enough good.

    The band is better than the Microsoft watch. It's a great watch. I like the interface, display, and multiple watch face choices. I like when it is connected to the phine and standalone. A lot of the features work off Wi-Fi. It works great as a cell phone. The microphone and speaker work great.

    I bought this watch for my daughter's boyfriend for Christmas. I also own the gear S3 classic which I absolutely love every feature on it . Every week I'm learning something new about it. I like the fact that he has an iPhone and it is adaptable to that and I have an Android.

    I had the Samsung Gear 3. I bought the extended warranty. My watch had some problems and they gave me a new one but it was the frontier one. Love it... The Warranty is so confusing I had to pay a little bit of money but I didn't care. I got a new one for very little$$

    Very useful smartwatch. Easy to use. I purchased before the LTE version for Verizon came out. Not sure I would have purchased that anyway, don’t need a larger phone bill. I always carry my phone. Calls are very clear through the watch and convenient to answer without pulling phone out.

    A fantastic watch if you can get your hands on it for less than $200. Runs on the Tizen OS which runs smoother than Wear OS but it is best if you have a Samsung phone with you. Does not have all the popular apps, but it is getting there. Some of the apps do have glitches, e.g. Spotify which does not connect to the account. Would love it more if there are better apps for the watch than just cool watch faces.

    I was not sure whether to buy this watch or not because I have an I phone and was more inclined towards Apple Watch. But when i used it (friends watch) I felt as if this is better that Apple product and Samsung has given it a way better look. Great watch and I got a good deal at bestbuy.

    The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch is a very multifaceted watch, front set up to everyday use is done with ease. Once you download the gear for app you can track almost everything and set Target goals and daily limits. My favorite part is the daily challenges that are customizable.

    I use this watch to track my heart rate, sleep, and activity level. All of those features have been accurate. I like the rotating bezel better than swiping the small screen. The speaker and microphone both work well, but I seldom use them. I can go at least three days without recharging.
