    we got this for my husband for Father's day and he absolutely loves it! He is not big on gifts but he was really excited to receive this one. It wears it daily and says it syncs and works great wit his Note 8.

    I have had this watch for about a month and love it so far. The built in speaker phone has been great for me as I work in construction so my phone can stay secured. The only issue I have had is if I actually answer my phone while connected to the watch with Bluetooth, it mutes my phone for some reason. Other than that its been awesome.

    I purchased this as a gift for my husband. He seems to love it. When he is using the phone feature, as the person on the other end, you can't even tell. Quality is great. Great for text quick responses.

    Heavy duty solid watch. The band is horrible but a cheap one from Amazon helps tremendously. I like the options, the phone call quality sucks but the over all watch exceeded my expectations.

    I got him this smartwatch when he was still using a Samsung phone, and he loved them together. Recently we went back to iPhones, and he was pleased to find that he can sync with his iPhone. We have had some serious challenges with Samsung's customer service/support so that is why I wouldn't reccommend it to a friend.

    purchased for my husband as a gift. He loved it. Only got rid of it because we switched to apple for a short time and now we are back to Samsung so we will be looking for another.

    I have had both of the MS Bands. This watch is so much better. It has all the features of my band and more.  My only wish is that I could sync my Samsung Pay on my watch and on my phone together so I can earn points from bot.

    There are so many great features on the watch. I use it with my Samsung galaxy s8. At work I leave my phone on the charger and just use my watch for all calls and text!

    I have an issue where I cant wear watches. It really has sucked for the last 30 years. This one I can actually wear. My only complaint is the available straps. The one that comes with it is strong, but ugly. Sadly, there are no replacements like the apple watch has. Your just stuck with that ugly and uncomfy strap.

    Heart rate monitor

    Very let down, wanted to like but disappointed

    First off the styling is very nice and just the right size. I really wanted to like this watch but it just kept disappointing me. The first day it seemed great. Playing around with the apps and settings and different watch faces available are great. The second day I really started noticing all the things that just started to annoye me. If you want to use this as a fitness tracker using the Samsung Health app you will be disappointed. The heart rate monitor is a complete joke. I know this because I tested it against my Polar heart chest strap. This watch gives false readings. The stair step counter only works 50% of the time. I was trying to keep track of how many times I walk up and down the stairs at work. But the thing that caused me to return it after only 6 days is the battery life.....it is HORRIBLE!! On the 3rd day of owning after a full charge it would be completely dead in 6 hours. It would die on me in the middle of my work day. Anyways, I really did want to like this watch but it was a complete let down. The other reviews I read about poor battery life were true. I should've listened. Maybe Samsung will finally address the issue and find a fix after they realize the amount of returns they are having. Just do a google search and see how many people speak of this and the amount of refurbished watches available for purchase online. Then you'll understand.

    I love everything about it, My only issue is that it is inconsistent when waking up. I can simple twist my arm and it wakes up. But when I actually get a notification and I go to raise and/or twist my wrist, it does not do anything. At that point I have to turn the bezel to read my notifications.

    I purchased this watch for my husband who had the 1st generation Samsung Gear. He is very happy with it and all of the features it now has. Everything works as expected and gives my Apple Watch a run for the money.

    Got this smart watch for my husband's birthday! It is super sleek, looks great, and he loves all of the different uses for it as well. Definitely recommend! Also, it's lowkey way cooler than my apple watch.

    I upgraded from the Gear Fit 2. This watch has the same features I liked in the Gear Fit, but you can wear it with a suit and not look like you have a matching ankle bracelet. Good in meetings for a quick email check without pulling out the phone, or for quick replies when the phone is on silent. Very happy.

    I previously had the Gear S. I thought about the S2, but decided to wait for the S3. It was worth the wait. Samsung hit it out of the park! Another plus is I found I can get 5 days on a charge by turning it off when I sleep.

    Samsung has taken it to the next level with the S3. I owned the S2 and recently upgraded. This watch has all the functionality of the S2 in a more polished package. Looks like a nice, fancy watch but does so much more...

    Love the watch. It does all I the things I've wanted out of a smart watch. I love how there is a ton of watch faces you can switch whenever you want a fresh look and it pairs well with the samsung health app

    I really like this watch, but I'm afraid to wear it while at work. I work in construction and I'm continuously banging my arms against everything. It is very useful when I do get to wear it, just not at work.
