    I've been wearing a Fitbit watch for several years now, but decided to try the Gear 3. I absolutely love it! The fact that you can customize it was a HUGE selling point for me and it does everything the Fitbit does and more.

    I feel like this Watch can nearly do it all. Its a great investment for people who work for companies who have strict phone policies. I love the fact that it plays music directly from the watches speaker. Overall great product

    Need to pair with phone to really use this watch

    I bought the Gear S3 with the assumption that I could use the watch for the most part without pairing it to a phone. I don't have a compatible phone, but the watch has wifi connectivity. Well the wifi connectivity doesn't really work until you pair the watch with a phone, for some reason. I talked to Samsung support twice about the issue, and get the same answer both time "Needs to be paired to a phone first". I was simply trying to connect to wifi and get different watch faces, but in order to do that, you need to log in to the Samsung Account on the watch, and in order to do that, you need to be paired to a phone. I thought I would be able to do that WITHOUT pairing. Nope. Other than this fact, I love the watch, it's build is good quality, the display is awesome, the touch screen is definitely well designed...if I could have connected to wifi properly, this would have been a 5 Star review.

    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.

    I previously had the GearS2 and was happy with it. That was until I saw my brothers S3. Immediately sold mine and got the Frontier. Head and shoulders better in every way. Samsung pay works flawlessly. Even better than my S7.

    I've had both the Apple Watch and this one and the Samsung Watch is so much better looking. The screen is easy to see and use. There may be fewer apps but the one you actually use on a smartwatch are there and work great.

    This was a gift for my husband. He loves it and says it is so easy to use. What I love about it is that it looks like a sharp watch. Most other phone watches don't resemble a watch to me. This one is super sharp and classy.

    I have not regrets with this purchase. It has made work, play, and fitness easier to do. It keeps me connected even when i leave my phone. Only down fall is it doesnt look good with my suits, other than that it's perfect.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.
