    Great looking smart watch. Lots of options to customize the look and functions. Battery last me close to 3 days, and the wireless charging pad is a great and easy way to charge it.

    Have had the S3 for 2 months and have been very happy with it. Lots of faces to choose for and lone the connectivity with the S8. Good battery life with the face always on, 2.5 days.

    I received this as a gift and wasn't sure at first if I would like it. Didn't take long to realize how cool this device is! I have made good use of the Samsung pay feature, works great. I love being able to pull pictures up on the phone. I also like being able to check notifications during meetings without people thinking I'm distracted by my phone. I've retired my other activity trackers and now only use my Gear.

    Bought the Samsung S8+ to replace old Samsung S4. Then realized S8+ is really big. Hauling that out for every message or call...just too much. Bought this smartwatch on sale from Best Buy. they have great deals. Great idea. Use it often for when I do not want to haul out the big S8+. For quick calls, messages. Use the handwriting option or mic to reply to quick messages. Otherwise switch to the phone for longer msg response. Battery life is very good. A lot of good options on phone. Like the heart rate monitor, weather report...etc. Wish they had more info on all the options, but get a lot of good info on the web from youtube contributors.

    Everything I needed or wanted in a smartwatch

    After my Pebble Classic started to lose everyday functionality, it was time to find a suitable upgrade. I don't consider myself a smartwatch power user. I mostly want basic watch features and certain phone notifications as I like to keep my phone in my pocket or charging nearby. One of the main reasons I went with the original Pebble Classic was the nearly one week battery life. I have enough things in my life that I need to charge on a daily basis and didn't want a smartwatch that was constantly tethered to a charging cable. This also was one of the main reasons I chose the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. The Bluetooth version claimed to go several days on a single charge. Its rugged good looks and Gorilla glass surface sealed the deal. I have now had this smartwatch for four weeks and am impressed and completely satisfied with my purchase. Using my watch mostly for basic time piece functions, receiving certain notifications, and occasionally controlling the music on my phone remotely, I manage to go nearly 4 whole days on a single charge. This is more than acceptable for me. The watch itself has a lot of flexibility and options with regards to watch faces, etc. Its screen is nice and colorful. The Gorilla glass is a nice touch as I find myself occasionally whacking watches against door frames and walls in a negligent, unconscious fashion. The watch itself is modeled after rugged, sportsman styled time pieces. The only thing I really don't like is the included rubber wristband. The very next day, I ordered a matching dark metal band that so far has held up well and makes the watch look nicer overall. I couldn't be happier!

    I have used both Apple watch as well as Samsung gear. Comparitively apple watch got more sync options than Gear. This doesnt mean Gear is bad it got better battery life than Apple watch. People has to really invest more time to download apt apps to make it better than Apple’s.

    I was on the fence about this watch. But after watching endless review and reading blogs. I had to find out if it was worth all the hype. I must say this is the best purchase I made. I love this watch! This is my daily watch. i love how much you can customize the UI. I love Samsung pay. I love pretty much everything about it. I get a lot of praises about my watch! If you are looking for a watch. Look no more this is the one you want.

    I ditched my Apple 6+ for the Note 8, so I needed to replace the Apple I had. Great watch useful complications available, long battery life (3 or 4 days, depending on use).

    Works perfect with my IPhone. Wanted to get the apple smartwatch, but that one would never work with other phones than Iphones. In addition, the Samsung looks much better :-)

    Starting off with only negative. Samsung store has a limited amount of supported apps compared to Apple Watch or Android Wear. Other than that, the watch itself is amazing.

    I've had this one month, and I'll still discovering more things that it can do. Is it a little larger and heavier than most watches, but it still fits comfortably on the wrist. I strongly recommend downloading the Gear app and the Samsung Health app (probably already on Samsung phones). I find it can go three days between charging if it's occasionally put in power-saving mode, which makes sense to do overnight.

    Of the 3 smart watches that I have owned, this has the most features, it is the most accurate and has the longest lasting battery/charge. It also was the most expensive.
