    Love this watch. Interchangeability of bands is a big improvement over earlier models. S-health works well. Noticed th HR not very accurate when very cold but keep it under your jacket until you want to view it and HR is much more accurate. Watch is quite large and if ai were a women, I would probably go with another product. Battery life advertised seems pretty accurate.

    Battery life is amazing. Very functional even with my Nexus 6P. Tizen is so smooth. Watch works perfectly connected to bluetooth. Watchband fits and feels great. I have had several Android Wear watches and while i enjoyed them i see why Samsung went their own way with development. Buy it.

    I usually get about three days out of one charge which is fine for me. It works seamlessly with my phone to provide a wonderful experience.

    Beautiful watch, great interface but key flaws

    Overall summary: Beautiful OLED screen watch with above average battery life and very mediocre app and sport activity support. If you are an android user and do not care about tons of apps or sport activity features, I would recommend this watch. Otherwise I would skip it. I purchased this watch after reading reviews about how beautiful the watch is and how the battery life is good and it will eventually be fully compatible with iPhone. I used an iPhone 7Plus for about 1 month with this phone. I installed the beta version of the iPhone Gear 3 app. Here are my findings: Pros - imo it's the best looking smart watch out there, the OLED is absolutely gorgeous - watch exterior design looks nice, like a watch, not like a toy or too bulky - the battery lasts 3-4 days with ~30m-1hr usage - intuitive rotating bezel interface - many great looking watch faces Cons - Basic workout functions are extremely limited. I did normal run, the watch stopped recording GPS after 45m and told me congratulations. This was during the middle of a 1h30m training run. - the golf GPS would not let me select the proper hole on a golf course with 2 nine hole courses. - the optical heart rate monitor is functional at rest, but during activities it is "approximately accurate at times". It's worse than my Garmin Vivoactive HR in accuracy. On a scale of 1-10, Scosche Rhythm+ being 10, VAHR is 7, S3 is 4-5. - no Samsung Pay option for iPhone app - when announcement is made, it said iPhone app compatibility. I waited 1 month, but still no software released. - may be too bulky for some (it's slightly smaller than the Garmin Fenix 3 HR)

    One of the best functional smart watches out there

    Is excellent for those that are active. Able to swim, wear to the gym, etc due to the water resistance. This watch also still looks like a nice watch that can be worn out unlike some other smart fitness watches. Wouldnt recommend for people with slender wrists, as it is a bit bulky. Other than that no complaints about the functionality

    I've played around with the watch non stop since first getting it! I have customized it to how I like and it works smoothly with my phone even though I am still using a galaxy s5 that should have been replaced a year ago. The only issue I have is that the bezel is already scratched just from basic use, I would have thought it to be a bit more scratch resistant but aside from that if I could get it 4.5 stars I would! Highly recommended for anyone that is a samsung junkie and loves cutting edge technology!

    Lasts more than a full day of heavy use. Tracks activity and sleep reliably. Vibrating alarm is strong enough to roust me from deep sleep. Endless selection of attractive, quality watchfaces. Performs Samsung Magnetic Secure Transmission, unlike the newer Galaxy Watch. Only wish paint on bezel was more robust.

    Samsung version of Apple Watch

    I used to be in the Apple ecosystem. This is very similar to my old Apple Watch. Battery last about 3 days which is awesome. Changing faces is easy and there are lots of cool free versions. I actually like the round face better. HR seems accurate and I love the added smart options. Con: it’s constantly beeping that it lost contact with my phone. If I go down the hall it beeps. If I go downstairs it beeps. Sometimes it beeps that it lost contact with the phone when it’s in my pocket!

    This is my first smartwatch. I bought the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier mainly because I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. The smartwatch does what I wanted it for. However, the S Voice is not great and lack of apps may hurt.
