This is a good watch and has a lot of cool features that are easy to use. I wish you could see facebook posts, not just alerts telling you to see your phone, but that's not a deal breaker, still an awesome watch!

I replaced my Moto 360 with this watch and I absolutely love it! Very classy looking, Samsung Pay works flawlessly and phone calls through the watch sound perfect. Emails and texts are never more than a glance away and I use the Nest App to control my Nest Thermostat by turning the bezel of the watch. Remarkable. If you are in the market...buy it.

The watch is everything I hoped for after the S2 was released. I can go 3 days with light to average use on 1 charge. It syncs very well. It's obviously geared to Samsung. I wish it had more lead way for Google.

The follow-up to last year's Gear S2, the Gear S3 continues it's amazing push into the Smartwatch market. The rotating bezel works flawlessly while providing that satisfying clicking with each turn. I've successfully gotten 3 days battery life from the watch with the always on display turned off. The only thing that makes me rate this a 4 instead of a 5 is the lack of solid water resistance ala apple watch 2.0. This is a solid watch that will look great on your wrist...provided you have a large wrist.

I know the price was pretty hight when I got this but hey it is one of the best smart watch out there. It offers little customization with the face plate and stuff and how you get your notification. I have been having it for couple of years now and it has been running fine.

I traded my iPhone in for a Samsung phone. As a result, I traded in my apple watch as well. Besides being more stylish than the apple watch, the functionality of it is a lot better. It has a better battery life as well. I love the free watch faces to be found for this watch. As of yet, I haven't found any cons.

There are many awesome things about this watch! It has a long battery life, works with both iOS and Android devices, is made of excellent quality and has a ton of features and watch faces available. It's also waterproof and the bands are easily switchable. I had the old galaxy gear S watch and loved it, but I love this one even more!

When comparing the S3 to the competition, it's important to know what each product is designed to do or not do. If you do your homework and understand the capabilities of this watch, I think you'll agree it's great. I hate when people down a product because product XYZ can do this or that and the S3 can't, if it's not apples to apples, it's a pointless comment.
For what the S3 was designed for, I'm loving the watch, I'm not a swimmer or a marathoner, it's meets all my expectations.

The biggest shortcoming of the old s2 was battery life. S3 has multiday battery, bigger screen, good looking. What I use the S3 Frontier for is notifications and reading emails for work. More efficient than pulling the phone out constantly. Enables me to solve issues as they appear.
PS: I use Samsung S8 so no issues

What can I say, except that I absolutely LOVE my Galaxy Gear S3! I am a recent crossover from the Apple ecosystem to Android. In searching for a new smartwatch to compliment my Galaxy Note 9, I was a bit of a fish out of water. I looked at several brands, read online reviews, and got a hands-on experience at Best Buy before ultimately deciding on the Gear S3. Let me tell you, I could NOT be happier. This watch is extremely well built, stylish yet rugged, and performs flawlessly. The display is beautiful, the scrolling outer bezel makes navigation incredibly simple, and the battery life - HOLY SMOKES! I am a pretty heavy user and I am easily going 60+ hours between charges. Even then I still have approximately 20% battery life remaining. The integration with my Note 9 is rather good. So far, everything syncs well, and push notifications come through immediately. I've had this watch underwater, admittedly just for a few seconds at a time, and it keeps going. I am incredibly happy with my Samsung Gear S3 and see myself holding onto this for quite some time.

The Gear S3 smart watch does everything you need. Tracks your fitness with built in GPS and heart rate monitor. View and respond to emails, calls and texts via voice, screen writing, or typing. Sleep tracking is no problem. Get notifications without having to take out the phone. The only thing I would knock it for is the S health software is a pretty closed system . Did I mention the 3 to 4 day battery life? Wow. Works on iPhone, Android, and of course best with Samsung smartphones.
