    Best Smart Watch

    I've always wanted a smart watch and started with Fitbit. I never liked the square look of the Apple or Fitbit but made sense for what I was looking for. After finding this I fell in love with the watch. It's amazing. The feel and look gets compliments all the time. After wearing this for a week, I wanted to increase my functionality with my iPhone and switched to Samsung S8 phone. Never looked back, this thing rocks and when paired with my Android instead of apple, it's a beast!

    I had a Gear Fit2 but wanted something a little more stylish and rebust. This was a great choice. GPS seems to be more accurate than the FIT2, you can install more apps. I am loving this watch. Battery life seems good. About 2.5 days on one charge. Does take a little longer to charge then my FIT2 did, but not really an issue.

    Having had a Fitbot Charge HR break after a year and a Garmin Vivosmart+ do the same, I decided to put my Citizens Eco Drive watch in the drawer and give this smart watch a try. I was really concerned about battery life after having an Eco Drive for many years. I am really happy with battery life. Easily lasts over a day and a half if I forgot to put in on the charger for an hour or so at night before I go to bed. The fitness tracker feature has worked very well. In some aspects better than my Garmin and as good if not better than my Fitbit. The only issues I have is it is most likely user error and lack of knowledge of setup. I have Samsung Pay setup on the S8+, but for some reason, I am not able to get my cards setup on this watch. I feel it is either user error or my bank blocking verification from Samsung Gear because it is all ready verified on Samsung Pay. Just have not had time to get back to Best Buy to get a solution. Even with this minor issue, it is not a problem to knock it down from a 5 star rating because it is doing everything I purchased this watch to do for me.

    The watch gets 3 or 4 days on a charge. It is easy to read the display without glasses and I can select the notifications I want on the phone. Looking forward to more apps however that is mostly fluff. Schedule syncs and easy to look at my next appointment or call. Too many features to list, it is a very good smart watch.

    Great smart watch. Looks very nice. Downloaded other faces & app runs great on the watch. Still too new for me to rate as 5 stars, but no problems. Battery seems to last 3-4 days of regular usage.

    Been using this watch (non-LTE version), sync'd to Galaxy S4 and S7, for about three weeks now. Definitely not for someone with small wrists as it is fairly large and heavy. The display is really nice, and battery lasts about 2-3 days with normal use. Barometer and altimiter apps that are included are questionable as far as accuracy (altimiter doesn't seem to re-calibrate as it's supposed to and often shows changes of 30-300ft in Alt when calibrated manually). Notifications marked as "read" on the watch don't sync back to the phone. Samsung Pay works well with both GS4 and GS7. My biggest complaint is the number of apps / widgets that are available through Samsung (very few since the watch runs Samsungs Tizen OS, not Android wear).

    I have owned The Fossil Q, Apple iWatch and the S3. Although I mainly use apple for my portable electronics. I cannot understand why the iWatch which needed an extreme makeover stood idly by and (for a second time) allow Android products to catch up. Simply put...friends do not let friends wear square!! No amount of bling on the band will detract from the fopaw of tech over fashion. The S3 works with my wardrobe and my apps well enough to earn a place on my wrist.

    Nice upgrade from Gear S2

    Very impressed so far with my S3 Frontier. I have smaller wrists, but it doesn't look as freakishly large as I was afraid it might. The larger display is great. The knurled bezel ring is a huge plus compared to the smooth S2 one. Having a speaker, and an amazingly good one for its size, on this watch is probably the single most awesome upgrade. The S3 looks more like a watch, and is very well made. It feels like an expensive, rugged outdoors kind of device. Loved my S2, but am very glad I moved up to the S3. The watch band is almost as easy to remove & reattach as the S2's, plus there will be many more options since regular watch bands will fit it. I really like the one it comes with though, so I won't be looking for a different one any time soon. Overall, just a well made, great looking, feature packed and easy to use smart watch. Got many compliments & inquiries about my S2 over the last year, so I'm sure I will get even more with my S3. Samsung definitely is the leader in the smart watch world; at least in my opinion, and I looked at and researched all the others before buying my S2 and now S3 Frontier.
