    Bought this watch as a running watch with music player that I could also use as an everyday watch. It tracks runs well, but the heart rate monitor needs to be close to the wrist so it feels a little tight. The music player is great, it works with Bluetooth headphones. Great battery life as well.

    I've been using this for over a month now and I love it! I can answer calls with it, reply to my messages, change my music, control the volume or the music and make payments with it. It has been very useful in the time that I've had it. My only complain is that it does not have Google Maps integration! But it isn't a HUGE issue. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone! Got one for me and my brother and we both feel it was a sound investment!

    This is in my opinion better than the apple watch. I recently switched to Android from iOS and have been pleased. It is super easy to use.

    I own four smartwatches, the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier being the latest addition. I am so pleased with this watch. The design is not only attractive, but also very functional. The rotating bezel navigation is intuitive and easy to use, with just the right amount of tactile feedback. I find no lag in the functioning of the Tizen OS. As much as I love my Android Wear watch, I do have to say that the lack of lag in the Tizen OS is better. I have this watch paired with my Nexus 6p phone, and it works great with this phone, including the Samsung Pay. Samsung Pay on the watch is easy to use and so convenient. After considering several watches as the next addition, and as my main watch, I am very happy with my decision to go with the Gear S3. Oh, and there's no need to be put off by the size. Sure, it's not small, but larger watches seem to be plentiful these days. And, it looks great on my wrist. (I am a woman with small wrists, even for a woman.) I even tried on the Gear S2, which is smaller, and my husband and I both agreed the large S3 looked better.

    The only negative that I can think of is the "rubber" watch strap but that was easily solved. Other than that, it works like a champ and does all that I expected and does it well.

    I really like the look of the watch first of all, and the functionality is great. I am in sales and find it very handy to be able to glance at my watch when I get a notification rather than pull the phone out of my pocket. Or at home with the phone across the room, I can answer calls on my watch.

    I've been waiting for Gear S3 since Microsoft Band 2 was declared end-of-life. Though first I wanted Classic, the Best Buy location I visited only had Frontier in stock so I bought it and haven't regretted since. It is both beautiful and durable. It has the look of a traditional watch but packed with the smarts of a smart watch. I looked into Apple Watch Series 2 Nike+ and in the end its design didn't work for me. Gear S3 Frontier has the material that can withstand a few bumps and the apps, though S Health can use some learning from Microsoft Health or Fitbit, works seamlessly with my S7 Edge. I thought the watch was a tad to big however after a few days of getting used to from Microsoft Band 2, the only time that I noticed that it was there is when I sleep. Speaking of which I elected not to wear it to sleep because of its auto wake function when you turn your wrist. The watch face would turn on randomly because I move my arms in my sleep. Other than that minor annoyance, it has been a great piece of technology that is also fashionable.
