    Purchased for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It was easy to program and set up and looks very stunning. For me, I love that he can't tell me "I wasn't by my phone" when I call or text... look at your wrist! :)

    Great addition to my traditional watch collection. This has now become my "go-to" daily piece. Battery life is good, so far. Great customization, works flawlessly with Galaxy S8+.

    I've had the Gear S3 Frontier (Bluetooth) now for about a month. So far, I'm very pleased with it. It's a large watch, but fits right for me (6'1", 190 lb man). It's good looking, with a huge variety of stylish faces. There are not a ton of apps yet, but I don't plan on using too many. The best features for me are the simple ones that come with the watch: texting app and phone notifications. It's very helpful to not have to pull my phone out to see who's trying to reach me. The activity apps (steps, floors climbed, HR) seem accurate. Samsung pay works well also. Overall, an excellent smartwatch that looks good and just works. Highly recommended.

    I bought this after my Nixon Mission Smart Watch broke for the 4th time and they told me they couldn't fix it because it was being discontinued and no longer had parts. So I turned to The Gear S3 because it, like the Mission was waterproof. Plus I had just bought a Note 10+ and figured they would "play nice" with each other. Well they DO. The S3 is much better than expected especially the battery life. I goes a FULL 2 days without charging even with frequent use of apps and health features. I'm glad I went with the S3... the price is pretty competitive as well.

    The watch is really fun, but more importantly, productive. It notifies me of calls/messages that come in whether I have my phone on me or it's in another room. Other great features include sleep tracking and keeping track of steps to keep my averages up. I hightly recommend it.

    Great watch, but still lacking in apps

    I have been wanting some sort of fitness tracker for a long period of time, but felt, if I am going to be wearing something virtually every minute of the day, I want it to look nice. I love the look and feel of the Gear S3, and the ability to sync to my phone is a great feature for calls and messaging, especially if my phone is somewhere charging, or I can't have it on me. The amount of apps seems very lacking, especially when you consider price, and that I am using it with a Samsung device. Something basic like an app to control the camera on my phone would be great (when using a tripod or some other type of setup), but most of the apps require a secondary camera app for your phone that is of bad quality. There are paid apps with slightly higher reviews, but I am not willing to purchase multiple apps to find one of real quality on what I find to be a rather basic feature. All in all I love this smartwatch; I just wish I could do more with it.

    Best smartwatch out there

    I've had two Pebbles and three Android Wear devices, and I can say without a doubt that the Gear S3 is the best smartwatch on the market. The screen is amazing, the bezel dial is genius, the battery life is great, the vibration is strong, the ability to make/receive calls on my wrist is cool, and, of course, it looks like real (attractive) watch. My only knock on the S3 Frontier is the band that comes with it. There's nothing really wrong with it, and it's got a rugged manliness to it, but I think for the price it could have come with an additional leather band. I put a black leather band on mine and it looks great. I'd wear it anywhere.

    This watch looks much nicer than any other competitor on the market. Seeing how I am not a fan of Apple accessories this blows the Apple watch out of the water in all categories. This also offers a much smoother and cleaner user interface than the previous iterations of gears.

    After switching from an Apple watch I must say it's a huge upgrade. The appearance is much nicer along with the displays it can have. Tech wise its very similar to what an Apple watch can do except this watch can give you a bit more freedom on what you can do from your watch.

    I had a different smart watch before, which was ok. Then I got the gear frontier. Easy to set up, easy to use, lots of apps and watch faces… and looks good too! Really like it!

    Had been wanting one for awhile. Am more than happy with this watch. Works great recording workouts and has many many other useful features. Would recommend to anyone with a samsung phone. Don't know how well it will work with other phones but it works great with my s7 edge.

    Ive been using the watch for two weeks now and LOVE it. Even though I charge the watch nightly, its always 83 to 86% battery remaining each night so the battery life is incredible. I love the solid feel of the watch. The bezel movement is very smooth. I really like begin able to take calls on the watch. this is a feature I have been waiting on. The calls sound very clear and most people I talk to on a regular basis cant tell if I am on the watch or in my car. Bands are a snap to change and there are endless variety's of them available. I get compliments on the watch daily. Very pleased with this version of the watch and worth every penny.

    I don't understand all the hype about this smart watch. I read the reviews and it sounded so great. It's basically just a toy. The heart rate reader is supposed be so good but 99% of the time it says it can't take a reading and needs to be cleaned. It's probably great for those that get excited about putting new watch faces on it.

    This is a gift I bought for someone who has had fitbit charge and when I asked him what he wanted he mentioned this. Why wouldn't I get someone what they want? He says it will do everything that he needs - take calls, give messages etc. He's a geek so I'd recommend this.

    I recently bought my wife a FitBit for Christmas and she loves it. It literally changed her life. As a result, I wanted something similar but that did more. This watch is amazing! It tracks my steps, calorie consumption, water consumption, coffee consumption and more! The changeable watch faces are fantastic. The charge lasts nearly two entire days (I get a LOT of alerts which drain the battery faster). I work on a car lot so I am on my feet a lot and this watch keeps up. The bluetooth range seems to be pretty far too. I have ZERO complaints about this watch.

    My husband is a Hay farmer and the watch has made managing his time loading hay and still able to keep up with his calls and messages giving him a quicker response time for his customers. Looking forward to using it during the cutting and bailing part of his season.
