    Missing a major item I purchased it for

    I like my watch but the major reason I bought it was to text my wife with the talk to text feature on the watch. IT DOESN"T WORK. This is a known issue with samsung and I don't know if they are trying to fix it. Custormer care just says they are sorry you are experiencing trouble with your product. Read reviews first ( I usually do) . Had I know this I would have waited until the bug is fixed.

    Nice Samsung smart watch, bigger than the Gear S2. It's really disappointed that it doesn't work with whatsapp calls.

    I had to buy a new band because of the irritation of this band. The functionality of the watch is fine.

    I purchased this watch because you could use the Spotify app and run without a phone. It happened once and it was great, but it was all downhill from there. After that I could never get it to connect to my phone or home wi fi. I was connecting it to An Iphone, but it was supposed to. Nice watch maybe if you have a Samsung phone. Not for Apple users.

    It is a pretty cool watch, thought better if you have a samsung phone. Unfortunately the battery died within 2 weeks and I returned it. I have read a lot of complaints like this so I would look out for this problem.

    S voice doesn't work and no google maps

    I bought the Gear S3 for the purpose of text messaging through voice and to receive map navigation. Turns out the S voice does not work properly. I have to repeat myself number of times to get the right contact and type up the correct message. As for map navigation, there's no google maps or any other good reliable map apps. Even when I use google maps on my Note8, it doesn't show any directions or any type of notification on my gear S3. I wish I could've returned it. But my 14 day window expired.

    I bought this for running and it was the most frustrating watch bc the touch screen would not initiate upon me touching it so when I wanted to pause my run I couldn't get it to stop ! Let alone the fact that I couldn't even get it to light up until i flipped my wrist 3 or 4 times ! So aggravating!
