    Top notch sports watch

    I had a Samsung Gear Fit2 that got smashed in an accident so I was on the hunt for a replacement. First bought the Garmin VivosmartHR+ and returned for this watch. While the Garmin had great battery life (down to 42% after 5 days use), the screen is a huge disappointment. The Gear S3's AMOLED screen is vivid, bright, and sharp. App integration with my Pixel XL is seamless. S voice works well and the preloaded activity menu has what I need for fitness tracking. Rotating bezel cycles through the menu quickly. If you're on the fence, just buy it! You'll love the Gear S3 Frontier more and more you use it.

    A rugged good looking watch

    This is my first smart watch and Samsung did a great job. The battery lasts for about 3 days before I have to charge it and it has managed to survive my hectic work place. The bezel scratches a bit too easy in some places, but overall a really great watch.

    Best Smart Watch you can buy (imho)

    Have owned it a week and am still falling deeper in love! My wife has the latest Apple watch and its even waaaay better than that. I considered the Huawei. Glad I didn't buy that one. This one has a much better interface. Only comment less than perfect is that it is thick so its a bit bulkier but I'm a bigger guy so that's even a plus for me. I did buy an after-market larger wristband because, like I said, I'm a bigger guy and this one fits just at the last loop hole and I like it a bit looser. Can't wait to see it with that new watchband (metal links)..

    Best Smartwatch on the Market

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    (paired with S7edge) I did a TON of research about this product, and I am more than pleased with the results. It actually looks like a real watch, which is nice, because it doesn't draw unwanted attention for being overly techy. It allows you to not reach for your phone all of the time because it send all notifications to your wrist. Too many amazing features to list here. The only important detail is if you have a small wrist, this is not for you. The watch face is large, and kind of heavy (you get used to it within a few hours).

    FANTASTIC Smart Watch.

    Ive had my eye on this watch for months. I caved during Christmas in July. The price and bonus gift card was insane. The watch is solid with a ton of cool watch faces. The bezel moves really smooth to change on screen items. Very smooth interface with icons. no bluetooth issues synced instantly with my SS Galaxy S8+. Watch band is ok, just not my style but I can live with it. May change it out later. Very hot looking piece of gear. Even when the screen is off. LOVE IT

    I've had the Galaxy S3 Frontier for over a month and feel that it has been put through a variety of scenarios. There have been minor quirks, but on the whole I am quite impressed with the product and functionality that it provided. Likes: - Lightweight - Design - Replaceable bands - Make / answer calls (connected to phone) - Great display both indoors and outside - Battery Life Dislikes: - Fairly large - Rugged look not for everyone - Ok sleep tracking - Ok number of apps

    Great looking watch but....

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very cool, high-tech watch, but I returned it after 1 day. I found it very distracting. Since you can't leave the screen on all the time without rapidly draining the battery, it turns on every time you move your arm. It would be impossible to sleep with it on your arm, unless you turn off the screen at night. The fit and finish of this watch is excellent, very nice looking, and when the screen is on, there is a total wow factor. It's too bad you cannot leave the screen on full time. If you like gadgets, this thing is cool, just not sure how practical smart watches are at this point. It is definitely not going to replace your phone anytime soon.

    Easy to use, apps are straightforward, during workout sessions is able to monitor your heart rate constantly. Steps taken are not entirely that accurate but can get GPS data to log runs and calculate distance. Very clear display and notifications appear instantly on your watch. My phone (a OnePlus 5) works seamlessly with the watch if you are wondering if it only works with Samsung phones.

    had the gear s, gears s2, and now the gear s3 frontier. my personal favorite of the bunch. It's big, user friendly, great standalone device, and has tons of options. The S2 wasn't the best in my opinion. This watch feels like they took the best of the S2 and gear S and made this watch with awesome feature additions and upgrades. very sleek and I highly recommend if your Best Buy carries them yet.

    This watch is amazing. I love everything about it. My one hang up was on this watch not having samsung pay. Samsung told me multiple times it will not work. I got it home. Installed samsung gear and a plugin for samsung pay. I have both my bank cards hooked to samsung pay on a non samsung device!! (Nexus 6P) By far the best Android watch out there!

    Bought for my husband he's had it a few years and still works great. We have had times lately where it didn't seem to want to work but we just had to re-pair it and it works perfectly again.
