    I am a female with a medium sized wrist and I was really worried about this watch being too "manly" or too large. It IS a large watch but it looks just as great on women as it does on men. The steps, heart rate and workout tracking seem fairly accurate. I have no complaints at all except a slightly short battery life. I charge every day and a half. I love that you can change faces and there are plenty of aftermarket watch bands to change up the look!

    Pros: Battery life is great. With heavy use, I can get 2 days of use between charges. Auto pulse checks without draining battery much Awesome watch faces Band is great for activity Auto recording workouts works very well Very snappy response Works well on all Android phones. I tried Galaxy S5, Huwaei Honor 5x, and ZTE Axon 7 mini. Cons: Repeatedly tries to install Samsung Pay when top button is held too long. Text messages don't work as cleanly through phones that aren't Samsung.

    Hands down the best looking smart watch currently available. Sits a little large at 46mm on the wrist, but it isn't unbearable. All functionality is great, and i would definitely recommend to a friend.

    My first smartwatch, and I've worn it every single day since purchasing it. Awesome features, accurate GPS, tons of cool watch faces, and impressive battery life. Well done, Samsung! Literally the thing I've had trouble with is it doesn't seem to accurately log my daily floor count at all. I really don't care about that thoughl, so it doesn't affect how I feel about the watch, especially since it seems to count steps perfectly fine.

    I originally had the moto360 and it was a pretty good watch. After having this watch for about a month I am blown away at how a smart watch should be. Being able to text and call from the watch is awesome and makes driving hands free pretty easy. It does not feel that heavy and I hardly notice it while wearing it. The charge lasts for 2 days even with the watch face always on. With the always on option turned off it easily lasts 4 days on a single charge.

    The watch is perfect for anyone looking for convenience. Does amazing for fitness tracking. Texting on the watch is super simple and easy to use and is very helpful for those who are not allowed to pull there phone out in places such as school or work. The only con this watch has is the lack of apps but that is an issue every single smartwatch has. Overall this watch was totally worth it and if your on the fence about buying it, take the leap because it is honestly so worth it.

    I had a Moto 360 2nd gen. I loved!! When the battery and software went South I needed a new smartwatch. I had tried the first of the gear line and did not like it. I decided to give the Tizen another try, I am glad that I did. It is so much like my Moto and even though I do not have a Samsung phone, I have the Pixel 2. I pairs great and everything works good enough for me. Reminders are great. I can use the squeeze feture on the Pixel to put in reminders and it will show up on the Frontier when it's time. Gmail notifications, Gmail calendar, is great too. S voice is a joke so I turned it off, horrible. I like that I can write with my finger a quick text response. Though very minimal. I can not respond to email, but I would rather do that on my phone anyway. The GPS takes a while to connect when I want to go for a hike. I found however the Altimeter to be a bit off, but then take it's time getting right. When I use Samsung health on my phone the altimeter is instantly correct. I will say I like this watch better as a smart watch and not something I would depend on for work outs or hiking. Though it is only slightly off so I can fix it with the phone app. Weird how the Samsung health is more accurate on the phone then on the watch. Bigger processor on phone I guess, and more accurate on phone. I will keep this smart because it is such an excellent smart watch for everyday use with reminders and notifications and it is beautiful. Like Samsung always does makes beautiful things. Just wish hardware was sometimes more beautiful. It's a solid piece of technology and I have tiny wrists, I like the big size but if you don't get the classic or sport. I prefer bigger watches. This is a thumbs up for me on Samsung smart watches they keep getting better.

    Absolute ease to use ! Smooth software. Loud speaker ! Long range between phone and watch! Great battery life ! Very impressed by what Samsung had to offer ! And it works on the iPhone XS Max ! Only thing you can’t do is make outgoing phone call and respond to texts. Does everything else , including answering a phone call and your heard perfectly!

    Works great, a little bit of a hassle wearing it while driving. I had to turn the recieve calls via watch feature so that I could answer over the cars Bluetooth. Also does weird thing where it auto hangs up FB messenger calls if I have it connected to my phone. Overall still satisfied and would recommend.

    My wife bought me this watch to replace an Apple Watch Series 1 that won’t work with a Samsung phone. After some research, she found the perfect replacement. The Samsung Gear 3. I know it’s not the latest and greatest, but it was perfect. Way more functional than my Apple Watch and waterproof to boot. I’m no longer tethered to Apple and it will work with an IPhone if I go back. Great watch and can be operated with one hand easily.

    This item was sold out for sometime, Best Buy was the only one that had in stock for the holidays. Watch pairs with Samsung S6. It can last up to 4 days without charging, has capability to make and receive call using Bluetooth connection on my phone. You can receive notifications like appointment reminders etc on watch. There's a whole lot this watch does. I can write a book about it lol.. Definitely does more for a smart watch. It's a bit pricey but worth the money spent :-)

    I have had the gear s3 for well over three months now and I absolutely recommend it. It does it all... We'll all you need it to do. Heart rate monitor, step counter, email and message alerts, sleep monitor, blue tooth control from watch while working out, tons of face options... The list goes on and on. Oh and for the best part... It never dies! I can wear it for four days and without a charge. My wife has a iwatch series 2 and she had to charge it every other day. Just saying...

    Love this watch. I told my wife I wanted 1 thing for xmas and she got it for me. I have been wearing it non stop since xmas 2018. I do not wear it at night so I can't tell you about the tracking sleep. But, it lasts 2 days on a single charge and I work EMS so that is 48 hour shifts for me. No cons so far and all pros. Glad I got this watch.
