I previously used a Moto X that was only good for a day and a half of battery. This watch is good for 4 full days which is grat for a weekend trip without the charging dock.
Besides that, all sensors perform poorly. Sensors thing I am cycling after 100mph motorcycle rides and 70mph drives.
Elevation sensors think i climb 10 floors of stairs while driving around Austin's hilly roads.
Sensors think I have walked 6000-10000 steps in a day between sitting in the office and driving on long road trips.
The only thing it does well as a smart watch is tell time like an analog watch.
Do not buy. pick a Watch that actually has Android wear over this Tizen nonsense

Looks great and works great. especially after the software update that activated talk to text correctly. Only gripe is the floors climbed counter is off. I live in a 2 story home, I am up and down a dozen times a day at least, and this watch never counts one floor. Ever. Everything else is great.

Keep it classic, make it futuristic, or keep it simple, this watch can do it all. Sync with galaxy phone and you've got a one two punch of awesome tech. If your anti apple, this watch is it.

Love the watch. I have owned 2 other smartwatches and they ended up on a shelf. The look is more like a conventional watch. I bought an aftermarket watch band to set it apart from other S3's.

What more can I say that hasn't been said by others? The GearS3 is awesome in what it does. I get three days use before I have to charge it. I use bluetooth to keep it tethered to my phone. I use the heart and sleep monitor functions. I'm constantly monitoring my steps. I make and receive calls. I sometimes reply to text with short responses. I've used the handy nfc function several times. I am enjoying the heck out of this smart watch!

I did a lot of research on this watch prior to deciding on the gear s3 frontier compared to the original s3. The watch is perfect size and height. Just be sure to do research prior to buying.

I've had this watch for over a year now and it has held up to all the abuse I've thrown at it. It's super easy to use and very convenient to have your phone plus a few extras on your wrist.

I have a Gear 2 model and bought the Frontier as a gift for my partner. I'm impressed with the new features! I really like the look and feel and I plan on upgrading to the Frontier myself.

This is a great smartwatch.
It does everything you think a smartwatch should do. Make phone calls, text messages, Samsung Pay. Many tracking features. Stylish and even tells you the time.

Product was in like new condition. Not a mark on it, and has worked flawlessly. Has great mix of notifications, fitness tracking, and extras. Samsung pay and water resistance are pluses.

This watch is perfect! It has a real watch look to it, when used with some of the analog watch faces. Battery life is not the best. I have to charge it every night, but the wireless charger makes it easy. Just set it on your night stand each night and its ready to go by morning. Syncs seamlessly with my Galaxy S7. I use it a lot for tracking my physical activity. It can by used with Samsung health and also Under Armour's my fitness pal.

I'm new to smartwatches but so far I like how well it works for simple things like Samsung Pay and Fitness Tracking, however, it doesn't count floors very well for some reason.

I had the moto 360 1st gen watch before this one and loved it. When the battery died on the moto i replaced it myself. It lasted another 6 months until got wet (pretty sure I didn't seal it properly). So I bought this watch after reading some reviews that said the battery lasted about 4 days. TRUE! Only con i have right now is that uses a proprietary OS but there are lots of apps out there for it and many more the way apparently. I especially love the bezel.

I have had my Samsung Gear S3 / Frontier for about a month now and it has been a good choice for me. I am upgrading from a Pebble Time Round and this is a BIG upgrade. The watch feels solid, I am wearing it most of the time, to get the benefit of the Samsung Health app. The heart-rate monitor and touch screen are nice and very easy to use. Being able to take calls on the watch are kind of awkward but it is kind of cool at the same time. The connectivity to my phone (Droid Turbo 2) was an easy process and the connection doesn't get lost unless I'm walk away from my phone. I am getting about 2 1/2 days between charges which is impressive. I would recommend this watch.

I've had Samsung watches since they first came out.I do miss that camera which was pretty slick and unintrusive but this Frontier is heavy with features and looks.I really like the fitness app since it logs my daily walks around the neighborhood. The standard band is very good looking and more comfortable than a metal band.The optional watch faces is very trick and I can set the face to include my steps.Well Done Samsung!!!
