    Great Samsung Phone integration, poor battery life

    The integration between my S8+ and the Gear is really good. If I walk too far away from my phone, the Gear vibrates - saved me from forgetting my phone several times. The only negative is the short battery life - barely over 24 hours, so I have to charge it every day.

    I waited and did my research. My wife got the Apple watch and thought a smart watch was pretty cool. I am a Samsung guy, so I naturally bought the S3. I do not regret it.

    Sturdy and functional. Don't need an LTE version that charges you extra for a separate plan. Bluetooth tether is enough. Just need more relevant apps to earn the fifth star

    I am really enjoying this new Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch from Samsung. It has a great contemporary yet classic look and with it's long battery life (around two days before needing to recharge) is a real pleasure to own. With a black metal band it really looks great, and it's rotating bezel for selecting features and apps provides convenient functionality. This is a great watch and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    I've yet to find anything, except the band, that I do not like about this watch. From the changeable watch face to the alerts from my phone it great and worth every penny.

    My husband is gadget junkie and I purchased this watch for his birthday! He loves this watch. It’s masculine and the size is perfect. The setup was easy and it works well.

    had the watch a short time but really enjoy it. Many don't realize it works for Android and Apple phones. Only slight feature differences for texting and email. One thing I was looking for was the sleep monitoring which this watch does for both operating systems among so many other things. like the look and feel of the watch. Do your research because the store displays do not list all the functions.

    I finally took the leap into the smart watch world. The S3 Frontier fits the bill perfectly if you want the goodies without needing another service line added with your carrier. Everything connects via bluetooth and works flawlessly with my Note8. Couldn't be happier. Battery life is excellent with about a 2 day average with moderate use. Haven't found anything I don't like about it at all.

    I've never had a smart watch but I have a extensive collection of regular wrist watches as well. Thought I would miss those regular watches, but no. This watch is amazing. You can customize the face to just about anything you want. My wife has an Apple watch and is jealous of this watch. Plus, you can buy normal watch bands to customize the outside anyway you like.

    I researched smart watches quite a lot before choosing the samsung gear s3, and I have to say I have had a great experience. The Battery life is amazing, lasts 2 days without a problem, usually even 3. Audio quality on calls is alright, very convenient, and the microphone is great too! I would recommend getting some other bands with it as the one included is a little suffocating, but aside from that great watch!

    It's a bit confusing to function in the beginning but after you understand it all its so smooth. Comes in handy when you don't have your phone in hand or can't get to it.

    I've owned multiple smart watches from Moto 360 to the Garmin Fenix 3. This is by far the best watch I have owned. The battery life is excellent, not as good as the Fenix but for the amount of work it does, I get almost 3 days without a charge. Don't get me wrong, when I'm in the field (Army Training) the Fenix is the watch I will wear but for everyday use and gym workouts I wear the Gear Frontier 98% of the time.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is not a watch guy. I've not known him to ever wear a watch at any point in our long relationship. He barely takes this thing off. He even sleeps in it. He only charges it every three days or so. He has an enormous amount of choices in watchfaces and other functionality. I have the Michael Kors smart watch and I'm jealous and wish I had kept this one for myself.

    I really like the sleek look of the watch and its' durability. I work for a Police Department so I wasn't sure if it would last very long or be able to handle the daily activities I perform. It's been about 3 months now I've had the watch and have not had any issues at all. I love that you can change the backgrounds to fit the occasion while also keeping up with your steps and heart rate. Definitely worth the money!

    I have had my S3 Frontier for about a month and so far am VERY pleased. It functions exactly as hoped for and expected. Build quality is great, and the battery life is exceptional. Only drawback thus far is that it runs Samsung's Tizen OS instead of Android Wear, so its app support and compatibility is somewhat lacking. App support aside, Tizen itself, though, is a well-executed an intuitive OS.

    Some smartwatches aren't...well...all that smart. This one delivers. I'm am android guy, and thus rivals an Apple watch, from what I can tell. Great for Android users!
