    There is nothing more I would want from a smartwatch. I have owned the apple watch and in my opinion this watch blows away the apple watch.

    This is my third Samsung watch and I have loved all of them. I am a Android (Galaxy) phone user and I am also in to fitness. Every watch has added capabilities that help me with my daily activities. I do not like caring my phone with me all the time, so this watch keeps me in touch with my phone without it being in my possession.

    The watch is much more detailed than a fitbit and you don't have to have their stupid band which wears out much before the watch. I love it!

    This watch and the S8 Plus convinced me to leave Apple and go back to Samsung. I absolutely love both. The battery life of the watch is great, although I don't think it would go a full 3 days like I saw in some of the reviews I saw. Regardless, it's much better than the Apple watch battery. The display is so clear, and it's so easy to use. I highly recommend it!

    Nowadays if you are going to wear something on your wrist you want it to do more than just give you the time. I use it to keep track of my workouts using the stopwatch, dynamic workout monitor and the pulse monitor. it works great. I can read text messages, and take calls. Samsung Pay allows you to pay bills too. I haven't used that feature. Gives you the temp and the predicted highs and lows. There are other features I haven't tried, but overall I am very happy with this purchase.

    Able to change the face easily to match what I'm wearing. Not sure how water resistance it is, but I wore it into a hot tub and it came out fine. Pairs easily to the S7 edge. Calls comes through clearly; in and out based on the feedback from the other end. Text is great also. Just wish the heart rate monitor worked during exercise. Matter of fact, have to be very still or heart rate monitor doesn't always work. In other words, heart rate monitor sucks. If your life depends on it, you"ll most likely die.

    I bought this for my son who was just beginning his fitness journey. He loved it, and being able to answer texts and calls is just a plus! I've wanted one as well but it was too big for a woman's arm, but now that they make it in a smaller size (and in Rose Gold no less!) I am hoping to get one for myself. Easy setup and fast charge.

    At first I wasn't sure I'd like Samsung's software, but the S3 Frontier's handsome appearance and great reviews had me hooked. Now I am glad I purchased this watch, and haven't taken it off since. Pros: easy navigation, beautiful screen, great exercise tool, quality speaker phone and music player. Cons: needs more apps, and Google integration (Google now and maps}.

    The watch really has a lot of features you learn more each day you use your watch. It tracks everything, walking / running / workouts / bicycling. I was told the model I chose at the store, it doesnt text or take phone calls, however, the sales associate was wrong, it does blue tooth through your phone and it does text and take and make phone calls.

    This watch is the best tech I have bought in a while. Pairs with any Android. Battery 3 days minimum and works flawless. Great job Samsung. I'm keeping mine. The health features on this are great also. Let start with voice command. Amazing!! Change your bands. New watch. Everyday some notices it. Bluetooth with headphones at the gym.! I can go on and on.

    One of the best smartwatches

    I was reviewing watches and it came down to this or the more expensive Galaxy smartwatch (the newer version). Although this one was cheaper by over $100-$120, had a slightly slower processor, less memory...this looks wise is identical looking. That being said this watch is pretty neat, the rotating bezel is creative, and the watch itself is fairly easy to navigate. I have 5 other smartwatches and this one by far looks the best and is the fastest in terms of navigating through the apps and the watch itself. I have yet to test the workout S health app. The heart rate monitor and steps counter though (which is on automatically) is very responsive and helpful in tracking your daily caloric burn. The newer galaxy watch has a few more features then this one, but if you dont mind this watch being a bit less in terms of software and inner build, this watch is a good alternative and more affordable.

    Great Smartwatch*

    I've worn the Samsung Gear S3 as my everyday watch for about 2 months now and I am happy with the purchase. I wanted a smartwatch that would notify me of meetings, alert me of calls if I walked away from my cell, had some basic health monitors, and was something that resembled a regular wristwatch instead of a boxy Apple Watch. The Pros: Looks great. Both the Frontier and the Classic have good looking finishes and appear to be constructed well. Although I went with the Frontier for a sportier look on my big wrist, my only regret is that the Classic may stand the test of time better after a few years of abuse as the blemishes on the stainless steal casing would be better hidden. The rotating bezel is by far a more intuitive navigation tool than anything provided by other manufacturers. The biometric sensors seem generally accurate. Third party and luxury watch faces are available and will give your Gear a personalized look. The Cons: If you don't have an Android phone (or even better, a Samsung phone) this watch can be limited in what it does. I have it paired to an iPhone (until the Note 8 comes out) and it's like trying to drive your car with four large traffic cones wedged inside each wheel well. It will get you there, but you'll be wasting a lot of potential. The majority of the features like Samsung Pay, app communication and control, and the purchasing of premium watch faces and apps will be non-existent. If the plan is to stick to Apple for your handset, go with an Apple Watch. The battery life is decent. You could get 1-1.5 days on an single charge easy, but stretching it out to two days might require the power safe mode. Certain display features can eat up the power (always on display, notifications, etc.), but I charge my watch at night and all is well. The watch is on the larger size so making sure it fits your style is important--I checked mine out at Best Buy beforr purchasing. Overall, this does what I need it to do. Once I switch to a Samsung phone the features will be unleashed and I will benefit greatly. I would certainly recommend this smartwatch under the conditions i stated above. Hope this helps.
