    having two apple watches from the time they were first released I've been very satisfied with everything they do.The only thing I dislike about apple watch is the the dial call me old school but I want watch that has a round dial.when the samsung gear 2 came out I liked that round dial ,thought was good looking watch but not ios compatible.When the Samsung Gear3 came out an stated ios compatible i started lookin at gear3 frontier mode.l had to have one but i wondered what apple watch apps might not work with the samsung Gear3. But i bought it anyway at best buy. I downloaded the samsung watch app an had my apple X phone paired less in 5 minutes still in the parking lot at best buy.Samsung owners manual stated you would not be able to receive text messages on the gear3 watch.But on the third day my gear3 watch started receiving text messages an all my other apple watch apps work fine on my gear3.Some of the things this gear3 does is more user friendly then apple watch ,I'am totally satisfied.

    I am a medical assistant and this is the perfect watch for an on the go person in the medical field. I'm able to stay connected to loved ones while working my 12-15 hour shifts. The battery life and ability to be used while on wifi is ideal so I can leave cell phone locked in locker.

    I bought this watch as an upgrade to my old Pebble watch. I liked the fact this one had GPS built in. It tracks your pulse, location, gives you steps, mileage, it even tracks your sleep fairly accurately. None of these devices are spot on, but I think the margin of error is acceptable. If you are into fitness and tracking numbers, this thing is endlessly customizable. So there is a learning curve, but it is worth it.

    After having several fitbits break I decided to step up to the S3 after seeing it in the store. Initially I thought the face would be too big for my wrist, but I'm glad I took the plunge. I use it mainly as a fitness watch but I love being able to receive phone calls and text. I don't regret the purchase.

    Great Smart Watch.... Not so much Fitness watch

    This watch is incredible for all of it's smart watch features. Here are my favorite features and dislikes: PROS: Ability to store and play music straight from the watch, without the need of the phone. Ability to connect headphones to watch for music. I don't have to take my phone with me on my runs anymore. Color display is incredible. Bezel for controls is silky smooth and very easy to use. Touch screen sensitivity is also smooth as silk. Direct call and text from watch is very useful and easy to use. Very comfortable to wear. CONS: As a fitness watch it is lacking a lot of key features. Not waterproof enough to go swimming. Only water resistant. Samsung Health program is confusing and very difficult to use compared to Garmin Connect and My Fitness Pal. Watch will not since with other fitness apps...... Only Samsung Health which is very poor. Can't add or delete activities from watch selection. So weight training, Cross-fit, HIIT, Kayaking/Canoeing, and many other activities cannot be tracked except under "other". Battery life is terrible. I use it all day for normal use, and for two workouts daily. Each workout runs about 90 minutes. With just this little bit of activity it drains the battery down to 40%. So it would be useless on a weekend hike or backpacking trip. Unless you charge nightly. Garmin fenix series lasts up to four days with this much use. Overall it is,a great watch and I love it. I still use it daily. However, I use my garmin fenix to track all of my fitness activities. As a smart watch I strongly recommend. But as a serious fitness watch, I cannot recommend this watch.

    I switched over to this watch from a Samsung Gear Fit 2. I have had this for over a month now and have not had any issues with it. Can't really find any negatives except for the price.

    This is the best of both worlds. Activity tracker, sleep tracker, plus apps and a watch all on your wrist! Plus, it doesn't look goofy like other trackers and smart watches. It's a manly looking watch and extremely functional at the same time! One of the best things Samsung has ever made in my opinion.

    Coming from the Apple world I wasnt sure I would like this better than my Apple Watch. This far exceeds my expectations. I can use this to pay at far more places, it's more customizable, and the battery lasts much longer. I've been enjoying this since the day I bought it.

    After Pebble's services stopped working this was the next best smartwatch for me. Does everything the pebble did and more. The battery life lasts me all day even with the display always on. Not quite the battery life of a pebble but it charges while I sleep and it's good to go all day.
