Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best battery life! Nice design and size the gear 2 was too small. Can't wait for the gear 4 to come out!.............. .........................

My biggest like for this watch is the looks. It really looks great and feels nice. The band is extremely comfortable, the case looks great and there are a lot of neat looking faces available. Oh and the charge will last for several days. My biggest beef? This is the "explorer" model yet it isn't waterproof? This was A HUGE bummer. Samsung has been kicking Apple's butt for generations now with their phones being waterproof but now the Apple watch is waterproof but the Samsung isn't. Shame really... I have an iPhone 6s so the pairing can be a little finicky at times and there are some apps like Here WeGo that aren't available for whatever reason but I didn't get the watch for its compatability or integration...I got it because it looks, feels and acts like a nice watch that also does some neat tricks. So overall a great looking watch that always gets compliments, feels nice to wear and holds a charge for several days. Again my only reason for not giving 5 is I can't believe this thing isn't waterproof at all. This is the first watch I've worn in A LONG time that I have to worry about jumping into the pool with which is a major bummer.

I love my Gear S replacement! I just wish it had a larger display similar to the Gear S and a stronger bluetooth connection. Everything else is great and the battery life is amazing- I can go 4 days before recharging.

I had purchased 3 different samsung watches in the past but this on is by far the best one I ever own. It's design and craftsmanship it's just great. The fact that samsung pay is included is a plus. Liked it so much I decided to get the classic design as well

Big upgrade from S2 Classic, battery lasts multiple days (3 - 4 depending on use). Love the AT&T Number Sync feature so that I don't have to have my phone with me to receive texts and phone calls.

The setup and operation of the device was easy. AT&T had a little problem syncing the phone numbers, but once they figured out, there have been no problems. Love it.

This product has met and surpassed my wishs. Not only is it clear to see when a watch but the faces can change to meet the need of the occasion. Was easy to link to my phone. Every feature that I read on a review that it can do, it did. The clarity when a incoming call comes in was amazing and even was the ability to text messages when needed. The battery is long lasting and the apps are endless.

The watch is NOT big. Keep seeing reviews stating the watch is big. It is smaller than the Gear S, which this one replaced. Great battery life. 55% or better at end of day, with Bluetooth connected to phone all day. The rotating dial for controlling watch took about a week for me to get used to, then it became second nature. Gear App store has many great free dials,and many great free apps too. Bought several after market watch bands, watch looks great.

Samsung has out did them selfs. this watch does it all and style and design is far and above the rest. It even will work for I phone..

I previously had the Gear S2 and from a design standpoint the S3 is leaps and bounds above. The added functionally of Samsung Pay working like it does on the phone allows it to work in more places than just the nfc in the gear s2. Glad I made the upgrade.

Great smart watch - GSM 4G LTE connectivity without a phone. I'm using AT&T and have number sync with my phone's number, so *as long as the phone is off or in airplane mode* I get my texts and calls straight to the watch wherever I'm at. Thanks to the loop pay tech baked into Samsung Pay, I can use it to pay for things even when no NFC terminal exists - almost always to the delight of merchants. The downside is the glitchy nature of the software (Gear app on my android). My primary phone is an iPhone and use my Samsung phone primarily as a host for my watch. It's frustrating that even when you're connected the Gear store will tell you that you aren't and can't download apps or watch faces. The ability to control the way watch faces display info or apps share data, and even the limited apps available due to the fact that it's operating on Tizen OS makes for a slightly frustrating experience. I also own an Apple Watch (2nd Gen) and love it too - but the Samsung with Samsung pay and Independent LTE connectivity is much more capable. Bottom line, if you're a techie who can deal with a less than "Apple-easy" experience in order to have a true "unconnected" smart watch (that looks like a watch!!) that makes mobile payments (a much more secure way to pay as well) a cinch, go get the watch and you won't be disappointed.

Track my steps, check my messages, and use Samsung Pay almost every single day. Great purchase.

This watch is amazing. Plenty of battery to last for well over 1 day. Great feel and features

He loves it and wears it everyday. Great gift for a techie

My husband got this for me for Christmas. I was not too thrilled when I hear we had to pay for a data plan for it. I am still having problems trying to get everything set up. On my Neo I would get my heart rate when working out, I don't on here and that was pretty important to me. I have looked at options and I haven't found anything yet, but that's the problem with this one, it is hard to find the options on most things. I wanted a face that showed me the weather and all I could find is the Weather Channel one which when you touch it it goes in to an hourly forecast but a lot of times it gets stuck and I have to reboot it. When I delete the alerts for email, even if I have looked at them, it downloads them again and beeps with every one. Getting 10 beeps in a row is very annoying. I have only used the phone feature once when someone called me. I don't know if it was Bluetooth from my phone or if it was the Gear itself but it was horrible. A lot of static. I never had that with my Neo. I also don't like that I have to carry around the charger. You have no other option and it isn't the smallest. And Samsung problem is that they never think of the woman that are using this. My Neo was big but this is much bigger and I have a very tiny wrist, so that is annoying. Plus on both there is a rubber type band. I thought it made it look cheap, so I bought a metal linked band. If you haven't had a product like this before, then you probably would like it's features because you have nothing to compare it to. There are a few options that are nice but I still like my Neo better.

An absolutely gear smart watch! Looks and feels classy. I work construction and it has held up! Also love when my phone dies I can still talk in my watch!

This was an early Christmas gift for sister -- she loves it! It looks like just a classic watch but it functions as a fitness tracker too. It's slicker and more functional than a regular fit bit. So far she seems to enjoy it. Even as a stand alone watch, it's pretty!

I have enjoyed my watch. I notice it will stay charged throughout the day. Sometimes it does get low pretty quick depending on how many notifications you receive. I use it at the register just for quick responses.

Battery life is outrageous, good for two days with heavy use. Looks great, very comfortable, enjoying it. One of my best purchase this year.

Does everything it says it will do plus more. The only downside for me is the number sync stops working about every 3 to 4 days and I have to restart the watch.
