I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it when I first made the purchase because I was used to Android Wear. However, after giving it a try, I really like it. Built quality is excellent.
- The strap was stiff at first, but it got softer over time.
- I accidentally knocked it on stuff multiple times, but I hardly see any scratches or dents.
- Battery last me a few days. Much better than most, if not all, Android Wear watches.
The only downside is the lack of compatible apps. There are enough apps for what I use it for, but there are a few that I wish they were available.

I've owned this watch for a few months now, and I love it. I have had it paired with the Galaxy s7 and it works great. I had it activated for a few months, which is a nice option, especially if you want to go out and about and leave you phone behind. The battery life on it is good, I can go a little over a day on one charge. I've tried this watch without a cellular plan, and it works fine, you just won't be able to get your notifications unless you're on wifi.

Got this as an after thought with promotion offer while upgrading to the new S8. Love it. What can't it do? Endless watch faces available for free. Can store music, has its own speaker, can use independently for calls/texts, voice commands easy to use, can access emails and on and on. Never expected I would love this watch so much. Highly recommended.

I had purchased the Apple watch for my girlfriend, and realized how useful such a watch would be to me. I purchased the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, AT&T version (with its own cell number). I got a great deal on it, and it works flawlessly with my phone and apps, and fits my needs perfectly. It is so much nicer and easier to use than the Apple Watch, too.

I got it as a gift for my bf. He loves it. It's a bigger watch comparable to gshocks and sportier looking than the other one. Perfect for when quick checks of text messages, quick phone calls, etc. It measures your heart rate and tracks your steps. Getting an independent phone line is not necessary if you don't plan on leaving your phone behind.

I have a larger phone and it’s not always easy to take out of my pocket quickly but being able to glance at the watch is great.

It is the best, but I'm still waiting for Samsung to bring back the design of the Gear S (for men - it's the best design, but it would have to have a different charger for the curved watch, similar to the Gear S3) and the camera feature from the original Gear, all that with the features, including chip, of the Gear S3..

This is a attractive watch. I love but it needs a lot of improvements before I could justify the current price. Some of the features needs to be expanded more like the messaging feature and the app selection. The apple watch has a better app selection, but this is a better looking watch. I love the amount of watch faces you can have and the fact that you can change your bands.

Changed the watch at 1 year exactly because it wouldn't turn on after restarting it. Rubber/ plastic gasket under the face, would come apart little by little until the face would not spin. Best buy no longer sold the watch for AT&T which made me go to AT&T only. I'm with the 2nd watch now. Let's see

I love it! Only downside is that if you have your phone off and operating with the watch alone, depending on how close you are to a signal, or can quickly run the battery down by constantly searching for coverage. While in good coverage or connected to your phone, the battery lasts a long time and charges fast, wirelessly.

Best Buy price matched an ad I brought in so I didn't have to wait for shipping from the other place.
Compare to my last smart watch, which wouldn't last the day, I am totally thrilled that this chugs on for days.
Still learning all of the amazing features. ..

A sound smartwatch

The watch seems a little have at first, but after a week of steady wearing it feels completely normal. The Gear S3 has a good build quality and have had no problem attaching various bands. There are a few things i do not care for currently. The app store's lack of apps that are compatible with this device (which is sure to improve). If you plan to purchase this device having plans to insert an att compatible sim card, you must know that the Gear S3 ATT variant has its sim card hard wired to the circuit board. If you do not have service through ATT, your looking at spending 40$ a month to be able to use this device independently of a smartphone. Also, in regards to the sim card, you may use this variant 100% when paired through bluetooth or wifi. When you are disconnected from both, you will have an annoying alert that sounds and reads MM2 SIM NOT PROVISIONED every time you make any movement with your wrist. The error will not go away only with activating the sim card with ATT. Overall it's great smartwatch that you are sure to get noticed wearing.

Lots of apps available for it. Love that it integrates with SHealth tri track activities, heart rate and sleep. Only issue is it thinks I am cycling when I ride my motorcycle so my calories are off. Only thing missing is BP monitor
