Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this watch a few weeks ago and I love it it allows me to get all my notifications and I can reply right from the watch. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a Samsung or even an iPhone

I have had my gear S3 for a month and I find it very excellent. It's stylish looks are a welcome change from the every day square Apple watch I see everyone wearing. Battery life has been very good, functionality has been exceptional. The only thing they need to work on is allowing more 3rd party apps

I bought the cellular frontier. I wanted to use without my phone. It takes a bit to get used to using. I am still struggling over a month later on answering texts. It does not take voice messages a lot. I have to change it to drawn. I do not need or want social medias so its fine without. I love the changing watch faces. I only wish they had choice of keeping original face picked as on always on. Most I chose have a totally different lower light face it defaults to unless you are looking at watch. I want the faces i pick to show. But I did find some that have nice always on displays..but you can not see most always on until installed. Samsung Pay is the best. I use this feature EVERYWHERE!!! I had a girl ague in one store that it would not work but I tried next visit different cashier and it worked for me. I do not know if there is a limit on purchases but I had used thru holiday shopping and no glitches. My issue was hitting pay when cashier was not ready and time ran out and had to click again. Not a big deal. I purchased a chain band since my wrist is small the watch is overwhelming. But in longer sleeves it looks fine not sure how it will look in summer. My most disappointing issue was I want to leave my phone behind. I did not realize how many photos I took while hiking, shopping and scanning. So it takes time to get used to not having that option at hand. Hopefully Samsung can figure out a way to upgrade with a camera in the future. No camera is a big downfall. But It is a beautiful watch. Solid and comfortable. Oh one more thing if you cross your arms as I do because of chills or whatever reason...the phone gets leaned on and goes on and since its a touch screen ...well different scenarios there. All in all a great purchase. Charges last about a day even with shutting off display and no I do not use any of the health apps or anything other than check texts and calls and answer them. I have not used the music player as of yet...Talking to your wrist when there is background noise is comical and I did not realize how private a person I really am until you answer calls with it. I cannot wait to master it completely.

I have to say I have had many watches and had the first gear watch with the built in camera, still miss that feature for grabbing UPC codes, or pets doing something crazy. But anyway this is the first time I didn't have a Samsung watch with a Samsung note phone. I had the Moto 360 prior to the gear 3 and have to say I'm enjoying the gear 3 frontier and it's many features like using samsung pay everywhere due to the magnetic signals it can send out to any card reader. Also like being able to leave my phone home but still be able to get all notifications and phone calls. Battery life isn't bad at all considering how much I use it daily. I can easily get 2 days but know since day 3 to 4 days all depends on how hard you use it and how often. Most notifications I read from watch than use phone if needed. Hands down best watch I have owned so far. Get the phone model that way you can leave phone but still get a access remotely. If only WiFi you can't get everything remotely unless always on WiFi.

Great watch does everything I need. Replaced my fitbit with this watch. Samsung health app. Does more than the fitbit app. This watch also takes calls without it being tethered to bluetooth. Great when coaching a team or working out because you don't have to take your phone with you. It can also save you if your phone dies! Texting is also easy once you get the hang of the write to text.

I love my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. I love the rotating bezel to access apps and the widgets make doing everyday activities quick and easy. Also, this thing is durable and having the 4G LTE chip means I can leave my phone behind when necessary.

I bought this watch for a couple reasons. I work in sales outdoors and sometimes I can be out all day. This means I may not be able to get to a charger for my Samsung phone before it dies and this presents a problem since it is important for me to be able to make calls. The Gear S3 works great as a backup phone with it's LTE connection and amazing battery life. It also means I don't need to carry a portable charger for my phone, since I'm still able to make calls and text on my watch, even if my phone is out of juice. I've also been using the Gear S3 for my workouts and this is very handy in keeping track of my progress, especially when it comes to cardio. There are tons of neat features that help you to achieve your workout goals. The only downside is that it can be a bit bulky than some would prefer if you're only using it to workout. Otherwise, I love it!

I love this device when it was new. Lots of problems occurred with the battery and software from about 6 months of ownership on. Now, of course, this is mostly antiquated.

In not sure if its because thus is the Verizon model with its own cell number, but the battery life lasts more than 2 days! I had a clasic gear S2 and by the end of the 1st day, the battery was dead. This combined with all the features I like (especially the rotating bezel), this watch has it all.

This watch pairs fine with IOS mobile phones and good with Android mobile phones. Of course to get the most benefit, pair it with a Samsung mobile phone.

This watch works great with my Samsung phone and has tons of functions. There are lots of different watch faces to choose from also.

Very easy to use and a lot of features. Looks pretty good on my hand, the weight is right. Minimal set up with my samsung galaxy s8+

I was hesitant to purchase this watch after reading some of the horror stories on the web surrounding this watch after the Tizen 3.0 update. I am glad I purchased anyway. This watch is far and beyond better than any other on the market currently. The rotating bezel idea is genius. The bands are super easy and quick to change out. Some of the third party software apps are buggy and the GPS is not great, but it does do them to some degree. The screen is nice and big and bright, and the watch is a bit large but overall I would recommend it. I love the ability to leave my phone at home while working out and still be able to listen to music, track my run, and make phone calls. The person on the other end of the call can hear me very clearly. Just be aware of its limitations as a fitness tracker and if that is the most important feature for you, perhaps look into one of the other offerings available.

This is by far the best smart watch I've had. I've used all the generations of the Apple watch and this thing is a awsome. It looks and feels like a real watch it's big so it looks good on your wrist not all dinky like previous watches. Cool watch faces. Easy connectivity. Love the 4g connection.

A must have if you own a an android phone. I have a note 8 and works great . A huge selection of displays to download . I have had an an I watch and this watch is many more features .

to be honest this watch worked good for a while , after a couple months the battery used to run out in less than 5 hours , I really. liked , it was durable on the outside .

The watch is well thought out and works well. My only real gripes are just nitpicking. I downloaded a Youtube app, which is a little cumbersome to use, but hey, I can watch videos on my watch, so I can't complain much (videos will eat your battery life, though). I like the feature that shows you have a message and takes you right to the message, but I wish when I viewed the message that it would show that on the message app, but I have to go to the app to clear that message as being unread. The watch works well and has some really useful software and apps, and receives a signal quite well.

This watch works flawlessly with a long battery life. Texting is great and phone calls last about 15 minutes before watch needs to cool down. I'd highly recommend the connected edition if you forget your phone often like me.

The gear S3 looks great and works well, but could be better. The battery life is less than desirable. I use my watch as a monitor for health which significantly decreases the battery life. One would be lucky to get a full 24 hours out of the battery which means that I cannot monitor my sleep with the watch unless I dedicate 2-3 hours in the morning for charging. There are a lot of cool features but again, the more features you use, the less battery life you will have.

Great watch, similar to the previous version. The only thing I do not like is I have randomly called someone, no idea how, but they were on my favorites where I just push call or text. It also randomly just goes to my music option, which is 4 screens over so I am not sure why it keeps opening. Overall, great watch and I would recommend. Dies fast on me but I work in a hospital area where no cell phones ever work either. In general public and basic day at work battery life is great.
