Bad battery life
The S3 is a great watch with all the usual features, but mine is now 12 months old and needs to be charged every night compared to every third when new.
Purchased in November 2021 at Samsung Physical store for $499.00.

Good smartwatch if thats what you are after
No major issues with this smartwatch, battery life is solid, interface is convenient, a little bit thick on the wrist but is fairly stylish and have no issues with performance. Only real issue is with the functionality itself, don't tend to get much use out of this other than checking notifications and even then, is much easier to get my phone out and reply.
Purchased in March 2021 at eBay for $200.00.

Great product!
Got this as a gift for Christmas. Didn't think I would use it much but have definitely enjoyed the fitness features and being able to see calls and messages. I'm usually really bad at answering calls on my mobile but this has helped. I also check my phone less overall. I like appearance of it, although it's pretty chunky on my arm. Overall, good product.

Very Useful!
Very stylish watch.....get lots of comments about it!
Pros - lots of apps and watch face available online, handy wireless charging, great for fitness monitoring - pulse, steps; bands can be bought online & customised to what you are wearing and they are easily changed
Cons - needs to be recharged every night, can't make calls on it like my older Samsung Gear S2 Neo

Fabulous watch.
I got it with the samsung Galaxy 8 plus, quite good. Track your daily steps, call your family/friends, easy bluetooth connection, listen to music, play games, track your heart beat maby more apps to download from store. Its a mini smart phone on your wrist or a mini pc I should say....

Samsung s3 classic
The s3 classic is a perfect match to my s9 plus and virtually you can do anything that a mobile phone can do!
Answer calls and text on the go! After owning this smart watch for 12 month i am still impressed with the long lasting battery that can last for four days and at anytime you can download new watch faces that are cheap and impressive .use as a fitness trackee link to your Samsung health! I would be lost with out it!
If you are thinking of buying one shop around first and weigh up your options before buying and if you decide to buy the Samsung S3 gear classic highly recommended

Great watch just not for me
This watch is the best one out there right now especially if you have a Samsung phone. I was really excited to get this as soon as it came out and it does a very good job too. My only thing is, my wrist is way too thin so the watch itself was a bit heavy and looked bulky on me. Otherwise it is really the best smart watch.

Can't live without it, not perfect though
This watch was a birthday present and has changed the way I use my phone. With my phone battery getting old and losing charge, I don't want to get it out of my pocket and turn the screen on all the time to find out what notification I'm being told about now! The watch allows me to do this at the flick of my wrist. The call feature has revolutionised things for me too. I use it as a hands free when I'm driving and as a loudspeaker when I want other people to hear a conversation.
My complaints are that the settings and menus are tricky to use ...Read more
and set up. I spent a lot of time setting it up how I wanted it which means using your phone to configure it. When I got a new phone all my settings were lost! I had to start from scratch with the companion app on my phone. That highlighted that it is only an extension of your phone and not a device that can operate well untethered. It connects to the WiFi when you're phone isn't near but this is rarely useful. There are lots of apps available but I'm struggling to find any that work as advertised and actually improve my life. Lots of gimmicks and watch faces. I am finding that in the last 3-4 months it has slowed down incredibly. I push a button and wait 5 seconds before it responds, just like old Android phones. It's less than a year old! I'm tech savvy and I'm not sure why, I can't even imagine how frustrated someone who is not feels about it. This is especially annoying when you just want to know what the time is. In this area it really falls down. It's sometimes quicker to get your phone out than it is to get your watch to respond. And there's plenty of apps that it doesn't show the time in. You have to exit the app to tell the time and God only knows how to get back into the app quickly. Showing the time should be a permanent feature of a watch. The watch flick feature is also frustratingly unfriendly. It seems every time you flick your wrist to turn on the screen it doesn't work and whenever you don't want a bright torch on your wrist illuminating the environment - or right in your eye when you're trying to sleep, it works! It's annoying having to have a free hand to press a button to tell the time. I've realised I spent most of this review complaining about the watch but it is really a revolutionary product. I do need to spend time to work it all out and set it up again how I like. I feel that if research why it slows down or hard reset it I'd be happier with it but I just don't have that time to put into my watch. I just want it to work. There is so much potential in this watch you just need to invest the time to unlock it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Once a Samsung fanSydney
Rusted inside without being used in water
I bought a Samsung Gear S3 over a year ago and it was working well, very happy with it. Until it stopped charging properly and the 'Back' button stopped responding. It was sent back to Samsung as it was still under warranty, and I have been told that it has extensive water damage and they will not cover it under warranty.
This watch has NEVER been used in water - at the most, water might have splashed on it when washing hands in the sink. It is used extensively on the golf course and as an accessory when travelling to/from work. That is it.

Love This Device
It looks like a regular watch and I really like the way it looks but it is so stealth. I can make calls on it. You should have seen the looks on my parents faces the first time I took a call on it - they thought I was acting.
It is really handy to get my notifications just there on my wrist and it has an excellent fitness tracker too. The only real downside is that there is another bit of tech to charge but I really like it and it runs for ages just in watch mode.

Beautiful watch
I received this watch for Christmas from my Husband after my poor Fitbit Surge had finally died. This watch is great and very stylish compared to the old fitbit. The only negative would be that the watch face is very large on my small female wrist. I do love everything else about it though.

Perfect can not live without it
This is one of my favipourite smart watch as it consists of a very portable design that allows for very convent calling on the watch without calling while holding on to the phone. It is also very convienent as I can store music onto the device without bringing my phone outside

Pretty nifty
We've just bought one of these for my son and it's so impressive that I've been pinching it to play with. It does EVERYTHING. I love its fitness features but I guess they could be compared to many fitness watches. What sets this apart as a smartwatch is that it does many things a smartphone does. You can even watch YouTube videos on it. Okay, the screen's a bit small for that but you can't deny it's impressive. It syncs with Apple, Samsung and Microsoft devices, too.

appearance is great
I bought this Samsung watch so that I can check text message during work. I only rated 3 stars as there was crack when it was still new. I then did some research and use marker to fix it. Besides, I receive notification when I receive new emails, however, I am unable to read the emails context using this watch. It will be great if I can read emails using it.

use it every day
Was looking around for my first smartwatch and naturally selected this Samsung gear watch to pair with my with Samsung S5 via Bluetooth. Step counter is very accurate and can take the odd splash of water. Samsung Health is a very useful app to add friends and family to have friendly competition with.

Terrible Screen
This is just a review for the screen. I had a screen protector on the watch and I was cranking this lever and i let go and it hit the watch and there was a huge crack in the protector but the watch was mostly fine except a small crack in the edge of the watch by the 35. Honestly worried it's gonna spread and ruin my device.

Great Features for a Smart Watch
I love the fact that it looks and feels like you're using a normal watch, until you look to use the extra inbuilt features. Its a very handy and is great for helping keep me organised at work, looks nice as a fashion accessory and the battery lasts alot longer than some of its competitors.
