Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (page 3 of 7)

This is my second smart watch - the first being an el-cheapo no-name model just to try them out.

The difference between the two watches is amazing and I am really glad I paid the extra to get a quality item this time. Looks great, fantastic selection of watch faces to choose from, step counter, heart rate, excercise tracker, sleep monitor, etc all work great & even with some limitations due to being paired with my i-phone rather than a samsung phone is still a fantastic pair up. (Still believe that although apple make the best phones, th...

This watch is a vital part of my day to day accessories. Touch system is very good. Fitness app is very good with complete analysis if my exercise amd cardio etc. rotating part of watch is very satisfactory. A smaller size for female users will be a good change. 100% recommended

I have had the Frontier for 3 months and in that time there are 4 scratches on the glass. The functions are OK but you would expect Samsung to try to have a tougher glass. I followed up and Samsung advised me it is no problem. This is suppose to be a watch for activity and not just display so make it for that and don't hide behind the name

It has to be the worst piece of technology there is. Brought mine is Dec 17 and had no complaints for about 2 months but then battery life started to reduce. In March 18 full charge will last only few hours which was somewhat resolved by factory reset (charge lasted a day max instead of 2 in the first few months). This saga continued till 1st week of July (battery life will progressively reduce and then factory reset will improve it somewhat).

Did software update in July and all health app related app related functionality was gone. Will not...

It's a good watch (especially if you have Samsung phone assign to it)
- Long battery life - I had mine for about a year now and it still lasts me about 3 days
- Perfect substitute for mobile phone - any calls./messages/notes - you see them straight away and can either respond/ignore/decline with one move of a finger
- Pay option is a handy tool if you are into that
- It's not that great with counting steps/any other exercise activity. But then again, it was not designed specifically for that (like Garmin or Fitbit watches)
- The watch is pretty bulky. I love that it looks like a proper watch, but it's SUPER heavy and lacks band options (from actual Samsung store)

I purchased the Frontier based on its looks and the glossy internet sales. In short I bought the hype because I know someone who has one and loves it. The features on the watch are all there as advertised however they are not really functional as follows. The heart rate monitor only works if the watch is uncomfortably tight or you stop mid exercise and push it up against your skin to get a reading. It cannot be left on to do continuous reading as it flattens the battery within 6 hours. The watch face does not come on when you want it to but glo...

I went to europe and wore it everywhere as it has amazing battery life. tracked my steps and weather update was great. It allows you to change the watch face without using your phone nad you can put your watch face.
Look forward to getting new bands . I will recommend it highly!!! I have samsung phone too.

This watch it’s nice and classic I just wear it everyday to work and sleep can’t live without it omg it’s got a warranty I went to Samsung store to pre order this and they send me this beautiful classic watch it’s perfect for any one that you would give it to

I got this watch 3 months ago and I couldn't be happier. Seamless connection via Bluetooth to my phone. The battery last 3 days also it tracks my sleep, exercise and other health things. I can also make and receive calls and text messages via it and use it as a GPS.

I love my watchz especially when I'm always on the go I can just talk and text via the watch. Can hold charge for 3 or 4 days which is great. Wish there was more variety on the app store of face changes. Comes with 1 year warranty which is great but could be better with 2 years.. overall great watch and better then my old Apple watch.

At first reiw, it is nice looking, when tried it with connecting the phone. Everything runs good so far. Also the samsung pay function is cool eough. I choose a black frointer one, with a replaceable belt inside and a warrantly
And statement. Looks professional, Apperaciate it.hope to see more update function can help to improve our daily life.

I was after a smart watch that can be used at work to get notifications and answer calls and monitor my steps. Samsung gear 3 meets all my expectations.
It's very easy to use, screen is very nice and clear, rough look perfect for my work, reasonable price too. Very happy

The Gear S3 Frontier smartwatch is a great tool for those who like to experiment with new tech and want to avoid always grabbing for their phone. However, my experience with the Gear S3 was a little lacklustre.

When I got the watch, I was unaware the operating system was Tizen 3, not Android Wear, and there just aren't any decent apps developed for Tizen watches. The watch was an excellent timekeeper, heart rate monitor, timer and messenger, but that's all it's really good at.

Battery life was very nice, lasting as long as 5 days without recharging, however with certain preferences changed, battery life was reduced to around a day and-a-half.

Overall, it's a great watch. But that's about it. Just a watch.

Its features are great and easy to navigate through. Tracke your walking and you can send messages and see who's calling and can speak through it instead of being caught holding your phone. It's an awesome watch to wear comes with it's own charger and literally can use it every where either at work or at home if your phones on charge

Excellent time piece. Easy connectivity on the go. Wish the battery was of bit bigger capacity but lasts enough for a day. Charging it during peak Sydney summer can be bit tricky as it'll not charge as expected until the environment cools down a bit. Comfortable to wear and operate.

Keeps me well organised. Reminders & events are synced from phone otherwise I can punch it in using watch. Helps you to keep track of health as well e.g. it checks your heart rate. Style-wise, it would be nice to have a variety of other styles. Current styles look a little masculine.

I will be bias here because it is one of the greatest gifts that my hubby got me. He has tried to pick up his A game since getting it but cooking me dinner makes me happy too!
I adore this watch and I tell everyone how much I love it to the point where my fellow nurse buddies have bought it for themselves or their partner!

Positives: answering calls on the watch is so convenient especially when exercising and my phone is in a gym bag or fitness band
So many apps that are so convenient.
Everyone is banned at work from using their phone so...

I love every product from Samsung. I have used every wearable from samsung this is the best of every product i used. I wish it was little bit bigger as i have a big wrists.love the rotating mechanism. Very useful.original wrist bands are bit expensive though there are many clone products available.

This is my first smart watch and I'm impressed. Although I read there were some problems with syncing the Samsung Gear S3 with iOS devices I've learned to live with them and a very happy user. After first turning on my watch it connects quickly to my iPhone 6 and will show me emails and texts etc, but my minor irritation is that the weather won't always update via the same initial connection. Sometimes I need to go to the app on the phone and connect and then the weather updates. My other minor irritation is that occasionally the watch will thi...

This device is great potentially the best smart watch that is on the market right now. However its fatal flaw is the cost. It's very expensive compared to other branded smart watches and it does pretty much the same as every other smart watch. It has great features such as the ability to answer calls, make calls, answer and send text message aswell as making payments with samsung pay.

Definitely would recommend for those with a good amount of money for very high return.

This watch is slow and not as functional as I was hoping. I ended up leaving the screen always on because half of the time the screen on gesture didn't work. Integration with Google isn't great and I should have checked out google watches first. Overall I don't recommend this watch. It's handy to check notifications instead of on your phone (which is why I bought it) but even then it is too slow.

Handy to have, reduces the frequency of me pulling my phone out of my pocket and therefore the likelihood of me dropping my phone. It's not something I would have bought but I got it with my phone and I've found it pretty handy to have so would likely make sure I have one from here on out. Battery life is good (3-4 days) and it's pretty robust. Unfortunately they are not waterproof therefore I had to buy a cheap waterproof watch for paddle boarding etc. Great for taking calls and controlling music, you can even download your Spotify play lists to it so you don't need to carry you phone with you while running etc.

Downside is that the charging is a bit flaky sometimes though unplugging the cradle and plugging back in seems to fix it.

This watch replaces so many gadgets. Phone functions (take calls, send and receive texts as well as emails), fitness tracker, gps nav, music player just to name a few. Interchangeable wrist bands to change aesthetics based on personal style or occasion. Long battery life. Comes beautifully packaged and makes the Perfect gift

I have no complaints whatsoever. It's perfect. Have been wearing it everyday for the past year, and I'm extremely happy with it. However, I eventually opted for a g-shock and stopped wearing it because I needed a tough watch to be able to handle some shock. Although the build quality of the Gear S3 is really awesome, it can scratch a little easily if you, say, bang your hand on a wall while walking.

Bought as present for hubby. He wears it almost 24hrs. Recharges fast. Tracks everything and more. Practical. Stylish. Modern. Goes with everything with interchangeable bands and faces. Gps tracking. easy to find lost phone. Ultimate gadget. Love tracking sleeping patterns. Steps. You name it
Cons would be good to have camera.

Overall in love
