Hi Folks,
Anyone considering buying this watch should not buy it. It is touted as a fitness watch for active people, yet it is super fragile. The back glass has cracked on mine and i dont even wear it outdoors. In less than a month after receiving it as a gift i felt a harsh scratching on my wrist and there i discovered its glass is smashed..... I never dropped it or mishandled it. it is super fragile. Buy a real outdoor watch perhaps an apple. Samsung wont fix and the youngster at JB HiFi was quick to accuse me of dropping it. Its cracks eminate from the two charging point on the rear, so check yours if you have one, other than that it looks great as a bedside table alarm clock.

Hi, is the Samsung Gear S3 watch compatible with Oppo phones?
4 answers
Hi Sez,
I think as long as you download the Samsung watch app it should be OK. The watch is even compatible with IOS so it should be compatible with other Android devices.

Hi Sez, unfortunately Oppo is not a compatible device for the Gear S3 - Here is a link to the listed devices that are compatible https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/gear-s3-compatible-android-devices/

Before you buy, if you want to use it as an outdoor watch for activities, perhaps look elsewhere. The glass back is super fragile and subject to cracking and cutting you. Mine is less than a month old and it has cracked where the charging diodes are...... so consider other options or buy the real rugged one.

I bought Samsung gear s3 frontier from jbhifi does it have lte and what is LTE?
1 answer
PhilSamsung
Hi Simon, the Gear S3 Frontier does not come in an LTE version - LTE means it is a 4G mobile communications standard. Currently only the Galaxy watch comes with an LTE version.

How far away from my mobile can the Samsung gear s3 frontier still make calls and receive notifications?

Hi Simon! Thanks for your question. Generally the radius for Bluetooth is 15 metres, even though your device gets disconnected, as soon as you are within distance again, your notifications will automatically come up and you will be notified.
