I collect watches but this is all wear now
I love analogue watches but since buying my Samsung frontier watch I have not worn anything else. Great for counting steps and taking calls. So many more features like controlling Spotify & Samsung music. A few issues with 3rd party faces but other than that no complaints at all. Owned a year & battery still great life!

Great add on
I find the watch a great addition to my phone, and saves me getting it out all the time. I have been impressed with the battery life (get 2-3 days), which was more than what I was expecting. Visibility in daylight is passable. The watch band could be larger however, as I am on the one of the last 5 holes, on the larger included watch band.

Best smart watch
A very user friendly watch. I had the Gear S and Gear S2 in the past and I was a little disappointed. After they combined all the features and function together into Gear S3. I can't leave my house without my watch. Best investment I did. The watch is slightly bigger than the Gear S2 so some ladies might found them too big.

Perfect Smart Watch
This watch has been very handy for me, specially when i didn't have Bluetooth in my car, i can answer the call while driving without any distraction.
Top of that it looks like a watch than wearing any gadgets. Totally smartest watch in the market, which can do lots of things.

A very handy gadget
I love Samsung Gear S3 Frontier because I can now answer calls and reply SMS using this watch even if my phone is a bit far from me (usually in other room). I never miss a call now because every time I get a phone call, the Gear Frontier vibrates on my wrist.
I also like to use Samsung Pay with this watch. I no longer need to hunt for my credit or debit card to pay. Just use this watch and all done.
I also use it for making notes, checking my calendar/ schedule/ appointment, weather, fitness tracking, etc. Very very useful when travelling. Great for alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, calculator, etc.
It's such a time saver gadget.

This is perfect
Because of the heavy use of cellular phone, it was uncomfortable to take out and purchase, so I think it is more practical than ideas and function, so I do not think it is too expensive. I would strongly recommend that the groom buy me one, too.
Don't worry about it. Buy it.

Very Good but could be better
It was a big step for me to get the samsung Gear S3 but i loved it from the start, as soon as i got used to it it is a great wearable watch. now i am used to it i can see where improvements would be good. Make it slimmer and make other apps than samsung more user friendly. Battery is great

Amazing!
As a massive fan on Samsung, I was very excited to purchase the Gear 3 (Frontier) with its buff guy designs, it replaces my Gshocks. Being water resistant is a plus (just don't go swimming), with an abundant of faces to chose from, I literally have a different face for any occasion.

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.

Great Men's (or large wristed woman's) smart watch.
If you have a Samsung phone, it ties into many of the features of the phone.
There are a lot of useless applications available for free and purchase, but if you mostly use it for checking messages or health related activities, its fine.
Soooo many watch faces to choose from too.
Those old enough to know who Dick Tracey is will appreciate being able to make a phone call with the watch acting as microphone and speaker.

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.

Perfect for daily use
I love this watch, it has all the features you're looking for. It is a good daily companion for work, or excercise. I had no trouble to use it with a non Samsung mobile phone. The only trouble I have is that it wakes up frequently and disturbs both me and my wife.

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.

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.
PhilSamsung
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.
