incoming emails, look up scores through ESPN, operate the music on my phone, make payments with samsung pay and even make phone calls. The speaker on the watch is amazing and makes it so easy to take a call and have a conversation. If you need to be hands free or want to look at something on your phone while having a call the watch is the best way to do that. The speaker is loud, it never has connectivity issues and the other side of the line has no idea your using the watch vs being on the phone (unlike how you can tell when someone uses speaker phone). Also it is very simple (one button) to switch a call from your phone to your watch and vice versa.
Another great feature about the watch is S health. I already have S health set up on my phone so that synced right away and its great all the things you can do with the watch. You can keep track of your steps, floors climbed, water drank, coffee drank, and your inactivity time. For anyone who is into fitness this watch is awesome.
Samsung pay on the watch is the last feature that had a big impact on my opinion. Once you load the cards on your watch, just like on your phone, you can use them almost anywhere (as long as they have a card swipe function) to pay for stuff. The awesome thing is you dont even need to have your phone to make the purchase, max of 5 in this scenario. The only negative is that the phone app isn't fully synced with the watch and you will need to add cards to the watch even if you already have them on the phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great watch with great battery life love my watch so far.

I have been quite surprised after using my Grear S3 for a week. I am much impressed by the battery life it provide and the options to provide extra saving of the battery. It lasts about 4 to 5 days with the notifications turned off and connected via Bluetooth. Even last longer with the power saving mode. I have been using the other android watches for quite a bit. This is my favorite one.
The watch faces look great and best among the watch lineup that available in the market. I had a Bluetooth version of the S3. The Samsung pay without the need to carry the phone is super awesome. I had it for last 3 months and i am very surprised to say there are 0 issues with the watch.
The quality of the bands are so good i just want to leave them on forever.
I am quite impress by the activity monitor taking though the day even when sleeping. the app sore has pretty useful apps which are very useful. some more useful apps would be great. it would also be great if there is a battery drain indicator for every app available on the market. I have seen some 3rd part apps on the market drain more battery.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, always on display, good for small wrist incuded small band, super quality materials
I would recommend this to a friend!

It would be perfect but constant screen lockouts
on March 18, 2017

I absolutely love this watch. The ability to swipe and pay is fantastic. The problem is it forces you to put the screen lock on with a pin. First the numbers for the pin are so small and odd shaped that 9 out of 10 they are wrong. Then it asks for the pin when looking at text messages or mail notifications. never has it asked for the pin when actually using the pay program.
The tilt to display has a mind of it's own. And the ability to understand what notifications are waiting from the home dial is confusing.
It could be so much more. But I go back forth every day whether to return it or not.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, constant pin for no resason

Love the design. But needs Android Wear OS.

This is by far the best designed smartwatch out there. Shame Tizen is a dealbreaker. Please make an Android Wear version.
Pros: amazing design
Cons: tizen, needs android wear
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
