Best smart watch on the market bar none

I upgraded from an old S2 Neo, to the S3. The battery life is phenomenal lasting close to 3 days whereas the S2 was about 24 hours max. Many more features, sleek design, and more functionality. I went with the AT&T version so that it will double as my phone even when my phone is off or left behind. Very easy to place and receive calls directly from the watch. It has a wide variety of native apps, including weather, and fitness. It offers the ability to read and reply to incoming emails and texts. I use my watch in lieu of my phone for everything except detailed emails/messages and google maps. I can't wait to try out the Golf pad GPS app during my next round.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Built-in speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Timely Conversation Piece!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had been using the watch for about 3 weeks now, and the first impressions are that the watch is amazing. Dont have to worry about charging it everyday(like the other smart watches I have) so that is one of the highlights. Also the audio of music playback is really good. And dont have to worry about taking it off when going for a swim as it is water resistant. Also having the GPS is a good feature as I go hiking a lot and now I have an easier way to find my way back. Also like the Find My Car option that comes with the TIZEN OS, as that is one of the biggest hassles of finding the car once we go to a mall.
One negative feedback would be is that this watch may be in a tough competition with the Android Wear 2.0 which is supposed to come out with some new features, and I am actually waiting for that.
Good feature is that the Samsung Pay is integrated with the S3, which is good, because now I dont have to carry phone if I go to gym and I need to pay for something.
The Bezel is much smooth to use compared to the S2 Classic.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, built-in mic, long battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Perfect Watch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can you say about this watch that hasn't already been said? The design is amazing. The rotating bezel works perfectly. It is infinitely customizable. Change watch faces and bands, you can have a different watch look every day! It has Samsung Pay so you can leave your wallet at home! It has an IP68 certification so it can withstand dust, dirt and water. The battery last several days on a single charge. It has a built in microphone and speaker to answer calls, reply to text, and listen to music. On top of all that it also is one of the best activity trackers on the market!
I know I just listed a bunch of things, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of all the things this watch can do.
Why have a regular watch when you can have the BEST watch!?
We previously upgraded from the Gear s2 that wasn't worn much because my husband thought he would break it. This one is more rugged, looks more durable, is more durable. We've receive so many compliments.
I've never been a watch person so I was a little hesitant to try this out. Not really because I don’t like the look of watches….I just never really saw a point. I was aware of smart watches and trackers becoming more and more popular but every time I would look one up I didn’t see enough value to sway me into the watch wearing world. Then the S3 Frontier came along…..I was pretty excited when this watch arrived. So much so that I was actually worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype I had built up in my head. It definitely exceeded it. My 1st impression as I opened the box was “Wow that’s a good looking watch.” Not just smartwatch…watch. It has such a good look to it, and as I turned it on and began exploring watch faces and learning how to do everything it was just 1 awesome discovery after another. The OS is super easy to use (love the bezel navigation), so I didn’t have to spend much time learning all of that. The only possible knock on this watch that I have found is the weight of it. That may just be due to the fact that I’ve never been a watch person though……I got used to it pretty quickly and don’t even really notice it anymore (except when I’m playing with it haha). I can pretty much guarantee my family, friends and co-workers are sick of me talking it up by now, but hey it’s that awesome. My favorite thing is seeing people’s faces when I pay with my watch!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this after having the moto 360 that wasn't really working with my new Galaxy 7 Edge, so I bought the gear s3 so far I love it. It feels great and looks great Thanks Samsung for making an outstanding smart watch.
