This is my second Gear I have been using my S2 for many years and it has been flawless. My last watch went through much abuse and never gave a problem. I finally replaced it because the trim on the rotating ring came off and one of the buttons was hard to push. With all the abuse that watch went through I am confident this S3 watch will last me many years. Even after the severe abuse I put that watch through the finish still shined and looked great. I highly recommended Samsung Gear watches they are top quality and worth the small amount they are selling for and much more in my opinion. Samsung pay works just as good using the watch as it does using my phone, I use Samsung pay often. The battery on the S3 lasts for days much longer than the S2, l last charged my watch over 24hrs ago and it still has 69% charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this watch for over 2 years and I am absolutely amazed by the product!!! There have been no issues with it what so ever, It is still water proof, holds a charge for nearly 5 days, and very rugged and resistable to scratches. Also love that it actually looks like a watch.

It's replaced my Omega and Movado as 'go to' watch

I played around with this watch when I first got it, got myself confused so settled down and researched it. Great watch face that I leave on and at 46mm it feels just right. First thing I did after playing was put a black ion SS band on it instead of chintzy rubber. Two things I wish it had: better water resistance; it should be able to use quick charger. It flat out is a pleasure to use and looks great.

Very poor battery life, even on power save

Received as a Christmas gift, It looks great and has an impressive array of capabilities, however, the battery life on this thing is HORRIBLE. With several features enabled, battery lasts less than a day. With power save on, I've managed to eek 2 days out of it. Problem is, If I wanted to use any features, I'm married to having the charger nearby. I haven't used it in watch only mode yet, but that mode kind of defeats the purpose of having a smart watch. So, I equate this product to a performance car that has a 2 gallon gas tank... It could be sooo much better if you could leverage the full functionality of this thing, however, battery life makes this thing almost useless. I've looked up and employed all the battery saving videos on line, and there are plenty of them... Battery life is definitely a major flaw here...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

S3 living up to the challenge.

I purchased this watch about 3 weeks ago with some reservations. I read a lot of decent reviews from people who loved it, then I read some horror stories about the battery life. I really wasn't sure that about it. So I took a leap of faith and purchased one. I have owned Samsung products for years now and they have almost always seemed to live up to my expectations. The S3 is very functional and is very impressive for a watch, the battery life is pretty good. I haven't had any issue with it not lasting all day. I know they advertise 3 day life but let's be real, nothing every runs as long as it is advertise. Over all I am very pleased with the watch, it is pretty nice. Thanks Samsung......

Could have been GREAT

Sometimes hangs - see images but I would still give it 5 stars if it wasnt for virtually no apps
App selection is pretty SAD There's a handful of apps and most of them have issues.
S voice is useless S Health stops half way during bike ride and congratulates you even thou you're still biking :) Or records a run when you're driving a car LOL
Biggest mistake is not going with Android Wear :(
Disappointing
Pros: Bright display, cool design
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no apps, no android wear, gets stuck, s health is stupid and gets stuck
