With each new release in their S series, Samsung gets closer to nailing this market. Added features and tech make this watch the best on the market. That does not mean that its without flaw, but its plus sides far out weigh the short comings. If you're looking for a smart watch that does it all and syncs seamlessly to your android phone...look no further.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, can text from the watch, can take and make calls, battery life
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have previously owned an android watch and several pebble watches, I curious and scepticall about owaning a Samsung watch. Now that I have one (Gear S3 Frontier) I can say I love it. Although it has room for improvement, the s3 has become a primary replacement for my other android gear. Keep it up Samsung.
Pros: attractive, looks like a watch, easy to use, great bluetooth controlike and capabilities, great for exercise
Cons: not enough apps available, not compatible with google now (hey google) or goo, not compatible with google messenger, not compatible with google maps
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Gear S3 Frontier has an awesome look and feel. It is great straight out of the box but the endless ability to customize it is what really convinced me to go with this particular watch.
I waited and waited for my Samsung Gear S3. I ordered it from Samsung late November 2016 and received it in January. The wait was worth it. I am happy with everything except one thing. I wanted the Gear S3 to have Verizon 4G. When I figured out that this was not going to happen (maybe some future date) I decided to go with the Bluetooth version which has worked out very nicely.
All features are excellent and the battery life is great. I can actually get 4 days if I needed. I don't find the size any problem. Many people I know wear conventional watches that are larger than the Gear S3.
Thanks Samsung for a great product, but hurry up and get the Verizon 4G option going.
Helps me put down my phone, and prompts me to be more active

Have only had about a week. But I love it already. I am not normally a watch person, but the main feature that caught my attention was the Samsung pay, and it works great, Better than my S7. So far battery looks to last around 2 days. Sleeping 8 hours takes about 4-5 % but that charges back to 100% before I am finished getting ready in the AM (about 15 min.) Love the remote camera option, and being able to remotely turn off my phone alarm in the AM with just a swipe on the watch and not having to see the bright screen (even if on lowest setting) when having to wake up. So far my only negative comment is the watch faces. Soooo many are so similar, it is like there is no point, and many don't have good definition or color contrast (that is referring more to aftermarket ones, even tho the S3 ones are not all that much better (so far I only use about 3, 2 day ones, and one blacked out for sleeping)), but there are a lot to choose from. Just wish there was a preview of ones you need to by, They may look good, until you put them on the watch. I do love the standard bands, this way you can purchase extra without it being specialized. I do like the motivation to get up and get moving if you have been still for too long from S Health, sometimes I don't realize how much I sit still at work on the computer.
To start my review with, I LOVE THIS WATCH. I use to have the Samsung Gear S2. I enjoyed that one too. However I always felt the size of the watch was small and since I had the white band it was a bit feminine. I knew I could change bands but never did. What I love about the S3 is the size, the bands are pretty sweet, the watch faces are brighter and much more cooler (than the S2 brightness/faces), I can play YouTube, and etc. All around I say get the S3!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, more apps, you can use as a second phone number, very stylish
