Crossing new Frontiers

As a long time wearer of a very thin high end watch, I have been watching the wearable's market for several years. Until now I had not found anything that satisfied all my criteria to make the jump to a smartwatch. The S3 Frontier appeared to be what I was looking for, but the question was "Is it?"
So far after 2 weeks it is hitting all the marks. Great packaging, great look, easy start up. The transition of moving to a larger face and thicker body on the watch is coming along nicely. That is greatly outweighed by the numerous benefits that the Frontier S3 offers. One of my favorites is Samsung Pay. I have been using Samsung Pay since shortly after introduction and the ability to use it on my S3 is awesome. It totally blows away anyone who sees it work. I also like the activity reminders, the ability to get message and email.
I recently was able to skirt some of the rainy winter weather and get out on a bike ride. The cycling app on SHealth provided more information than I thought it might. I would still like to see Ride with GPS or Strava do an S3 app, but until then, this hit the mark nicely. I also like the activity trackers, great to have some reminders to ensure I an staying active.
So far I have to say that the S3 Frontier "Is it!" I look forward to adding some additional apps, and to further customization as I get deeper into the features and capabilities of the S3 Frontier. I believe that Samsung has crossed the frontier of wearable technology with this smartwatch.

Does the job!

Bought the Classic first and didn't like the look on me and gave it to my wife and she loves it as it replaces her fit bit.
So I choose the Frontier and works great with my Note5.
Now if I can only get motivated and use these great apps.

I don't even know where to honestly start. This watch is the best smartwatch out there! If you want a smart watch that looks like a real watch look no further! I've had my watch for about 5+ weeks now and I treat it like a Rolex! Everytime someone askes me what what I have they get amazed that it's a samsung watch. I already convinced 2 of my cousins to buy one, they actually convinced themselves. Everything about it is awesome! The buttons are smooth and I've never experienced any lag, the color is very nice. I love the combination of gunmetal black with brushed steel. The only thing I'm scared of is scratching it, the front face has a weird coating that scratches easily if you're not careful with it, but when you wipe it the scratches go away it's weird and I love it!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers

Excellent Fitness and Sports watch

I have owned gear fit, gear fit2, Gear S2, and now Frontier Gear S3. The Frontier is the best of all worlds. I am a runner and regularly use the built in GPS to track my workouts. I have had great results and the accuracy is better than my phone's GPS. I also use my device to keep up with my calendar and stay on top of texts and emails at work. It is easy to check during meetings with out being distracting. Love this device.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Built-in speakers

Welcome to the Gear S3
on February 18, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Welcome to the Gear S3! This watch is chock full of features! My favorite has to be that one can answer a phone call on it, and talk to someone on it. Very Dick Tracy! I used to have the Gear 2 and the Gear S2. The S3 is a great combination of both! There are a load of new watch faces to choose from. It has a vibrate feature to let the wearer know when calls and notifications are coming in. It is a lot stronger than the Gear S2. There are only two negative things that I can say about it: 1) there are some watch faces that the S2 has that the S3 doesn't. There was a watch face that had a shortcut on the top of it, and it was very handy. 2) the watch band that comes with it is not very comfortable. It doesn't seem to be too flexible. I placed the band from my old Gear 2 on it, and it feels great! So, yes, I would recommend this to a friend, and it is a great improvement over the S2!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Inexpensive, Built-in speakers, long battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!
