Its a really nice watch. I dont care for the fact it disconnects quite a bit

its a nice watch

I purchased this watch on Nov. 24th 2017. It worked great for about a year and a half, I think had battery issues. Watch stopped charging to 100%, tried all the tricks I read online, draining it all the way, allow a full recharge etc...nothing worked. Read that there was an issue with a recent patch that some of the devices were having the issue I was having, they patched again...still the battery wouldn't go above 70% charge. Finally I broke down and bought a kit to replace it myself. Worked great, 100% battery again without issue. Worked for another year and then just stopped, nothing. I even put the old battery back in thinking the new one had died. Nope, just a brick now. While it was working it was awesome, loved it, hated that I had the battery issues.

Great watch while it worked.

I bought this about years and 3 months ago and bottom button of the watch stopped working and i called them up and they said its out of warranty. Sure it is but there is a huge forum regarding this malfunction almost 400 review showing same trouble that i have and they expect customers to buy this $300 watch and they cant admit that there is a malfunction on this watch. It's a shame.

Do your self a favor and don't buy this watch.

works great, simple clean fast layout. Easy navigation

Simple and Clean

Bought the Gear s3 year ago.  Battery life is average, and most apps work great.  Recently bought a Galaxy S10 and paired it to the S3.  Samsung Pay does not work on the Gear S3 when paired to the S10.  Very inconvenient.

Samsung pay not supported when paired with S10

I've had this for half a year maybe and I can't complain. I don't use a lot of the features; I'm like bone thin so I would need to wear it very tightly to really benefit from the health tracking but I rather loosen it and be comfortable and just be a cool watch. I bought it a month before the new Galaxy watches so that upset me that I bought the newest without any of the discounts you see on it now, just for it to not be the newest in a snap. It was my bad for buying it so late, it was my first smartwatch, but they did update it recently to run the newest Tizen OS so they actually made me quite happy considering I don't feel the need to upgrade. Very useful and can change how you do things everyday. One of the best features is the alarm clock that syncs with my phone; I always wake up to phone alarms now!

Can't go without it now

Great features  updates Awsome all the way around.

Great featurez

Glad I made this purchase. I use it everyday as an extension of my phone

Useful

Received my Gear 3 Classic for CHRISTMAS and really love it! I enjoy all the features. Main reason I want one was for the heart monitor. Also nice when a text comes in and you're to busy to reach into your pocket and all you have to do is look at your watch! Plus I like keeping up with my steps as I exercise for weight loss. I did purchase a different band for it.

Awesome Watch!

I've had my classic for eight months now. Went through all the questions that I see most ask. 
But, after it's set up like you want, Samsung fit, custom apps and unlimited watch faces it will turn out to be your best companion. 
I'm always finding something new once I think it's the final form.

It's a great timepiece along being a full computer that can manage everything you want it to or let it.
If mine would get lost, stolen or fail me I would have another within 24 hours. After doing a "find my watch" procedure on my linked phone of course.

Great device with unending toys, oops apps!

Great companion, best friend.

Gear S3 battery started draining badly and charging slowly after recent update. It also started rebooting itself and factory resetting. The Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) phone app could not see that the phone and watch were already paired and no "SKIP" failover option is provided and it just hangs. When you exit out from the app/screen, the watch starts the reset process all over. The only use now is the time. All customization I've done in the last 8 months since I bough the watch is gone. No more health, no more watch faces and the Samsung account app on the phone doesn't remember that I purchased or downloaded the watch faces the way Google Play Store remembers.

Great beginning, then slow death

There are some good apps, works as I expected. after several months the back button stopped working.

Love it!

I bought this watch 1 year ago and have had multiple issues.  I was given a second watch because of issues and now the second one is doing the same thing.  The warranty is expired so I am stuck with a inferior product.  The watch battery won't stay charged and the watch face fades in and out.

Multiple Issues

I've had the Gear S3 for almost a year!  What a great watch.  The battery life is excellent. The customization is what I like the best where I can get health, weather, emails, text, and other notifications of my choosing.  The watch is durable and looks great!

Couldn't Be Happier

watch stopped working one month after warranty ran out

watch stop working

I've had the Frontier for nearly a month now and I love it. Initially, I ran my battery down with open apps and the different watch faces. I read on how to preserve battery life and it has worked. But I have gotten at least 4 days of use without recharging. I could have gotten 5 days easily, but I read that its not good to let it drain pass 40%. I had a problem with it slipping when my wrist sweats a little during workouts. I now put a rubber band on my arm to keep it in place. Overall, it has a powerful speaker and great feature. If it would sync with Nike+ run club, it would be amazing.

I love it!

I have Gear S3 classic sing February 2017 and it used to be a good watch until the last few months (August-September 2018). I think that after the last software upgrade (Tizen 3.0) my battery started draining from 100% to 2% in a few minutes. I factory reset the watch a few times without any improvement. I contacted Samsung  tech support and the only explanation that I've got is the watch is out of warranty and most likely i's a hardware issue. Do they read Samsung blogs at all, where a lot of customers are complaining about the same problem. In addition I don't see any response from Samsung company about the issue and plans to fix it. The only reason I bought this watch is because I owe Samsung phone and enjoyed Samsung pay until it stopped working. Before you start producing new smartwatches like Samsung Galaxy, address the issue with your gear s3 watches. I cannot even complete the phone settings after factory reset. The phones battery dies in the middle of the setting process. Samsung, do not ignore your customers and fix the problem, if you value our business!!! There are other smartwatch options on the market.

Gear S3 classic battery drain

I had the gear s2 and upgraded to the gear s3 which works well especially with the newest software updates

Great watch overall-

I purchased the watch yesterday and I'm seriously contemplating returning it because it looks masculine.

Made for Men :/

I like the watch I looks nice, but not enough apps. YOU NEED MORE APPS!!

Its ok

Had the Galaxy S3 classic for about two weeks. Used the telephone, the music player, etc. with ease. All worked as told. My biggest surprise is when I used it to pay a bill on a swipe-only device and it did it. No other pay system can do that. My one and only complaint is the wristband design. It is awful. Maybe some people find it easy to replace bands, but I don't. However, except for this one annoyance, the watch is terrific.

Almost a great smartwatch

I purchased this to replace my Gear 2 (Not S2 that I had for years and was still working great! I knew the S3 had some features I wanted. I really didn't expect it to be so different. Battery last several days with normal use, less if you try to play games or use it a lot.

Has more than I expected!

I love this watch! It's easy to use and customized to how I want to use my watch. Great product!

Easy to use and great apps!

Unfortunately, most local companies did not have this watch or the sport on display. I ordered this with out trying it on and it was too big for my wrist (mind you I do not have small wrists). I am in the process of trying to return it and get the sport which is smaller.

Great product

This is exactly what I needed to enhance my smartphone experience. The health features are wonderful as well.

Love this Watch

Battery won't hold good. mainly the step counter and calorie counter is not accurate. sometimes the step counter will not move forward. also too big.

Gear3

I like my watch but it could sure use some documentation. I can connect to wi fi but it does nothing

Nice watch

Did lots of research and this is consistently rated at the top of available smart watches. Best features are large display, battery life, rotating bezel, full range of health/tracking, appearance, and smooth operating system. Others may do better in 1 or 2 categories, but overall this is top-flight to pair with android phones. Would LOVE to have improvements in S-voice, and I sincerely hope Samsung has something in the works to make this an almost perfect smartwatch. Older reviews mention problems with functions that have been corrected with updated available apps (text messages, email notifications. This is my 3rd smart watch (first 2 from another manufacturer) and by far the best experience yet.

One of the best available...

I really enjoy using my watch. The only problem I have is with the Samsung pay button that won’t connect.

Great features.

Its really frustrating that this watch is so masculine. I'm not trying to walk around with a giant silver piece of metal and black band on my wrist. Making something in tan, white or just any neutral colors would be nic. I want to get an iPhone for the simple fact that at least iwatches are unisex. I'm very loyal to Samsung, 7 years have I had a Samsung phone, mostly galaxy but these watches are just a no
