Samsung Gear S3 - Classic

The Samsung Gear S3 is the smart watch for people want a bit of style and masculinity instead of the blocky and overtly tablet shaped offerings from Apple, Fitbit etc. It does what it says and with more apps and faces being added to the store it's infinity customisable. Battery life is generally about 2 days with full use.

1st ever smart watch

A large watch that needs a big wrist. To get 4 days of battery lid you need to manage the watch closely. A reasonable range of apps. Over all so far so good

Amazing Watch

Bought it after upgrading from my Samsung Gear. It's rounded face gives it an amazing new feel while still being super useful in a 'smart' aspect. Only downside is that it doesn't support google play music.

Big and Beautiful

I love this big beautiful watch, large face, round face and the ability to send / receive calls, SMS's and emails. Love all the customised face displays, the heatlh app, ability to store photos on it and play music. Love the silver frame look with black band. I give this watch 10/10 for look, design and functionality. Would be fantastic on Cellular. The one thing I would improve with this watch is the speaker performance, other then that its perfect.

Carlos's review of Gear S3 Classic Dark Silver

Pros: - Great battery life (Android smartwatch usually last only one day).Cons: - No support for payment other than Samsung pay.

Gear S3 Classic

Bought mine on the 8th of March. Pro: All features are awesome. Easy to set up if you read the manual. The notification is awesome. I love everything about the phone. Cons: slightly on the heavy side and if you have a small wrist like me. It seems a little big. However, it isn't soo bad. You can change the band type.

Great watch, with a catch.

Watch looks and feels great. Runs well too. But...One of the major features (NFC) can only be used to make PayPass purchases if you have a Samsung phone. No indication anywhere including from the salesperson that sold it to me.The app is also really painful to use. App store is cumbersome, update notifications aren't reliable.Some apps and watch faces are quite expensive.SVoice is teerriibbllee! Can't hear you, can't understand me half the time (Australian), and performs limited functions. Maybe because I have a pixel 2.I'm disappointed with customer service too, called to rectify a problem only to have the assistant go "mmhrmm" till I gave up. Like banging my head against a wall.Maybe the Ticwatch would be a better option.Want to return this watch, ... MoreWatch looks and feels great. Runs well too.

Handy Piece of Tech

I've only owned this for about a week, but I'm very happy with my purchase. Great for keeping track of steps, as well as calories in vs. calories out. Has the ability to connect to your bluetooth headset and can be used with the spotify app, so you don't have to carry your phone around you at the gym (so long as you download you playlists to use offline!)The reason I can't give it 5 stars though, is battery life. Although it does say up to 4 days battery life, I can barely get it to last a full day without a charge, and that's just with using it for basic tasks. I can understand that it might drain the battery when using the spotify app, but it makes it hard when you set it up for the night to track sleep, only to have it die halfway through.

From what I've read online you can extend the battery life by turning off things like notifications, but then that kind of defeats the purpose of having it, doesn't it?

NOEL's review of Gear S3 Classic Dark Silver

Pros: The Samsung Gear S3 is an amazing and beautiful piece of technology. It is very stylish and impressive. I am able to use the Health and workout features on the smartwatch; plus listen to Music; receive and make Phone Calls; have my Contacts on hand (literally); check the Weather; receive and send Emails, as well as SMS Messages; use it to pay for things using Samsung Pay; view Photos; find my car; and loads of other great features. Plus of course the Gear S3 is a real watch which tells me the time !!! The Gear S3 works so well with my Samsung S8 smartphone.Cons: Probably the only thing I don't like is that the battery needs to be charged more frequently than advertised on the Samsung website. This might because I am new to the watch, and am using as many of ... MorePros: The Samsung Gear S3 is an amazing and beautiful piece of technology. It is very stylish and impressive.

Simple design. Ease of use

I purchased my gear3 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with it. I'm in and out of my vehicle a lot so not having to always take my phone makes it easy. The Bluetooth range is very good and the fitness tracker is causing me to better monitor my food intake and exercise. Can't wait to purchase the new model for my wife
