Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch

So far this watch has been great, love the design and features that it has. All and all a great watch.
The frontier s3 feels like a luxury watch and looks like one while being able to do so much more.
This is a great product. It has a lot of functionality for everyday life.
First one had a charging issue but easily exchanged. New one shows no problem so far and I love the design and performance.
Nice band for my watch, also purchased the screen protectors for it makes me feel safer to know that my watch is protected. Overall I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

What customers say about "Features"

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch

Excellent the sensors to detect the different activities like running, moving, or sleeping.
I really like the features on the Samsung watch. My Fitbit was nice but it seemed outdated. The auto exercise could activate a little sooner to match the treadmill numbers.
Enjoy wearing it daily and using all the many features.
The features available pass competitors not only with clarity of picture but also when using watch for phone calls and texts.
Nice features able to answer phone calls and texts and biometrics. Much better than the fitbit surge.

What customers say about "Power"

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch

Great that it can hold a charge for almost 3 days were others can only last 1 or 2 days.
Very good on battery usage. Once it is charged to 100% it status charged for at least 2 days!
The battery life is good, charges very fast too.
Husband loves it. The charge time is awesome and it runs smoothly.
After about three weeks the watch failed to charge. I touched it and it was hot to touch. I returned it and got a Garmin.
I like the watch, but it needs charged more then my Fitbit blaze did.
