Abstract: Smartwatches, pah, they'll never take off. Oooh, a round one with a rotating bezel, you say, let's have a look'. The Samsung Gear S3 has us excited about the smartwatch space again, and just in time. With the Apple Watch 2 also set to drop next week, wear...
Fantastic five-day battery life, Great fitness-tracking capabilities, Classy design with a neat interface

Superb styling, Fantastic fitness features, Smart software that makes sense on your wrist
Lack of apps at launch, Not swim proof like an Apple Watch, Bit on the big side

Easy to use, great display, best variety of trackable workouts,
Slow to charge, limited app compatibility

Where does this leave us? I have mixed feelings about the Samsung Gear S3 Classic. One on hand, it's a beautifully designed device with a bright display, intuitive controls, good battery life, and a mostly smooth user experience. But where it falls short...
So where does the smartwatch sit when it comes to the consumer? It's a bit of niche purchase at the moment, isn't it? A typical smartwatch can start at around $150, but you'll most likely be purchasing an older model with most higher-end models easily bre...
Abstract: If you lucked out and managed to get the special pre-order bonus, you also get for your money a jeweler's box with space for two more watches and two additional official straps.Depending on what model you got, you'll get slightly different straps. If...
