The editors didn't like
Undeniably chunky
Unsuitable for swimmers
Limited app support
Lack of third-party apps still an issue
Not great for iPhone users
Sleep tracking is hit and miss
Apps can take too long to load
Limited upgrade
Some strange straps
It's big. Tizen-based software has less app support than Apple Watch or Android Wear. iOS connection works
But it's very buggy. Few killer apps take advantage of stand-alone LTE services
Design It looks classy and like a real watch, Display Completely round AMOLED with great colors and brightness, Samsung Pay Contactless payments with the Gear S3 are supereasy and work almost everywhere, Battery life About two days with alwayson display,
Design again It's a little on the large side, and is pretty explicitly a men's watch
I'm still not convinced that a smartwatch is something most people need. It's still a novelty for people who are very into technology and gadgetry. Even among smartwatch fans, the $350 Gear S3 will be a tough sell. However, you do get a very nice smartwat...

Abstract: The Gear S3 from Samsung is a highly-capable, and easy-to-use smartwatch. It works with all Android handsets, but is particularly well-suited to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones. If you're looking for a last-minute gift or simply want a great wrist-born compu...
Great design, Large display is the best for notifications, Rotating bezel is a joy to use, Performance is top notch, Samsung Pay works well, Plenty of features and tools make up core experience
Design may not suit many people, Third-party apps can be buggy, 4G LTE and calls come at an added monthly price
Samsung manages to make each feature in its stacked smartwatch work, making the Gear S3 one of the most enjoyable smart wearable experiences we've had this year...
Nice design and materials, Alwayson watch faces are great, Rotating bezel still wonderful, Standard watch strap design, Enables Samsung Pay for all
Too big for many wrists, Pile of features is daunting, Clunky interaction with some apps, LTE hurts battery, adds little value
With the Gear S3 Frontier and Classic, Samsung has chosen to keep with its "more is more" strategy of simply adding as many software features and hardware capabilities as possible to its wearables. The result is once again a smartwatch that will do just a...
Abstract: The Samsung Gear S3 is a monster of a smartwatch that might just do everything you need — if you can fit it under your shirtsleeve. It provides notifications for email, Twitter, Facebook and most other apps; it monitors your health, sleep and steps; it ev...

Lacklustre third-party development, Expensive
