  • Battery can last several days per charge, Resists water, dust, and shock, Bright and goodlooking display, Standard 22mm wrist band can be easily exchanged, Simple, easy to use interface with convenient rotating bezel, Samsung Pay support
  • Activity tracking capabilities could be improved, Limited selection of thirdparty apps, Limited compatibility with nonSamsung phones, still no iPhone support, Samsung Gear companion app can be buggy
  • Last year's Gear S2 was already a great smartwatch. While a little rough around the edges, it set the bar high for what was expected out of a wearable – great performance, ease of use, long battery life, to name a few examples. Because of this, the Gear S...

  • Abstract:  When a company has spent the last three years aggressively churning out smartwatches on a yearly or twice-yearly basis, trying to kickstart the "Next Big Thing," what does it do when demand sputters? If you're Samsung, the answer is apparently: not much...

  • It is safe to say that Samsung has managed to make an interesting and worthwhile product. Personal Samsung Gear S3, of course, design. Now the smart watches look almost the same as the classic watches that will appeal to many buyers, because the novelty w...

  • Abstract:  Special intrigue Samsung in a presentation at the IFA was not. That watch Gear S3, it was clear both in the invitation and the various leaks. But will look like this watch, no one knows, even a few hours of “leak” design showed more imaginary than real.Fr...

  • The Samsung Gear S3 seems like an excellent smartwatch that pushes the boundaries of industrial design and usability. The presence of a wheel and two buttons make the user experience fast, efficient, and pragmatic. We already considered the Gear S2 as one...

  • Comfortable to wear, Feels like a watch, Great battery life for a device with a full colour screen and interactivity, Supports both major mobile platforms: Android and iOS, Control ring makes the watch just that much more intuitive and usable
  • Screen doesn't stay on, Screen doesn't always flick on when you move your wrist, Watch often stops Bluetooth headphones from intercepting the phone call, Needs more apps
  • Still a fairly new thing, the smartwatch is in that rather critical part of its life as a category as customers try to work out whether it is merely a gimmick or something actually usable.A second screen experience for your wrist, the smartwatch rarely ad...

  • The question is, should you care? In some respects, we'd argue you shouldn't. The watch's core apps and general all-round capabilities are so good that it's worth the asking price anyway, without the addition of third-party apps.The fitness side of things...
