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

Looks like a watch, stylish, excellent bezel interface and operating system, water resistant, lots of apps available for it
Gear app could be better, will seem expensive to some
The Gear S3 is easily Samsung's best smartwatch and one of the best on the market. It features the design and style of a real watch and combines that with all the smarts you'll ever need.User Rating 2.65 ( 2 votes)Related PostsLG G Watch R smartwatch rev...
The Gear S2 was a fantastic wearable OS trapped in a naff plastic case. The S3 Classic finally sets it free, with a drool-worthy design that you won't be ashamed to wear.The Classic opts for premium materials like metal and leather, easily making it one o...

There is little doubt Samsung has taken the “everything, and the kitchen sink too” approach when designing the Gear S3. There's everything that most people would want, and if you want more, there's Samsung's App store as well. Yes, there is a swathe of cr...

I think the Gear S3 crosses over the boundaries between a fitness band and a smartwatch adding considerable value to each category. It is fashionable yet highly functional.I find it a tad large — 46mm diameter — but it fits well on a male wrist. Comments...

Abstract: Samsung's Gear S3 was launched a couple of months ago now, at IFA in Berlin back in September, but it's only just reached availability in Australia now. Likely, Samsung wanted to keep from announcing new products while still dealing with the Note 7 issues...

Abstract: CyberShack TV: A look at the new Samsung Gear S3 Smart Watch.....
Abstract: Samsung's Gear S3 is a small evolution from the Gear S2 announced exactly one year ago. The software is very similar, and the processing hardware hidden away inside the watch's casing is nearly identical as well. But small evolutions can still be signific...
The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier undoubtedly is Samsung's best performance smartwatch. The most of it goes to the great display and a unique rotating bezel. The Gear S3 manages to be decent at basically every role such as notification, call functionality, tra...
Overall, the Gear S3 is a step in the right direction. Most problems that smartwatch users had over the years, be it with the display, battery life or lack of features, have been addressed by Samsung. Essentially, the Gear S3 brings a premium and classy d...
Good battery life, Easy to control with the rotating bezel, Smooth OS
Companion app could be better, Dry app ecosystem, Bulky
Overall, the Gear S3 is a pretty impressive smartwatch, but it's mainly for Android users, and iOS compatibility should be seen as just a bonus. We hope that Samsung makes its next model slimmer. We also hope that more apps are added to the Tizen ecosyste...
