Summary
With the Galaxy Watch 3

Looks like a proper watch, Fast to use, Circular rotating bezel feels as good as ever, Good assortment of health features, Decent two days battery life, Works on both iOS and Android, Watch bands use a standard pin system, meaning watch bands are easily t
Watch band design isn't quite as easy to change as other smart watch brands (so you can't change it quickly), Wish it had just a little more battery life, Pricey
Despite the watch strap issue, the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 is a solid continuation of the Galaxy Watch line, and a great smartwatch to boot.Samsung has focused on what makes a watch important and delivered here. The Galaxy Watch3 is a great watch that makes...

Bursting with features,Intuitive rotating bezel, Great performance,Reliable fitness tracking,
Doesn't come cheap, No Third-party app support, Battery not on par with competitors,
An amazing smartwatch made great thanks to a reliable and nippy interface boasting a host of health, fitness and lifestyle features. Design lacks the air of sophistication we were looking for at this price point, but if you've got the cash to spare you're...
There's a lot to love about the Galaxy Watch 3. It's superbly made, very attractive, and its spinning bezel makes it a joy to use. Samsung's Tizen OS is slick too, with lots of customisation and shortcut options to keep things feeling fresh - made all the...

few UK banks support Samsung Pay, Bixby is weak, cannot display animated images in smart camera notifications, limited functionality with an iPhone, cannot use ECG/blood pressure yet
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is the best smartwatch for Android by some margin, taking the crown from the already excellent Watch Active 2.It combines a slim, light and attractive traditional watch design with the excellent rotating bezel controller, a slic...

Smaller, lighter design, Packed with features, Good fitness tracker, Bezel control is still great to have
Health features not turned on, Battery life not fantastic, Some iffy heart rate data, Leather strap only included
The improved design, added software features and promise of serious health monitoring make it a little easier to deal with the underwhelming battery life. However, anyone buying the Galaxy Watch 3 will have to accept that ECG and blood pressure have not b...
None of these things are deal-breakers per se, especially if you're not interested in the more advanced fitness features, but when the Galaxy Watch 3 costs £120 more than its predecessor at launch, it's still rather tricky to make the case that you're get...
Expensive, Lack of third-party apps, Same processor as first-gen Watch
The Galaxy Watch 3 is among the best smartwatches available at the moment, topped only by the Apple Watch Series 5. Though it's more of a refinement than a redesign compared to the original, the thinner, lighter body and larger display of the Galaxy Watch...

Great, premium design, Rotating bezel is useful, Strong fitness features
Battery could be better, Tizen's apps are limited, High price
Samsung has stuck with a traditional-looking circular display shape, and a rotatable raised bezel that enables you to physically cycle through on-screen menus. It's tactile, and that click, click, click as you navigate the round interface feels satisfying...
The Galaxy Watch remains a stylish smartwatch that looks slightly better this time around thanks to a slimmer body and thinner frame. A 'hands on review' is our first impression of a product only - it is not a full test and verdict. Our writer must have...

Attractive design and fully round screen,Smaller and lighter than original,Rotating bezel is brilliant
Pricier than original,Tizen OS won't offer as many apps as Google/Apple competition
The Galaxy Watch 3 takes the original 2018 Samsung wearable and refines it, bringing a smaller and lighter smart device that looks much like a real watch in a well-designed package. The second-generation watch (there's no Watch 2, remember?) also brings n...
