The Gear S3 is an overall strong performing model with an impeccable set of fitness tracking attributes, making its Editors' Choice award very much well deserved. However, we would only recommend this to Samsung phone users, even though it is compatible w...

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: Samsung's never shied away from going big. Big phones, big TVs, big watches. In fact, that was one of the defining characteristics for the first few generations of the Gear line, the first few of which were really more wrist-worn tablet than smartwatch.Th...
