The editors didn't like
Large and bulky
Too big for many wrists
Pile of features is daunting
Clunky interaction with some apps
LTE hurts battery
Adds little value
Design again It's a little on the large side
And is pretty explicitly a men's watch
Bulky
Expensive
Samsung Pay requires you to lock the watch with a PIN
Doesn't sync with popular fitness apps
Lacklustre third-party development
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
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...

Still the number one (non-Apple) smartwatch that also works on iPhone
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...
Well-constructed; attractive design; clever spinning bezel interface. GPS, speakerphone, optional stand-alone LTE phone service and work-anywhere Samsung Pay. Spotify app streams music on the go. Works with most Android phones, and even iPhones to a degre

Samsung's watch survives, for now, as one of the better options for Android phone users...
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...

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...
