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

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: 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 question is, should you care? In some respects, I'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...
Samsung's Gear Sport does seem like a limited upgrade, but new features including support for Spotify offline and swim tracking means this could be a great new watch for very particular sport lovers...

Nice design, Good sports tracking features, Intuitive user interface and charger design, Rotating bezel is a major plus, Waterproof to 50m
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
That's the Samsung Gear Sport in a nutshell. It's one good-looking smartwatch that makes all the right design choices to please those who want to focus on sport, but do so in style (well, depending on which of the 23 initial strap choices you select).If t...
I like the Gear Sport a lot, especially since it takes all those useful features from the Gear S3 and puts them into a smaller and more manageable body. The addition of dedicated swimming features gives it broader appeal – and, hopefully, the implementati...
Abstract: Fitness sells smartwatches. So say most players in wearables, Samsung included. The new Samsung Gear Sport pushes further into fitness, adding some features that were overdue. It's not the same set of upgrades that last year's Gear S3 smartwatch received...
