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

Spinning bezel interface is excellent, Punchy screen, Versatile activity tracking, Swim-certified water resistance
Claimed battery life is ambitious, Fewer apps than Wear or Apple Watch
The Gear Sport seems to slot in nicely below the Gear S3 in Samsung's bulging wearable line-up. OK, it might not rock top-spec features like LTE for phone-free connectivity, and the battery is a little smaller, but it's got just about everything else - i...
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...
Animated always, on display, Great activity tracking, Intuitive interface
Very large on the wrist, GPS tracking suspect, Severe lack of apps
Bigger, bolder and more feature-rich than ever, this is a brilliant smartwatch in many ways. It just depends on whether you actually want a digital timepiece - and if you're prepared to pay handsomely for the privilege...
Great design and craftsmanship, built-in GPS, battery achieves nearly four days use, Tizen OS very intuitive and smooth
Lack of app support is telling, limited features for iOS users
Before now, Android users had something of a tough choice when it came to smartwatches. Either go with an attractive, intuitive, easy-to-use operating system and sacrifice design and build quality by buying a Pebble or older Samsung Gear, or get great bui...
Fantastic five-day battery life, Great fitness-tracking capabilities, Classy design with a neat interface
Undeniably chunky, Unsuitable for swimmers, Limited app support
It's brave of Samsung to keep ploughing its own furrow with Tizen. Compared with the Apple Watch, or rival smartwatches running Android Wear you do miss out on app support and integration with third-party services can be patchy.But the Gear S3 does a good...
Classic is ugly, Too chunky for some, Lacks apps, US get more features
The Samsung Gear S3 offers some clear improvements over the previous generation - most notably the amazing 3-4 day battery life. That really is class leading for an advanced smartwatch like this. The excellent rotating bezel and Tizen OS have been...
Simple interface with rotating bezel, Easily replaceable 22mm bands, More than a day of battery life, Water resistant, Works with Samsung Pay
Too big and bulky for smaller wrists, Not enough third-party app support, Android phone connection sometimes spotty
Yes. If you have $350, are in the market for a smartwatch, and own an Android phone — particularly a Samsung phone — the Gear S3 is the best choice. It has two great designs, swappable bands, GPS, an LTE model, 4GB of internal storage, and you can use Sam...

Gorgeous display, impressive battery life, Improving S Health, Bezel is still great
Slightly lacklustre design, App support still not great, S Voice is unreliable, Not fully waterproof
The Gear S3 is destined to divide. After delivering us its best-ever smartwatch with the Gear S2, it has sacrificed that sleek design to cram in more features. That bigger body has delivered better battery life, GPS and a screen where Tizen can really shi...

Abstract: THE WEARABLES WAR has heated up with the unveiling of the Apple Watch Series 2 and the Galaxy Gear S3 . We pit the two current kings of the smartwatch field against each other to see which comes out on top. Our battle was played out on paper, not a swimmi...
