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

Apple's timepiece is the only way to go if you want a smartwatch that really suits your style. The Samsung is tougher, but both have GPS and the ability to make wireless payments.Apple's new watch could lose out when it comes to battery life, but we'll ne...
It's early days and we only spent a brief time with the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, but we are impressed. The one barrier here is whether or not you like the larger watch face and undeniably masculine design – as long as you do, then we think this is set to...

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...
Classy design, Swift performance, High-quality display, Battery life
Size and weight, Lack of apps, Comfort during exercise
Samsung Gear S3 – S Health and Fitness Tracking The Gear S3 comes with the S Health app for the watch and the companion app for Android. This is responsible for keeping tabs on all of the usual activity-tracking metrics, such as steps and sleep, and all o...

Abstract: Smartwatches, pah, they'll never take off. Oooh, a round one with a rotating bezel, you say, let's have a look'. The Samsung Gear S3 has us excited about the smartwatch space again, and just in time. With the Apple Watch 2 also set to drop next week, wear...
Superb styling, Fantastic fitness features, Smart software that makes sense on your wrist
Lack of apps at launch, Not swim proof like an Apple Watch, Bit on the big side
The Gear S2 was a fantastic wearable OS trapped in a naff plastic case. The S3 Classic and S3 Frontier finally set it free, with two very different but very drool-worthy designs that you won't be ashamed to wear. Feeling active? The Frontier is reinforce...
The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier undoubtedly is Samsung's best performance smartwatch. The most of it goes to the great display and a unique rotating bezel. The Gear S3 manages to be decent at basically every role such as notification, call functionality, tra...
Overall, the Gear S3 is a step in the right direction. Most problems that smartwatch users had over the years, be it with the display, battery life or lack of features, have been addressed by Samsung. Essentially, the Gear S3 brings a premium and classy d...
Good battery life, Easy to control with the rotating bezel, Smooth OS
Companion app could be better, Dry app ecosystem, Bulky
Overall, the Gear S3 is a pretty impressive smartwatch, but it's mainly for Android users, and iOS compatibility should be seen as just a bonus. We hope that Samsung makes its next model slimmer. We also hope that more apps are added to the Tizen ecosyste...
