  • Doesn't sync with popular fitness apps

  • Now, we won't pretend that just because it's 2016, smartwatches suddenly make all the sense in the world and have some universal added value to offer to our mobile experience. The fact is, they are still very much a niche product. Most people aren't reall...

  • Good Looking, Great Value, Super AMOLED display, Rotating Bezel, Premium Build, Decent Battery Life
  • Tizen OS, Finicky with other Brands, Proprietary App, Samsung Health does not sync with Google Fit
  • The Samsung Gear S3 is the Korean giant's successor to the highly successful Gear S2. The Gear S3 is the culmination of Samsung's experiences with their first Gear S and Gear S2. The Gear S2 was considered to be one of the best smartwatches out there that...

  • The Samsung Gear S3 is a fantastic smartwatch, that much is certain. Its fairly competitive RM1,399 price tag – for both the Frontier and Classic editions – makes it one of the more affordable ones too. However, as was the case with the Gear S2, third-par...

  • 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 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...
