Review on πŸ’ͺ SAMSUNG Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch (Bluetooth) - Powerful and Stylish Wearable Technology by Dave Phobia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great watch for the 21st century

I've had the Gear S3 Frontier aka the Dick Tracy watch for 2 weeks now and I have to say it's a delight. I've made and received calls for hours just to gain experience; It's not an idea why you should do anything, but it works great in a pinch. I run the following apps on my watch: Phone, Contacts, Samsung Health, Weather, Samsung Pay, Music Player, Reminders, Alti-Barometer, Planner, Alarm Clock, World Clock, Gallery and of course Find My Phone. I also set up two different calendars to send notifications to the watch. The phone works great but I don't want to keep talking on my wrist and you can move the call you answered on the watch to your phone. what i did once, it was easy. Contact, there is not much to say. Samsung Health is good, it tells you when you've climbed stairs if the stairs are over 10 feet. It counts your steps, today I have 4200 and my goal is 6500 and the goal is easy to change. The heart rate monitor is fine, you just have to wear the watch a little tighter than you're probably used to. I found that my heart rate matches my heart rate monitor/oximeter. Weather is as accurate as Accuweather. Working just like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay is easy to use and hassle-free reporting. The music player works best when your watch is paired with a Bluetooth headset. I haven't missed a meeting since the planner slipped onto my wrist. Alarm clock, well that's an alarm clock and if it wakes you up. World time is useful as I change time zones when I travel and now I don't wake my wife when she's sleeping. The gallery is the only one I find pretty silly, the face is small to actually see the image. My biggest concern was battery life; With all these apps they create and the watch face always on, I can use the watch's battery for 4 days. I don't know what would happen if the watch face was always on, but I'll try it soon. I don't like a cluttered watch face, my current one has the time, date and battery percentage. I have 9 more watch faces saved on my watch so I'm ready. There are many free watchfaces. I'm glad I chose the Samsung Gear S3. Btw my first wake up call was to my youngest son who has the same watch, I didn't know about it until he told me he was taking my call through his S3 watch. I believe you will be satisfied with this watch.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Unfashionable
