Screen doesn't always flick on when you move your wrist
Watch often stops Bluetooth headphones from intercepting the phone call

Still a fairly new thing, the smartwatch is in that rather critical part of its life as a category as customers try to work out whether it is merely a gimmick or something actually usable.A second screen experience for your wrist, the smartwatch rarely ad...

Gear app could be better, will seem expensive to some
The Gear S3 is easily Samsung's best smartwatch and one of the best on the market. It features the design and style of a real watch and combines that with all the smarts you'll ever need.User Rating 2.65 ( 2 votes)Related PostsLG G Watch R smartwatch rev...
