Comfortable to wear
Feels like a watch
Great battery life for a device with a full colour screen and interactivity

Stylish
Excellent bezel interface and operating system
Water resistant
Lots of apps available for it
The editors didn't like
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
Screen doesn't stay on
Screen doesn't always flick on when you move your wrist
Watch often stops Bluetooth headphones from intercepting the phone call

Abstract: The Gear S3 from Samsung is a highly-capable, and easy-to-use smartwatch. It works with all Android handsets, but is particularly well-suited to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones. If you're looking for a last-minute gift or simply want a great wrist-born compu...
Great design, Large display is the best for notifications, Rotating bezel is a joy to use, Performance is top notch, Samsung Pay works well, Plenty of features and tools make up core experience
Design may not suit many people, Third-party apps can be buggy, 4G LTE and calls come at an added monthly price
Samsung manages to make each feature in its stacked smartwatch work, making the Gear S3 one of the most enjoyable smart wearable experiences we've had this year...
Nice design and materials, Alwayson watch faces are great, Rotating bezel still wonderful, Standard watch strap design, Enables Samsung Pay for all
Too big for many wrists, Pile of features is daunting, Clunky interaction with some apps, LTE hurts battery, adds little value
With the Gear S3 Frontier and Classic, Samsung has chosen to keep with its "more is more" strategy of simply adding as many software features and hardware capabilities as possible to its wearables. The result is once again a smartwatch that will do just a...
Abstract: The Samsung Gear S3 is a monster of a smartwatch that might just do everything you need — if you can fit it under your shirtsleeve. It provides notifications for email, Twitter, Facebook and most other apps; it monitors your health, sleep and steps; it ev...

Great hardware and user experience, Stunning display, Attractive design(s), Intuitive interface
Lacklustre third-party development, Expensive
Samsung has once again built a fantastic smartwatch with top-tier hardware, buttery smooth software and some powerful features. It undercuts Apple's Series 2 smartwatches whilst retaining all-important components like GPS, wrapped up in what is arguably a...
Abstract: Samsung has finally unveiled its smartwatch, the Samsung Gear S3 , today in South Korea. It launches in the UK next week.There will be two models; the ‘Gear S3 Frontier,' which features a rugged design, and the ‘Gear S3 Classic,' which has a more refined...
Battery can last several days per charge, Resists water, dust, and shock, Bright and goodlooking display, Standard 22mm wrist band can be easily exchanged, Simple, easy to use interface with convenient rotating bezel, Samsung Pay support
Activity tracking capabilities could be improved, Limited selection of thirdparty apps, Limited compatibility with nonSamsung phones, still no iPhone support, Samsung Gear companion app can be buggy
Last year's Gear S2 was already a great smartwatch. While a little rough around the edges, it set the bar high for what was expected out of a wearable – great performance, ease of use, long battery life, to name a few examples. Because of this, the Gear S...

Abstract: When a company has spent the last three years aggressively churning out smartwatches on a yearly or twice-yearly basis, trying to kickstart the "Next Big Thing," what does it do when demand sputters? If you're Samsung, the answer is apparently: not much...

It is safe to say that Samsung has managed to make an interesting and worthwhile product. Personal Samsung Gear S3, of course, design. Now the smart watches look almost the same as the classic watches that will appeal to many buyers, because the novelty w...
