Samsung Galaxy Watch3
Verified10 reviews
So disappointed. My watch works perfectly fine and I've only had it for 3 years. I don't know why I was sold a samsung watch3 when the software was going to go out of date soon. And now, samsung no longer has any nice female watches. They are all unisex and look so plain. I want a watch that can look nice if I dress up, I don't want to… Read more
sports watch looking thing. So now I'm stuck with a "smart" watch that isn't so smart and if I do move away to another watch it can't be a samsung with the designs they currently have available.
Something else I've noticed is that most of the watches are so big. There isn't many for smaller wrists. Many of the bands also are made out of material that is not suitable to many sensitive skin types.
Can't measure heart rate properly – I set the watch to measure HR every 10 minutes and it does not do it. Every now and then I check and it shows a measurement done way longer than 10mins ago, sometimes hours ago. It says "measure every 10mins while standing still". How am I suppose to remember every 10mins to stop and stay still so Mr Watch coukd do its job? Show details
Nice looking Watch – This watch is really sleek and looks nice while wearing it. Not as chunk as the previous watch. Only downfall is it will not be updated to Android Wear like the Galaxy Watch 4 but apart from that it is a nice solid sleek watch and even though battery is smaller it still lasts a long time Show details
Great watch – The watch is stylish and easy to use, the moveable bezel makes scrolling throw the functions a breeze. The watch is easy to set up and sync to your phone Show details
Battery life not that great – I had done a lot of research before deciding to buy this watch. It does as advertised, it acts like your phone and I'm able to track my sleep which is great as that's the main reason I bought this watch. But the battery life can be better. If I'm not using the watch features often, I only get 1 days worth of being able to use to watch. I don't mind charging the watch everyday but prefer a longer battery life after a full charge Show details
Battery totally inadequate – Purchased this expensive watch 3 months ago following a heart attack because of its advertised ability to not only eliminate the carrying of a large mobile phone but also because it measures heart rate, oxygen level, among other important bodily functions. Whilst its features work reasonably well, the great disappointment is the extremely low… Read more
battery life. With little use, the battery generally expires at around 2-3pm each day. I don't believe this is quite as advertised or is fit for purpose with a reasonable expectation being that the battery should last at least a working day (8 hours) which it does not.
Do not waste your money! – I purchased the Samsung galaxy watch at the end of October 2020 and by December I noticed a tiny crack in the back of the watch and it then got water damaged. I had only had the watch for 2 months and did not drop or damage it. However, when I took it to the Samsung warranty repairer they claimed I had damaged it and it I needed to buy a new one!!!! Terrible customer service for an expensive item that breaks easily. Absolute waste of $450. Show details
Has all the bells and whistles but can't even last a day – Ok so it looks great. It feels great, it's well built and has every feature you need. The LTE version has eSIM technology, allowing you to receive and make calls independently of your phone. This is the case for messages too. You can also make payments with it as well. Despite all of this, you would think that Samsung would have made the watch… Read more
a little larger to accommodate a larger battery. The battery life on this watch, is pathetic. It is claimed to last 2 days. NOPE! NOT EVEN CLOSE! I am lucky to get a full day from a full charge and that is with everything turned off like WiFi, GPS, NFC and only leaving Bluetooth on to sync to my phone. This is utterly disappointing as this watch has a sleep tracker that I am very interested in using, however it is impossible to use if you have removed the watch from a morning charge as it will not even make it through the day and still have enough charge to last all night tracking your sleep. I have found that it uses a whopping 34 to 40% battery whilst sleeping. To top that off, if you charge it in the evening to use the sleep tracker, then good luck getting through half of the next day as mentioned above, the battery will be down to around 60 to 64% charge. What's the point? Charge before bed then charge again before work? It takes 2 hours to charge! The next, and biggest flaw with this watch is that if you have purchased the LTE version, and intend to use the eSIM functionality then let me warn you, you MUST have a Samsung phone to do it. You cannot use any other Android phone to activate the eSIM plan as a part of your telco plan. On top of that, you can only get an eSIM plan from the 3 major telcos. Telstra, Vodafone or Optus. Virtual providers do not have eSIM access (yet) e.g. Circles Life, Amaysim, TPG, Aldi, etc. So be prepared, if you want this watch and the LTE version, you'll need a Samsung phone and be on a non virtual telco.
I do NOT recommend this watch at all. Go for a Garmin or Fossil and stay away from the crapple watch too.
Total waste of money – absolute waste of money only a idiot would buy this product. Time to tell these companies we don't need their crap and they can die and we won't buy this crop. Show details
Samsung Galaxy 3 watch – Needs a major software upgrade. App Store has hardly anything in it and results from searches in the store produce absolute rubbish. Swapped from Apple Watch - big mistake. Samsung need to fix their flagship watch quickly. Samsung need to make some of the premium apps free like Smart Caddie (which is the only golf app anyway) and do a major upgrade quickly otherwise this watch has very limited functions and not in the class of Apple Show details
