Samsung Gear S3

This watch is probably just over 2 years old and in the past month it has decided to go off track and flash all different crazy colours and text. You need to reboot the watch to get it back to normality and this can occur 2-3 times per day. Watch was around $350+ when new. Took it to the Samsung shop in Sydney CBD only to be told that it can be sent off for repair but as I didn't have a receipt anyhow out of warranty the cost to send is $60 plus the service etc, which could equate to the purchase price of a new watch. No wonder the warranty isn't 2 years as Samsung couldn't take the risk. So I now have a dud watch and I couldn't believe I was asked if I'd like to look at a new one.

Very fragile. Mentioned as water resistant and can monitor almost all of your sport activities. But it's all lie. Got wet inside with my own sweat while wearing it during exercise. The watch monitor just went flickering after a week or so. Never got wet with water and never got dropped as well. Image captured by samsung service centre.

I purchased a Samsung gear s3 frontier watch brand new approx 2 years ago.
The watch has its moments where it lags to work but overall it has been good.
However the 2 small loops to pass the watch band under when you put it on have started to tear.
I contacted Samsung customer care today only to be cut off twice and their resolution was to take the watch into Samsung retailer for assessment of the product.
When I explained to the lady that it was only the 2 straps that were the problem I was told to back up the watch because it would need to be...

This watch is fantastic when it operates as intended. Once it stops working it's a cascade of errors.
The sensors stopped working, so no heart rate monitor, atmospheric pressure, or altimeter. The cost of repair is the same as the purchase price, so now looking for another brand that will last longer than 2 years.

We purchased this watch for $595 on 31/7/18 as a gift for our son who is a volunteer fire fighter in the NT. He also travelled to NSW and Qld to help relieve the exhausted local firies there in the recent horror season they had. The compass can be a life saver when he is surrounded by heavy smoke. However, we had to send it back for warranty 3 times. The first time was for low battery life and connectivity issues. The second time was for the same issues - which resulted in complete replacement of internal the mechanism, including motherboa...

Really great watch, the rotating bezel makes it easy to navigate and use. I purchased the LTE version to make calls. No issues with sound and great clarity. Also works great for fitness and tracking steps. Only con I would say is that it is slightly heavy for a watch but apart from that a great purchase.

i have been using this watch for almost 3 years now. since i had it, i never use any of my watch anymore. it is just so useful when i am busy and didnt know i have meetings and my phone was on silent, i can feel on my wrist that my watch is vibrating and because of that, i won't miss any meetings.

Great watch, Have had it for 2 years and no real issues
comfortable rubber band on it
light weight so barely able to notice it
love that you can do everything from take calls to receive messages and reply
The voice recognition system on it is great, not as good as a phone.
can get LOTS of features with it and face watches for both free and app purchases

The first and second repairs were due to the short battery life, they couldn't do it right the first time so it had to be done again, the 3rd time was due to the system crashing. The 4th time I put the watch for repair, because the system crashed again, however the repair centre informed me/accused that I had created a hole the size of a pinhole through the back of my watch, which lead to water damage (did not tell me how ). I also went to the department of fair trade, to no avail. All this happened within the warranty period.
Poor and inconsistent service much like the watch. Not happy to recommend a samsung service or their product again.

Brilliant, but it still relies on your mobile to be on. This is meant to be a stand alone device. I can only assume that didnt' work for Telstra and Optus, so they tether them to something they can actually charge money for... a $1400 phone. Not good enough.

The bezel and buttons feel very sturdy, and offer a nice, easy way to navigate the menus. Battery life is good, lasting about 3-4 days before charging (takes about 2 hours to fully charge)

Sleep tracking is the main reason I purchased, and so far it has done that flawlessly. It syncs to samsung health on my galaxy phone and gives me every bit of sleep tracked with good accuracy (based on when I know I've woken up during the night).

It does come a bit cluttered with some apps, and the app store for downloads isn't particularly large. Mostly fu...

The S3 is a great watch with all the usual features, but mine is now 12 months old and needs to be charged every night compared to every third when new.

Not the easiest set up but once done at the start, the watch is really good. Premium box and accessories also included. The watch is really nice looking but kind of big. Heaps of apps and downloadable programs which make it really good in the customization area. A bit on the heavier side but its still fine to wear. Easy to get around to the apps and all. Overall a great watch!

Good Smartwatch. Really easy to navigate and good software. Can customize really well. The Smartwatch is rather big but the watch has a really good performance. Heaps of apps also available from the app for games etc. Worth the money but not for kids as the face is quite large!

I was lucky enough to be gifted this watch when it was first released but now in having used it for the past couple of years, I would have been more than happy to purchase it. Wearing it everyday to my job as a Fitness trainer, it still looks brand new and I cannot live without it.
