Smartwatches are experiments. For a taste of the future, you've got to live with compromise on your wrist. But for a lot of people, connected watches are best kept simple. Battery life wins out over tons of features, and ease of use over feature bloat. After all, that's what phones are for. Watches are where we check things quickly.

Samsung's watch survives, for now, as one of the better options for Android phone users.

Well-constructed; attractive design; clever spinning bezel interface. GPS, speakerphone, optional stand-alone LTE phone service and work-anywhere Samsung Pay. Spotify app streams music on the go. Works with most Android phones, and even iPhones to a degree.

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.

The Gear S3 Frontier is a great-looking smartwatch that truly lets you leave your phone at home.

Rotating bezel looks good and works great; Built-in LTE makes it phone independent; Samsung Pay works at MST terminals

Size will be too big for some wrists; App support lacking; Battery life could be an issue for some users

With the Gear S3 Frontier, Samsung did a commendable job building a wearable with a little something for everyone. The device still falls short in a lot of ways, including its overzealous automatic fitness tracking and a limited app selection, even after a year.

Still has the best smartwatch interface; Excellent performance; Respectable battery life; OLED display is bright and crisp

Not many good Tizen apps; Automatic exercise tracking can be weird; Will be too big for some

I'm sure there are many features that still need to happen. I'm sure there are developments yet to be made. But aside from obvious pie in the sky pure sci-fi lunacy like motion capture for VR or augmented reality applications, I can't think of anything that's even remotely attainable.

Bright display; Durable; simple usability; "interface feel" extremely satisfying; the freaking watch dial rotates how cool is that

not enough apps; so much utility potential as yet untapped..

Excellent design with the outer ring of the watch face allowing you to navigate through the various watch options and widgets; Clear bright display with a decent battery life although I would still recommend charging as often as possible as using all wireless functions (GPS, Bluetooth etc) would...

A little easy to scratch so care is needed when wearing

Not sure why there are no reviews here yet, there are plenty around. I have had this watch for a month and it is phenomenal (coming from Android Wear 1.5). The watch itself is stunning (physical design, materials, workmanship, OEM and 3rd party bands).

I bought my first SEIKO TV-AM-FM Radio wrist watch decades ago for So MUCH More - but NO comparison - all though I have always been very impressed with it - Until now!

I spent a lot of time one evening, reviewing this and the newer version, and decided eventually on this, the Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier And it was the right call, I sit here typing this review, checking the time on my watch, which after 8 hours of use has only fallen down to 92% battery, not...

I bought this strap a few weeks ago and I'm very pleased with it . It fits my Gear S3 Frontier perfectly ! The vibrant red colour of the strap totally contrasts the darkness of the watch and changes the appearance in a very noticeable and good way.

I received this after doing a lot of research on the Frontier. Beware this is not the UK version therefore ths one I received did not have samsung pay and you are unable to install it. The customer service from Amazon was good ad always and a refund was processed for the item.
