Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using my Gear S3 Frontier a.k.a my "Dick Tracy" watch for the past 2 week and I must say it is a pleasure. I've made and received calls via the watch just to have the experience of doing it; it is not the idea why to do things but it works great in a pinch. I run the following apps on my watch: Phone, Contacts, Samsung Health, Weather, Samsung Pay, Music Player, Reminders, Alti-Barometer, Scheduler, Alarm, World clock, Gallery and of course find my phone. I've also setup two different Calendars to send a notification to the watch too. The phone works great but I don't want to talk into my wrist all the time, and you can move the call you answered on your watch to your phone, which is what I did one time, it was easy. Contact, there is not much to say about that. Samsung Health is good, it tells you when you have climbed a set of stairs, as long as the stairs are more than 10 feet. It counts your steps, I'm at 4200 today and my goal is 6500, and the goal is easy to change. Heart rate monitor is fine you just need to wear the watch a little tighter than you are likely use to. I found the heart rate to be accurate to my pulse\oxygen meter. The weather is as accurate as accuweather is. Samsung Pay works just like apple pay, easy to use and no problem to report. Music Player is best when your watch is paired with a Bluetooth headset. I've not missed a meeting since the Scheduler has moved to my wrist. The Alarm, well it is an alarm and if will wake you up. The World clock is helpful since I change time zones when I travel, now I don't wake the wife by calling when she is asleep. The Gallery is the only one I think is kind of silly, the watch face is small for really viewing a picture. My biggest concern was the battery life; with all these apps doing there thing and the always on watch face turned off I'm getting 4 days of use out of the watch battery. I don't know what it would be if the watch face was always on but I'll be trying it soon. I don't like a cluttered watch face, my current one has the time, date and battery status in percent. I have 9 others watch faces stored on my watch so I'm ready. There are lots of free watch faces available. I'm happy I selected the Samsung Gear S3 watch. By the way my first watch call was to my youngest son, whom has the same watch, I didn't know that until he told me he answered my call via his S3 watch. I believe you will be happy with this watch.
