Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Review
Updated review after 1 year of usage (below)
Since Nike Band was released on February 22, 2012, I am connected to my Health gadgets. After Nike I moved to Fitbit, then in later 2013 back to Samsung with the original Galaxy Gear watch. After that, I had all the versions of Microsoft Band and when they were discontinued I moved back to Samsung with the Gear 3 in November 2016.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier
It has what every smartwatch should have, GPS, WI-FI, large screen, changeable writs bands, extremely good battery life. Samsung is using Tizen OS, which leaves you fewer apps but again not a big deal.

Rating
3 out 5
After using the watch for a year
After a while the new product will loose its shine and you will see the realities. Originally I did rate the product 4 but I am cutting down one more mark for not finding all the apps which i see in other Android watches . Yes , its heavy, and yes you will complain specially in hot weathers.
Samsung can easily annoy you with Bixy and Samsung Pay, NO I don’t want to use it but they keep reminding you that and there is no way you can get rid of it. I found a way ! Saying bye bye to Samsung.
