I got 4 1/2 days my first charge. But there's a lot of factors that can cause battery drain: Brightness level, Watchface(some watchfaces work in the background collecting a lot of data) Amount of notifications(I limit my notifications to necessary ones not just everything hitting my wrist) and many other things. Get in the watch settings and customize it a bit for better battery.
Tbh, the sole reason I'm not upgrading is because the galaxy watch doesn't have an all black option. the specs seem too similar to throw in another $100 or so. My frontier s3 runs like a beast.
@Vince Friel true but all the watches tell you not to put them in water in the owners manual, however this persons statement that samsung doesnt promote the s3 as water resistant is just a bold face lie because it is in big and bold that the watch is water resistant.
Still going back and forth on this one and haven't pulled the trigger yet on upgrading. MST is actually one of my favorite features. So many cashiers have been surprised to see one that actually works
The gear S3 actually was advertised as water resistant up to like 1 or 1.5 metres. I get one wet all the time. Not game enough to take it swimming though. Which is almost enough for me to upgrade, just not a fan of the silver. Would prefer an all black 46mm option
Bro you make some high qual vids man damm. Just found out about your channel and I am already addicted man :D. LIke your voice, like your calmness makes you stand out :D. Keep it going!!!
@@assoukazakaria2099 I've worn mine out white water rafting, surfing, kayaking, you name it! I just don't take it into salt water. But I've seen so many mixed reviews, I think I might stop taking it into the water all together!
Dope video bro. Why did they remove MST for Samsung pay? I returned my Galaxy watch I got for Christmas for the Gear S3
4 роки тому
CJ, Just wanted to say, great video, very informative and insightful. I just got my Samsung Gear Watch 46mm LTE. As a paralyzed disabled veteran, I have to be able to call for help should I fall out of my wheelchair or bed. I had a Gear S2, but it was way too small for me. Plus the battery doesn't last very long. So when I had it on, I'd turn it off when I didn't need it but turn it on when I did. It's a good starter watch but I needed something that I could depend on. I love my Samsung Gear Watch. I still haven't figured out everything yet on how to use it. But the various faces and features is definitely so much better and the battery lasts 2 or 3 days.
Another Great Video CJ, I was thinking about getting it but I wasn't sure because I have Gear S3 Classic. I think it would've been a no brainier if there was a All Black Version. I do like the Waterproofing upgrade and the Bigger Battery but I also dislike the take away of MST. I know in the future we will going away from that technology but still a cool feature that adds to the watch. But you've brought a lot of Valid Points. Making it hard on a brother, lol!!! I think I may give in to your great points. Thanks, CJ. Appreciate you Brother. Congrats on 10k. I told you you were going to blow!
I mean the Gear S3 is great and if you use MST a lot keep it. My main love with the new watch is the battery honestly. I would've preferred all black too. Just Follow your Gut over anything I say. Thanks for the support. Supporters like you got me here.
@@CJKnowsTECH Thanks CJ, I'm going tohow it shakes out. Gonna wait and see what the Apple announcement is on Wednesday. Might give it a try again and have best of both worlds. The Note and Possibly a iPhone. We'll see what they bring to the table. I appreciate your words but your hard Work and Creativity has got you where you are. Great to have seen you set your goals and reach no matter what.
Yo CJ. Never had the S3. I am coming from the Sport. And my new Galaxy Watch is a beast compared to the Sport. Right now I would say the Galaxy Watch is dope. Great decision upgrading from the Sport. Great vid.
I'm going to buy the S3 over the Watch. And with the near $100 I save, I'm using that to buy the icon x 2018 for $99, since I just found out the next gen won't be much of an increase just like with the Galaxy Watch.
I had s3 frontier since launch. And Ive took showers in it and even been in the lake, ocean and pools with it. And nothing wrong works perfect. Only thing I can say if I wish my battery was better. And I also heard that the new watch can only use nfc 2 make payments. But I'll pass I'll keep my frontier like I kept my note 8 instead of upgrading to note 9 . These things don't have alotta changes. I'll wait in better watch and note 10 😁
The quality of these videos are insane. I was shocked to see that at the end he was celebrating 10k. I thought there would be well over a million just based on quality of video alone. I had to subscribe
Basically is a credit card terminal doesn’t have NFC which is what Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch uses. With the Gear S3 which still has MST you typically can still use your watch to pay.
@@CJKnowsTECH Thanks for the reply. I know you posted this video, but would you still think it was a good idea for me to go towards the Galaxy watch and part ways with my S3 frontier?
Haha, went with my gut and bought a S3 Frontier yesterday at BB. They Price Matched BJ's wholesale who has it for $269 + I had some gift cards. Had the wife with me and she agreed the two-tone just isn't where it's at. I have never used MST feature as this is my first but I'll be trying it out. For me someone who likes to be up to date with technology I just couldn't get past the minor upgrades made to the watch and the ALL black is just too hot to handle and I wasn't going 42mm with that smaller battery. I got two+ weeks to swap if for some reason, but time to do some battery life tests and enjoy this sexy new beast.
I'm not your pal, bud. Yes it's worth $200. I'd hope a used version is less than $200. Best buy sells a refurbished for $200 so I'd just make sure you check out the watch with the person you buy from.
Hey CJ...you might wanna check your manual and warranty for the Galaxy watch bro.. Samsung will not cover the Galaxy watch for water damage..which should come as no surprise because not tech maker who claims IP 68 will cover for water damage.
That is not working in EU. If they claim it is IP 68, even if they state in warranty that they will not cover water damage, they will be forced to cover it because they claimed it is IP 68.
the gear s3 is water Resistant up to 30 mins and dust resistant www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s3/performance/ HOWEVER ITS NOT SUTIBLE FOR SWIMMING OR DIVING
Hi. Thanks for the review. I use AOD on my gear S3, and with Tizen 2 the battery used to drain approx 3% per hour. Since Tizen 3, it drains anywhere from 4-6% per hour. Do you think I'll see a signficant improvement in battery life with the Galaxy Watch? I'm pissed off how Samsung released a firmware "upgrade" that halved the battery life of their flagship watch. Thanks
I waited for the Galaxy Watch to release but I ended up getting my Gear S3 Frontier 2 weeks ago and my girl got the Classic a couple days after, the MST is the main and only reason we got the S3, both Watches are fast, they don't lag, and the S3 lasts all day, even with all settings on high with alot of notifications, so I see it more of a downgrade than a upgrade, that new Processor, Ram or Software really isn't much of a difference, we got the S3 so we can finally have Watches together, but now we will use these until the Galaxy Watch 2 comes out and hopefully it has has the MST on it, Originally she got the Sport but I told her to return it because I didn't think the money was worth it lol it had no MST neither, and you can't make phone calls, I would recommend the Gear Sport for Athletic people that like to exercise or work out, and want it to solely monitor their workouts and exercises, the S3 and the Galaxy Watch do too but the Sport will hold up better against sweat and the rain or swimming
How did you get the Rolex watch face on the above video (2:28) ? I'm new to the smart watch thing. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Great video though
Personally, it depends on what your prefer. I prefer a MST interface. The galaxy gear doesn't have that. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then get the galaxy watch.
always looking forward to your reviews dude, so funny and different , love it dude. Have to get it , I have the s3 now just for a month haha ....but I want it after seeing this ....
I heard a rumour that the Galaxy watch and the wireless charger duo will be a bundle package for the holidays,if that is true I'll still rock my Frontier until then. Great video. Thanks for your input
I had galaxy watch , gear sport , gear fit pro and s3 classic.. I love s 3 classic the most, but it had battery and sensor problems, already repaired 3 times !
I take showers with my gear s3 and I also do loads of cardio and sweat. My gear S3 is good as new. Never have I had a problem with lag or slowdown. I personally don't see the point in upgrading unless the new Galaxy can surf the internet and I can watch UA-cam. My s3 does more then enough and the look is almost the same. I would save the money. My opinion
I've had the gear s,android wear watches,full android watches and nubia wear....Samsung has done something amazing to give you most of what you need maybe not all you want like with android wear or full but it works sooooooooooooo well I think imma stick to Samsung watches until they evolve the apps into what I want out of a smartwatch!!!
I want to buy the galaxy watch but not having the all black for 46mm is a deal breaker. Can anyone give me an idea hows the battery life on s3 frontier. Heard its bad compared to galaxy watch. Battery is the main reason i am concerend about gears 3 frontier.
Hi😀, I want to buy my first smartwatch but Im still confuse to choose either 1.Samsung gear classic, 2.samsung gear frontier, 3.samsung gear sport, 4.samsung galaxy Can you guys give me some suggestions/opinion/advice?? Thank you😀😄
Well they all have the same software and function the same. The main differences are battery, size, look etc. So which one meets those for you is the question?
Ouh i forget to ask about LTE version....how can the watch get wifi when they are away from phone...is it by somekind Simcard or what? N which would u prefer...with or without LTE edition?
You can login to your home wifi. And I've only used Bluetooth versions because my phone is with me everywhere. Unless you have situations where you want to leave your phone behind and still be connected then the LTE version is worth it. But I'd you'll always be near your phone in the range of Bluetooth then that version should be fine
The Note 9 is the better phone. But if you want to wait for the Note 10 that's not a bad idea either. Ultimately my best advice is always Follow your Gut. Do what your intuition trolled you to do and be Smart about it 😉
Had the Gear S3 for over a year and change last me 2.5 days on a full charge and my Galaxy Watch is still going after 3 days so far very nice. Didn't notice much of a difference on the displays. been wearing both watches for 2.5 days so far. What do you think about the steps counting have you noticed a difference the 24-log application is gone bro straight outta here i hate that. Great video BTW. Great to see other small UA-camrs like me putting out good content
CJKnowsTECH Hey man I’ve been plenty of times inside of the hot tub with my gear S3 still going hard no problems I think Samsung just makes good products and then they try to make another one to outperform it and have a hard time doing it subbed bro can’t wait to see more of your new stuff
Hello bro please help me i've just buy a galaxy watch 46mm it's written that i only have 2 days charge after charging it 100% i dont know if thats what you've got when you charge yours ... Waiting!
Just put it to use you'll find out. Use it and charge it a couple of times. Also update it if available. But use it and charge it a few times and also adjust settings over time. You'll get a feel for it after using it for some days
CJKnowsTECH Dammit CJ ..... you really just trying to make me mortgage my house or something. I need to start making videos again maybe I can get some donors 😂😂😂
I'll do an updated version of this when I get my iPhone XS this year. But I did do a video on this with my Gear S3: ua-cam.com/video/BqYBEQ4DXDA/v-deo.html Not as much functionality on iOS as Android but it does work it's just limited. I used my Gear S3 with my iPhone X for the last 4 months or so.
Good comparison CJ. The all black 42mm is a better version of the 46mm Galaxy Watch. Just feels like a better overall package. The 🔋 might be an issue, but we'll see. Hit me up if you're ever down to colab. 🤜🏽🤛🏾
Hey CJ, can you use the Samsung Watch on non Samsung devices? Can you use the payment system on a non Samsung device? Would you be able to do a review on how it works with non Samsung devices?
You definitely can use them on non-Samsung devices. Now the only non-Samsung device I've tried them with is an iPhone and iOS limits the capabilities of Samsung watches(no Samsung payment on iPhones obviously they want you to use Apple Pay instead). Now I have yet to use a Samsung watch with another Android phone and test how it works and if Samsung Pay is available. I might be getting a Pixel 3 device this year and I can test it then.
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks for the quick response! I have a one plus 6, so my concern is using contactless in stores or other payment options. I am not sure if Google Pay can be used on there, so that might be negative :(... Maybe Hauwei will come out with a new watch!
Being an owner of a gear S3 with a pixel 2 xl. You can use a non Samsung device with the watch and it works amazing. Samsung pay still can be used on the watch as well even if it's not a Samsung phone
ok end off the day its only wort to upgrade if you proper swimmer .today I will purchase old model just looks more mens . A black bezel on a silver watch is ugly. Don 't mind 2 working days most off the time im around power socket .Decision than
Late to the game but i dont have money so, ill be getting a samsung galaxy watch 46mm. 2nd hand. If it works it works, ita also in mint condition so its good. Half the price of the original
My Galaxy Watch and Watch 4 (black) are still going strong. My silver Galaxy 4 was destroyed by a SAMSUNG UPDATE which SAMSUNG refused to fix but tried to sell me a Galaxy Watch 5! They did not remedy what THEY caused!!! My S3 stopped working in 2021.
If you don't own either I'd say get the Galaxy Watch. Better battery life latest internals. But ultimately my best advice is Follow your Gut. Thanks for watching
For me its the Frontier as of now. I wonder why Samsung has put that ugly 2 tone black and silver color on the bigger model on the galaxy watch. The gear s3 screams beauty all over. Sticking with the gear S3.
The original Huawei watch was my first smartwatch and I liked it a lot. I skipped the Huawei watch 2 and grabbed the Samsung Gear S3. To be honest I prefer the Gear S3/Galaxy Watch over the Huawei watch but I have yet to use Wear OS since it replaced Android Wear. But I will say Huawei makes great watched I enjoyed mines and still have it. Thanks for watching
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks a lot for your response, you do the most original UA-cam comparative videos. I just want a watch totally independent of the phone and that have enough battery for at least have two day duration. That's why I like Huawei is the only one to let you put a SIM chip...I am waiting the Huawei watch 3, I think this version fulfill my expectations. Please when this version will be available, do a video and compare it against the Samsung Galaxy watch.... I'll be waiting that video.... thanks in advance ;).
@@CJKnowsTECH yes but I saw a video for a Hawaiian guy...and according to him the LTE version only have a maximum duration of 6 hours....and that is not enough at all.....I hope that Huawei watch do it better....

what best gear s3 and Galaxy watch tell me
Tbh, the sole reason I'm not upgrading is because the galaxy watch doesn't have an all black option.
the specs seem too similar to throw in another $100 or so.
My frontier s3 runs like a beast.
Respect. I wanted all black too. The Gear S3 is a beast! And the Galaxy Watch is a bigger Beast. Both are great smartwatches. Thanks for watching
@@CJKnowsTECH the all back 42mm is pretty good. I had the 46mm Galaxy Watch but exchanged it. Glad I did.
I'm thinking about getting one of those black protective cases for the Galaxy watch to give it the all black look. Will also try the red color too.
How's the battery life on it?
Same here, too similar 2 upgrade. Same reason I'm rockin note8 and didn't upgrade to note9....
Now, that the gear s3 received a huge update to tizen 4.0, shockley, is it worth upgrading to the galaxy watch at all?
Also the Gear S3 is IP 68 certified as well.
I thought so

I've had the gear s,android wear watches,full android watches and nubia wear....Samsung has done something amazing to give you most of what you need maybe not all you want like with android wear or full but it works sooooooooooooo well I think imma stick to Samsung watches until they evolve the apps into what I want out of a smartwatch!!!
Samsung watches are Great
@@CJKnowsTECH man I never knew how much I missed my gear S till I got this!!! Samsung watches are in point
Will a Galaxy watch 46mm replacement band fit on the new 46mm S4? I don't see any bands out for the S4 yet.
Gear S3 watchbands fit the Galaxy Watch 46mm
Is the strap of s3 fit the galaxy watch? Thanks brotha 👍👌
Yes if you get the 46mm version which uses the same band size(22mm). If you get the 42mm version then No it uses 20mm band sizing.
@@CJKnowsTECH tnx alot brotha stay blessed 🙏👍👌
I want to buy the galaxy watch but not having the all black for 46mm is a deal breaker. Can anyone give me an idea hows the battery life on s3 frontier. Heard its bad compared to galaxy watch. Battery is the main reason i am concerend about gears 3 frontier.
i love your style yeah I'm in the market for a new smartphone and watch and you convinced me to buy the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy Watch, thank you
Great combo. Thanks for watching
Hi😀,
I want to buy my first smartwatch but Im still confuse to choose either 1.Samsung gear classic,
2.samsung gear frontier,
3.samsung gear sport,
4.samsung galaxy
Can you guys give me some suggestions/opinion/advice??
Thank you😀😄
Well they all have the same software and function the same. The main differences are battery, size, look etc. So which one meets those for you is the question?
@@CJKnowsTECH thank you for the response👍😀☺..
btw,nice video
Ouh i forget to ask about LTE version....how can the watch get wifi when they are away from phone...is it by somekind Simcard or what?
N which would u prefer...with or without LTE edition?
You can login to your home wifi. And I've only used Bluetooth versions because my phone is with me everywhere. Unless you have situations where you want to leave your phone behind and still be connected then the LTE version is worth it. But I'd you'll always be near your phone in the range of Bluetooth then that version should be fine
@@CJKnowsTECH thank you so muchhh for the information...👍😀💐
you know i am now struggling to decide if i will replace my note8 with note9 please help ?
The Note 9 is the better phone. But if you want to wait for the Note 10 that's not a bad idea either. Ultimately my best advice is always Follow your Gut. Do what your intuition trolled you to do and be Smart about it 😉
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks bro. I always watch your honest videos for info and advice and you always never disappoint me. God bless bro.
Thank you! Comments like this mean the most.
Had the Gear S3 for over a year and change last me 2.5 days on a full charge and my Galaxy Watch is still going after 3 days so far very nice. Didn't notice much of a difference on the displays. been wearing both watches for 2.5 days so far. What do you think about the steps counting have you noticed a difference the 24-log application is gone bro straight outta here i hate that. Great video BTW. Great to see other small UA-camrs like me putting out good content
Respect. Thanks for sharing your experience
CJKnowsTECH Hey man I’ve been plenty of times inside of the hot tub with my gear S3 still going hard no problems I think Samsung just makes good products and then they try to make another one to outperform it and have a hard time doing it subbed bro can’t wait to see more of your new stuff
Yeah the Gear S3 actually is IP68 rated. You're right Samsung makes great products. Thanks for the sub
Did you wear one on each wrist or both on one wrist?
My gear s3 also has nfc use Samsung pay all the time with it
Yeah Samsung Pay is legit
It was me for the 10k mark...Now can you please let me have your Galaxy watch!?!?!😎
😂
Can I charge my Samsung Gear S3 using the Galaxy Watch's dock
Hello bro please help me i've just buy a galaxy watch 46mm it's written that i only have 2 days charge after charging it 100% i dont know if thats what you've got when you charge yours ...
Waiting!
Just put it to use you'll find out. Use it and charge it a couple of times. Also update it if available. But use it and charge it a few times and also adjust settings over time. You'll get a feel for it after using it for some days
@@CJKnowsTECH thank you so much for this 😁... you are a cool person i Will do as you've adviced me
lol at the money in the b-roll
CJ where you been man. Been up here with only MKBHD and Flossy Carter, and never found your channel. Need my brothers on tech! Peace
Respect bro!
FINALLY!!! One of your videos that won’t abuse my bank account!! #TeamApple
LMAO😂😂😂
Apple season is right around the corner😉😂
CJKnowsTECH Dammit CJ ..... you really just trying to make me mortgage my house or something. I need to start making videos again maybe I can get some donors 😂😂😂
😂😂
What are the best watch faces to get for the galaxy watch?
Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/RBJRBAgE7LM/v-deo.html
How well does this watch work with the iphone? I think that something you should try next
I'll do an updated version of this when I get my iPhone XS this year. But I did do a video on this with my Gear S3: ua-cam.com/video/BqYBEQ4DXDA/v-deo.html
Not as much functionality on iOS as Android but it does work it's just limited. I used my Gear S3 with my iPhone X for the last 4 months or so.
Gear s3 is advertised as water resistant just not by much
I'm gonna buy a smart watch for the first time so I think galaxy watch will do great on my wrist.... :)
Great choice!
What about the heart rate in galaxy watch?. There are some reviews which say that it doesn't work well.
Which one is better to take S3 gear frontier or galaxy watch?
Galaxy Watch has the best battery
@@CJKnowsTECH is S3 gear frontier worth buying in 2022?
Does the Gear S3 have features/apps that galaxy watch doesn't?
I'm a fan, nice video. I love my Galaxy Watch. Worth the upgrade
Thanks! Yup it's definitely a great upgrade
Good comparison CJ. The all black 42mm is a better version of the 46mm Galaxy Watch. Just feels like a better overall package. The 🔋 might be an issue, but we'll see. Hit me up if you're ever down to colab. 🤜🏽🤛🏾
Yes for a woman it's better.
What watch face are you using?
Which one?
@@CJKnowsTECH sorry I forgot to say which one lol, the one at 34 seconds
DAYTONA RLX Blue Midnight
Great comparison CJ!
Hey CJ, can you use the Samsung Watch on non Samsung devices? Can you use the payment system on a non Samsung device?
Would you be able to do a review on how it works with non Samsung devices?
You definitely can use them on non-Samsung devices. Now the only non-Samsung device I've tried them with is an iPhone and iOS limits the capabilities of Samsung watches(no Samsung payment on iPhones obviously they want you to use Apple Pay instead). Now I have yet to use a Samsung watch with another Android phone and test how it works and if Samsung Pay is available. I might be getting a Pixel 3 device this year and I can test it then.
What phone do you have or plan to use with it?
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks for the quick response! I have a one plus 6, so my concern is using contactless in stores or other payment options. I am not sure if Google Pay can be used on there, so that might be negative :(... Maybe Hauwei will come out with a new watch!
No problem. It seems like Samsung pay is strictly for Samsung Devices only.
Being an owner of a gear S3 with a pixel 2 xl. You can use a non Samsung device with the watch and it works amazing. Samsung pay still can be used on the watch as well even if it's not a Samsung phone
Can I read PDF files with this watch?
which app I have to use?
Mst Samsung pay made me get gear s3 over galaxy watch. Saved money, and got functions the galaxy watch doesn't have
ok end off the day its only wort to upgrade if you proper swimmer .today I will purchase old model just looks more mens . A black bezel on a silver watch is ugly. Don 't mind 2 working days most off the time im around power socket .Decision than
Late to the game but i dont have money so, ill be getting a samsung galaxy watch 46mm. 2nd hand. If it works it works, ita also in mint condition so its good. Half the price of the original
My Galaxy Watch and Watch 4 (black) are still going strong. My silver Galaxy 4 was destroyed by a SAMSUNG UPDATE which SAMSUNG refused to fix but tried to sell me a Galaxy Watch 5! They did not remedy what THEY caused!!! My S3 stopped working in 2021.
What is the better? Galaxy watch or gear s3 ??
If you don't own either I'd say get the Galaxy Watch. Better battery life latest internals. But ultimately my best advice is Follow your Gut. Thanks for watching
I love this watch so much and its better than the s3 its the best.
Nice! Thanks for sharing your take on this. Thanks for watching
For me its the Frontier as of now. I wonder why Samsung has put that ugly 2 tone black and silver color on the bigger model on the galaxy watch. The gear s3 screams beauty all over. Sticking with the gear S3.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Why not?! Love it, great video. 👍🏻
Thanks!
Straight to the point.. again n again n..... :D
Thanks for watching
Aye!
New sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Well, I upgraded!
Me too😂😄
What do you think about the Huawei watch 2?
The original Huawei watch was my first smartwatch and I liked it a lot. I skipped the Huawei watch 2 and grabbed the Samsung Gear S3. To be honest I prefer the Gear S3/Galaxy Watch over the Huawei watch but I have yet to use Wear OS since it replaced Android Wear. But I will say Huawei makes great watched I enjoyed mines and still have it. Thanks for watching
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks a lot for your response, you do the most original UA-cam comparative videos. I just want a watch totally independent of the phone and that have enough battery for at least have two day duration. That's why I like Huawei is the only one to let you put a SIM chip...I am waiting the Huawei watch 3, I think this version fulfill my expectations. Please when this version will be available, do a video and compare it against the Samsung Galaxy watch.... I'll be waiting that video.... thanks in advance ;).
Have you considered the LTE version of smartwatches(Samsung has these and many others too)? Sure I'll look to get it and put it head to head
@@CJKnowsTECH yes but I saw a video for a Hawaiian guy...and according to him the LTE version only have a maximum duration of 6 hours....and that is not enough at all.....I hope that Huawei watch do it better....
S3 isn't water resistant? That's all I needed to know
It actually is IP68 (1.5m of fresh water for 30mins) per Samsung's website
OMG! THAT'S MICHAEL JORDAN!!!
Ordered the Galaxy watch three times on Amazon, two if which times it ordered the gear S3 frontier
Well I hope you finally get your Galaxy Watch 😁
What is MST technology?
"Magnetic Secure Transmission, or MST, is an advanced technology that helps power Samsung Pay. ... Accepted at nearly all payment terminals with a card reader, MST technology is very convenient and is even more secure than traditional methods of payment card"
@@CJKnowsTECH
Thanks
