Jeppe Werring im so upset about the note 7 tbh. such a beautiful phone. I can get a new phone in may but I think I'm gonna wait and hope they release a note 8 next year. its gonna he hard tho cause this Nexus 5x sucks ass
Brian M same. They did everything right on the note 7 (minus, well, you know), the curved display, the waterproofing, the thing spen, iris scanner, and all the multi tasking and note taking abilities it had was just unmatched. I keep looking at other "phablets" but none of them offer a build in pen, curved display and waterproof. In fact, most of them don't have any of those
I have the Gear S2 and when it comes to charging, I do it when I get ready in the morning including a shower. I find that's enough time to charge it for the day. that way I can sleep with the watch on.
And here I am, rocking my 1st gen Moto360 all stainless steel version. I'm sorry but I still can't get away from the aesthetic perfection that Motorola got with this one. If there was another version that looked exactly the same with updated internals, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I get compliments on it all the time, because it looks so futuristic, but also minimalistic. The Gear S3 Frontier is a fantastic smartwatch though, ticks all the boxes of what I'd want my dream smartwatch to be able to do. Feb. 6, 2018 - Edit: This review stuck with me and I ended up getting the Gear S3 Frontier (wifi only). I love it, and it's even better in 2018 with the Tizen 3.0.1 update.
Sheldon Williams haha now I know way apple make so much money cause adriold user are sooo I damn cheap . I have dumb watches that do far less a cost three times as much
apple watches sell on brand power and buy an iPhone, get a watch at __% off deals through carriers. Traditional watches sell for thousands because they will literally last for generations. That's human generations, not technological generations. Smartwatches are too expensive to be an impulse buy, have fierce competition from cheaper bands that can give notifications and so far have no solid guarantee that they won't be obsoleted in a year or two. It's a tough sell, since they also don't enjoy the perks of being nearly essential like phones are.
I'd been using a original Samsung Galaxy Gear for a while now and for what I needed it to do, it worked very well. Being rather shallow however I began to want a bit more customisation on my watch and so just today got a Gear S3 and it is fantastic. I do kind of miss the camera in the strap from the Galaxy Gear but the S3 is just much more comfortable to wear and the selection of watch faces is great, plus I finally have a moving second hand.
Phillip Pugh maybe. I'm looking at them from an apparel perspective. They may have the same functions but they don't look the same. At that price it should fit with casual as we'll as business attire. Just my opinion 😁
I've had the Samsung S2 3G smart watch for a year and a half now and love it except for the battery life, if you really use the watch, make calls, it won't last long, but it's great if you don't use it much and it works perfectly as a watch to ride your motorcycle with. However, I ordered the new S3 (verizon 4G) watch and hope the battery life is better than the S2. I also, look forward to the ez pay feature on it.
"as a watch to ride your motorcycle with..." I also ride a motorcycle, what do you like about the Gear S3 for riding? I'm curious, very much on the fence of buying my first smartwatch. My wrists are usually covered by my jacket/gloves when riding though.
Love the gear s3 frontier i have, its the bt version. It works wonders with my s7 edge, using it with any other phone is really just gimping the experience imo!
What samsung is doing is trying to realize the one true dream of a smartwatch: a computer and communicator on your wrist. There are a people currently uninterested in smartwatches because they don't replace a phone, and the day a company can do that is the day their smartwatch is revolutionary. Samsung has gotten the closest of anyone with this.
Who as a kid used to "talk" into their watches while playing? 😄 On a serious note I wish this had a "walkie talkie" feature so my wife, kids and I could cross talk to each other inside a dept store. THAT would be a game changer for security in case my daughter wants to go see somewhere else like kids do. On the kids watch have an LOUD or silent panic button system for us to quickly locate them in an heartbeat instant their last known location. So still a few features away from being the ultimate watch. I'd easily but this for my daughter even if it was $1000 for those two features alone.
Awesome vid! I laughed when u said magnetic field its sound so futuristic haha. Good stuff I am jealous of Samsung pay, as using an Apple Watch I wish our country would speed the NFC rollout game up a lil faster, it's already been a few years.
Here's the future of smartwatch and probably Samsung will have it. A useful modular strap which has an extended features such as camera, battery or speaker. That would be awesome.
I'll agree with everything Michael said with one exception. I love that my S3 Frontier is completely autonomous from the phone. If I'm out on a ride there's no need for my S7 Edge since the watch can handle calls and messages. I know for some it's not a big deal but for me, that's the whole reason for a smart watch. Great review as always MrMobile!
I actually own both. I alternate depending on which OS I feel like using for the day. I usually use the Huawei when I go out and the S2 for everyday use.
To be honest, I always wait for any new video no matter what it talks about. You are one of the best reviewers I have ever seen ! Everything is perfect in your videos ❤
Not gonna lie, this is the most I've gotten interested in an Android smartwatch. I'd probably just get a normal watch though, or one with a notification light. I wish you'd do more of those.
for me as a person, who is extremely cautious with handling modern technology, this was painful to watch ...but I understand, the watch has to whitstand even these situations
I got s3 frontier recently for my birthday... and i absolutely love it.. i ride moterbike everyday and i easily takes my call, control my music on my wrist...
In Sept. 2022 I'm still wearing my 2yr old $100 Refurbished Gear S3 Frontier. (BT) I wear it when wade fishing in Saltwater, the rain & extreme heat here in SE Texas. Not a single issue to date. I throw it on charge each night but can easily get 2 days out of it. It's been dunked in Sand & water & somehow it's still working & looking new.
Ah the Galaxy S III. My first Samsung review back in the Pocketnow days (and the briefing where I met many fellow tech UA-camrs for the first time). Fond memories.
Absolutely love my Gear S3. I had the original Galaxy Gear and was waiting for the right time when I felt Samsung had a winner, and boy, is this Smartwatch a winner. For all you haters saying it's "expensive" it's not for you anyway because you clearly can't afford it. Just like many things in life. Just because YOU can't afford something, doesn't automatically mean it's "expensive." I usually wear a $1000 Bulova analog watch, and while I like it, it does do anything really other than look nice an tell the time. My Gear S3 however is perfect. I work out lots, leave my phone in my office while talking to staff so the notifications and reminders are priceless. So, bottom line is, if you're too cheap, get a lower quality smartwatch. If you want the best, get the Gear S3 Frontier. Simple really
omg!! samsung hit a home run with this one with bases loaded, this is exactly what i was waiting for, the gear s2 was just too small for my taste, i know exsacly what to ask my wife for christmas!!
Raymond Petit is not that serious man, every company have made they're share of mistakes, i mean just look at apple theu had the same problem before in many occasion, just look now they're offering free batteries because the phones reset themselves, also theu had a couple of 5 that betteries exploded, and let's not forget about bending iphones. trust me that's not gonna stop me i lasted 2 months with both note 7 and had zero problems so did my wife, let's not start judging companies for mistakes let's be real who's perfect brother.
I like the video quality a log Michael, your edits and how you show stuff on camera is just amazing. Nothing I can compare it to any other tech reviewer!
Great video as always, but I had a gear s2 and support is terrible! They say they'll do all this stuff and it's gets delayed and often didnt even happen, I can go in depth if anyone wants me to. The design of this is great and the os isnt too bad, but Samsung will leave you in the dust
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] sure Michael! After I got out of the honeymoon phase, I started to notice the poor amount of apps. Samsung claimed a bunch of great names coming to the tizen, but there was an extremely disappointing amount at launch, and some did come months later, but still not all. I wasn't expecting a ton of apps, but it was surprising compared to Android wear and made it kind of annoying to use. If you can stick to the stock watch faces, some of which I really loved, then you're fine, but to do a lot of extra stuff that's not built in was nearly impossible. They also promised many watch band options that didn't come at all and thanks to the proprietary band there wasn't much option. They finally announced 6 months later they would release an adapter to use any 20 mm band, but that never came. They also claimed Samsung pay at launch and kept delaying and say it's coming, but when 8 months after release a beta first came out, and I'm not sure how far that has come as of today. Again, they promised iOS support "soon" after launch which we went without news of for several months until we got an update saying it would come in February or March I believe, and I never saw it happen. The design and hardware was really nice and if i could stick with the stock apps and watch faces and bands, I would've loved it. But comparing it to Android wear, I was very disappointed.
thats nice to know. but it still lacks play support (and I love watch maker and my other custom faces). I hope they make a Gear S Live or something along those lines
Bought Gear S2 two days ago along with Huawei Mate 8. Probably the best two gadgets I have ever owned. Love the battery life and real life performance of Mate 8 and love the overall look & feel and functionality of Gear S2. Thanks for the great review again Michael.
I picked the Huawei Watch with a milanese band when it came out and I still would not replace it with anything else that was released after it. I get about 1.5-2 days of use out of it. The screen is super sharp and has sapphire glass instead of gorilla glass which scratches. I would love to see Android Wear 2.0 released. The OS does hang sometimes still but it's much much faster and smoother than at the beginning. I would bet that Google moved up the date because they want to release their own watch with it as first to have it. 2.0 looks so much more complete and easier to use... Nicer animations won't hurt either.
One of my favorite things about having creative control over my reviews is that I don't have to boil them down to a number. No 1-10 review scale here. Sorry!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Just asked... I am still waiting fot the S3 to launch here in Kuwait to buy one....Will pick up the frontier. I hope it wont be that big on my wrist... Cant wait.... Thanks for the reply :)
I have the Bluetooth-only Frontier and I think it is worth mentioning that it is not *strictly* Bluetooth only - whenever I stray out of BT range of my phone the watch automatically switches to WiFi mode and maintains the connection with my phone over the WiFi. It does seem however to need to be on the same access point - if my phone is on my 5G AP and the watch on the 2G AP then they don't see each other, but if they're both on the 2G AP then the connection remains intact. The watch doesn't do 5G. When I move back into BT range then the watch switches automatically back to BT again.
The watch pairs in phone-only mode by default (no media). Unsure if there's a way to override this, but you wouldn't want to as the speaker really isn't great.
I feel you're quiet underrated and for the kind of reviews you give and the kind of videos you make is just awe inspiring. nothing less than a million subscriber will do justice to the kind of tech review and videos you make. I hope you reach those numbers soon, all the best mate and Love & Peace from India,].
It seems like all these neat watches are made for men,are there anything for women to wear?I mean I wouldn't mind wearing this but I'd like a better strap geared(no pun intended)towards women,we women love Tech too like me I love to be up on the latest stuff!
Gaellic can't tell you how many times my wife has echoed your exact statements. to make matters worse she has what I believe the tiniest wrists I've ever seen in my life. I ended up buying her a gear fit 2 based solely on the size but she misses out on great features like the gear s3 has due to it just being too massive for her. These companies really need to pay more attention and cater toward the female user base.
+Gaellic We media folks have been asking this exact same question at press briefings for years. Very few manufacturers are building products for your segment and frankly it sucks.
good review but I differ with you on a few points. Size of the watch is bigger than I thought I would like, until I got it. Now I love it as one must have a watch big enough to be able to use rather than just look at. small watch face on other SmartWatches makes it impossible to get anything done. Between the size of the screen and the revolving bezel, Samsung has hit a homerun. In addition, the results are ten to one in favor of the frontier over the classic, even though you prefer the classic. Also, most really liked the softness of the silicone band on the frontier as opposed to the stiffness of the leather band on the classic. You seem to have gotten them mixed up. thus far, as I watch the Smartwatch Market, I can't see another watch that even comes close to being cool the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. and, as I wear it and get so many compliments on it, I am surprised to see how many friends, and strangers who notice it, were all wearing very large watches. This seems to be what most guys , and a lot of gals, want these days.
Yeah but android is android right now my Gear Fit sucks little bit because it's not supported by Android 6.0 no apps available, no always on etc but 2 weeks battery life is awesome tho
Thanks for the clarifying review about the LTE part ... the only one I've seen so far. Living in Belgium it's unfortunate that some Samsung features haven't yet made it here. E.g. Samsung pay and the LTE version of the S3. However I assumed naively that the LTE version would just mimic your phone and use its mobile plan and that once again Europe wouldn't get an amazing feature ... but it's indeed logical from a commercial perspective that this would allow sharing one mobile plan between several people and thus one is stuck with a separate mobile plan for the watch. ... I'm feeling a lot less disappointed about not going to have a LTE version now ... since I wouldn't be able to justify the extra plan. Yet it would have felt good to know the option was there if I wanted it ... ...thus it's a bit annoying having to realize than one lives in a world where some consumer decisions are being made above our heads... like e.g. limited countries where Samsung S7 payed themes are available... although in that case there are workarounds ;)
Phillip Pugh Not everyone can get a better paying job, dude, but I have plenty of income, it's just that I have an Axon 7, and this watch is only $50 away from that.
Hugh Mungus then get a used watch this is the going price for the latest watch . Where have you been the last two years. The cheapest I watch is the same price and it's butt ugly . You bought a $2 50 phone sooo why are you even looking at a video about a $350 watch...just so you can complain later ..make know since to me . I purchased the gs7 edge that's $800 so the price of the watch to me is where it should be . The problem with a lot of Android users is all the cheap Chinese stuff that floods the market so now you think a every thing should be $200 . Buy a Chinese knock off watch there under $100
Phillip Pugh First off, the Axon 7 is $400, and second, I'm watching because Mr. Mobile makes entertaining reviews and because I find smart watches interesting. Also, if you didn't notice, he said in the review himself it is too expensive. I wouldn't have complained if I thought it was worth it. Also, of course Samsung makes the price fair in accordance with the GS7 - that's the market they're targeting.
At the briefing a couple folks hit 'em with the "where's the ladies' version?" question and Samsung basically said that people who want a smaller version should buy the S2. Pretty weak. They were big on quoting sales metrics of previous-gen watches that seemed to indicate they should target S3 more at a male audience -- chicken-and-egg problem if I ever saw one.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] agreed. What the heck?? Oh well.. I'll just have to stick with companies that are interested in providing for the females. We love tech too! ❤️ haha
Yeah I'd wager it's that they used their market research numbers without bothering to consider whether the current image of smartwatches in general (black, heavy, and chunky) puts off a lot of women. In any case their strategy is to continue selling the S2 beside the S3 as a thinner, budget-friendlier alternative. It's probably still worth the trade-off of not capturing as much of the female demographic to keep their old production line going.
After using the watch for half a year I can say it is brilliant can see my self always having a Samsung watch and I have the faces u have have 202 faces now and 3 straps hoping to get more , Running strap, Work and 6th forum strap and also going out strap
Samsung thanks for making the Gear S & Galaxy Note 4! Still at the top of the list for most innovative! I'll be standing by with these products until your company becomes innovative again.
I have this watch since 2017. I bought it for 233€ (280$ i guess). It still manages to be used 3 days between charges, i use it every day at work where i use tools, get dirty, work with chemicals and sometimes it bumps into stuff. But it still works perfectly. Even better: the control ring is scuffed up pretty bad but it prevented the glas from getting scratched. It is in nearly perfect condition. Love this thing.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I got the original Samsung watch, the Gear and the I got the Gear 2, but the biggest issue I had was the battery life. I ended up with a Garmin Feix 3HR, and it's been really awesome. Charge it once a week or two. It's thin of smart phone features, but it's a great fit for me.
Honestly, I have no idea where you came up with the pricing... I just got it today to upgrade my Gear 2 NEO, which I also was/am in love with. The price for the Frontier as of Jan/28/2017 is: AT&T: $349, $249 with two year commitment at a $10 monthly plan or 20 installments of $17/month. Regardless of the purchase option, the added device to anybodies plan will com with a price tag of $10/month. B&H sells this watch for $249 - No tax + free shipping, however the carriers will charge you $49 for "activation". In any case, the watch is simply stunning and was a good enough reason for me to give up the also very well designed Gear 2 Neo. It connects flawlessly to my car's audio system, just like the phone does and I intentionally left my phone at home... Car conversation - impeccable; call from wrist (in a store), impeccable... Nothing else to ask; will install the browser and I will most likely leave my phone at home most of the time :)
Phone > Watch > Headphone, that's like a network snake lol it sounds fun btw. And great video buddy, I hope you keep going on and review other Smart watches which nobody heard of like Tickwatch 2

Samsung seems to be doing everything right these days, great product designers and engineers.
except note 7
Clearly the Note 7 is the best-in-class luxurious grenade.
Jeppe Werring im so upset about the note 7 tbh. such a beautiful phone. I can get a new phone in may but I think I'm gonna wait and hope they release a note 8 next year. its gonna he hard tho cause this Nexus 5x sucks ass
Brian M yea. Wait, so do we know 100% there will be a note 8?
Brian M same. They did everything right on the note 7 (minus, well, you know), the curved display, the waterproofing, the thing spen, iris scanner, and all the multi tasking and note taking abilities it had was just unmatched. I keep looking at other "phablets" but none of them offer a build in pen, curved display and waterproof. In fact, most of them don't have any of those
The script, editing and background music always make the videos so perfectly beautiful. Keep up the hard work👍🏼
I have the Gear S2 and when it comes to charging, I do it when I get ready in the morning including a shower. I find that's enough time to charge it for the day. that way I can sleep with the watch on.
Dan Moran i do the same
Hey that's not a bad idea!
What kind of charger does it need also what is the slot at the bottom for? Ty.
Google needs to push out Android Wear 2.0 already. The competition is outpacing it.
Strongly agree.
Lol the competition has already jumped way ahead of AW2.0, which is why I am buying this to replace my LG URBANE.
insainllama haha it's a wrap The gear s3...is the one
Taco it's been out for 3 weeks now there so behind on preorder that they can't put them on the shelf. I'm still waiting for mine from Samsung
2:18 made my jaw drop. I had no idea that was possible.
My S3 Frontier last usually between 3 to 5 days. Personally I think that its the best smart watch on the market.
I totally agree.
And here I am, rocking my 1st gen Moto360 all stainless steel version. I'm sorry but I still can't get away from the aesthetic perfection that Motorola got with this one. If there was another version that looked exactly the same with updated internals, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

That's why consumers aren't to thrilled about smart watches because they are the price of a midrange phone. I rather spend 349 for ps4 pro.
Sheldon Williams thats why there are so many apple watches sold and regular watches that cost a thousand bucks...
Robert Ri Yep.
Watches are more of a beautiful construction/fashion thing. Not the same with smart watches.
Sheldon Williams haha now I know way apple make so much money cause adriold user are sooo I damn cheap . I have dumb watches that do far less a cost three times as much
apple watches sell on brand power and buy an iPhone, get a watch at __% off deals through carriers. Traditional watches sell for thousands because they will literally last for generations. That's human generations, not technological generations.
Smartwatches are too expensive to be an impulse buy, have fierce competition from cheaper bands that can give notifications and so far have no solid guarantee that they won't be obsoleted in a year or two. It's a tough sell, since they also don't enjoy the perks of being nearly essential like phones are.
I hope the smartwatch industry changes and offers more affordable options, similar to the recent sub-$400 trend of phones in the smartphone industry.
dude in my heart i just love you, please never stop these beautiful videos!
Gear S3 is the winner of all modern watches
Got mine.
Without mentioning names, you have just slipped up a notch and become my number one favorite on you tube. Love your presentations.
The frontier looks better to me...
Tech Inc. true
True
Tech Incorporated I also agree.
you schould check out the kingsman when it comes out ua-cam.com/video/3PgFqqV7-SY/v-deo.html
Yup
I'd been using a original Samsung Galaxy Gear for a while now and for what I needed it to do, it worked very well.
Being rather shallow however I began to want a bit more customisation on my watch and so just today got a Gear S3 and it is fantastic.
I do kind of miss the camera in the strap from the Galaxy Gear but the S3 is just much more comfortable to wear and the selection of watch faces is great, plus I finally have a moving second hand.
For those in search of a deeper look at the Gear S3, Android Central's review just went up: www.androidcentral.com/samsung-gear-s3
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Great review!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] please do the classic. the frontier is lame.
ob1 kanobi huh there basically the same, oh and FYI the frontier is the most popular of the two but to each there own
Do you have to be using a Samsung phone too in order to use mobile payments on it with MST?
Phillip Pugh maybe. I'm looking at them from an apparel perspective. They may have the same functions but they don't look the same. At that price it should fit with casual as we'll as business attire. Just my opinion 😁
I've had the Samsung S2 3G smart watch for a year and a half now and love it except for the battery life, if you really use the watch, make calls, it won't last long, but it's great if you don't use it much and it works perfectly as a watch to ride your motorcycle with. However, I ordered the new S3 (verizon 4G) watch and hope the battery life is better than the S2. I also, look forward to the ez pay feature on it.
"as a watch to ride your motorcycle with..."
I also ride a motorcycle, what do you like about the Gear S3 for riding? I'm curious, very much on the fence of buying my first smartwatch. My wrists are usually covered by my jacket/gloves when riding though.
Love the gear s3 frontier i have, its the bt version. It works wonders with my s7 edge, using it with any other phone is really just gimping the experience imo!
This was the best review of those 7 of others videos what i have watched! Good job man GV =Good Video
What samsung is doing is trying to realize the one true dream of a smartwatch: a computer and communicator on your wrist. There are a people currently uninterested in smartwatches because they don't replace a phone, and the day a company can do that is the day their smartwatch is revolutionary. Samsung has gotten the closest of anyone with this.
Still have my samsung gear s3 frontier and love it.
Who as a kid used to "talk" into their watches while playing? 😄
On a serious note I wish this had a "walkie talkie" feature so my wife, kids and I could cross talk to each other inside a dept store.
THAT would be a game changer for security in case my daughter wants to go see somewhere else like kids do. On the kids watch have an LOUD or silent panic button system for us to quickly locate them in an heartbeat instant their last known location.
So still a few features away from being the ultimate watch. I'd easily but this for my daughter even if it was $1000 for those two features alone.
Rxonmymind I’m glad parents have these mentalities
The way he slammed the watch on the table when he was talking about how rugged it is. Its the little nuances that make this channel awesome!!
Awesome vid! I laughed when u said magnetic field its sound so futuristic haha. Good stuff I am jealous of Samsung pay, as using an Apple Watch I wish our country would speed the NFC rollout game up a lil faster, it's already been a few years.
Michael, your videos bring back
Memories when I lived on mystic avenue in Medford. I would be in Somerville and Cambridge every weekend.
Here's the future of smartwatch and probably Samsung will have it. A useful modular strap which has an extended features such as camera, battery or speaker. That would be awesome.
I'll agree with everything Michael said with one exception. I love that my S3 Frontier is completely autonomous from the phone. If I'm out on a ride there's no need for my S7 Edge since the watch can handle calls and messages. I know for some it's not a big deal but for me, that's the whole reason for a smart watch. Great review as always MrMobile!
Tizen is cool but sometimes notifications are clunky as you said. Gear s2 owner here waiting for the Huawei watch. Great video as usual!!!
Huawei watch is a very nice piece of hardware.
Julio De La Torre the tizen UI is so much more optimization then android ware I know cause I own both and this new gear s3 is the best Smart watch out
I actually own both. I alternate depending on which OS I feel like using for the day. I usually use the Huawei when I go out and the S2 for everyday use.
To be honest, I always wait for any new video no matter what it talks about. You are one of the best reviewers I have ever seen ! Everything is perfect in your videos ❤
0:44 Nice feature se- *BAM!*
JEEZ WHY YOU GOTTA SCARE ME LIKE THAT?!!!??!
Not gonna lie, this is the most I've gotten interested in an Android smartwatch. I'd probably just get a normal watch though, or one with a notification light. I wish you'd do more of those.
for me as a person, who is extremely cautious with handling modern technology, this was painful to watch ...but I understand, the watch has to whitstand even these situations
The editing makes this look like a tv show. Even the intro does!
$399 at T-Mobile $5 a month for service in case you're wondering.
I got my Classic for $299
chivatech got mine for $50 plus tax from AT&T cause I bought a new phone.
I got my classic for 150$
I had my frontier for just 175€
I got s3 frontier recently for my birthday... and i absolutely love it.. i ride moterbike everyday and i easily takes my call, control my music on my wrist...
Hit like who want to know name of all beautiful watch faces in this awesome video 👍🏻
In Sept. 2022 I'm still wearing my 2yr old $100 Refurbished Gear S3 Frontier. (BT)
I wear it when wade fishing in Saltwater, the rain & extreme heat here in SE Texas.
Not a single issue to date. I throw it on charge each night but can easily get 2 days out of it. It's been dunked in Sand & water & somehow it's still working & looking new.
Who else read it as the Samsung S3 Review lol...Either way I would love to see MrMobile review the old Samsung Galaxy S3 in 2016
Ah the Galaxy S III. My first Samsung review back in the Pocketnow days (and the briefing where I met many fellow tech UA-camrs for the first time). Fond memories.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] I Had an S3 LTE up until the start of summer 2016, bought a 6P. NEVER GOING BACK
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] You should do a "rereview" for the MrMobile Channel using a Galaxy S3 for a week or two.
AWW YIS!!! I didn't know you were back to reviewing tech again. definitely one of the best reviewers out there.
Michael is.... David Hasslehoff 😂👍 🕒 🚗
ouch
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] that's what you get for talking to your watch ☺
Absolutely love my Gear S3. I had the original Galaxy Gear and was waiting for the right time when I felt Samsung had a winner, and boy, is this Smartwatch a winner. For all you haters saying it's "expensive" it's not for you anyway because you clearly can't afford it. Just like many things in life. Just because YOU can't afford something, doesn't automatically mean it's "expensive." I usually wear a $1000 Bulova analog watch, and while I like it, it does do anything really other than look nice an tell the time. My Gear S3 however is perfect. I work out lots, leave my phone in my office while talking to staff so the notifications and reminders are priceless. So, bottom line is, if you're too cheap, get a lower quality smartwatch. If you want the best, get the Gear S3 Frontier. Simple really
Who else says " say mobile my friends" with him at the end? 😂

Keep up the great work 😄loving your videos
Susav Shrestha isn't it stay mobile my friends?

Michael fisher u r one d most accurate , detail , precise on similar line with marques ..... one of ma fav reviewer after marques
omg!! samsung hit a home run with this one with bases loaded, this is exactly what i was waiting for, the gear s2 was just too small for my taste, i know exsacly what to ask my wife for christmas!!
themessiah809 that's what we all said about the Note 7! Then look what happened! I still have mine but it's a smaller crowd these days.
That's just called a grand slam
Raymond Petit is not that serious man, every company have made they're share of mistakes, i mean just look at apple theu had the same problem before in many occasion, just look now they're offering free batteries because the phones reset themselves, also theu had a couple of 5 that betteries exploded, and let's not forget about bending iphones. trust me that's not gonna stop me i lasted 2 months with both note 7 and had zero problems so did my wife, let's not start judging companies for mistakes let's be real who's perfect brother.
I like the video quality a log Michael, your edits and how you show stuff on camera is just amazing. Nothing I can compare it to any other tech reviewer!
Great video as always, but I had a gear s2 and support is terrible! They say they'll do all this stuff and it's gets delayed and often didnt even happen, I can go in depth if anyone wants me to. The design of this is great and the os isnt too bad, but Samsung will leave you in the dust
Yeah, if you've got the time I'd love to hear it. I didn't use the S2 for any length of time.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] sure Michael! After I got out of the honeymoon phase, I started to notice the poor amount of apps. Samsung claimed a bunch of great names coming to the tizen, but there was an extremely disappointing amount at launch, and some did come months later, but still not all. I wasn't expecting a ton of apps, but it was surprising compared to Android wear and made it kind of annoying to use. If you can stick to the stock watch faces, some of which I really loved, then you're fine, but to do a lot of extra stuff that's not built in was nearly impossible. They also promised many watch band options that didn't come at all and thanks to the proprietary band there wasn't much option. They finally announced 6 months later they would release an adapter to use any 20 mm band, but that never came. They also claimed Samsung pay at launch and kept delaying and say it's coming, but when 8 months after release a beta first came out, and I'm not sure how far that has come as of today. Again, they promised iOS support "soon" after launch which we went without news of for several months until we got an update saying it would come in February or March I believe, and I never saw it happen. The design and hardware was really nice and if i could stick with the stock apps and watch faces and bands, I would've loved it. But comparing it to Android wear, I was very disappointed.
This video is very well made, and informative! Well done. I'm excited to get mine!
4:40 I think that will change after the realese of the S8
i've tried the S3 in a Samsung store and omg the rotating bezel is so satisfying!
Undoubtedly the best smartwatch
best reviewer ever i was wondering if it really charged by any wirless charger and u answer that question no one else did that thank michael
i still prefer my huawei watch but I do like the rotating bezel and pay feature but the lack of android and samsung only devices kills it for me
xXPsych0ticM0nkeyXx you can use it with (almost) any Android phone now
thats nice to know. but it still lacks play support (and I love watch maker and my other custom faces). I hope they make a Gear S Live or something along those lines
xXPsych0ticM0nkeyXx too bad aint on any smart watch as sexy as the S3
D Rex I think the Huawei Watch is pretty damn sexy
i mean its pretty bland to me. it may be a nice regular watch, but it plan as heck
hey Mr mobile I've been looking for a good tech UA-camr for forever and now I've found one thanks
"built for those who need to do than those who need to wow" - yeah Apple, I am looking at you😒
Bought Gear S2 two days ago along with Huawei Mate 8. Probably the best two gadgets I have ever owned. Love the battery life and real life performance of Mate 8 and love the overall look & feel and functionality of Gear S2.
Thanks for the great review again Michael.
I picked the Huawei Watch with a milanese band when it came out and I still would not replace it with anything else that was released after it. I get about 1.5-2 days of use out of it. The screen is super sharp and has sapphire glass instead of gorilla glass which scratches.
I would love to see Android Wear 2.0 released. The OS does hang sometimes still but it's much much faster and smoother than at the beginning. I would bet that Google moved up the date because they want to release their own watch with it as first to have it. 2.0 looks so much more complete and easier to use... Nicer animations won't hurt either.
This is my 6th time watching this video, there isn't enough Michael Fisher in my life
what is the rambow spinning collored watch face called??
Rainbow Molecule
I miss this starting theme music in your current videos now :(
But I'm still a big fan of your top-notch reviews!!
How would you rate it from 1 to 10 ?
One of my favorite things about having creative control over my reviews is that I don't have to boil them down to a number. No 1-10 review scale here. Sorry!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Just asked... I am still waiting fot the S3 to launch here in Kuwait to buy one....Will pick up the frontier. I hope it wont be that big on my wrist... Cant wait.... Thanks for the reply :)
Vyshak K just seems too much for me for a watch. I like my simple pebble. just wish the voice speak on it was better
dedede666 I love to wear watches.... I would buy a truck load of watches if my wallet agrees with me.... most of the time it dont.... :D
I know that feel. Enjoy the watch when you get it!
I still use mine, this watch is a legend in the tech space it really stood up to the smart watch name.
Waiting for Gear S4
Better buy now
Just got it as a gift, thanks for the great video, bro and I love your watch faces
Wish I could appreciate smartwatchs as a category. But...I can't. 😴
Great review as always. I'm rocking my Gear S2 and love it. I don't think there's a need to upgrade yet
best watch ..
tizen better than Android ..
tried 360 2nd
I have the Bluetooth-only Frontier and I think it is worth mentioning that it is not *strictly* Bluetooth only - whenever I stray out of BT range of my phone the watch automatically switches to WiFi mode and maintains the connection with my phone over the WiFi. It does seem however to need to be on the same access point - if my phone is on my 5G AP and the watch on the 2G AP then they don't see each other, but if they're both on the 2G AP then the connection remains intact. The watch doesn't do 5G. When I move back into BT range then the watch switches automatically back to BT again.
Does it work on the pixel?
It does indeed. Andrew Martonik at Android Central has been using his with a Pixel and he reports no problems. (His full review will be up soon.)
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] can you also play your I heart radio music on the watch speaker since you can make phone calls?
The watch pairs in phone-only mode by default (no media). Unsure if there's a way to override this, but you wouldn't want to as the speaker really isn't great.
Thanks Michael.
I feel you're quiet underrated and for the kind of reviews you give and the kind of videos you make is just awe inspiring. nothing less than a million subscriber will do justice to the kind of tech review and videos you make. I hope you reach those numbers soon, all the best mate and Love & Peace from India,].
if I had to buy a smartwatch it would be the gear s3
It's nice
Mr Mobile, you have a very nice listenable voice. Thanks for the review.
It seems like all these neat watches are made for men,are there anything for women to wear?I mean I wouldn't mind wearing this but I'd like a better strap geared(no pun intended)towards women,we women love Tech too like me I love to be up on the latest stuff!
Gaellic can't tell you how many times my wife has echoed your exact statements. to make matters worse she has what I believe the tiniest wrists I've ever seen in my life. I ended up buying her a gear fit 2 based solely on the size but she misses out on great features like the gear s3 has due to it just being too massive for her. These companies really need to pay more attention and cater toward the female user base.
+Gaellic We media folks have been asking this exact same question at press briefings for years. Very few manufacturers are building products for your segment and frankly it sucks.
Get an Apple watch. Those are good for people with girly wrists.
Apple watch.
They're not popular among women because women have tiny wrists and don't use large watches. They're also less likely to use smartwatches.
good review but I differ with you on a few points. Size of the watch is bigger than I thought I would like, until I got it. Now I love it as one must have a watch big enough to be able to use rather than just look at. small watch face on other SmartWatches makes it impossible to get anything done. Between the size of the screen and the revolving bezel, Samsung has hit a homerun. In addition, the results are ten to one in favor of the frontier over the classic, even though you prefer the classic. Also, most really liked the softness of the silicone band on the frontier as opposed to the stiffness of the leather band on the classic. You seem to have gotten them mixed up. thus far, as I watch the Smartwatch Market, I can't see another watch that even comes close to being cool the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. and, as I wear it and get so many compliments on it, I am surprised to see how many friends, and strangers who notice it, were all wearing very large watches. This seems to be what most guys , and a lot of gals, want these days.
The gear s3 could be amazing if it had the same app support as the apple watch.
I've had the gear s2 classic since released and love it. Wear it every day. I will be looking into this in the future.
Love the design but please get rid of Tizen! No google features like Google Maps, Google Now, etc.
jun park yeah I would like to see Gear S3 Android Wear OS edition
There is HERE maps though
Yeah but android is android right now my Gear Fit sucks little bit because it's not supported by Android 6.0 no apps available, no always on etc but 2 weeks battery life is awesome tho
Michael Janicki cant have everything together ;)
jun park android wear is terrible in my opinion
Excellent review. Will most definitely be getting the Samsung LTE version.
Otieno no
Otieno I would if say ur phone dies. Lte is the smart choice if you can afford it.
Michael will you review the Zenwatch 3?
Rishabh Patel ZenWatch is actually better than this.
Thanks for the clarifying review about the LTE part ... the only one I've seen so far.
Living in Belgium it's unfortunate that some Samsung features haven't yet made it here. E.g. Samsung pay and the LTE version of the S3.
However I assumed naively that the LTE version would just mimic your phone and use its mobile plan and that once again Europe wouldn't get an amazing feature ... but it's indeed logical from a commercial perspective that this would allow sharing one mobile plan between several people and thus one is stuck with a separate mobile plan for the watch.
... I'm feeling a lot less disappointed about not going to have a LTE version now ... since I wouldn't be able to justify the extra plan. Yet it would have felt good to know the option was there if I wanted it ...
...thus it's a bit annoying having to realize than one lives in a world where some consumer decisions are being made above our heads... like e.g. limited countries where Samsung S7 payed themes are available... although in that case there are workarounds ;)
Would buy if it was $200.
Hugh Mungus Used s2 for you if you have to ask the price ....get a better paying job
Phillip Pugh Not everyone can get a better paying job, dude, but I have plenty of income, it's just that I have an Axon 7, and this watch is only $50 away from that.
Hugh Mungus then get a used watch this is the going price for the latest watch . Where have you been the last two years. The cheapest I watch is the same price and it's butt ugly . You bought a $2 50 phone sooo why are you even looking at a video about a $350 watch...just so you can complain later ..make know since to me . I purchased the gs7 edge that's $800 so the price of the watch to me is where it should be . The problem with a lot of Android users is all the cheap Chinese stuff that floods the market so now you think a every thing should be $200 . Buy a Chinese knock off watch there under $100
Phillip Pugh First off, the Axon 7 is $400, and second, I'm watching because Mr. Mobile makes entertaining reviews and because I find smart watches interesting. Also, if you didn't notice, he said in the review himself it is too expensive. I wouldn't have complained if I thought it was worth it. Also, of course Samsung makes the price fair in accordance with the GS7 - that's the market they're targeting.
jlczl exactly
I saw ur ad on a vid and it's a good method of advertisment and keep up d good work!! I SUBSCRIBE
Liked for that slam on the table :')
Your style of review is unique and I dig it. You've gained a sub.
Now I'm waiting for a ladies edition!!!!
At the briefing a couple folks hit 'em with the "where's the ladies' version?" question and Samsung basically said that people who want a smaller version should buy the S2. Pretty weak.
They were big on quoting sales metrics of previous-gen watches that seemed to indicate they should target S3 more at a male audience -- chicken-and-egg problem if I ever saw one.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] agreed. What the heck?? Oh well.. I'll just have to stick with companies that are interested in providing for the females. We love tech too! ❤️ haha
Yeah I'd wager it's that they used their market research numbers without bothering to consider whether the current image of smartwatches in general (black, heavy, and chunky) puts off a lot of women.
In any case their strategy is to continue selling the S2 beside the S3 as a thinner, budget-friendlier alternative. It's probably still worth the trade-off of not capturing as much of the female demographic to keep their old production line going.
E D G Y
Stephanie Carls get the classic and swap the band for something you desire
I've been waiting for this even missed black Friday.
You deserve auto-likes m8.
After using the watch for half a year I can say it is brilliant can see my self always having a Samsung watch and I have the faces u have have 202 faces now and 3 straps hoping to get more , Running strap, Work and 6th forum strap and also going out strap
Samsung thanks for making the Gear S & Galaxy Note 4! Still at the top of the list for most innovative! I'll be standing by with these products until your company becomes innovative again.
I have this watch since 2017. I bought it for 233€ (280$ i guess). It still manages to be used 3 days between charges, i use it every day at work where i use tools, get dirty, work with chemicals and sometimes it bumps into stuff. But it still works perfectly. Even better: the control ring is scuffed up pretty bad but it prevented the glas from getting scratched. It is in nearly perfect condition. Love this thing.
Love the wireless payment it’s awesome 😍😍😍😍 they need to improve it make it work all the time also water proof long battery and easily play music 🤩🤩
your channel keeps growing 😎
Great video, thanks for sharing. I got the original Samsung watch, the Gear and the I got the Gear 2, but the biggest issue I had was the battery life. I ended up with a Garmin Feix 3HR, and it's been really awesome. Charge it once a week or two. It's thin of smart phone features, but it's a great fit for me.
I got my gear s3 on sale for 152.00 Bluetooth brand new (just the watch) no charger . Sweet as hell deal .. I love this watch LOVE IT!!!
Mahalo Mr Mobile!!
Maui no ka oi!!
Hope you enjoyed Maui! Aloha!!
I don't even care about smart watches. I'm just here to watch Michael's videos.
i"m new user of Gear S3 ...happy to have that watch ....
WOW! Your videos are awesome, you're doing really well!
the best smart watch on this planet absolutely outstanding and beautiful
Lovin' the review like I love my S3 Frontier! That Classic model is so tempting... Might have to get one of those as well. 😁 👍 ⌚
Honestly, I have no idea where you came up with the pricing... I just got it today to upgrade my Gear 2 NEO, which I also was/am in love with. The price for the Frontier as of Jan/28/2017 is: AT&T: $349, $249 with two year commitment at a $10 monthly plan or 20 installments of $17/month. Regardless of the purchase option, the added device to anybodies plan will com with a price tag of $10/month. B&H sells this watch for $249 - No tax + free shipping, however the carriers will charge you $49 for "activation". In any case, the watch is simply stunning and was a good enough reason for me to give up the also very well designed Gear 2 Neo. It connects flawlessly to my car's audio system, just like the phone does and I intentionally left my phone at home... Car conversation - impeccable; call from wrist (in a store), impeccable... Nothing else to ask; will install the browser and I will most likely leave my phone at home most of the time :)
I loved your video, very informative and to the point great review
Phone > Watch > Headphone, that's like a network snake lol it sounds fun btw. And great video buddy, I hope you keep going on and review other Smart watches which nobody heard of like Tickwatch 2
