Just bought my wife this watch, and she loves it. I surprised her with it, after taking her newly bought DZ09 smart watch to T-Mobile to have a SIM card installed, then returning home with the classic gear S3. So you know what that means, a lot of love for me tonight. Seriously though, great review. I'm blown away by this watch.
I had the zenwatch 1, with android wear, and I loved it. Now I have the Gear S3 and it seems that it has lost a lot of the functions. only 2 matter to me. 1. Navigation. with wear all i had to do was say "Navigate home" or Tell it to to navigate to any local business and it would use google maps to take to were i need to go. Tizen, on the other hand, I have to tell the watch the full address. 2. Making and answering call. with Android were I can tell it to make a call and it would call the contact with easy transfer back to phone or automatically with my car bluetooth. With the gear s3, if i make or answer calls on it, i can switch to the phone with ease, however it will not work with my car bluetooth system at all.
Love the review, papa bless! Does the watch display notifications for all messaging apps (hangouts, kakao talk) well or does it mostly just do standard texts well?
This was a first class review. Nice job. I did however see another reviewer who said the watch will link to Strava and post your ride. This can be done without a Strava app.
Sorry for the newbie question. I have a Pebble now and have never owned an Android Wear device. Are you saying that a Tizen watch limits use of full Android Wear functionality? And what if you don't have a Samsung phone (mine is a Nextbit Robin)? Should I steer clear of Tizen?
It's not Android Wear at all, it's a different operating system. It's nicer to use, and works with any Android phone running 4.4 or later with at least 1.5GB RAM. only difference is there aren't as many watch-specific apps, but we don't think that's a deal-breaker for a smart watch.
you can use line, whatsapp, just either uses s voice to type the message, or there is a abc def ghf keyboard to type. or even pre set words like okay, byebye, see you, im busy etc
I've been enjoying my Frontier A TON for the last 2 months but hell man, there are 0 apps for it at all. Waiting for some reverse engineering genius to port AW to it
i got gear s3 and I can confirm android wear is 100 better than that shit. You can't control it with your voice like Android wear does, miss application integration from smartphone and wear. throughout Android wear > Tizen. if you have android wear don't buy Gears s3. you have

Cheers, yeah you can get S Health to sync data with Strava, which is useful.

Great job Cam!

randykite Tizen OS for Smartwatches ist the best OS u can get.

Anyone know what watch face this is? This is simple and exactly what I have been looking for.
Ken Saunders hold on the face you have and swipe you will find it that one was built in so it will be there
I have T-Mobil carrier. Do I need to add a line for this wearable in order to receive and make calls even if I pair it to my phone?
Also can I answer phone calls in Bluetooth mode or does it need a separate sim?
i still dont know which to order( btw i am pretty actuve guy) but i like elegant
I have a question for the Gear s3. How can u use whatsapp on this smartwatch? How works?
Thanks and best wishes from Barcelona

if only they made a 40mm version of the s3 classic, 46mm is too big for me.
