I have the Frontier & it is great! I really don't see a need to upgrade to the new Gear based on any of the new features shown here. I actually like the look of the Frontier better than the new version. At the new lower prices I've seen around the web the Frontier is a steal!
Same here. I like my frontier. I skipped the Gear Sport and Galaxy Watch. Hopeful that the the Galaxy Watch two can compete with the ECG/EKG on the Apple watch plus add a blood pressure monitor.
I'm in the market for either the frontier or the regular s3 but confused on which to buy. Which would you recommend? Also, some reviewers claim the frontier is heavy. It's a subjective word but would you consider it heavy compared to a regular chain watch or leather watch? Pls your honest review as a user will be appreciated. Thanks man
@@reektheon8281 I've owned the Frontier for a little over a year. I wear my watch everyday of the week. I take it off at night so I don't sleep with it on. I was in the military for many years & during my service I always wore stainless steel diver style chronos so I personally prefer a bigger watch. I think the watch is perfect in size & weight for my wrist. I have medium wrists so the watch fits me perfectly. As far as the weight of the watch you're absolutely correct...weight is subjective! I don't think the watch is much thicker than any other watch I own so height off my wrist is not an issue for me.; Again, I wear mine everyday and I think it fits & feels perfect. It looks good with all the clothes I wear, whether I'm dressed up or down & is a very masculine watch.
The MST feature of the S# has saved me so many times at places not using NFC. I've surprised many merchants when they say their card reader doesn't take wireless pay. I don't need my wallet or phone. MST is awesome!!
@@Tremonti78I'm heavy user of Samsung Pay, I like the cashier and other people look surprised whenever I use my phone to pay.

It's a shame he didn't do this review 2 months later when the S3 got its 4.*.2 update. I really want an S3 for MST, but I'm trying to see how much of a compromise that would be just for 1 feature..
Not worth the 80$ difference Just get the gear s3 I got the s3 using my Samsung pay points + 60 $ off from black Friday In the end I just paid 100$. Only a true Samsung fan boy knows that you never have to pay full price for any of their products.
Great review. At the time you did this video, this was all true. Now the only real difference is the water resistance level. The S3 is amazing (as would be the Galaxy Watch), I just wouldn't upgrade my S3 until another generation.
My gear S3 classic is running tizen 4002 as of now! I only came to the studio to check if the battery life is better on the galaxy gear. To see if it's worth the upgrade
I've bought a gs3 frontier for the holiday. I'm not a swimmer so I have no use for that Watch ability. On the other hand I frequently make purchases and the lost of MST is the deal breaker for me.
Thank you SHIT! I have been searching high and low for this very statement. So thank you my brother; I will just purchase the classic version bc that's literally the only reason I even want a watch
Excellent review. I have the older Gear S3 Frontier, am I able to keep the watch body and upgrade the motherboard to the newer Galaxy watch. Mother boards are fairly cheap compared to buying a whole new watch. Just curious 🤔. Thank you again for the great review.

Hi. I want to buy gear S3 frontier watch in January 2019, shall i go for it or wait for the new gear watch could be Gear S4 from samsung as i have heard it's going to launch soon. Please suggest....
My gear s3 frontier is running one ui on tyzen 4... smth i recieved the update few days ago and i have been using it with tyzen 4 for couple of months now... not sure how yours is running 3.0.0 2
The biggest thing S3 frontier has going for it is MST. You can use Samsung pay everywhere. I've experienced plenty of places that don't have Nfc yet with older terminals especially gas stations. Mst was the one thing Samsung had that no one else did, imo.
Does anyone know which watch face he has on his Gear S3 Frontier? I looked at the oxygen II but i didnt find match. Thanks all..BTW..im keeping my Gear S3 Frontier
I have 3 watches. They are : 1) Samsung gear s2 classic. 2) Samsung gear s3 frontier. 3) Samsung active. Big question! Can I connect all these 3 smart watches with 1 smart phone?
I didn't hear you cover the fact that the Galaxy Watch lost the MST functionality. That's a fairly large difference. Much of what you covered is a difference in the version of Tizen as opposed to the watches themselves.
For the Bluetooth version, you need to have your phone with you AND have it connected through bluetooth to receive or make calls, but, you can also do the non-bluetooth version and get a line for the watch which will set you back $15 every month. I honestly prefer to get the bluetooth, since getting the the for a watch is useless and a waste of money if you have your phone on you at all times.
I am currently looking to buy my first smart watch. I was able to order an s2 classic for 99.99 CAD but they have the s3 frontier for 299.99 CAD or a galaxy watch 46mm for 459.99 is it better to just get the S2 classic? With the money savings, or is it night and day to get the more expensive ones? Which would you guys suggest. Thanks :) key things I want, quality, battery life, water resistance (at least for shower or being on the rain)
@stephen robinson ya I got the S2 classic and returned the next day. When I saw it go from 100% to 80% in an hour without me even touching it.. Nope. Lol. I'll check the galaxy watch instead, thnx for the info
@stephen robinson yep it was an open box from Bestbuy, I figure maybe it was just a defect, but really 20% 1 hour, just Bluetooth connected, didn't even touch the screen
Idk, I love the galaxy watch design but everyone in the comment section says it's not worth it in comparison. This would be my first smart watch so I'll be safe and just get gear s3 and hopefully their next smart watch they hit the mark or galaxy watch is updated to par where it should be.
Thanks for the great review sir. I went swimming with my s3 frontier on and the watch is now past tense. So i am considering wether to get the frontier again or the gw. U helped a lot. So thanks
Nice video. I update my phone every year, on Note9 now. I've had the Gear S3 Frontier since release but I honestly can't find a reason to update the watch. It does everything I need it to do. Got a new battery installed a few months ago as I felt it was draining a bit faster. My hobby is mountaineering so water resistance is enough for me. It's a very nice watch for someone upgrading from Gear S2 or older but not the Frontier in my opinion. My wife has the Gear Sport, she got it free with her S9 plus, she's getting 4 days+ from it, probably because it lacks the ability to make calls. She's a swimmer so it suits her.
@@PhillyDjHook Not true at all. My water resistance is still there according to Samsung Service. There is no glue holding the watch together. It has a sleeve sealing design with a replaceable rubber gasket similar to what we use on the industrial pumping systems we design. Samsung change the gasket along with the battery. I cannot speak for third party battery changes and whether they do that or not. But.....learn your facts before opening your mouth and putting your foot in it. 😉
@@TheTreb68 Hi there. We're lucky in that we have a lot of Samsung Service centres where I live, the nearest one to me is a 20 minute walk in Istanbul. As there is a legal 2 year guarantee enforced by law here, and the integrated battery is covered, I got it replaced for free as it was just under 2 years and didn't have to pay for shipping as they did it while I waited. It's going great by the way, fantastic battery life again.
Hello guys my gear s3 frontier after the last update, stopped working the heart rate meter, wake up gesture, step counter, basically the sensors are not working, how to solve?
You can save money with s3 frontier. Orbcan have the latest not much changed . Since its your first go with the latest. Not much difference though. Battery life is key.
@@invistocomvoce well when i was watching this video. The part he talks about the software version . I was curious to see what i had and to my surprise mine is running 4.0.0.2 not the 3.0 he was talking about. Which is why im sure its not muchbof. A difference. I would buy the new if i was in the market,but thats just me. If i want to save money then i dont see any difference at all. Looks likebours can fo the same except water and the processor.
@@invistocomvoce i hope not. If you got the cash id buy the new one. I like mine enough that the new one doesn't have enough features to justify an upgrade.i hope they support this watch for a very long time. I mean for what we paid for. I think it deserves to be supported for a while.
Hmmm... I've owned my frontier since the beginning (2016) and have been swimming paddle boarding and put it through hell.. it's military specs come out.. and the pay function is awesome.. works literally everywhere
I am seriously considering upgrading from Gear S3 frontier only because my partners Gear sport watch battery is having issues keeping a charge for more than 24 hours and giving him have the S3 and i get the Samsung gear and he would use the bluetooth connection and i just switch the account/phone number to new watch.Ive never went swimming with gear s3 on but ive definitely had it in water many times with no issues

Got a new battery installed a few months ago as I felt it was draining a bit faster. My hobby is mountaineering so water resistance is enough for me. It's a very nice watch for someone upgrading from Gear S2 or older but not the Frontier in my opinion. My wife has the Gear Sport, she got it free with her S9 plus, she's getting 4 days+ from it, probably because it lacks the ability to make calls. She's a swimmer so it suits her.
Once you got a new battery your watch is no longer water resistant
@@PhillyDjHook Not true at all. My water resistance is still there according to Samsung Service. There is no glue holding the watch together. It has a sleeve sealing design with a replaceable rubber gasket similar to what we use on the industrial pumping systems we design. Samsung change the gasket along with the battery. I cannot speak for third party battery changes and whether they do that or not. But.....learn your facts before opening your mouth and putting your foot in it. 😉
@@brianmsahin How did they change it? Did you have to send the watch and how much was the total cost including the shipping?
@@TheTreb68 Hi there. We're lucky in that we have a lot of Samsung Service centres where I live, the nearest one to me is a 20 minute walk in Istanbul. As there is a legal 2 year guarantee enforced by law here, and the integrated battery is covered, I got it replaced for free as it was just under 2 years and didn't have to pay for shipping as they did it while I waited. It's going great by the way, fantastic battery life again.
Hello guys my gear s3 frontier after the last update, stopped working the heart rate meter, wake up gesture, step counter, basically the sensors are not working, how to solve?
No problem swimming in pool with Frontier.
Told u that....1.5m.....go deeper.....will talk after
Guys, which one do you recommend for a guy that is buying his first smartwatch? Go direct to galaxy watch or go with the gear S3?
You can save money with s3 frontier. Orbcan have the latest not much changed . Since its your first go with the latest. Not much difference though. Battery life is key.
@@josealejos11 Thank you! Do you know how much time will gear s3 receive software updates?
@@invistocomvoce well when i was watching this video. The part he talks about the software version . I was curious to see what i had and to my surprise mine is running 4.0.0.2 not the 3.0 he was talking about. Which is why im sure its not muchbof. A difference. I would buy the new if i was in the market,but thats just me. If i want to save money then i dont see any difference at all. Looks likebours can fo the same except water and the processor.
@@josealejos11 I get It... Do you think they will stop supporting it soon?
@@invistocomvoce i hope not. If you got the cash id buy the new one. I like mine enough that the new one doesn't have enough features to justify an upgrade.i hope they support this watch for a very long time. I mean for what we paid for. I think it deserves to be supported for a while.
Really helpful in such short timing. Thanks.
Should I buy Samsung galaxy watch active 2 or galaxy watch 46mm??? 🤔
Buy 46mm
Bring a comparison between Samsung galaxy watch active 2 vs galaxy watch 46mm
Can you charge both with the same charger?
Yes
@@digitaladventures Thank you.
what is the size of galaxy watch in this video ? 42 or 46mm ?
46
What a great review, thank you.
Share link of frontier watch face
I still didn’t get new update I am stuck on tizen 2 and I try to check update from my galaxy wearable app
check on XDA how to update manually with wifi odin
How TF are you getting 4 days of battery life? Is it in power saver mode the whole time? Mine lasts about a day.
Hmmm... I've owned my frontier since the beginning (2016) and have been swimming paddle boarding and put it through hell.. it's military specs come out.. and the pay function is awesome.. works literally everywhere
Seems they downgraded their new wstch.. I will stick to the frontier
which of the two is better??
I can swim with gears s3 since a year, I still don't find jumping rope exercise in gear s4 which is also missing in s3
Does this watch support my Samsung A30
just now I bought galaxy watch 46mm and its very very beautiful and good future
Bro thank you for the very clear info🙏
I am seriously considering upgrading from Gear S3 frontier only because my partners Gear sport watch battery is having issues keeping a charge for more than 24 hours and giving him have the S3 and i get the Samsung gear and he would use the bluetooth connection and i just switch the account/phone number to new watch.Ive never went swimming with gear s3 on but ive definitely had it in water many times with no issues
should i buy frontier s3 or galaxy watches? ..
Galaxy watch
S3 if you want to save money. You can get them cheap on the secondary market.
