Had the frontier for a couple of months now and I still love it. Swapped the band out for a stainless steel option and it looks great. I too have the problem with the loose bezel, I contacted Samsung and they said it shouldnt be loose so I am getting a replacement. I'm getting 2-3 days use out of the battery but it only takes 2 hours to fully charge. The phone feature is great, ideal in the UK as a hands free whilst driving. Speaker is loud and clear and the mic is superb according to people on the other end.
I felt the slight looseness in my Gear Frontier version, but I had read the online manual before buying it and it states the bezel is very slightly loose purposefully to allow for friction free turning. If it was tight it would cause friction and wear plus water trapped under would stay there and possibly cause corrosion. So there's nothing wrong with the watch.
My S3 battery last for a few days with always on. Its a little after midnight and a full day of use with some gym time using spotify and im still at 58%. Im very impressed!
Really great review Darius! Your videos can keep up with the one's from well known TH-camrs. For a German (me being one myself), your English is pretty good. Keep it up!
Thanks for your review! Have you heard of modality? It is the perfect enhancement for the Samsung Gear S3. It is a texting app that is word based instead of a letter based system to allow for texting speed and ease. It truly makes it the best watch out there.
You think you look ridiculous talking to your watch? And you think it is normal that people talk with their hand on their ear. Now when you think on that, that is ridiculous and silly to look at. I see lots of people holding their phone in front of them and talk to it, the same way, no one thinks THAT looks silly? People are kinda stupid when it comes to new things, it takes a while for them to get used to it. I have a Gear 2 since 2013, and with that I could answer the phone also. Great for use in the car when you cant take your hands of the wheel.
Where can we see a list of apps BEFORE purchasing? I'm looking at the S3 on a promo from AT&T. They have it for $45 plus two years of service ($10/month), so the end cost of $285 is still cheaper than buying it outright. I think I'm going to get it to go with my pre-ordered Galaxy S8. I'll be leading edge tech guy! :) My wrists aren't huge, but I tried it on today at the AT&T Store and it looked OK.
I like all the varied comments. Good going guys! I guess I get a bit nervous about a product when it does not do all the things I want. The Samsung smart phones are good fun, show well and seem to be robust. All the owners like their watch, so that's great. For me, it is too big, too thick and the apps are not as refined as Apple Watch ones. But then. . . Apple is more expensive, so I bought mine pre-loved - sorry, I meant to say used ! It is all in the research before you buy in. I've got friends with both Apple and Samsung (and none). They're still my friends.
Ive been researching the gear s3 for the past 2 weeks. I decided tonight to search for a review after someone had had it for a while, and I see this one was uploaded 10 hours ago. Weird
MrGatlin98 dont trust this review at all I've had the watch the Frontier for about 2 months and it has been a cool companion honestly this guy did no justice for the amount of tech thats in this watch
Yeah I went ahead and bought one because I just couldn't resist. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and it has been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made, there are so many features I keep coming back to.
MrGatlin98 hi. I'm getting the frontier for my birthday in a week and I would really like to know how accurate the GPS is on S Health. I'd be grateful if you responded :)
Hey Darius, I just wanted to thank you for all your content! I really dig the creative intros and your calm voice makes me want to watch another video even if im not interested in the tech. Thanks for helping me to choose between the different smartwatches. I was a big fan of the gear s3, but actually seeing how big it would be on my small wrist made me change my mind. Thanks alot and I hope you are able to crack the 20k subs soon. Best wishes from Köpenick :)
i just brought the frontier and yes , the ring is slightly lose . i heard some people said about that. but for me , i wouldnt mind. the only thing is lack of apps support. i thought i could use whatsapp , fb , insta , google maps etc but sadly all i can do is just get notifications. i wanted more than just this $350 masterpiece.
had one for about a month now (frontier). Yes, it is large BUT i have large wrists. I HATE the silicon band. Bought a ceramic band from ebay from kr-net2 AUD$41, very very good. i use it to replace a pebble time. very smooth OS and really good value. I would buy another again.... on average getting 3 days from a charge.
Had this watch for a week and returned it. You can only read the last message sent to you if there's more than one message. Samsung fucked this up with freaking Tizen, why the hell would one put tizen in a watch when their own phone is using Android. With that said, it looks really good and I swapped the rubber band with a stainless steel black wristband. I've ordered the Ticwatch E for halv the price
they mention 768 mb ram and 4 gb rom why is that 768 divide by 8 = 96MB and 4gb divide by 8 is 512 MB they should mention 1 gb ram and 4 gb rom or 768 mb ram and 4096 mb rom
Has the battery life decreased significantly after 3 months or did was that patched because i recently bought a frontier but read alot online about that problem
I just bought the new and expensive Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. But HOW ON EARTH CAN I NOT CONNECT MY GEAR S3 WITH MY GALAXY TAB S2????? THESE ARE SAMSUNG's FLAGSHIP PRODUCTS FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!!! I SPEND PLENTY OF HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE. SAMSUNG, SOLUTION PLEASE!! Don't just give us the usual reply "we're sorry.." nonsense. Do something!! Upgrade your SamsungGear app!
i feel like i know a lot about the watch now, thanks to this video... (I'm being sarcastic, didn't learn a damn thing.. now off to try to find an actual review)
This is definitely an initial review not a 3 month re-review/update..

Hello. Where did you purchase your Stainless Steel band?
Nate The Great I got a V-moro band... Matches the finish of the frontier perfectly.
can you please explain how to view images from message like what's up app?
Unfortunately you can't view images, it opens them up on your phone
How is samsung pay in the UK, I only see videos of it in the US
talking to a watch makes you look like secret agent or power ranger in civilian mode though :-D

Good video but looks like a "initial review" than 3 months later.
Really great review Darius!

The video, the set up is so cool..the way you arrange stuffs around to fit in the frame!
So glad I can knock on it and toss it on the carpet. I wasn't sure how that would hold up. I will buy mine right away now! 10/10
The details and the graphics are outstanding...... great work dude

Grizzly HP2 I
yeah like tapping it with your hands and dropping it on carpet is going to damage it... come on!
3 months later.. What do you think? You make a video that reviews the watch. Nice
You killed that intro! Keep it up!

I have just got my S3 Classic. I love it, but sometimes the sleep tracking data does not seem to show on my S7 edge (on S Health).
Great intro & overall presentation!
Better than the Apple Watch.
Mega Martex What the fuck was the point of that?
Mega Martex agreed lmao
The point is Apple watch's are fugly
And apple sucks
They need to make a Gear S3 mini for small hands, with a small face, something elegant for the ladies
I really want to get it but my wrist is way smaller than yours 😂 do they sell s2 watch's?
Roberto Lopez they do sell the S2, but you will lose some features on the S2
great review👍
i am going to buy gear s3
What's the main difference between the S2and S3 you keep mentioning?
I like all the varied comments. Good going guys! I guess I get a bit nervous about a product when it does not do all the things I want. The Samsung smart phones are good fun, show well and seem to be robust. All the owners like their watch, so that's great.

It is all in the research before you buy in. I've got friends with both Apple and Samsung (and none). They're still my friends.
Finally, I review with the Classic!
Just a heads up do NOT use any other wireless charger with this watch. You will get a warning from the watch and overheating issues will happen.
What is The size on your wrist?
Can you listen to music with the speakers ?
what the back of the frontier called cause I broke the glass.
I disagree, the size actually makes it look more premium. Swiss watches, like iwc, are oversized which give them a more prelium bulk-look
the watch is big or your hands are small??
When was the review?
bezel got scratches easily
how come your not got scratches??
I Just need to know one thing, can you use Whatsapp on the gear s3?
it uses Tizen os and not Andriod so Google voice is a no, yes would be great but again it's a different OS.
Können Sie empfehlen Medikamente für Furz und Durchfall?
What face watch is that?
does it explode?
excellent content. Sleeper channel right here

Pojonator Its accurate for running but pinpoint accuracy is not achieved.
1st time.....intro a little long, I liked everything you said. Presentation near perfect. Keep up the good work. I subscribed. Cheers!
Good review, honest opinion!

How many mm is your wrist?
Forgot pin. Help?

Nice video, cool intro. Well done.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
That was actually a really cool intro
I get 2 days use with always on display on
Great review, unfortunately this Watch does not support android wear, with all those features, and highly price I have to think about it.
Lol you posted this on my 21st birthday!
What's with the intro?
All the bezels have the little rattle and it's normal..
*Throws watch on floor* "yeah the bezels a bit loose"..
Are you Portuguese? I saw the time said Lisbon soo, were you in Lisbon? xD
1:05 Lol, "one in S and one in L" :P
great vid though
this guy sounds like Ricegum😂
you are very good man.. good job!
Do you know that your name is after one the most greatest Persian Empire kings, Dariush?
What's LTE?
cyber apple long term evolution
LTE is the one you'll need a plan for.

thank you
Thanks for your video!
I like these "after the buzz"-videos :-)
I went for the Gear S2
they mention 768 mb ram and 4 gb rom why is that
768 divide by 8 = 96MB and 4gb divide by 8 is 512 MB
they should mention 1 gb ram and 4 gb rom or 768 mb ram and 4096 mb rom
It's too big I would go for the gear 2 for half the price
Mark o 9
I have the frontier
Has the battery life decreased significantly after 3 months or did was that patched because i recently bought a frontier but read alot online about that problem
My bezel is lose to
tizen is shit i really hate it. They should stick with android. Apps are limited cause of that shitty OS
wow.. really a great video... I loved your presentation.... thumbs up...... * * * * *
I just bought the new and expensive Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. But HOW ON EARTH CAN I NOT CONNECT MY GEAR S3 WITH MY GALAXY TAB S2?????

Assaf Imanuel you cant connect to tablets
Abdul-Rahmaan Qureshi on android wear you can connect to tablets
well this one works on "tizen"
I stopped wearing mine within a month.
Why? I just ordered one! Now I'm panicked a bit!
Intro too long
‼️BUSINESS DEAL‼️
Hey Darius would you be interested in doing a paid promotion on TH-cam for a tech product?
Frontier >>>>
Just bought it for Omani Rial 95/-
Don't bite your fingernails dude
noice
throws it on carpet... lol. wtf
hated that watch. money money money.
first
Brusli
Way too oversized. Looks ridiculous
You have very girly wrists :/
not worth the money!
440hp more than worth the money
this watch wasn't meant for kids ... ask your mom to buy you a smaller one from Disney store.
Enigma ___ hater
i feel like i know a lot about the watch now, thanks to this video... (I'm being sarcastic, didn't learn a damn thing.. now off to try to find an actual review)
