The Gear S3 Frontier is a great-looking smartwatch that truly lets you leave your phone at home.

Rotating bezel looks good and works great; Built-in LTE makes it phone independent; Samsung Pay works at MST terminals

Size will be too big for some wrists; App support lacking; Battery life could be an issue for some users

With the Gear S3 Frontier, Samsung did a commendable job building a wearable with a little something for everyone. The device still falls short in a lot of ways, including its overzealous automatic fitness tracking and a limited app selection, even after a year.

Still has the best smartwatch interface; Excellent performance; Respectable battery life; OLED display is bright and crisp

Not many good Tizen apps; Automatic exercise tracking can be weird; Will be too big for some

Remember last year we did the frozen test on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ? Guess what, we are doing it again with the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier . The Gear S3 has the similiar IP68 water and dust resistance.

Despite the gloomy outlook for smartwatches this year, Korean company Samsung is still cranking out updates to its Tizen-powered smartwatches. The Gear S3 Frontier is the successor to last year's excellent Gear S2, and builds on many of the innovations that its older sibling introduced, like that oh...

The Samsung Gear S3 is the closest you can get right now to an Apple Watch killer. It works well on iOS, comes with a premium feeling, and has all the features you could expect to find on a smartwatch. The Gear S3 Frontier is not super expensive either, and offers undeniable value for the money.

The Gear S3 Frontier is the new top of the range smartwatch from Samsung. Has the Korean tech giant done enough to convince people to get even more connected?

Depending on who you speak to, wearables and in particular smartwatches are a failed category. The pace of fresh launches has slowed down to a trickle and smartwatches just haven't quite caught the market by storm the way they were expected to.

Design; Performance; Battery Life

Limited Apps; Price

I purchased this item in August 2017 from JB I-Fi Perth.After only four months use it would not charge fully and I sent it to Samsung's nominated Service Centre (Roadhound) . It arrived back after two weeks later without its charger dock and power supply cable so is unusable.

Excellent design with the outer ring of the watch face allowing you to navigate through the various watch options and widgets; Clear bright display with a decent battery life although I would still recommend charging as often as possible as using all wireless functions (GPS, Bluetooth etc) would...

A little easy to scratch so care is needed when wearing

The watch does everything i need. I can answer incoming/outgoing calls or texts. I often leave the phone in the car and go into store's i still get messages and calls. The battery lasts 10 hours but i do have samsung health on and the always on interface. As well as the barometer.
