there's a new Samsung gear SmartWatch in town and this is a big one meet the gear s3 does it look like a big bold luxury sports watch that's the idea building on the same concept as last year's clever around gear s2 watch and it's rotating bezel that bezel acts like a giant scroll wheel it dials up apps and widgets and now can answer calls to the gear s3 is considerably larger than the s2 though it's a 46 millimeter watch which even felt big on my hairy wrist on a thinner wrist it looks pretty pretty large the bezel is bigger the cases bigger that's because it does more is a larger 380 milliamp battery promising up to a day more battery life GPS now comes standard and all s3s can make speakerphone calls the LTV equipped s3 frontier can work without a phone and use higher speed data connections Samsung pay comes included but this time there's also MST Samsung's way of making payments at nearly any credit card terminal not just tap to pay it should work in more places than Apple pay or Android pay and the s3 has improved water resistance shock and dust resistance and a more scratch protective gorilla glass screen the s3 has got some music chops too it connects with Spotify to stream over Wi-Fi or LTE and there are a few new apps like nest for thermostat control and ADT personal security for a triple tap SOS call from your wrist mostly the gear s3 and it's two designs classic and frontier are meant to be bigger bolder additions to the line the s2 will still remain on sale which might be samsung's way of saying if you don't like big sporty watches choose something else instead
