Samsung shoots for the moon with Gear S3, but you don't need it all

2017-01-25
how smart do you want your SmartWatch the Samsung gear s 3 is the most feature packed risk gadget around that doesn't mean it's the best like last year's gear s2 the s3 has a clever rotating bezel wheel that lets you find apps the s3 is water and dust resistant has GPS tracks Fitness and heart rate as a speakerphone can make payments anywhere with samsung pay including at normal credit card terminals that aren't tapped to pay enabled and it even as optional LTE to turn into a standalone phone sounds amazing right but the everyday feeling of the gear s3 leans towards the slightly clunky it's really big it looks good on my wrist but it's not for everyone and Samsung's Tizen based software an app store means that its apps supply is pretty limited a new Spotify app is the star streaming over Wi-Fi or LTE but it can't download tracks to the watch gear S three pairs of Android or Samsung phones and even iPhones thanks to a new gear s3 app but on iOS the connection was buggy although it does allow a lot of functions fitness tracking via SL and even a limited selection of app downloads not Spotify though it doesn't come together into a package I found easy to use but if you want bleeding-edge ideas on your wrist gear s3 might be your answer just before warned with Android wear - and new Google watches on the immediate horizon you might want to wait this one out
