what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today it's an exclusive one we are taking a first look at the new gear s3 it now comes in two different models we've got the classic over here as well as the frontier the classic is a little more elegant and you got the leather strap the frontier that one that's the one that speaks to me personally it's a little bit more rugged like I am you guys know that this one looks at home on there it's not too dainty also want to mention about the straps there are different sizes and they are interchangeable I've got the large installed on both you get a small and medium as well so regardless of your wrist size you should be covered you can see here there's a number of watch faces to choose from and some of them can even be stylized you can go with an orange maybe a red now navigation the fact that you can navigate the watch using the bezel the reason I think that's important is because on a watch you're dealing with a smaller touchscreen right smaller than your phone but you don't want to go to your phone to do all your various functions either does that kind of defeats the purpose of the watch you use the bezel and as you'll see it's a very fluid kind of interface the first thing here is notifications communication what if you get a message it's gonna ping you and you can go in there and actually interact with it right here so there we go we've got a message from Jack here I can open it up he says what's up then I can respond to him right on the watch if you click on the emoji icon up here of course you've got all the classics in here happy sad mad one of my favorites you know the flame Jack really likes to receive pictures of himself so we're gonna send this back to him boom right in the thread my very own portrait of Jack but what about phone calls oh here we go you can hear it's a phone call from Jack and you can actually spin the wheel here and answer the call that way hello Jack isn't is that you Jack just like comic books you can answer your phone on your watch not an improvement on these two guys from the s2 is battery life we're looking at three to four days of battery life on a single charge now that's important when it does come to charging these up you're going to use this little tiny dock over here I'll show it to you now this has a magnetic back to it so you just kind of drop the watch on finds the right spot so once you have the little dock plugged in you get the LED illuminated and you also get a kind of cool green bar which identifies just how much of a charge you actually have it acts as a cool little bedside clock there's also a find my phone feature so if your phone is like jammed down behind the couch cushion or something like that click that button it'll buzz you can track it down a big concern for people is what what's it gonna do from a health perspective from a fitness perspective so this one has a number of different features built in through s health you can see here you can check how many calories you've burned a number of steps you've taken and one of the more interesting features to me is an active heart rate monitor see the heart pumping there it's trying to get an accurate reading 75 bpm I'm within average right now this becomes more interesting when you're actually doing a workout feel like a doctor on your built-in dedicated GPS has the ability to track your exact location and then send your whereabouts to selected individuals both the frontier and the classic feature ip68 certification if you haven't heard of that before that means there's going to be water resistance as well as dust resistance but it's one thing to say it another thing to show it so we're going to do the dunk test action that's the shot right there so there you have it gear s3 the frontier as well as the classic completely different look from last year it's a lot more in line with my style especially with the frontier version over here just it looks like it belongs there
