Samsung Gear S3, where…

I have been testing SmartWatches for about the last year. This all started with me wanting to track my fitness and ended up evolving from a simple Fitbit to now this Samsung Gear S3. The other smart watches that I have tried are a Polar and also an earlier version of the Samsung Gear Watch s model. I was not impressed at all with the earlier s model but when I received this S3 in the mail I could tell that Samsung had taken their time and made some quality improvements on this watch. From the moment you take this watch out of the box you can tell it is a finely crafted piece of art. It's not big or clumpy and doesn't demand attention. It is clean and classy but yet rugged enough to withstand a day at work. It was easy to set up and I did so in minutes by connecting the gear app on my Galaxy S7 phone to the watch. I really love the dial that you can scroll through different options. The S3 is very intuitive and without even asking it to it begins to record you working out so no more standing at the starting line and fumbling with your watch while you're trying to get ready to race. Watch automatically detects when workout starts and does a fairly good job detecting when the workouts end. It's not 100% accurate as that goes but I guess it is measuring activity still. I like the fact that there are multiple watch faces that I can use and depending on my mood or the style that I am into for that day I can change my watch to reflect that. There are minimal buttons on this wash which is nice. I have been complimented many times when people see the watch and the different functions that it is able to do. I have also tested the watch regarding call Quality while I am driving. I had my hands on the wheel and was able to have a normal conversation with a friend of mine on multiple occasions and he was able to hear me just fine and I was able to hear him just fine all while not fumbling with a phone and risking an accident while driving on the highway or in town. That was one of the biggest noticeable improvements to me because on the other Galaxy Gear watch that I had the call Quality was terrible. You had to put the watch up to your ear in order to hear anything. The heart rate monitor and the other functions seem to work well. I am still figuring out some functions regarding that to be able to see stats during a workout. Overall I give this 4 stars because they have made some really good improvements but I believe there is room to grow yet. Nicely done!
