I purchased the Frontier and got ZERO complaints. I got a metal band and a rubberized band for workouts as well.

[@bigdrews4360]

Kevin Campbell did u got to the store and get it or order online?

[@kirkland_Reid]

Kevin Campbell how well does it work with a 6p?

[@marwangobah]

Kevin Campbell got one from amazon. I haven't received my watch but my band came.

[@Dj_rueboi]

the classic is so dope I had to get it

[@donniealexander993]

Excellent review!!! It's pandemic 2020 and I'm still rockin' my Gear S3 Frontier!! Can't go wrong with this one.

[@ocdetails]

Great review. I love your enthusiasm. I just went from the S2 to the S3 as well and am very happy with the frontier. I thought there was a ton more real estate on the face too, but then I found out it is only .1 inches larger than the S2 classic. It just looks so much bigger with that larger case and larger bezel on it. And regardless of what people think about the strap on the Frontier, it doesn't matter. It is easily changed with any 22mm strap, so whatever you have will work on it. I swap out between the black silicone and a dark blue silicone and a dark brown leather strap all the time. This watch is going to save me a crap ton of money on watches going forward. It is going to be really hard to pick up one of my other watches to wear instead of this one. I'm really loving it.

[@matshiob]

I left a like because I enjoyed! Nice and clear video man and I appreciate your honesty lol

[@desidarlingly]

This is the best review for this I have seen so far. Thank you, I will go with the Classic for my mom with a third party band

[@YoEarn]

Gear S3 Classic. Imma classic man.

[@samsoboss88]

As soon as you said "are you kidding me!?" I was convinced

[@srbell67]

Sam F me too

[@johngardner869]

I ordered the frontier last week and love it. Iv just ordered the classic yesterday I love the look of that too

[@TechGamestips]

John Gardner rich xD

[@johngardner869]

***** I kind of agree, it stands out more for sure. Wearing the classic tonight and it's classy. I see what your saying though

[@johnodonnell1222]

I cant even afford one

[@xavierrobinson200]

People still look at me crazy when I use Samsung pay. And then I found out you could hold the device close to the chip reader so it really works everywhere

[@poppyshoessp]

Xavier Robinson I want to use Samsung pay, but I am terrified of that feature.

[@xavierrobinson200]

poppyshoessp Why?

[@AyaanKhan-pi8ui]

poppyshoessp y ?

[@AyaanKhan-pi8ui]

do you have to download a feature to do that

[@ListenToJulian]

+Ayaan Khan Samsung Pay is built in. Just hold the back button. If it doesn't work just go to the Galaxy Apps store & search for it

[@RB-pl5pg]

That bezel is so sweet. Samsungs team sat and decided to go all out with detail for this model. also bringing in another 30 year veteran watch designer Ivan Arpa in the mix. The detail design, materials with Samsung technology is perfect. So many features on this watch. I don't understand how proud Sy this is expensive for what you are getting. Other companies would be charging an arm and a leg if they can make a watch like this. The speaker on that watch....what a bonus.

[@antokhorneshart9678]

Great work comparing the both watches, side by side . Very useful dude I thank you!

[@kiwikozo]

The wider band from the frontier makes the classic look so much better! I like the look of the classic more - when it has a wider band where the strap meets the watch (with the frontier rubber band like you demonstrated).

[@Musicluv73]

that new Bezel makes it so easy to text now

[@ListenToJulian]

+Musicluv73 I know right. It's waaaaaaayy better

[@OLJackson]

It's 46mm on the S3 Frontier. Same with the Classic S3

[@Blu6088]

O. Jackson-Ali thank you

[@Ruddigore]

I have been agonising this past week on whether I should go for the Frontier or the Classic... Your side by side comparison and your enthusiasm has made the job easy.... I'm just off to order the Frontier S3.. Thanks for the very informative video.

[@ChristianVillarreal-KingPong]

Great video showing great practical features, loved the reminders too! Thanks for showing how easy it is to swap bands. Definitely going with the Frontier. Thanks a ton man!

[@dankarino]

will be getting the frontier for my birthday thanks for the comparison man now i know which one i want :)

[@KyKash101]

I'm just so sad that they didn't make a smaller variance of this watch! lol I'm 5'2 and this will look like a CD on my wrist :( oh well, lol I'm just so jealous

[@crazygone5107]

Kyla, get the s2 classic. It's perfectly sized.

[@KyKash101]

Greg Gibson I know. I know. I just wanted the calling feature and the shiny new toy. But, oh well, you're right.

[@lincoln132003]

Kyla Riley my girlfriend has the classic, she has no issue with size she luvs her smart watch, it's nice she has a pink watch face on it, girls are always commenting how nice it looks.

[@KyKash101]

I have the s2 classic and the s2 "sport" it's cool but I want the new one...

[@Phenom-rl5pr]

Kyla Riley lmao, I died when I read your CD joke...😂🤣😂🤣

[@valerie80yearsago90]

"These are for the minimalistic person. Not myself, I'm extra." no idea why, but I laughed out loud at this lol. Loved the review man, thank you. Very concise and fun to listen to.

[@biggdangelo6980]

Good video bro. I just picked up the S3 Frontier and I absolutely love it. I traded up my S2 classic for this wonderful watch.

[@ListenToJulian]

+Mycal Chan this watch is faaaaaaaaaaar better than the S2. The screen size alone makes it a better watch. Not to mention the texting, battery & overall smoothness.

[@gcasillas1213]

Mycal Chan You traded in your Gear S2? Where? I'm thinking of doing the same.

[@biggdangelo6980]

gcasillas1213 I bought the warranty plan for the gear s2 at Best Buy and simply brought the s2 back.

[@zachh6868]

the flexibility gets better after a couple days, I don't even remember the band being a problem, so I'm sure it goes away fast

[@prashantmahesvara3564]

Thanks for this review. It helped me a lot, but I still can't decide which one I want :)

[@TheCambra]

I got the frontier but mine super laggy like when going into text messages it takes forever to go into it. Also are the screen sizes the same on the classic and the frontier

[@danielesposito5818]

tyvm for this, I am heading in to buy one today and the verizon guys know nothing about them yet, so appreciate all the great information

[@georgelustrea2912]

Thank you for the best review on these warches, especially the frontier.. I just bought one and I feel great after seeing your review..Thanks again.....

[@elraymy]

Love your tenacity! this video I will recommend to family and friends so they can also get PUMPED up about getting this watch!

[@jvee223]

Great vid! Was skeptical at frist about the frontiers capability but your vid cleared that up. Thank you.

[@lamoursony]

dope bro keep going I'm waiting for the full review

[@ListenToJulian]

+Sony Lamour thanks my g. Stay tuned!

[@Daevi1]

Awesome review! I'm picking up a gear s3 tomorrow and I was having trouble deciding classic or frontier, this video helped a lot

[@BodziuM]

bezel is also kinda interchangeable and classic with frontier bezel looks amazing

[@markososo1661]

I like the excitement in your voice! Thanks a lot!

[@raffeal247]

I'm with T-Mobile and just realized that I can get the Frontier so I'm grabbing one today!

[@poppyshoessp]

raffeal247 👍

[@marwangobah]

raffeal247 only issue with tmobile is the updates man they tend to take their time.

[@raffeal247]

Very true... it is what it is though.

[@raffeal247]

Just picked up the Gear S3 yesterday. It is everything I hoped it would be. Works flawlessly with my ZTE ZMax Pro. Any one looking for a used unlocked Gear S for cheap, let me know! lol

[@irrelevanthero7410]

I love how into this watch you are. You've got me pumped about it man. Lol. Great video.

[@thunderup823]

You sound like the most chill guy ever. Awesome videos

[@ElytheriaLuna]

Thank you, I've been looking for a comparison

[@ENash699]

Everyone seems to like the frontier more but I had to get the classic. I don't care much for the numbers printed around the face and the compass looking lines on the frontier. Looks more outdoors like and the classic looks professional or as the name suggests, classy. I didn't watch many reviews before buying my watch so I didn't know the straps would be different but I was happy the classic came with genuine leather. I still gotta get some more straps including a metal one but I love leather, and I definitely prefer that out of the box

[@johnnytrongaming]

had the gear s2 loved it, kinda buggy at times but still funtional and the size was small for someone with bigger wrists. now i just bought the gear s3 frontier and love everything about it battery life, screen, bezel, design, and software are all great. Imho the frontier looks 100x better than the classic which is why i purchased the frontier.

[@Kevin-ck6bu]

I'm going to get a new band for that s3 classic

[@ListenToJulian]

+Kevin Stevenson watch Samsung end up making a black or gold version real soon. If they had a black classic I'd probably reconsider my choice

[@yahyakebbe1205]

Awesome review bro. Diggin that metal band on the S2 classic

[@1302lfgh]

Yahya Kebbe ñklo00 )

[@keithurbowicz620]

dude, this is awesome thank you. You're hilarious too. I know this watch is old but it's still the best one on the markett in my mind even opposed to the newer galaxy watch. Gonna buy it today.

[@minibikemorgan4992]

I just bought the S3 classic a few days ago and I thought the same thing about the leather band but what you have to remember is leather has to be broken in and once it's broken in that leather is really nice and soft. it's kind of like leather shoes you have to wear them for a bit to get comfortable

[@ListenToJulian]

+Dragonite Disciple didn't even think about that. I guess I was mainly comparing it to the gear s2 classics leather band as it felt much better coming out the box. Plus I couldn't wait to put a metal band on it 🔗! Good comment! Thanks for the insight

[@minibikemorgan4992]

No problem. I just came across your channel I'll definitely be subscribing

[@mcharlton67]

I'm going to get a metal band for the s3 classic

[@ListenToJulian]

+MarkC538 got to. That leather band ain't cutting it

[@evo_requis_291]

I'm thinking about doing the same thing, I saw pictures of it, looks really nice.

[@jpi1455]

great comparison! Thank you!

[@wwingnuts9026]

could I leave the watch on for a full day and night without charging, and get a days worth of charge in 30 - 40 minutes the next morning? good review man

[@cmj20002]

I guess I have the Frontier, didn't know they had a classic. I just like the Frontier model so that is what I purchased. It does have a speaker for sure as it talked to me the other day and it startled me, I didn't expect that.

[@xT1MOTHYx]

It does work with the iPhone. I'm using my frontier with the 7plus.

[@therealventures]

It looks Sick! Im probably gonna go for the s2 since its $249 rn.

[@therealventures]

batgamerman #teamBatman Ah cool thanks.

[@joelthomas7165]

LeaksSoReal same i ordered mine and I'm getting it Wednesday. So excited!

[@edgarbenitez5407]

LeaksSoReal hopefully you waited, the s3 is 280 now lol

[@slavaterzeman5207]

Looking forward to s2!

[@kfirlevy7635]

Hey man I love your excitement keep up with the good videos

[@hartlez1947]

By far the best info on comparison ty

[@fisor]

Nice comparison video! I wonder if the watch will work without installing Samsung app(s) on the cell phone.

[@poppyshoessp]

Ordered Frontier. Bring on the full review, this is my first smart watch. I need the details. LOVE that friend exercise feature. I used it on my Fit2. Now, if they would release the next phone with color matching ear buds and charger. I know...I'm petty, but I have a lot of those white cords. Make it match the phone please.

[@ListenToJulian]

+poppyshoessp watup poppy! it's coming soon, I'm still pretty much borrowing this watch because I can't find it in stock anywhere. I feel you on the buds & cords tip. Who knows, maybe they'll hear you out on the next release.

[@poppyshoessp]

ListenToJulian Mine was just put on back order!! I'm soo mad!😭😭 We were the 3%. It can happen.

[@raf8474]

Great preview man, much better than that Flossy guy. He came out with a video and didn't even check his facts half of what he said was wrong. Keep up the good work man you're gonna be big .

[@OvPdTurtle]

I've been looking at the specs for these and every website says something different. Thank you for getting things right

[@jamescurnick1637]

Thanks, I'm getting a frontier, great video 👍

[@stephaniemcfadden4902]

Man why can't the frontier have the round knobs instead of the buttons, it looks more of a classic than the classic the only thing throwing it off is those buttons

[@mashudarif4967]

I likee the way you explained it

[@VaupellGaming]

Nice showcase/comparison. Don't really care about the old versions no need to bring them in. ;) I'm glad they added a bit more WEIGHT into them, i really hate those "ultra-light weight" watches. I want them big and with some weight. I'm just not sure to get classic or the frontier.

[@cherrug76]

:-) Nice emotional review! How long does it carry on the battery?

[@huntrrams]

great review! but have questions: how heavy is it? does it have Spotify now?

[@ListenToJulian]

+moviemagic not yet

[@carzoparazzo9698]

It has now

[@sexytina3659]

I've had my Frontier for 2 days and I 💘 it even though it's Big on my little wrist. I'm trying to deal. The Classic looks smaller but if it don't have LTE what's the Point.

[@ericliberty1776]

Not sure if I should go with Frontier. Does Samsung have straps to make it look professional?

[@ListenToJulian]

+eric golden usually any time you put a metal or leather band on a watch it looks far than a rubber band. & Any 22 mm band is compatible so you can buy them anywhere

[@ericliberty1776]

ListenToJulian I love the watch so far I just hope it can play music down the line on the watch

[@ListenToJulian]

+eric golden you should be able to easily send photos & music trough the Samsung Gear app

[@OLJackson]

The Frontier is what I'll rock from casual to formal

[@kamenidriss]

im getting the frontier too but what if I need to dress up a bit? change the bands to leather? what do you think?

[@ListenToJulian]

+Andrew Michael I've done leather & metal in the past. Both of them looked nice in a suit. In my upcoming video I've got a couple different bands so you'll be able to get an idea.

[@emelk.5352]

Andrew Michael

[@OLJackson]

Andrew Michael Yes you can wear either leather or metal bands. My preference is leather and yes it'll still look great with a suit

[@ralphmilleriii9957]

Nice hands on. I plan on getting the Frontier. Question... I also have a gear fit2. Does S health combine your total steps if you were to wear the Gear Fit2 at the gym and the Gear S3 afterwards?

[@kamenidriss]

I have the same question, from some replies apparently you can't aggregate data from 2 devices unfortunately. Perhaps I'm wrong.

[@HumbleD50]

Subscribed...Good luck with your channel.

[@JT74]

Great review man. I'v just switched back to Samsung after the Note 7 fiasco and having an iPhone for the last 6 months. I've just sold my Apple watch and want another smart watch but I'm so thorn between the Frontier and the Classic

[@shortyp]

I have the gear s2 classic with the speaker and microphone LTE version plus the gear s2 and gear s3 frontier but waiting on the galaxy watch too Come in by Monday

[@crimsonstang]

I just ordered my Gear S3 Classic from B&H. I was thinking that maybe I should get some cool 22mm bands because I'm not a fan of the bands on the Classic.

[@sanjeettiwari3976]

What if I buy this S3 frontier from other counry? Will it work with all its features or not after brought in my country?

[@iCeQubeTomato]

It's silly to have the Minute marks on the frontier if you're using a digital watch face.

[@teddydavid2816]

The deepness you were talking about is officially termed as "raisivity" coined by Flossy Carter hahaa. Just got the Frontier this watch is sooooo dope.

[@BlackPanther-xz9qn]

Is frontier good now? (5 years) I want to buy it..

[@ListenToJulian]

Yes. I'm still using it today.

[@gtibro6799]

Classic s3 was the best version and still the best!!!

[@powdernate]

Dude thank you for your review. I am going to go pick me up a frontier

[@-zerocool-]

Mine arrives in a couple days and I'm just worried about the quality of the main body housing compared to my Garmin Fenix 3HR Sapphire. Kinda looks like a tacky fingerprint magnet finish unlike the nice turn bezel it has.

[@clydezackery_hootie26]

thanks for the video, I was debating to buy or not to buy. Frontier or Classic... I'm going on a New Frontier

[@shortypittman7785]

I have both the gear s3 frontier and the gear s2 classic and bluetooth version had the gear s3 frontier for about a month and the other two for three years

[@kevina.2269]

Thanks for the comparison spending more than half the video on the frontier

[@virgiliotiangco]

got my frontier. its very nice i cant lie. i liked the bezel and all but it easily got scratched when i accidentally bumped it on something i don't even remember when i was training at gym. i think they used a material to a sports watch that isn't meant for sports?

[@BoStErO1905]

How the fuck y'all have these already??? I ordered mine from Samsung and still nothing

[@ListenToJulian]

+Eddie Scorsese these watches are basically impossible to get your hands on.

[@poppyshoessp]

Eddie Scorsese I feel your frustration. Ordered mine, received a tracking number, then notice...BACKORDER! My 2 Bestbuy locations are out of stock.

[@MacDaddyDev]

Eddie Scorsese I checked best buy, all sold out. I checked Macy's (they happen to sell Samsung watches in their jewelry department) and even though I thought they would have it since not many people I know go to Macy's for a Samsung watch, they didn't have it either. Samsung.com seems to be the only place that has it, but I can only imagine the wait I would have to endure just to get the watch.

[@werock2785]

i literally just went to best buy for black friday and got the s3 classic...granted it was the last one...

[@ivanvilla6731]

have the frontier but now I want the classic version

[@cnkilts]

nice comparison. the frontier looks sick

[@emirferhatovic1829]

So I went with the frontier, still waiting for it to arrive from samsung. did I make the right choice or is classic better ?

[@Competitief]

Is that Network error happening often?

[@foddoff3982]

Julian knows what he's talking about!

[@smok2256]

I'm in love with frontier!

[@rgruenhaus]

I just bought the Frontier

[@kamenidriss]

I'm just wondering if I wear this all day long will I be able to "feel" the watch on my hand? I noticed its considerably bigger and im just concerned it will kinda feel heavy.

[@ListenToJulian]

+Andrew Michael I would say no. Unless your doing push-ups or something where your hands bend all the way back. So far I've got no complaints about the fit

[@amberfarnsworth8520]

If youre a smaller person, you get used to it.

[@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039]

Too bad that the S3 Classic is no longer available. I think I may have purchased the last one and had to look hard to find it. I agree the band that came on the Classic detracted from the overall appearance, perhaps even affecting sales. I replaced mine with a stainless steel bracelet with CURVED ends and it looks superb, worn casual or formal. The curved ends add a more finished look to the watch but it takes a bit more effort to install. The Frontier as well as the newer Galaxy seem more focused on a sporty look to my eyes. The Classic has a round case which looks much better than the bump outs on the Frontier and Galaxy imo.

[@check4vailability]

I have them both. The classic is the watch. its feels much lighter even though its only 3 or 4 grams less, and looks much slimmer even though they they are both 12.9mm The classic is such a beauty compared to the frontier.. But still the frontier has newer versions that fixed the "loose bezel" and the clicky sound it makes. The classic is very hard to find. I can live with the loose bezel because the watch is incredibly amazing. In Israel, Samsung official only has the frontier, they have the classic on stand for people to see but they don't sell it!

[@DarthChainsaw]

thanks for the comparison. Just ordered the classic yesterday. The Frontier looks wayyy too much like a Walmart Casio to me when not in use.

[@danielramirez3048]

So for the frontier could me still connect it through the phone instead of a carrier

[@varunbhansali6240]

I have a very small wrist which one should i buy? Was waiting for s4 but no luck.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Just now watching this video, and HPA = Unit of measurement. In this case it has to do with Weather. Better yet, it stands for "HectoPascal." As in the case of Barometric Pressure.

[@Brandon-pq1pn]

Which is thicker? I think the classic would be thinner because it's just Bluetooth but tell me if there's a difference, thanks!

[@spacezeuzeu8747]

Brandon Jensen the classic is indeed thinner and matches with more bands than the Frontier. I ordered the Frontier and moved back to the classic. Just a matter of taste though ;)

[@Jakexgt1979]

Do you find the LTE. version worth it or is the Bluetooth version good enough?

[@Pler1978]

there is a one dollar watch face with clock in middle and then like 8 shortcut icons ....best by far. so you don't rotate it too much ... night and day between s2. feels like several generations difference...the s2 looks like a girls watch in comparison and battery is not what Samsung claims but that's to be expected of any company's battery claims...if you use always on display it will be a big battery drain though it's way better than s2 under the same conditions ...under stand alone 4g battery will drain very fast ...wouldn't use always on if you use it on that mode. Samsung pay on this works great love how you rotate bezel when answering or rejecting call. speaker phone is much better than s2.

[@ListenToJulian]

+martyjanderson awesome comment! What's the name of the watch face?

[@Pler1978]

ListenToJulian apps launcher ...wish there were more faces like this ...was playing around with thr gear s and forgot how huge and awesome that screen is wish they had the gear s 3 and an update gear s...nothing beats that screen for texting and e-mailing

[@yulaw_89]

can the frontier can be use as bluetooth?

[@stuff6181]

can you connect to wifi on classic or frontier

[@ListenToJulian]

+let's begin gaming yup 100%. It uses the WiFi profiles on the phone to connect through the watch.

[@stuff6181]

ListenToJulian thx man buying one for new year

[@ListenToJulian]

+let's begin gaming yup 100%. It uses the WiFi profiles on the phone to connect through the watch.
