Samsung Gear S3 Frontier: Why Not Galaxy Watch?

When looking at the Gear S3 vs. Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Watch is an amazing device but the Gear S3 Frontier feels like a better value considering the price point. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section!

For anyone with the new UI and now having their Always On function kill the battery in an hour, turn on the Tap To Wake function (Settings, Advanced, Touch Wake Up, On). This completely fixes the battery issue and I'm back to having a full day of battery with Always On display.

[@DilipBanerjee]

End of 2022 and my S3 is still going strong. I'm on my 3rd Samsung phone since I bought the S3 and its original battery still gives me close to two days of usage. One minor scratch on the bezel was fixed with a black marker, and it looks as good as new! I recently was given a Watch 5 pro, and moving on is not easy. I would not have bought myself another watch. I actually think the S3 looks more rugged than the Watch 5 pro. The S3 is going to remain in the family, though, so I can visit it often 😄. I think, price considered, the S3 is still a good buy in 2022!

[@snauspockets9924]

I can't believe you didn't bother to mention the difference in Samsung Pay between the two watches. That alone is the reason I didn't upgrade. The S3 Frontier completely changed my life because I can pay for things without having my wallet on me now. I especially enjoy when a cashier tries to stop me from trying to pay with my watch because some guy with an Apple Watch tried it and it failed... then boom it works for me and the confused look on their face is priceless. I am not a watch guy and didn't wear a watch for 20 years before my S3 Frontier but I really enjoy having my S3 Frontier these days. The big new one UI update is just icing on the cake for another couple years.

[@malicewhite2168]

I totally agree I'm glad I went went the frontier over the Galaxy and with this update it's been giving new life

[@3DJapan]

That's a good point. When I was looking at watches I specifically looked to see which ones had MST.

[@Halebopp97]

What's gonna happen when cash has gone and your card has been blocked and you can no longer pull out a twenty from your pocket to pay for something? Like fuel, food or travel? Bad bad news!

[@DrumWild]

I'm still on the S3 Frontier because of MST.

[@garymccartney7556]

I have had this watch since it came out, i absolutely love it. I came from a first gen Moto 360 and was very hesitant since this watch has tizen and not a google wear OS. But i quickly get used to this OS and it has held up great actually a lot better than my 360 did. I am rough on this watch i wear it everyday for work and play i bang it into stuff and expose it to rain,snow and mud on a daily basis with no operational or cosmetic damage.I have had the watch submerged in muddy water and covered in mud and the bezel still turns although you can feel the grit under the bezel it still functioned like it should and once it was washed off it operated normally again.

[@Trucking_Tom]

[@JohnTye]

Good video. I own both watches and I will tell you one huge issue I have that you didn't mention. Samsung Pay. The Galaxy watch actually went backwards. Can't remember the tech term but the S3 has the ability with Samsung Pay to pay by swiping over the magnetic strip of a credit card reader just like the phone. The newer Galaxy Watch does not. It will only work on a cc reader that supports the readers that you tap to pay. So, I used to always use my watch to pay. Now I rarely do.

[@georjistephenson8942]

It's called MST. Galaxy watch only uses NFC. Since you own both watches, do you notice any difference in user experience? Anything the new model has that the old one doesn't? Except for battery life?

[@NorthshireGaming]

@@georjistephenson8942 Functionality wise, there really isn't a difference in the performance or functionality of the watches. The Galaxy Watch has LTE support, which would be really nice if I could use my watch as a mobile hotspot, but to my knowledge this isn't a thing. But it does afford you the ability to use your watches full functionality without your cellphone on hand.

[@kyle_canada]

Also just bought Galaxy watch 46mm together with buds. And im loving them. 💯

[@emontosa]

Fully agree. I have the Frontier and I am not missing the new watch versions. I have plenty of functions with the new update to One UI....

[@ortegaadrian45]

You lose the ability to copy the magnet swipe from your debit card when using the galaxy watch for Samsung pay no idea why they chose to do this? Gear s3 frontier all the way!

[@justdigit]

Samsung Pay FTW! Surprising people on the daily basis!

[@grimalkin1697]

u can pay using s3 frontier? so u can use it instead of card?

[@justdigit]

@@grimalkin1697 Yes! The watch has a copy of your card and basically you can pay with it everywhere, where you can swipe your bank card. (except at some of the gas station pumps with old card readers)

[@BHShaman]

Absolutely. My Frontier new this past month. Best purchase ever. Using it on Magnetic Strip Readers is a godsend, as not every corner store has tap.

[@dannulik]

In most of Europe we don't use magnetic stripes anymore so it is practically useless feature here. And I think that same goes for most of Asia.

[@febri8853]

My first watch was the good old Gear 2, than I switched to the Gear S3 Classic, and I love it. Recent software updates made it even better.

GEAR S3 Classic - most beautiful Smartwatch

[@bonedatt]

Samsung pay on my Gear S3 Classic with LTE was one of the reasons why I got it, since I wasn't using a Samsung device at the time. MST makes it easy to use in stores where their point of sale machines don't have NFC. Other than a dead battery (which I may even try to replace if needed), I don't see a reason to upgrade mine.

[@amber7975]

I have a question.are you able to use Samsung pay through the watch with one plus 7 pro ?

[@silverseoulman1704]

I just ordered the Gear 3 Frontier yesterday on Amazon when the price dropped to $194.18 brand new. It jumped back up to 215$ shortly after... I just can't buy a refurbished one. I have been going back n forth from the S3 and the Galaxy watch. Size was my main concern and the 42mm Galaxy almost had me but the 85$ price difference and no MST Samsung Pay outweigh the upgrades for me. Thanks for the video! It made me feel better about my decision.

[@xpert_kid_one730]

Wait the Galaxy watch doesn't allow you too use Samsung pay?

[@silverseoulman1704]

@@xpert_kid_one730 It does - its just NFC(near field) though which only works at NFC terminals. This is what Apple Pay & Google pay have... While if you have MST(magnetic secure) it works anywhere you can swipe a card which is about everywhere and still NFC capable. This may not be an issue in Europe but is still a problem in the US... At least around where I live. I really don't understand why Samsung ditched MST in its Smart watches. Seems the Gear S3 is the last one with it.

[@MHBGT]

Your Gear S3 looks great! In fact, the UI looks exactly like my Galaxy Watch 46mm.

[@jonason05]

I agree. That's as he said because of the fact that both are using the same UI. Samsung is still updating their older products. This means that galaxy watch users are very likely to still get updates when a new version comes out.

Hey man great video and thanks for your insight. What do you think about renewed/refurbished v.s. new

[@ShaneSymonds]

Thanks for watching! I think the sweet spot is buying second hand items that are 1 year old. Usually a good price and product may not get too beaten up after 1 year. I got this S3 for around $140 I don't remember when, but I'm very happy with this device at that price. On the other hand, some people are paranoid and only buy new which is fine, and I'll buy new for the sake of reviewing products in a timely manner, but for personal use I like good condition tech that is 1 year old for best value for your money.

[@islandlifespi4520]

You should buy "open box" essentially brand new with a heavily discounted price. Ebay $159 for the s3

Then I hope this video helps! It really comes down to what your budget is because these are both great devices that won't disappoint. Alot of people prefer galaxy watch for the 4+ day battery life.

The real struggle is the 46mm diameter.. I need a 42 but I can't find any smartwatch that's like the s3😩

You get used to it fairly quickly

@@kirkdyer89 I tried in a store personally but it's too big, I can't get use to it.. I replace it with the Galaxy watch 42mm

I'm using my gear S3 for the past 2 years. But did you guys notice that the colour on the rotating bezel is a little faded compared to the time you bought it ? My friend has one too and ever though we don't scratch them they get a little faded (I mean a tiny discoloration)

Mine is scratched up a bit

Dabs in still no one ui for my galaxy watch (granted, i live in Norway so they've probably not pushed the update here yet)

6yrs and battery finally died

[@r5LgxTbQ]

the newest software update on the s3 frontier really revitalized it

[@ShaneSymonds]

It's definitely a great refresh

[@joller79]

Would be nice to have option to downgrade also.

Does The S3 sync with the built in calender in IPhones?
