5 major differences between Galaxy Watch and Gear S3 Frontier! 

So which do u prefer

I dont swim though so which should I buy

@@noorafshan800 for the S3 it is 11.5 metres and the galaxy watch is 15 metres, like it's no big deal

@@acentrixes1380 Thanks

And am asking , is this galaxy s3 or galaxy s3

I'm thinking of getting the 42mm one. Everything still good with it?

@@Izzy-hm4zn yep, other than having to replace the battery not too long ago, it has been solid.

@@its_Tricky83 thanks I tried to find it online and could not find it only on amazon but the reviews didnt seem good seemed like a knockoff. I went ahead and just got the galaxy watch the midnight edition one. Appreciate your reply.

@@Izzy-hm4zn you can try eBay mate I ordered one from there

@@KingAzarof I appreciate it man. I just always feel sketchy buying stuff on there. I literally had to get a refund last month for something I never received. I ended up going with the Galaxy watch the black one.

Same here

4004 now

Frontier offers more options not available in the new watch

@@leonkimball1 nope

@@leonkimball1 how do you figure? I have both and a fotbot semse ,im not very deep into both of them but curious as to what the differnces you're speaking of.

@@derrickforeal one thing the gear s3 offers that the galaxy doesn't is MST payments. That is Samsung pay being able to pay using the old swipe terminal CC machines by sending out signals to the magnetic stripe reader. The galaxy doesn't offer that option.

@@TedZarcone the new watch3 does that? Of the older one?

Yeah it has everything, I don't see the reason to upgrade

Also if there is a workout not included you just choose "other workout" option and it will track time/heart rate so... not a big deal.

There is a video comparison between GW and GWA as well on this channel.

I'm in the same boat. Did you ever decide?

Will mention in next video.

Efren Pavo what is mst?

@@hyper-novaa magnetic transactions that replicate as if you were using an actual credit card

Efrén thank you for letting me know

@Samsung Ambassadors US hows the battery life?

Thank you SHIT! I have been searching high and low for this very statement. So thank you my brother; I will just purchase the classic version bc that's literally the only reason I even want a watch

My frontier survived several swims in the ocean. Only thing I did was hose it off with fresh water.

I've swam in the pool, and the ocean, countless times with my s3 frontier without any issue. I also did the same when I had my s2, never worried about getting either wet, and never had any issues.

Since they upgraded the S3 to 4.0, I'm not really sure what benefit there is...actually seems like more of a downgrade.

@@TheGeekNextDoor did you face any problems with the system after updating to Tizen 4.0? Or it's only about not adding a worthy features?

@@ahmedyehia2865 it seems a bit more sluggish since the update. Not sure the new features were worth it. Still works, but seems like it has to wait sometimes on the screen.

Once you got a new battery your watch is no longer water resistant

@@PhillyDjHook Not true at all. My water resistance is still there according to Samsung Service. There is no glue holding the watch together. It has a sleeve sealing design with a replaceable rubber gasket similar to what we use on the industrial pumping systems we design. Samsung change the gasket along with the battery. I cannot speak for third party battery changes and whether they do that or not. But.....learn your facts before opening your mouth and putting your foot in it. 😉

@@brianmsahin How did they change it? Did you have to send the watch and how much was the total cost including the shipping?

@@TheTreb68 Hi there. We're lucky in that we have a lot of Samsung Service centres where I live, the nearest one to me is a 20 minute walk in Istanbul. As there is a legal 2 year guarantee enforced by law here, and the integrated battery is covered, I got it replaced for free as it was just under 2 years and didn't have to pay for shipping as they did it while I waited. It's going great by the way, fantastic battery life again.

Absolutely!

Same here. I like my frontier. I skipped the Gear Sport and Galaxy Watch. Hopeful that the the Galaxy Watch two can compete with the ECG/EKG on the Apple watch plus add a blood pressure monitor.

Same here. I've no reason to change. 👍

I'm in the market for either the frontier or the regular s3 but confused on which to buy. Which would you recommend? Also, some reviewers claim the frontier is heavy. It's a subjective word but would you consider it heavy compared to a regular chain watch or leather watch? Pls your honest review as a user will be appreciated. Thanks man

@@reektheon8281 I've owned the Frontier for a little over a year. I wear my watch everyday of the week. I take it off at night so I don't sleep with it on. I was in the military for many years & during my service I always wore stainless steel diver style chronos so I personally prefer a bigger watch. I think the watch is perfect in size & weight for my wrist. I have medium wrists so the watch fits me perfectly. As far as the weight of the watch you're absolutely correct...weight is subjective! I don't think the watch is much thicker than any other watch I own so height off my wrist is not an issue for me.; Again, I wear mine everyday and I think it fits & feels perfect. It looks good with all the clothes I wear, whether I'm dressed up or down & is a very masculine watch.

Galaxy watch

Or perhaps the new Galaxy watch active 2.

@@digitaladventures how is the active 2 in terms od specs...??

LOL

LOL

I paid 63 euros for a used one that looks like new. Best deal i've done in a long time!

i bought galaxywatch for 220 but should have gone for s3 it seems

unless your an avid swimmer/diver, i got the s3 but now after watching this i wish i would have spent the extra $

Unless you want the 42mm size

Sorry but the galaxy watch is way much better

S3 is horrible for that sort of thing. I picked mine up one day and just by removing it from the packaging I got a scratch on the bezel

The MST feature of the S# has saved me so many times at places not using NFC. I've surprised many merchants when they say their card reader doesn't take wireless pay. I don't need my wallet or phone. MST is awesome!!

I really think it is poor that they did not include the MST in the galaxy watch. Seems like a total downgrade!

@Delsin a or you can shut the fuck up

@@nhudson78I'm heavy user of Samsung Pay, I like the cashier and other people look surprised whenever I use my phone to pay. This is the only reason I'm buying this G3 because of Samsung Pay and being a watch, I don't care about the other features. If only the other has MST, it would have been perfect. What in a hell the Samsung designers were thinking!!!!!

New watch is Samsung tricks , Samsung using this type of tricks from birth of the company instead giving updated to old watchs or mobile

Yes they have same body, but do take note of your gear variant. There's a 2 version, one is 42mm and the other is 46mm

Rotate the bezel a little faster

@@digitaladventures - Well I never knew that. Thank you. Made my day :-)

Oh wow!!

Yeah im having trouble picking now too lol and i see people are having trouble with the new update on their s3 frontier

So did you guys pick one? and which one?

Seems they downgraded their new wstch.. I will stick to the frontier

Exactly why I exchanged my Galaxy watch I got for Christmas for the Gear S3

Oxygen ii

@stephen robinson ya I got the S2 classic and returned the next day. When I saw it go from 100% to 80% in an hour without me even touching it.. Nope. Lol. I'll check the galaxy watch instead, thnx for the info

@stephen robinson yep it was an open box from Bestbuy, I figure maybe it was just a defect, but really 20% 1 hour, just Bluetooth connected, didn't even touch the screen

yep

It's now been updated

@@dovydasi.4883 how do I get it plz

@@jacungus I guess u need to let your watch check for updates. And you should look up, how the updates are being rolled out

With the gear S3 updated does it have all the exercise features the galaxy watch has and those extra watch faces? Is the only difference then the battery MaH and processor?

Does it have updated?

@@AnDr3xGamer yes

Does it track more kind of sports now?

@@KelvinTan133 Yes now it do more

Now it.s 4.0.0.4

its because this video was uploaded in 2018

Haha bozo!

Me too 🖖🏻 you bought it?

My local costco has the gear s3 frontier for 189.99.

Galaxy watch is awesome!! Jus picked mine up the other day. I love it

I went with the frontier. I don't swim enough to need it it cycle. But I love having samsung pay on my wrist.
