Samsung Galaxy Watch3 review

 

Saying that smartwatches have become an integral part of our lives would be an overstatement but we are (probably) headed in that general direction. And...

Premium build, nice and light feel.

Disappointing battery life, even compared to its predecessor.

Still, there are some hurdles that even Samsung wasn't able to get through and the biggest one is battery life. Going beyond two days on the 41mm version is a struggle to say the least. And another big hurdle is the ECG certification. It's sad to see...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: The (other) smartwatch you should buy

 

If you own an Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 should be at the top of your smartwatch shopping list. It's expensive, but worth it.

Stylish, traditional watch looks ; Attractive, reliable software ; Brilliant rotating bezel aces the control system ; Comprehensive health-tracking features ; Solid battery life

Questionable fitness-tracking accuracy ; Slow battery charging

Galaxy Watch 3 review: The best non-Apple smartwatch

 

With the Galaxy Watch 3, Samsung continues to prove it can make a better smartwatch companion for Android phones than Google. Although the Watch 3 is chunkier than its similarly capable Active series, it brings improved sleep and health tracking...

Useful spinning bezel ; Good sleep tracking ; Clever activity suggestions ; Improved workout tracking

Chunky ; Expensive compared to Galaxy Watch Active 2

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: time for a change

 

The new Galaxy Watch 3 isn't a huge leap forward for smartwatches.

Easy-to-use interface ; Rotating bezel control is a delight ; Fast enough performance ; Great display

Bixby remains the worst voice assistant ; App selection is still dire ; Fitness tracking features are hit or miss ; “Slimmer” design is still large and chunky

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 3 is the company’s most expensive smartwatch yet, with a stainless steel body, rotating bezel, and larger display. But it doesn’t necessarily do anything different from the less expensive Active models from Samsung.

Galaxy Watch 3 update starts rolling out with improved blood oxygen tracking, ‘voice guidance’

 

While Samsung is moving to Wear OS for its smartwatch needs, Tizen wearables aren't calling it quits just yet. This week, a new update started rolling out to the Galaxy Watch 3 with improvements to blood oxygen tracking and “voice guidance.” expand...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: The best Android smartwatch

 

Smartwatches are almost always forced to compromise in their design in some way. After all, it's hard to cram all of the various specs and sensors that make these tiny wrist computers so functional into something you'd actually want to wear out. The...

Gorgeous classic design Satisfying rotating bezel Solid battery life EKG support is incoming Tizen is generally a great interface

App support is still lacking Very high starting price Slow, clunky charger No MST for Samsung Pay

The Galaxy Watch 3 offers stunning hardware and a variety of health-focused features, including an EKG and blood pressure sensor. It doesn't have the widest third-party app support, but you'll get good battery life, a bright display, and Samsung's...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: One of the best Apple Watch alternatives

 

The main aesthetic criticism of Samsung's original Galaxy Watch is its chunky design. It has big bezels and an in-your-face look that many people either love or hate. Samsung really turned things around with the Galaxy Watch 3. It's thinner and lighter...

Fantastic display and rotating bezel Thinner, lighter design Two-day battery life Advanced running metrics can be super helpful Useful sleep tracking and insights

GPS and HR sensors can be inaccurate No MST payments with Samsung Pay Big price increase over original Galaxy Watch Setup process for non-Samsung phones is a pain Third-party app support is lacking

Not many other smartwatches are as well-rounded as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. The hardware and software are better than ever, though Samsung still has some work to do with fitness tracking accuracy. If you're going to buy a premium smartwatch for your...

Samsung Galaxy Watch3 (45mm) Review

 

For the past couple of years, Samsung's lineup of smartwatches has been my favourite to wear on my wrist. From its rotating bezel to the Tizen interface, there's a lot to like about Samsung's watches including the latest Galaxy Watch3. Editor's Note:...

Slimmer, lighter than the original ; Great display ; The rotating bezel is intuitive ; Solid two-day battery life ; Fast performance ; Tizen still works well as a smartwatch OS ; Good fitness tracking features

Battery life is shorter than the previous Galaxy Watch ; No MST for Samsung Pay (but there is NFC) ; Blood pressure and ECG features not available in Canada yet ; More expensive ; Limited third-party app support

The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 is a great smartwatch that is thinner and feels almost like a premium device. There are some sacrifices you’ll have to make, like not as long of battery life as previous watches and a fairly substantial price increase.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review

 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 brings back the rotating bezel — plus a few other tricks — right to your wrist.

But this convergence came at a cost — the Galaxy Watch 3 is more expensive than the Galaxy Watches and Wear OS Fossil options before it, and leans more towards lifestyle than fitness. I can’t say I’d replace my Apple Watch with an Android one at the...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Review: The premium Android smartwatch

 

The Galaxy Watch 3 brings back the excellent rotating bezel, offers new features and comes in a beautiful ‘Mystic Bronze.'

Features like SpO2, fall detection and stress monitoring ; The rotating bezel is back ; Sleep monitoring is helpful

Expensive ; Battery doesn't last long enough ; Installing the app is a bit tedious

Samsung’s smartwatches keep getting increasingly better without resorting to gimmicks
