What customers say about "Features"
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch
  • Excellent the sensors to detect the different activities like running, moving, or sleeping.
  • I really like the features on the Samsung watch. My Fitbit was nice but it seemed outdated. The auto exercise could activate a little sooner to match the treadmill numbers.
  • Enjoy wearing it daily and using all the many features.
  • The features available pass competitors not only with clarity of picture but also when using watch for phone calls and texts.
  • Nice features able to answer phone calls and texts and biometrics. Much better than the fitbit surge.

  • Very good on battery usage. Once it is charged to 100% it status charged for at least 2 days!
  • The battery life is good, charges very fast too.
  • Husband loves it. The charge time is awesome and it runs smoothly.
