About the Product

Touchscreen smartwatches powered with Wear OS by Google require a phone running Android OS 6.0+ (excluding Go edition) or iOS 12.0+. Customize the full-round display and three buttons with your handiest features, receive notifications (on the go) and automatically track your activity from the hiking trails to the gym.

The Gear S3 looks and feels like a real watch but does more than a regular watch and without requiring any extra effort on your part. The features that already exist on a watch, the bezel, the crown and the crystal, can be turned, pressed or tapped for convenience, fun and pure freedom from your phone.
