But then you lose having its own cell service and No Samsung Pay iirc right?

I originally purchased my Frontier last year when I had to return my Note 7 and did not want to get rid of Samsung pay I really enjoyed it the year Ive had it.

Those are non factors for me; don't need or want it to have it's own cell service and my bank is a small local credit union that doesn't support Samsung pay

I did the other day.

Waiting patiently for my S3 Frontier! I caved and ordered one having transitioned from the iPhone ecosystem, more than ready to part company with my Apple watch!

Bought the Frontier LTE from Verizon and tricked into thinking was buying phone on monthly contract. Full price of phone ($400) appears on bill and Verizon manager tells me they never sell on contract.

Later checked Verizon web site and they advertised sale by contract.

Verizon retail has lied to me multiple times over the years. Prefer Best Buy.

Love the phone though.

Postscript: Make that watch not phone.

Does anyone know if you're able to pre order the gear sport from Best Buy and still get the 6 month free Spotify deal? Or is that something that has to go through Samsung in order to get it?

Anyone plan on getting a new smart watch? If so which one?

Personally, never understood the watch and phone thing. It's just me I guess. My son has all that. I'm sure a ton of money is being made off it, but I'll pass

I got the Gear S3 Classic LTE. I was so glad I held out. The watch looks more feminine in my opinion (depending on the band). Now, I've developed a serious band addiction. I am at about 10 bands now. I have work out bands, work bands, fancy bands, casual bands, funky bands...

Since I got my watch, I tried some of the fun apps, but found most of my usage is stock apps and S Health. I keep a couple on the watch to show people for a Gee Whiz factor, but don't actually use them myself.

The best part is meetings. When I meet with clients I don't want to be picking up my phone in front of them. It's rude. But if I'm not actively speaking in the meeting, no one will think anything of me glancing at my watch. It's saves me a couple times as I saw things happening that I needed to excuse myself to take care of.

Also, I keep my phone on vibrate now about 99% of the time since I have the watch.

Oh, and I've lost 10 pounds thanks to the fitness side of the watch.

using gear S3 frontier with my phone . best combination

 

[rikken]

Gear S3 Frontier here, perfect combo

I would have loved to get the S3 frontier especially now with the price drop but I have such small wrists, it would have looked ridiculous on me. I really feel like they should have made a smaller watch with the same internals and features.

Love my Gear S3 Frontier! performance & health/exercise tracking are far better than with the Apple watch!

Have you looked into the gear Sport at all?

 

[mia_xoxo]

Yeah that's the one I intend on getting when it's released. Only thing is the frontier has gotten such great reviews I know I'm actually getting a solid watch versus being one of the first to try out the Gear Sport. The price is supposed to jump back up on the frontier so I'll be missing out on a good deal if the Sport doesn't do it for me.

love my Gear S3 Frontier too

 

[dpham00]

I got a Huawei watch 2 classic to replace my gear s2. Actually I wasn't going to upgrade but I got it free so sure why not.

 

[debdroid1a]

I splurged and got the Gear 3 Classic (Best Buy sale).
Just got it yesterday and I love it.

I'm waiting to see what is coming with the S4 in 2018 to go with my new Note 8.

 

[credo]

Gear S3 Frontier. The only thing I don't like about it is only the stock messenger is fully functional with it.
