I just picked up a refurbished S2 from eBay for $110. Thinking about getting my cousin one for his bdayI might pick up a Gear S2.

So I pulled the trigger and got myself the S3 Frontier. Very slick watch! I'm just quite disappointing of the apps available for the watch and I'm still having a hard time trying to get all the notification to work with the watch (third-party apps). Anyone have this issue as well?
Coming from an Apple Watch Ser. 1, most of the apps that's available on the phone, is also available on the watch. Hopefully Tizen improves & Samsung does something about this... The apps available with the watch is mostly not useful.
It's worth it for me because sometimes i can't use my note at work with meetings and such so everything is foward to my watch so I won't mess a beat and I can leave my phone at home or in the car and use my watch as a smartphone which the watch is capable of doing it's also great for working out running and all types of fitnessare watches really worth it I always wanted to get one but never really felt like I need it like how are Samsung watches compared to other smart watches like the Moto 360 and like that one zte watch

And the frontier compared to other android wear devices is miles head of them looks and functionality it's just needs to be updated and have more appsIt's worth it for me because sometimes i can't use my note at work with meetings and such so everything is foward to my watch so I won't mess a beat and I can leave my phone at home or in the car and use my watch as a smartphone which the watch is capable of doing it's also great for working out running and all types of fitness
Given the cost, probably not. I've had a gear s3 for about 4 months now and probably 95% of my use for it is checking the time. The rest is mostly health/exercise/sleep monitoring.are watches really worth it I always wanted to get one but never really felt like I need it like how are Samsung watches compared to other smart watches like the Moto 360 and like that one zte watch
I too am coming from the original Apple Watch (pre Series 1). I actually like the Gear S3 a lot better in many ways. The only things that are negatives are way fewer apps, and the lack of complications on faces. These two are kind of related since apps can feed complications. That said, after the first few months of having the Apple Watch and "playing", I would estimate that 90% of my watch usage was the native apps. The things that were 3rd party were as much novelty as anything else, so not a huge loss .... really.
On the plus side though, there is a whole list of things I like better on the Gear S3, not the least of which is the rotating dial and UI... find it so much better, particularly when in the gym and my hands are sweaty. And the thousands of faces are really nice too... not sure why Apple stubbornly refuses to open up faces.
Notifications have just flowed in for me... so not had any issues there.
