Gear S3 likely to be announced on 9/1 at IFA. my return period on my huawei watch expires 9/9. I'm definitely going to be seeing if Samsung is able to make some improvements over last year's watch, which I was very close to choosing over this one.
Personally, I'd put up with a little less functionality for a watch that looks like a watch! Then again, I'm old and have been wearing analog watches for 50 years or so, lol!
