Bezel Extremely Easy to Rotate on New Frontier

[hollinger1]

Just unboxed my new Gear s3 Frontier... Haven't even set it up yet. The first thing I noticed was that the bezel rotates VERY easily... Almost no effort at all is required to turn it.

I checked in with a Samsung representative who assured me that this was perfectly normal.

Wanted to ask here, however, if your experiences with the ease of rotation has been similar. By the way... I am not talking about any looseness or clicking noises I have read so much about.

Thanks in advance.

Mine is effortless to rotate. I can do it with one finger while it sits on my wrist. For every 360 degree spin of the bezel, there should be 24 detent points though.

I just picked one up at Best Buy today. One of the things I noticed was how easy the floor model and an open box model was so easy to turn. The one on bought is easy to turn, but not like those were. It would probably drive me nuts, to be honest. The easy rotation could wake the watch more often than normal I would guess.

I can turn mine with one finger too, but I do have some.....resistance, smoothness to the turn
