AT&T Galaxy S8 Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier

[DarkSorrow]

Picked up an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier watch the other day. I activated it today on the network. The LTE is real nice. We setup number sync so my calls and texts and such would forward to the watch as well if it was out of BlueTooth range. I think this watch is much better than the old Apple Watch I had. The LTE is far superior!

Totally agree. Originally intended to purchase Bluetooth model but Verizon was out. I'm very glad that was the case. You'll find doing errands and such without the phone is a pleasure.

Going out without a phone in today's society, complete data withdrawal might need therapy, just kidding mine is only Bluetooth but Samsung pay still works and saved wifi spots to works, so brief outings without the phone is a nice break I would totally do the LTE

I have one and love it. I just recently broke the strap though (walking two huskies had their leash loops on that wrist dumbly, and they darted when they saw a rabbit). Luckily I still have the original strap I'll use for the time being

Did they get the rabbit?

Did they get the rabbit?

Lol no. That's why I look their leashes on my hand so they don't. 2 huskies and if they got loose-scary. They don't run away but they run around out of reach like it's a game and have close calls with traffic.

 

[103Softail]

Haha. Haven't had a roast rabbit for ages!

Only had it for few days and noticing a lot of battery use now. I charged it last night and overnight it's already at 48%.

6 Hours 8 Minutes Usage

Est Time Left 22 hours 15 minutes

A new watch face or a app can sometimes cause that just restart the watch or the most likely culprit is the weather app, go into battery in the gear app on the phone and see the %of what's using the battery, mine did this 2/3 times but hasn't for a long time now

I use my S3 every day and get about 4 days use on one charge. Amazing, compared to my wife's iwatch.

 

[DarkSorrow]

So much for the advertised 3 day usage. For some reason S health is using so much battery. It never did before. It always showed watch faces... Under a day's usage is horrible!! I haven't done anything today to cause health to even be used!

I agree, I don't want s health & it uses so much battery!

That seems like pretty good battery life. Do you have the wifi/Bluetooth version or the one with a service plan?

 

[DarkSorrow]

Something seriously wrong with this watch ever since I added the LTE plan. I took watch off charger at 3pm CST and it was fully charged. It's 9pm CST and it turned off completely dead!! Only 6 hours this time. What the hell!!

Anyone else's rotating bezel loose? I just got a replacement from Amazon, and the new one's bezel seems way more loose than the other one.

Try resetting the watch. Can't hurt. And what does the app say is drawing off the battery?

 

[Thomasrope]

I have the Wi-Fi Bluetooth version. My wife quit wearing her iwatch because of the poor battery life.

 

[uncreativeartist]

Anyone that doesn't want their Frontier I will gladly receive it to dispose of it properly. LOL

 

[DarkSorrow]

Now it shows this. I don't even use the AOD. The watch is turned off most the time unless I look at an alert.. Not even a full day of usage. I may very well return this watch..

Don't understand it. I have the Verizon LTE and have LTE turned on. Lasts into late evening. I would takes yours back. This is unacceptable.

I would try a factory reset first.
