Sounds like it could be relatively soon too....

I wonder what features will be included since we can't really swim in this watch.

Glad to hear that we will be getting a software update but this article is very light on the details of what could be in the update. Hopefully Bixby will make its way to our watch at some point.

I wouldn't expect too much in the way of new features. Maybe Bixby if it's integrated with 6.0.

I hope I never see Bixby

I think Bixby would be a much better option over S voice. Not a big fan of Bixby, but S voice is horrible.

As much as I think Bixby is useless, I agree with with S Voice being garbage too. I won't use either seems how I will have to unblock Bixby on my phone for that to work properly. Bah!

Say waaaaaat? I swim in mine all the time! Maybe I'm not supposed to, but I do and no issues. Not long swims....like jumping off boat, swimming around for a bit.

Yeah, I swim with mine all the time.

Any news anyone on the availability of the update for 3.0?

 

[jsk0703]

Nothing yet unfortunately. Hopefully it'll roll out by the end of October.

Apparently is being tested on all S3 variants now.

I would guess Samsung, as not everyone has a carrier model

Your gear app on the phone will update your software you can also go in there and check manually under phone information and settings

For those with a carrier version, updates are released at the direction of the carrier. Those with a WiFi only model receive updates at the direction of Samsung.
