Which watch do you have paired with your S10/S10+

Gear S3 Frontier

I had the Fossil Sport for a few months, but WearOS is so laggy and not a very good experience.

Last week I bought a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier when Best Buy had them on sale for $70 off, so I got it for $229. I like it much better. It's crazy how fast it is, and has way more features than WearOS.

I mainly just use it for notifications and controlling my music when I am driving, so additional app support like on WearOS is wasted on me. Plus, the watch comes with a lot of stuff on it. And using the rotating bezel to get around makes the watch that much awesome!

Another reason I prefer the S3 is because I like to use Samsung Pay instead of Android Pay, and the addition of MST on the watch makes it the best Samsung watch in my opinion. Samsung made a dumb move removing that from their newer Galaxy watches.

It's good to see the S3 still holding up, I just went out satuday and purchased the 42mm black galaxy watch. I like it so much more than my active, biggest thing I like is that it makes a sound for notifications!! The active only vibrates and sometimes I miss the alert

Galaxy 46mm here

Garmin Fenix 5. Most underated smart watch out there. Amazing fitness tracking and smart notifications. Highly recommend.

S3 Frontier here. Still a solid smartwatch. Had it since release and have done one battery swap since owning it and haven't had a reason to upgrade.

Did you do the battery swap yourself?

Yeah it was pretty easy that's if you're comfortable doing these sort of things. Watched a YouTube video on how to take it apart and found the battery on ebay.

So I guess that this is a good place to ask this question...

What is the Best or at least a Good Inexpensive, $100.00 or less, Smartwatch to pair with the Samsung S10+?

Basically what I am looking for is a watch that does the following 4 functions...

1. Clock
2. Text Messages Viewing
3. Calendar Notifications
4. Step Counter (I Don't Want a Heart Rate Monitor)
5. Email notification would be nice...but is not important

Of course if the Smartwatch has a Heart Rate Monitor, I will simply try to find a way to turn it off.

Any idea would be much appreciated!

I love my Galaxy watch I had the regular gear S3 classic which I gave to my husband. But the Galaxy watches more like the gear S3 frontier I like the buttons better and it's the perfect size for me that gear S3 was so big.

I don't know if you are going to find a new watch for the $100 mark, but you can find a decent used one for that price. For around $100 or less you may find a gear fit pro 2 (check facebook market place or swappa) may be able to get a seller on the S3 frontier to drop that low or close to it. If you could do the $140-150 range you could get a nice used Galaxy active watch. Also if you can stretch to $140-150 message me as my girlfriend wants to sell her Active watch, bought on release date and taken care of very well

Fitbit Ionic, I use it mostly for managing the notifications from the S10+...

Garmin Fenix 3 HR (waiting for calling capability to upgrade - hopefully the 6)

I have two watches paired to my S10. One is the Galaxy Watch and the other is a Breitling Exospace B55 Titanium. Here's a link to the second one: https://www.breitling.com/us-en/watches/professional/b55/EB5510H21B1S1/

S3 Frontier. I had the chance to "upgrade" to the Galaxy Watch pretty cheap but it's really no upgrade without MST.
