So, wife loves her Gear 2 and she asked if I wanted one. I told her "no, because I'd want to get a Samsung device then". So, I was thinking why not get the Gear 2 anyways? I have a Nexus 5, so I know I wouldn't be able to use a few features like S-Voice or get apps. But, since I don't think I need a camera on my watch, would I regret getting the Neo?
Hello
I'm an Apple funboy- I admit but I just sold my Apple Watch Nike + edition and got my self a new Samsung gear s3 frontier and I love it!!!
I installed the latest beta on my iPhone and it works well but not as perfect as I wish.

Thanks

iPhone user here. Wanted to get a Frontier but no stock everywhere in my city.
I wouldn't call myself an Apple fanboy, but I was really happy with my iPhone 6s Plus until I have seen Gear S3.
I tried to use the watch with the beta Gear Manager but it was so much limited, so I decided to give Galaxy S7 Edge a try. Risky move, I know...
Loving both Gear S3 and and Galaxy S7 Edge so far. Much better than I anticipated actually, no regrets yet...
I want to get the Gear S3 Frontier. I have a Honor 8 phone. I use Google Messenger and Google Allo. Do both of these apps work with the Gear S3, can I send and receive text messages etc. I don't want to use the stock Samsung app.

You get notifications(with the content like you have in the Android status bar) , but you can not reply from the watch

It is for android wear watches so doesn't do much for gear, it only enables replying to the messages even if you are not using samsung's message app. You can just use SMSGear instead of doing this actually. https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/opensource-sms-application-gear-s3-t3557263
Ahh only sms... I thought whatsapp etc also...

I will probably skip the Samsung watch and grab a wear watch instead like the Lg Style. After some reading Samsung watches are great if you have a Samsung phone, but if you do not then it's hit or miss with most apps and some don't work at all. And of course the apps I use are the ones that apparently don't work at all with Samsung. Shame really because I think the Samsung watch looks almost like the $1000 Tag Heuer smart watch. If they would have only used wear software instead of there own.

(I'm not sure where you're at but) Check Best Buy. The Samsung Rep told me you can return the S3 within a 15-day period after buying. I asked the rep at a Best Buy (at a location with a Samsung gallery -- not all locations have) to take the S3 out of Store Demo Mode so I can pair it with my old Galaxy Note 2 but he said he can't. He mentioned I can buy and return it within 15 days if I'm not happy with it. If you're going to do this, see if you can involve a manager. Sometimes reps just say whatever they want to make a sale. But who knows. He could be telling the truth.

Best buy's return policy is 15 days unless otherwise stated. The only reason I know that is they will price match anything you buy within the return period as well. I had bought a TV and on the 15th day it dropped by about $500. Called them up and they refunded that amount. The info on price matching and return policy can be found easily on their website.
So I checked out the S3 at T-Mobile store. Never mind its way to big and heavy. Also it didn't work with half the stuff I wanted to do on my Pixel. I think this watch is great if you have a Samsung phone, but if it's a non Samsung phone then expect half the stuff not to work right. I think I will pick up the new LG Sport watch instead...

If you're concerned about sizes, I think the LG Sport Watch is bigger but along with its size, you get more screen and a higher resolution. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to improve on battery life for the LG even for its bigger size. I'm on the morning of Day 3 and I still have 62% battery power (granted I turn it off after 9pm and turn it back on at 6am). Lots of trade-offs. But I agree. You get a better experience with the Gear S3 if you have a Galaxy phone. Have you seen this article? http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-watch-sport-vs-samsung-gear-s3
EDIT: One of the best things I love about the S3 is Samsung Pay (way better than Android Pay). Never again do I pull my wallet out (except when I occasionally buy wine -- I still get carded LOL!)

That hasn't been my experience at all. I have a Moto G4 and my wife has a Huawei phone and the S3 works very well with either. I've paired it separately with both plus an older Moto E I and everything works without a hitch. I know there have been some hitches with the IPhone but I wouldn't touch one of those if my life depended on it so I can't comment there.
There isn't a huge difference in the S3 user experience with a Samsung phone versus other branded Android phones. Regardless, if integration with the Google ecosystem is paramount, an AW watch will fulfill those duties better than the S3. But the LG Sport has a few serious shortcomings compared to the S3: inferior battery life, fixed wristband (a comfort and customization issue), and lack of MST. The LG Sport is the best AW 2.0 watch on the market only because it's the only one on the market right now. I too am waiting, I just chose to do it while using the S3 in the interim.
Have the original Huawei watch.... Screens a bit burned in and looking for a replacement. Liked the HWatch, was ehhh with AW 2.0 so I'm fine with moving OS's. Looking around I don't see many options I really like outside of the S3 classic, however I have been reading nothing but horror stories about Tizen 3 update. Is it really that bad? If I'm going to be forced to run a nearly 18 month old watch on original firmware I might as well stick with what I got.
Any input to assist me here?

Have Gear S3 Classic LTE version Verizon, with 3.0 and no issues

I have the Gear S3 frontier on 3.0 and no issues. I get 2 - 3 days on a charge depending on the watch face.

I also came from the Huawei Watch v1 and just got the Gear S3 Classic yesterday. The reason I switched was because I also do not like Android Wear 2.0. Overall, I do like the Gear S3 but I also miss the app selection and support of Android Wear. If all you're going to use the watch is for notifications with simple replies, then the Gear S3 will work for you. However, if you're planning on using the watch as somewhat of a phone replacement, then the Gear S3 is severely lacking in that category. The reason why I state this is due to the lack of app developers that support Tizen.
Forget about native Google Maps support on your watch, texting is really only done via replies, Fidme for loyalty cards, i.g. Starbucks, is hit or miss, etc. Overall though, as I stated above, if your main goal is just to have notifications on your wrist, have Samsung Pay, and don't mind using S Health for fitness, then the Gear S3 is an awesome device. If you need anything more, you're better off going with Android Wear for the full application and developer support on the platform.
Title says it all. Anyone got any ideas since it doesn't look like Samsung is planning on releasing Tizen 4 for the S3?
I just want something better than S Voice. I have not used Bixby much, but surely it's better. For example, I would like to be able to call call "business name", and it do it, with it not being in contacts.
@mystik1
I'm the same way, but unfortunately "bixby" even on Tizen 4 is really just s voice with a bixby logo on it.

Bah, that's really too bad. I got the Gear S3 over a different smartwatch because of Samsung Pay. Then they didn't include what made it special with the Galaxy Watch (MST). I like the bigger battery in the Galaxy Watch, but I held out to buy it...then when it didn't have MST, I bought the Gear S3 instead. I like it for most else, but voice search is useless.
