Received following update today.
Improves battery usage: Should have been implemented on the initial release. Samsung really dropped the ball. We should all get a new Gear S3. Wait!! I DID!!! Only took 3 returns, 3 different repair center results. Only one of the returns was battery related. All were result of heart-rate-monitor issues.
Received new watch from sammy on December 13th with tizen 2.3.2.1. That tells me sammy had no confidence in tizen 3 up to 7 days ago (adj for shipping).
I won't be updating to the full tizen 3 anytime soon. Ain't going through that battery crap again.

Where are you from? I heard that only Canadian Gear S3 are allowed to receive this update yet. Tks.
Well, I took my S3 watch off the charger this morning with battery at 100% and performed this small update right then. When it was done with the update, the battery was then 56%. Interesting... Now I hope there's enough time to charge it back up to 100% before I leave for work this morning. Hum...
Update: In the few minutes time it took me to type up the reply above, my S3 watch is now showing 72% after just a few minutes on the charger. Hum...

Tell me please how to force this update on my watch?

I Have the latest (?) version Tizen 3.0.0.1 (BT version watch).
R760XXU2CQK3
When checking for update (tried more than ones and more than one day), I get notification:
"Unable to update the software. A network or server error occured. Try again later".
Watch is connected to network. Tried also another network. But same result.
Checking if watch makes a good network connenction: I can install watchfaces etc. So this is not the problem.
Anybody any idea? Someting wrong with de Samsung server?

I received that a few times. Maybe it's something to do with them updating their servers with the new Tizen 3 they're releasing now for the people still on Tizen 2. I'd give it a few days if it keeps up.
For anyone wondering how battery life is after the mini update, it has been absolutely amszing. Any questions just ask away friends.
I did the battery fix update two days ago. With AOD on, my battery is draining fast. Did a reset 1.5 hours ago, and the watch is at 85%. I was getting the same drain before my reset.
KingVekxon, is your AOD on?

Not at all, no need for an AOD. Especially when I have my phone on my person so much and I'd rather just press the button on my watch, if I don't have my phone. No need to waste battery unnecessarily ya know?
With AOD you're never going to get a good battery life

Not for me yet.
Just a heads up. My battery life tanked after the update regardless of what I did. What fixed it was recharging a couple times. For some reason that worked.

No, it's really crazy that the $300 version of the Gear S2 still does not have automatic sleep tracking. I wish I could just flash it to the generic Samsung 3g firmware and be done with T-Mobile, but it doesn't seem to be a possibility (I started a thread here, but no responses so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-3g-t-mobile-version-flash-to-t3518844 ).
I'd also complain to T-Mobile directly, maybe if enough of us complain, they'll do something about it.

Hi rogerperk,
I have same Gear S2 732 in same firmware as you (in France), and for me too, battery drain is present
Sure, not as much as you, but now, I've got a "low battery alert 15%" at 23h00 when, before, I get to bed at 00h30 with 35-40% battery left ! For sure, there is something that change (same watchface as before) !
Sadly, 2 charging (and even more than 10 actually) dont change anything for me
Best regards
Not good. I recharged mine a couple times and did a factory reset and that seemed to do it. I'm actually getting far better battery life now. Over 24 hours and I'm only at 77%! I hope that keeps up! I cut out alot of stuff I don't use like NFC and constant wifi and heartrate checks. That sort of stuff.

Hi, bought a gear s3 a few days ago and will recieve soon, after looking for a bit on the forums i had to ask if i should update to the latest tizen os version when i recieve it, but sounds like the battery issues are a big problem and i dont want to mess up my new watch, so is it worth it to update or just skip and wait for a new version to roll out in the near future? Thanks

Hmmm nice battery life... Remotely connected is when your out of bluetooth range and your gear connects to wifi. Youd still be able to recieve messages. Handy if your charging your phone, when your in the gym and have to leave your phone in the locker and connected to the wifi, etc....
Will move again to version 2.3 coz its not working for me using 2cqk3 and 2cql1.
Will just wait for samsung to fix it in their next update

The size of the update is 11.79MB. So it looks to be a small one.
CHANGELOG:
Improved battery charging algorithm and stability
Security enhancement for features/apps in Gear S3.

Not sure Samsung will ever upgrade Gear S3 to Tizen 4.0, at least not for a long time, I'm sure Samsung will keep the latest version to the recently announced Galaxy Watch, leaving the Gear S3 in the dark with the terrible Tizen 3.0.
R760XXU2CRH1 for classis or Fri tier too?
Does this new update apply to the gear S3 frontier too with 3G or just the S3 classic?
TIA!
At the moment SM-R760 and SM-R770...
And as you know... LTE devices follow "later"...
Now idea how much later...
So no idea when SM-R765? and SM-R775? series will get newer update...
? is placehoöder for A-Z
SM-R765(S) Korea
SM-R765(K) Korea
SM-R765(L) Korea
SM-R765A US
SM-R765V US
SM-R765T US
SM-R765F Singapore
SM-R765N New Zealand
So it makes sense to check exact Model Name...

I received the update yesterday but I haven't applied it yet. My Gear S3 with T 3.0.0.2 has been working great so I wanted to come check here before updating. I don't want their security patch to break Samsung Pay on my watch.
Funny, any problems I had with my S3 disappeared as soon as I dumped my Samsung phone and got a Pixel XL 2.
Hi ! Where could I find the current CSC on my R760 and is there a list of all CSC and their country meaning? Thanks in advance.

I'm not having that experience. I've been off charge 18 hours and dropped from 97% to 75% (Around 1% per hour)
I left this morning at 7 am with 94% battery and at 10:34pm still had 83% battery. So 11% in 15.5 hours. I was having issues after taking the CRH1 update about 5 days ago. 65% in about 12 hours. I removed all gear apps on phone, reset the watch and set it all back up after the update and battery is really good.
Any chance that our Gear S3 Frontier will get the Tizen 4.0.0.7 upgrade like the Galaxy Watch ?
They are almost the same watches... and the new upgrade would bring some interesting things ...
Chance is very low in 2019... because only 1 month left...
But maybe in 2020...
Best Regards
I see many people buying S3 still. Prices are way down now so its a good deal. Would be shame if they wouldnt update. Im still waiting for HR alarms they promised long time ago. Manual of the device got already updated to have this functionality but the watch did not.
whats the difference between 4.0.0.4 and 4.0.0.7? I have both and the Galaxy watch did got an update few days ago(didn't checked the version tho) but not the S3, still running 4.0.0.4
I can't see any "signs" on SM-R600 nor Gear S3 family...
Maybe reached End of Live...
So I am pretty sure NO Firmware updates in 2019... for Gear S3.

I hear a lot of concerns about battery life, but on my G3 Frontier, which stays on 24/7, is worn all the time, save for a shower, having the flip wrist to wake up and rotate the bezel to wake up off, I'm getting a little over 3 1/2 days of battery life. My phone goes off at 11pm to 6am with no wi-fi to keep it connected. I can charge it on Sunday night, take it off the charger and put it on, and Thursday afternoon, the battery will be at 18%.
Anyone else get that kind of battery life?

My notifications issue got resolved after the update.

Notifications issue got resolved but battery drain issue is back.
Sometimes it is behaving normally but sometimes it is draining very fast.
Yesterday my phone went from 15% to 1% within 2mins, while i was just using whatsapp with no background apps running.
Battery is draining faster than before.
No update here actually PD1805F_EX_A_8.12.0 is last update available for my NEX...
But when u loose 14% in 2 minutes... howto say... i'm not excited...
Did u full charge cycle 3/5 times after update, u don't activate extra feature like visual notifications eye candy feature who drain battery for nothing ?
