Amazon RenewedSAMSUNG GEAR S3 FRONTIER Smartwatch 46MM (Bluetooth Only) - Dark Grey (Renewed)

It’s a good watch but it has problems charging sometimes if it goes completely dead

I received a Fitbit in the first package, so was a little disappointed, but the seller responded immediately to phone/emails and sent the correct product out the same day.The watch was in generic packaging but there was not a single scratch or scuff on it, I couldn't tell it from new. The charger is aftermarket, I've never had a Samsung one to compare, but it charges the watch wirelessly in two hours from almost zero charge.Even being a new user and playing with it constantly, battery life is 20+hrs, I actually bought a second charger for work but haven't had to use it yet. I've used it as a phone a couple of times, it works well - I'm in IT so if I'm under a desk somewhere it's handy to have the call make/receive feature.I love getting my email and text on the watch, I'm able to respond by voice or quick reply without having to get my phone out, which is great. I really didn't think I'd be all that impressed as I usually wear a regular watch and bought it on a lark but I have grown to really like this watch.I didn't review the sleep tracking as I don't use the feature, but the other health features (heartbeat/steps/calories burned) seem spot on and have made me aware of my general health, the watch senses if you have been sitting for an hour plus and suggests you get up and move around or at least stretch at your desk.I even bought a metal band thinking I wouldn't be happy with the rubber band but have yet to fit it due to the comfort of the rubber band.After I downloaded two apps, the watch linked seamlessly with my Metro (T-Mobile) Motorola G Stylus that is itself a couple or three years old. The available apps and watch faces are all I need for now, overall a solid purchase.Overall, even though the watch is a few generations behind, I'm amazed at how happy I am with my purchase.

I really love technology and devices. I purchased this refurbished Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smart Watch because I am not afraid of refurbished devices as I purchase them quite a bit for less than the usual and customary price. I was very excited to get my watch but after having it a day or two I realized the battery life really sucks. The watch is bulky the way that like and it is also very sturdy. The bevel interface is a very nice feature making it very easy to access the apps.The apps are plentiful and you have S Health, step tracker, heart rate monitor, Samsung Pay, Bixby, you can text people back from the watch and of course answer your calls. You can do so much more. Again this is a great time piece.The only issue I have is the battery life. I reached out to Amazon to reach out to the seller on my behalf to see if the battery could be replaced. Even at this point the Seller have not contacted me back. So I know going forward I would not purchase from this seller again.The Samsung Gear S3 FrontierThis is my update as of 4/13/2024, my Smart watch has completely died. It will not come on as it has been on the charger for 4-6 hrs. As time went on the watch would die half way through the day. Again the seller never reached out after my initial concern. I just wanted him to replace the battery. Do not order from the seller as he does not stand by his refurbished product.

I needed this to stay updated with messages while working (chef). Honestly was not expecting too much, but was pleasantly surprised with its features.I can accept and take calls, texts, messages. Weather updates, news, other notifications. The health part is a little strange for me, since I am literally taking thousands of steps per day walking around the restaurant the entire day.The rubber strap works well with hands being washed constantly, and is comfortable.Negative- original one I purchased as an Amazon guaranteed refurbished product had a battery that ended up overheating while charging every single time. It would never fully charge, but stop every 15 or 20%, and the watch would be extremely hot. I reached out to Amazon customer service and explained the entire situation and they said they ordered another to be sent in another two days. The replacement works fine! Still keeping watch on the battery.Also, the battery life of the watch drains faster than I want, so I only use it while working.The Bluetooth distance from phone is about 15-20 feet.

The watch runs very well. It synchronized nice and easy with my Samsung phone. The watch has been running smoothly since I charged it three days ago and still has 39% battery. The only issue was the charger that came with the watch. It overheat the watch while charging and the watch screen was showing the overheating alert. I waited until the watch cooled down, and put it to charge my original charger that I had from my old S3 Frontier eight years ago. Then the watch charged without problems. In general I am very happy with this watch.
