Just wondering, I notice alot of user reported that tizen 3.0 had some issue with overheating causin watch not fully charge (unless in power saving mode) and also battery drain .... but seeing not much as reported here, is it isolated case ? anyone had tizen 3.0 update mind share your thought ?

Planing to get back gear s3 but seeing this issue halted me

It's been reported and discussed here and few other samsung phone threads. The overheat and not fully charged is an issue for sure. Some still face it till today. I faced it but only early on. Haven't faced it in few months already. Battery drain is noticeable too. Overnight while not connecting to anything mine drains about 1% an hour which never happened before 3.0. Daytime is understandable cause I set heart rate monitor to 'always'  instead of 'interval'. It's still ok though. I can get 2 days out of a single charge.

Should i hold for new gear this year, since the price is still strong ? hmm.gif

Why nobody here go for gear sport?
*
With the sport you get Smaller Screen, Smaller battery, no MST payment (you can only pay with NFC on wireless wave only, Cant used on the swipe card machine) heck even the strap also smaller (20mm instead of 22mm)... and only good thing is it comes with 5 ATM and swimming compatibility (in which again samsung warranty does not guarantee repair if the watch ever fail with water damage), Plus the price isnt much different from those Classic and Frontier model.

Those Classic and Frontier model still hot item, Each time when ppl throw own in the second hand, immediate it been sold off.... hmm.gif

I guess its due to the looks. I like gear s3 because of the looks. It looks professional while elegant retaining its premium feel.

Sports looks similar to their competition so i guess when you compare sports and similar competition there many choice but once you take out gear s3 frontier and classic its a different ball game.
*
One thing that reminds me .... Sport does look similar to Classic except for the body shape.... rclxms.gif
But one thing i cant help be bother is why don Samsung just engrave the bezel marking on frontier instead of just print a layer of coating infront

To be very frank, to me that's no clear winner as such, just that's what is a must feature for you, for example if you want samsung pay then clearly the S3 is the only option. In general if you compare among all the WearOS watches, I like both the Casio and the Ticwatch S but the Casio cost almost double of the Ticwatch S. I think another important point is about the OS, i guess since WearOS is developed by Google so higher chances we will gets more features update in the future.
*
Not only that but your convenience to received call and talk to ppl from wrist rather had having lashing out you phone.... i find it useful when you hand are fully tight off (Driving and carrying thing with both hands)..... i don think any of the WearOS can do that yet though i wish there were one.... but sadly Gear s3 call feature are exclusively for samsung devices. Newest Garmin watch have it too but also sadly it is only for apple devices at the moment.... sad.gif

Actually, seems like nth new compare to gear S3 apart from the bigger battery
Also not sure if galaxy wear support NFC/spay as well
Can't find any info on this

Been holding of from buying S3 frontier but...
Wait for review..
*
Most website had said it comes with only NFC.....no MST pay which is a bummer that samsung remove those...else it would be a convenience watch....furthermore the water proofing just only 5ATM....mean light water splash is OK but going on a dive and high power water spray might potential kill the watch

If you already own a gear s3 then the new galaxy is not really a WOW watch. If you are the first time using it then it worthy to get

i guess, now S3 would be in good price to get thumbup.gif
Just wonder if the battery life is what as mention....got to wait for the review hmm.gif

I quite happy with the gear s3. I just charge every 2 days or charge it when i am charging my phone. Been using it as a fitness tracker alot but once i love is the samsung pay with NFC /MST. Its sad samsung remove MST from all the future models.

Yeah.. samsung tot whole world using NFC and abandon MST.
And the claim battery life should be more or less on par with S3

Perhaps there's no more stock/production for S3 hence the pricing still strong.. even Samsung msia don't have stock listed for S3.. usually they gonna push hard to clear old stock
*
i wont say it will par with S3 but given or take i think it still a little improvement to s3 maybe by a day or 2.....

I dont think they removed Mic from Galaxy Watch. The fact that they have Bixby built in, there should be a Mic to receive Voice Input

Strangely the website never point out the microphone (S3 do have point out) but i think your right with Bixby command that does need voice to activate hmm.gif

Just update gear wear app ...seem remove the support for gear s3 and s2 button in favour for sport and galaxy watch....though you can still connect using the "mine not here" button

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Aug 14 2018, 01:45 PM)
No can use without internet because all the watch does is send your credit card info to terminal. Bank still need verify your account

Thanks for the advice.

First Galaxy watch Unbox in youtube and quick run through.... Skip ahead of 1:23, beginning video just trolling only



First impression, everything seem the same, software abit snappy in the video.... but colour is Silver, really Samsung...and the ticking sound like real watch...that just gimmick and waste of battery :/

For wear os Timer function a bit cumbersome with fiddly touch screen.  easier to use digital dumb watch for this purpose.  Maybe if use ok Google better.  But ok Google is buggy with wear  os 2.0 upgrade.  the watch sometime lose connection to the internet and goggle assistant becomes useless.

Calculator function yeah,  most dumb watch don't have this function.

Viewing monthly calendar instead of daily.... or perhaps Personal work out trainer to remind you how fat you are just by sittin for one hour rclxms.gif

Cashless payment may look old for tech savy ppl but still it impress most ppl when it actually work on the payment, im surprise laugh.gif
