not much, i think ppl try to kept the watch to minimal apps...since battery is limted... probably ppl would install uber and spotify

I unable to receive whatsapp notification, do I need to install another app?

Edit: Restart watch seems fine now.

what watch your using ? S3F ?

Can consider WatchMaker Watch Faces apps if you like custom watchfaces ( or those looks like luxury watch from Omega etc )

Android Wear doesnt require additional installation of Uber or Spotify apps specific for Android Wear. If your phone have uber or spotify already, AW will have function compatible to it.

ic..thanks for the info...

I don't have or never play with gear sport but I think I can confirm the HR is continuous as the reading keeps on moving even when I'm just sitting. I don't see myself needing or wanting that feature as I'd rather have longer battery life but I'm willing to give it a try tomorrow and see how much it affects battery life. Maybe you should buy it now. Lol.

new strap

lol great thanks for the feedback, this is after the new update right? yeah that's the only hiccup and another minor one would be V02Max but that is not a deal breaker.

Gear S3 Tizen 3 is here.


Attached thumbnail(s)

heard they say pls sync data before u update, else watever u havent sync all gone le.

Well most watches data don tend to stay....so if you wipe your phone or change your phone .... probably the data will be gone for good....unlike garmin and suunto which had presistance app

Yup after the update to Tizen 3.0. I'm monitory battery usage with continuous HR now.

I forgot to sync before update but in terms of apps all but one are still there. Watch faces including the ones from watchmaker also still ok. But all previous data from Samsung health are gone like steps count, floors count.

yes. the auto HR now has 3 options: always, frequent and never.

great, makes me tempting to buy gear s3.. looking for used unit lol.. anyone tried swimming with their gear s3?

Installed. Finally can hide the ugly icon in the face if not connected to phone.

i wonder if the touch screen will go wonky when touch water .... i know samsung phone can and do go wonky if there is water drop sliding on the touch screen surface

In the page http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s3/performance/, it mentions: *Not suitable for swimming or diving.

the concentration of chlorine will damage the waterproofing, so don't

Ah i see.. but i seldom swim so it's ok.. thanks for those input.
