Mine sometimes only last 1.5 days.
And there is some issue with the watch battery where it doesnt fully charged.
Always have to start using it at 85% level, only can last for 1 day.

All these only happened after upgraded to Tizen 3.0.

See 12 hours been running

Left 1 day and 19 hours

Estimate  2 days 7 hours.
*
12h use 31%
36h use 93%

so about 2 days max

Haha same here. I using pre install watch faces now.
The main reason i using pre install watch faces now because they have same AOD.
Many watch faces i tried, yes they look good when wake up but when going into AOD, they are totally different. sad.gif
2 - 3 days is normal for me. I don't know why others attack that guy.   sweat.gif

Yeah.. but one forummer here face similar issue
I'm gonna wait a few months more
Keep an eye here and xda

Also any comments with Samsung pay?

Using cc, cashier send the amount to the terminal, then put the cc in the terminal and we key in our pin

What's the procedure using Samsung pay?🤔

Cashier scan item
Tell her pay by paywave, she will ready the machine

Tap your watch Samsung pay button top right.
Watch will ask for pin
After pin press pay on your watch with your selected card
Tap on the terminal screen for paywave and if MST on the right side until you hear the machine beep.

Thanks for the info
Now cheapest s3 frontier at 11street 1259 with possible coupon rm50 to rm100 off

My fren at us coming back on Aug and nov, usd 270.. and with sales might lower to 240 to 250

Nope. But when you pay with your watch and the cashier jaw drop when the cc receipt comes out it's priceless then behind you alot eyes staring at you.

No international warranty. If you don't mind the looks gear sport is a better watch over the s3 frontier.  I research the heart rate is continuous but do not support MST beside that 5ATM.

But I personally prefer s3 frontier for its professional look

Gear sport is late 2017 latest version.



You can control certain apps with your watch too like Spotify ( premium only)  , Samsung multiroom, control dslr camera, get gps coordinate
*
Yeah I know about the sport version but don't have mst. Wanna try Samsung pay and Im frequently use cc as I don't like carry cash..

I am using Garmin vivosmart hr to track my 24h heart rate, calories burn and exercises

Frontier don't have continuous heart rate monitor for calories burn right?

U r right about paying with watch.. haha..

Am hoping for s4 that have continuous hr and mst. But looks like nd to wait next yr

In exercise mode if will be continuous but in normal mode It take few minutes interval of your heart beat that why sometimes I am awake the watch still do not know I am awake. The daily summary sometimes come slightly late.

Hahaha yea it's fun to see their reaction sometimes they won't allow you to pay sometimes they let you try and get amaze.

I only use the watch when my monthly transaction hit 50 because you don't get rewards point if pay by watch.  Must use phone.

Ain't no perfect smartwatch yet.. lol.. at least it still got auto detect exercises.. maybe s4 will got all the features.. and Samsung nd to find a way to extend the battery life if they wan to include 24h hr

Some store don't even have paywave and I was like seriously?

Point? Exclusive for smsung phone?
I'm fed up with Samsung battery life tbh.. was using note 3 previously
Now Lenovo p2 which is 5k mAh battery tat lasted me 2 days with single charge with at least 10h sot

This is with continuous heart rate turn on. If interval 10mins about 2 days ++

For a smart watch to last 2days+  is very impressive already most competition not even 2 days like tic watch.

There many ways to extend the battery life like power saving mode can extend up to 4 days, turn off wake up gesture, off bluetooth and etc.

*Battery life may vary depending on usage and settings.

damn... i wish those company will at least focus more on battery..
buy a product but cant fully utilize its potential due to within 12h the battery will die..

I don't know how others use their watch but here is mine. 90% can last 3 days. Maybe because today i no go out la. XD But i connected through bluetooth + wifi 24/7.
Anyway, when i bought this watch, battery is not my concern, i told myself, as long as it can last until i back home, it is enough for me because i know i can charge it every night before sleep. With charging dock provided, is it really that hard for these ppls to take off and put the watch on charging dock for charging before go to sleep? How lazy they can be?  blink.gif
My advice, if battery your main concern, then smart watch is not for you. Better do like my brother, get casual watch like DW or Gshock then you will be peace on mind.  rclxms.gif

1st, battery will deteriorate after 6 to 12 months and if u getting less than 24h battery life as of now, then after a year or so u gonna have to charge it through out the day.
2nd, u do know s3 frontier got slp, exercise and calories tracking? if 1 were to make use of those functions, of cos u nd at least 24h battery life to achieve that

if this were only smartwatch without the health tracking, yeah. i agree with what u said. if can last 12h a day, jz charge it every nite b4 slp. biggrin.gif

and from ss u seems like din on AOD? or u jz put the watch on table?

Yup. Previously I can get 2.5 days but I still charge at the end of 2nd day. Now ngam2 2nd day need to charge so no difference for me.
Gear s3 is more to fashion or occasions, no? It can do most of the fitness things but it's not the main purpose. There are fitness trackers which can do a lot more with more accuracy and longer battery life but they are not much of a looker. Most of wearables can't last long. I tried sleep tracker with gear s3 and battery drained quite a fair bit but it's too big and heavy to be worn while sleeping regularly to begin with. Lol. My android wear can last about 1.5 days. If you really want to utilise all the features I think it can lasts about a day but not 12 hours la. My watches more than 1 year already and I still can get about the same usage. When people ask me about smart watch I always tell them it's another device that they might need to charge every day. If they can't accept it, better look for normal ones.

samsung obviously trying to woo light health conscious user, hence the fitness features otherwise, scrap all that and it will have tremendous battery life for smartwatch
im looking for a hybrid fitness and smartwatch hence my selection either s3 or huaimi stratos 2. and gonna say, s3 looks sexier than stratos imo rclxms.gif

if samsung able to up their game in battery life, man, with that sexy design, hands down winner.. brows.gif

and those manufacturer wonder why smartwatches industry arent picking up in sales.. rclxub.gif

Or go for gear sport. I don't know about it's battery life but it looks more suitable for casual or light health conscious users. It's smaller than s3, and possibly more comfortable, and can track swim too. But I don't think it looks as good as s3. I tried using s3 to track workout but I really don't feel comfortable with it's size and weight. And maybe cause I'm using the classic version, it looks even weirder with shiny bezel and casing. Haha.
*
sport only have nfc while s3 got mst as well.. both give more or less battery life and yes sport looks ugly laugh.gif . plusn i dont do swimming..

i been thinking about classic version as well.. it give me a feel of gentlemen style while frontier manly look.. hmm.gif

S3 gear frontier been a hot cake everywhere sold out. I never like smart watches until s3 is one of the first complete one for our normal daily life and not those sports fanatic.

It looks professional
Able make payment
Better battery life than competition
Samsung health to track daily,weekly and monthly
Round face not square like apple
Awesome amoled display even under direct sunlight looks great
The best creation of Samsung is the rotating bezel rotate left notification, rotate right for apps
Can make calls and accept calls
Can reply messages if needed

I think what Samsung should improve here is

Yes battery life at least 7 days
Build quality the frame easy get scratch
Support Android wear apps
*
Yes.. agreed
I saw quite a few post here and there about frame easily get scratch.
Imo screen most important and the rotating still works fine.

so what your all guys think of the new galaxy watch....sound like rebranding from old watch to new one with little added feature like swim ready and slightly bigger battery life..... generally im not really impress

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..
