QUOTE(NyD-WiLL @ Mar 22 2018, 12:37 AM) Haha same here. I using pre install watch faces now. Yeah.. but one forummer here face similar issueThe 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. 2 - 3 days is normal for me. I don't know why others attack that guy. I'm gonna wait a few months more Keep an eye here and xda Also any comments with Samsung pay? Which bank cc u guys use? This post has been edited by xcxa23: Mar 22 2018, 08:58 AM |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 22 2018, 09:10 AM) Cashier scan item Thanks for the infoTell 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. 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 🤔 But I don't think Samsung got international warranty right? |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 22 2018, 09:43 AM) 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. 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.. 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 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 This post has been edited by xcxa23: Mar 22 2018, 10:21 AM |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 22 2018, 10:27 AM) 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. 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 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. 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 post has been edited by xcxa23: Mar 22 2018, 10:36 AM |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 23 2018, 10:14 PM) This is with continuous heart rate turn on. If interval 10mins about 2 days ++ damn... i wish those company will at least focus more on battery..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. buy a product but cant fully utilize its potential due to within 12h the battery will die.. |

QUOTE(NyD-WiLL @ Mar 24 2018, 01:00 AM) [attachmentid=9686099] 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. 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? 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. 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. and from ss u seems like din on AOD? or u jz put the watch on table? |

QUOTE(singgung @ Mar 24 2018, 12:12 PM) 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. 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 smartwatchGear 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. 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 if samsung able to up their game in battery life, man, with that sexy design, hands down winner.. and those manufacturer wonder why smartwatches industry arent picking up in sales.. |

QUOTE(singgung @ Mar 24 2018, 12:29 PM) 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 i been thinking about classic version as well.. it give me a feel of gentlemen style while frontier manly look.. |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 24 2018, 01:20 PM) 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. Yes.. agreedIt 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 I saw quite a few post here and there about frame easily get scratch. Imo screen most important and the rotating still works fine. |
