Отзывы о Умные часы Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

I'll start off by saying that I am a huge fan of Samsung. I have a Samsung TV, laptop, tablet, Phone, and now the watch. There's a reason that I have all of that--they make excellent products. Over the years I have migrated to them for products wherever possible, and I haven't regretted it. Now, onto the watch...

This is the third (more or less) generation of the watch, thus the name. I have owned all three, and I'll continue to upgrade them as fast as they offer them because I'm a tech junkie. :) So overall, I can say that the watch didn't lose ground on any of the landmark features, such as the tremendous bezel design to control menu functions. There is no watch out there by any manufacturer that can beat this design, in my opinion. It is intuitive, user friendly, and efficient.

But it isn't just the device, but the app is awesome as well. You can fully manage your device from either the watch itself, or through the app on the phone. It is a VERY well designed app and a wonderful addition to this top-notch hardware.

The watch is almost the same size as the last gen, depending on your version, but the Gen 3 is significantly lighter. If you hold the watches side by side--which I did--you can see how much thinner the casing is on the new one. But I don't mean that it is TOO thin by any means. But they definitely did a good job of shaving some weight, and you can feel it. The operating system is good as always--responsive and well designed. I can't say I have noticed a massive increase in performance over last gen, but time will tell.

They are great watches, but let me point out some of the changes that I felt weren't as favorable, at least to me. I'll point them out and you can decide for yourself if you care. Deal? Let's hit it!

The watch band: they went with an entirely new material this time around--leather or a facsimile of leather. The second I picked it up I grimaced. They felt HORRIBLY stiff compared to last gen, and I was dreading putting it on. I put it on and a couple of hours later, to my surprise, the material had loosed up a great deal. The difference was night and day, which I didn't expect. I haven't decided if I'll keep them or swap them out, but it was a huge improvement over my initial impression.

The button design: They went with a more traditional button design, and while they are certainly well done, I liked the last gen design much more. I felt the gen 2 buttons were sleek, unobtrusive and just didn't get in the way. I loved them--so I was sad to see them go.

They came out with a new charger design. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing--if it still works with the old chargers as well. But when I put the new watch on my Gen 2 charging station, it didn't want to recognize that the watch was present. I actually prefer the new design, but it is nice to be able to use old accessories wherever you can. Others may have a better experience, but that was mine. I will say this though, the Gen 3 charged shockingly fast compared to Gen 2. It was about 50% when I put it on the charger, and it went up to 100% in a VERY short period of time. I didn't track it since it was the initial charge, but it blew me away how quick it was. Battery life, likewise, is definitely improved, but I'll need to put in some more time for a more accurate analysis.

That's about it for the negatives, and like I said, many of you may not care about these things at all, but they were the items that stuck out to me. And of course I would have preferred that Samsung didn't have a proprietary operating system for their watches, because you can't buy any of the watch faces or apps for the phone on the Google Play store. Because of the smaller market, of course, there are fewer apps, watch-faces, etc, than you may see on other devices, although I have never felt limited by it in any way.

I'll also point out that while this devices is the version that let's it operate as a stand alone cellular device with its own phone number, I haven't included any of that in my review. I may add it in a later update. I will say that the speakers and microphone have always surprised me with their quality and performance for being in such a small form factor. Samsung knows what they're doing, and it shows.

So that's the verdict, folks. A great watch that has improved in most respects, but made some design choices that some may or may not like compared to past generations, but overall it is a solid upgrade that moves the platform in a positive direction. I hope this helps some of you make a more informed decision, but I don't think you'll be unhappy with the purchase.

I really like this watch is awesome in keeping track of my physical activity and it offers many other things. One problem that I had with my LTE version is that I couldn't got it to sync with my at&t number, I visited and called so many times the AT&T facilities and protech team. What actually worked for me to get the number sync correctly was the description of RigelKent. He described step by step what to do in order to get done and it actually worked... I believed nobody on the support team from at&t knows about this setup so don't waste your time and just read the review and do it on your own. Thank you RigelKent you helped me a lot!!!

Before purchasing this watch, I read all the reviews about the LTE version of this watch from Amazon not working/linking/connecting to Verizon's data plan. I was skeptical on purchasing this watch from Amazon because of this since my cell phone data plan is with Verizon. But I'm here to tell you that the LTE version of this watch from Amazon does in fact work/connect properly to Verizon's data plan. I had absolutely NO problems or trouble adding this watch to my Verizon cell service. All you have to do is use the Samsung Wearable app on your phone, and it will guide you through the entire process, which took about 5 minutes to complete. That's it! I did not have to contact Samsung or Verizon whatsoever. It was so simple that a 5-year-old could do it. Obviously, these other reviewers who had issues connecting to their Verizon cell service data plans either had defective watches or (the most likely cause) did not attempt to use the Samsung Wearable app to add their watches to their Verizon data plans.

Pros - Bought the watch for running and biking tracking which has provided more than I expected. I get very accurate GPS, heart rate, VO2. I can easily download playlists and use AirPods to listen while I run. Good bye phone strapped to my hip! Syncs with Strava seamlessly. Battery life is more than acceptable during exercie. Was able to run 10 miles and still have over 70% battery remaining. Bonus feature of sleep tracking has been really interesting. Works decent for short phone call like a speaker phone with bluetooth.

Cons - Only really disappointment has been the fact I've been unable to activate as a standalone LTE device. ATT says I must have a Samsung phone on their network to pair with numbersync. Unfortunately, my primary phone is a work phone through Verizon. So I've been unable to take advantage of the LTE capability.

I owned the previous Galaxy S3 which was a little bulky for my wrist. This new version is significantly thinner and lays better on my arm. I slapped on an inexpensive stainless and ceramic band and get frequent compliments on this watch. At release there was an issue with NumberSync on the ATT network which is required for LTE functions. That issue was resolved in a recent software update.

I've owned a fair amount of smartwatches in my time: two Apple Watches, one Android watch (the LG Style), and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (first generation). While the Apple Watches are great devices and easy to use, I have to say that my current smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 41mm has by far been the most enjoyable for me to use. As far as looks, this is one classy baby! An actual round face so it actually looks like a watch lol. The skin Samsung puts on the watch is so perfect! It complements the round display, and is every bit as intuitive as Apple's WatchOS (yet so much more useful!). I have a Samsung Galaxy S20, so it syncs perfectly with my phone. I have also enjoyed putting different watch faces on it, and am so spoiled for choice on the Galaxy Store! I realize I am rambling a bit, so I'll just keep it short: this is worth the splurge!

The watch is great, but I honestly found the Active 2 to be more practical what I needed it for (mostly physical activities and receiving notifications). The leather band does not look durable so I would look into investing in other bands.

I had very high hopes for this smartwatch. Looking forward to the health tracking features and I timed my purchase well. The ECG feature was released in the US the day before my new watch was delivered. According to the product description, the watch should work seemlessly with any newer android phone with the latest version of android. This is not entirely accurate. After trying for hours to get the new ECG functionality to work I came across some fine print on the Samsung website that indicated that you needed the Samung watch 3 AND a Samsung Galaxy phone to use the new health monitor app. Not having a Samsung phone makes this feature unavailable to me. Makes this feel like an Apple product to me :)

Already processed a return. Shame on you Samsung. Will avoid Samsung in the future.

Don't spend your money that's really worse watch specially battery life i never expect to samsung made this watch

Great features and looks. But battery life sucks. Even after reducing the number s app on the phone, need charging every day. Fitbit versa had a better battery life.

What a great watch! Battery life lasts more than a day, not as good as my old Fitbit Ionic. This watch is fully customizable!

Very nice watch.. does pretty much the same is the competition but looks elegant or sporty (based on preference)

100% worth paying the price !!!

Amazon shipped us an open box item (broken seals were immediatelyapparent), bezel has scuffs on the underside.

Best decision e er!

Superb watch and this is from someone coming from Apple Watch. However, wasted 4hrs with Verizon techs in trying to do all sort of things. Verizon could not get watch activated. Returning it back to Amazon and now buying from Verizon directly. Hopefully that will work.

I got the unlocked version and it worked on Verizon, so I don't think that's still an issue.

if you want a smartwatch no matter battery life is a good option, the screen on direct sun conditions is poor. As a 100% sport watch I recomend others like Garmin watches.

I love this watch I've been using it for a few weeks no and I have no complaints

Very Good!

At first I was extremely disappointed with the watch since I couldn't numbersync it through AT&T, or use LTE; until I found a workaround.

This is the workaround I found on an AT&T Forum for the Numbersync and LTE issues.

"I had exactly the same problem as you. I had the Galaxy Watch Active 2, and mobile data stopped working when I installed the update R835USQUIATF2 that came out a couple of weeks ago. I traded in the Watch Active 2 for the Galaxy Watch 3 with firmware R845USQU1ATFE, and the problem persisted. I could make phone calls and text from the watch using the built in phone number, but mobile data would not connect, and I could not generate a code so Numbersync would allow me to share the same number with my phone.

I think the problem is the latest firmware from Samsung does not configure the APN for the Internet Connection properly, so you cannot get mobile data. If you go to Settings/Connections/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names you will see two different APNs: one for "Internet Connection" and one for "MMS Connection". The default APN for both is set to "ATTnextgenphone", but I think the one for Internet Settings is screwed up. It won't let you connect to the 4G LTE network, and when the watch is paired to a phone it won't allow you to change the APN. It is greyed out and disabled.

Fortunately, I found a workaround by pairing the Galaxy Watch 3 to my phone, adding the network settings, and then resetting the watch and unpairing it from my phone so I could set it up in standalone mode. To set the watch up in standalone mode, you have to leave the AT&T network settings on the watch in paired mode and then reset it. When the watch reboots, scroll down at the yellow "Let's Go" screen until you see two icons that look like a question mark "?" and a globe. Press on the "?" icon to set the watch up in standalone mode. It will ask you to connect to WiFi so you can enter your Samsung userID and password, and it will allow you to continue using the AT&T network settings you added when the watch was paired to your phone.

Once the watch is set up in standalone mode, go to Settings/Connections/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names, and you should now be able to create a new APN for your Internet Connection. The new APN should be set to "phone" instead of "NXTGENPHONE". You can name the new APN you create whatever you want, but the second entry needs to be set to "phone" instead of "NXTGENPHONE". The rest of the entries can be left blank.

After saving the new APN setting and selecting it, reboot the watch and turn off WiFi. You should be able to connect to the mobile network, and see the little "4G LTE" icon next to the signal bars. Now your watch is receiving mobile data in standalone mode, and using the phone number on the watch. It will not receive notifications from your phone because it is not paired via Bluetooth, and you can only install apps using the Galaxy Store on the watch instead of the Galaxy Wear app on your phone. However, you can still generate a Numbersync code and share the same phone number as your phone by going to att.com or the myAT&T app. Go to the device you want to share a number with in your wirless settings at att.com, and click on "Manage Numbersync". There will be a link for you to enter the code generated by your watch.

If you want to receive notifications from your phone again and use the Galaxy Wear app to install new apps, go to Settings and press "Pair with a New Phone". The watch will reboot, and you can pair it to your phone normally. The mobile data settings and Numbersync settings you added in standalone mode should still be working, so you can continue to use mobile data and Numbersync, even when the watch is paired via Bluetooth.

I hope that helps. I know this is complicated, but it worked for me. I think Samsung needs to issue a new firmware update so the APN for Internet Connection is configured properly.

I've had my G3 for a few days now and I'm absolutely loving it. The customization with thousands of watch faces available (especially is you use the Facer app) is amazing. The watch itself (Bluetooth, not LTE) was a breeze to set up. It paired with my Galaxy S8 in minutes.

I'm not much of an exercise buff but I do love the health features. I'm using my watch to count calories, monitor my heart rate and thanks to a recent update, it can measure my blood oxygen levels as well. With the ECG approval in the US last week, I'm fairly sure that will be coming as an update in the near future as well. I do like the sleep tracking app. It works automatically and has been giving me some insight into my sleep patterns and how much sleep I'm actually getting. I've not tested it for very long but so far it *seems* fairly accurate.

The watch itself is slim and lightweight for what it does. The buttons are easily accessible and I'm loving the rotating bezel. It makes navigating very smooth - no reason to touch the screen just to get somewhere. I'm finding the Tizen 5 OS to be easy to navigate (once you get the hang of it). The only thing I didn't like was the stock leather watch strap. It's so stiff on first getting it out of the box that the watch was having trouble getting good heart rate readings. I swapped it out with a $8 watch band and now the watch is working perfectly and fits snugly on my wrist.

A few other things - I've got my brightness set to 3 (out of 10) and it's fine! I can see the watch face perfectly in sunlight or at night in the dark. At this point in time I've been wearing my watch for about 14 hours straight (7.5 of that sleeping) and my battery is at 73%. This is with me checking time often (new watch!), getting text and email notifications and occasionally just noodling around with the watch because it's cool. According to the Wear app, I've got about 1 day 14 hours of batter life left. So that's a little over 2 days of use without charging. I understand that it takes a few charging cycles as well and that time should expand a little bit.

I'm loving this watch. Was it something I absolutely needed? No. Am I very happy with it? Yup!

Absolutely love this watch! My wife had the apple watch and now it sits in a drawer. This is literally the perfect smart watch. Like the original galaxy watch it has the physical rotating bezel which is a game changer! Not sure how this works with and iPhone but with samsung's superior phones it is flawless. Very handsome watch with tons of features and astonishing, health care grade tracking, (you should not solely rely on it obviously) and the on board constant tracking of heart and blood pressure can and will likely save lives.

TLDR: There's nothing about this watch that is better than the original Galaxy Watch. Save your money and get the old one. And Samsung's customer service/support is terrible. All they ever do is tell you to send the product in for repair, because they know that only a fraction of people will do that. So they can act like they are willing to help while putting you through massive inconvenience because their product is subpar. There's a reason that Samsung's site doesn't let you put a review of this watch on it.

I can't express how disappointed I am with this purchase. I had a Galaxy Watch and I loved it. Hands down the best smartwatch to use with an android phone I came across. So when the Galaxy Watch 3 came out, I bought it from Samsung on launch day. I thought I'd be getting the same internals with added features, and I was particularly excited about the run analysis and VO2 stats that were supposed to be available soon after launch (they released the update on launch day, so they delivered that).

My first disappointment was that there were only silver and bronze options for the 41mm watch. I have small wrists, but both of the colors are horrible. I got the silver, which is a shiny silver case with a black bezel. In person it looks like the cheapest watch I could find on a street corner in Hong Kong.

Then, when the watch arrived, and I went through all of the updates and pairing procedure, the software downloaded a non-US version of the update, which meant that the run analysis and VO2 stats don't work for me at all. I reset the watch hoping that everything would reupdate with the correct update, but apparently the factory reset doesn't remove the update. I tried Samsung customer service, who told me to reset the watch and if that didn't work, I'd have to send it in for repair. A brand new watch needs repair.

Bottom line, there's nothing about this watch that is better than the original Galaxy Watch. Save your money, just buy the old one. The chip's the same, the battery is smaller, the additional sensors have a chance to not work because Samsung's own software downloads the wrong thing, and the colors are better on the old one.
