Necessary? NEW! Recommended? YES!

Simple and intuitive to operate
Many possibilities
Looks decent
Another gadget I don't want to miss

Another party and package from Coolblue, but this time a party with a minus. That is not due to the Gear S3. Against my expectations it was Coolblue that disappointed me. The packaging of the gear S3 states that you should not accept the product if the seal is broken. Well, I didn't see the package opened until I broke 1 of the 2 seals. So there is no point in refusing the product. I proceeded to unpack and found that my S3 had already been in use. For example, the display was missing the foil that is normally on these types of items, and the inside of the watch strap already had wrinkles that showed that the watch had already been worn. Incidentally, it was otherwise in order and functions well, however, Coolblue should never have sold this as new. It should have been a so-called second chance. I picked it up in the store in Rotterdam where there was only 1 in stock at the time. It is a dent in my confidence in Coolblue, where I basically buy all my hardware, from smartphones, printers, to high-pressure cleaners and slow cookers. I don't look at where it can be cheaper, but at Coolblue's service and that was always OK except for this incident. So pay attention. About the gear, nothing but praise. I consider it one of my best purchases. Is it a necessary accessory? NEW. Can it do something my smartphone can't? NEW? Is it necessary? NEW? Would I buy one again? YES YES YES! Because it is such a fun and well-functioning gadget. If you like bells and whistles and especially statistics and sports, then it is a must have. I love to see in the morning how many hours I have slept deeply or restlessly and also to see how many hours I have walked, cycled or how many stairs I have walked, very accurate by the way, and how many calories that cost, how many kilometers , heartbeat and so on. Email and news are all possible too, but I don't look at that, nor at the countless other possibilities. Long story short, it's a totally unnecessary gadget, yet indispensable for freaks like me. He is perfect in his kind . The battery should last four days, but that's a bit optimistic. It's two days, without WiFi but with Bluetooth. Oh yes, on this watch you can also see what time it is, on one of the very many dials to choose from. So completely satisfied with it. Doubt? do not. To buy.

Review is 9,5 out of 10.

Simply the best at the moment

Rotate or swipe through the menus
Completely round
(Personally) the best smartwatch yet
the price is high (but you do get value for money)

1 word : very good smartwatch. It's the best I've worn so far. My first smartwatch was a moto360, then switched to an Asus Zenwatch. And now the Gear S3. The previous two smartwatches had a price of 200 euros, so the S3 is twice as expensive. I hesitated for a while to spend that much money on a timepiece, but now that I've been using this S3 for two weeks, it's really worth the money!

Watch : there are two straps with the movement : an S & L. I used the S and it fits perfectly ! Charger is very easy to use: magnetic holder, just put on the smartwatch (and then 'sticks' to the holder, as it were). Charging takes 1.5 to 2 hours.

Operating system : Tizen. I was always very happy with the possibilities of Android Wear. Never thought I'd find something better. Tizen is still limited with the programs, but the programs that are available just work superbly. No malfunctions and very fast. You can scroll through the apps via the rotating edge (or swiping). You can also easily sort them. You call up the application menu via the bottom button. The top button is the 'back' button. (If you press the bottom button three times quickly, you can send an SOS call). The standard notifications appear via a small subtle orange ball on the left (swipe and you see the notification) (you can also get the notification completely on screen via a setting). I have a Samsung S7 and on my S3 I can even scroll through my entire mailbox, as well as my messages. This is really pretty!

Battery: With always on, the screen lasts almost two days. That is a very good performance. If you do not leave the screen on, you can continue for at least three days.

Apps : As I said, you can view emails and messages in full. You can also just type on the S3 (or use speech). It's a small screen, but it works incredibly well. Typing happens like we all used to type on the first Nokia phones :p WhatsApp does not yet have the option to display the complete conversation history (only last notification). This is due to the app itself, not the S3. Hopefully that will change later on. And meanwhile, Spotify is also available as a standalone app! Now you can listen to spotify on the S3 via WiFi, the mobile is not even needed anymore (if there is WiFi)

The only thing I miss is the ability to put my watch into sleep mode. By that I mean turn off the screen with 1 simple action. Now I have to go into the 'Style' menu and turn off 'always on' there. Then put it on silent mode. Then the screen does not turn on with every rotation. That's the only flaw I can point to, so if it's just that.....

If the price is not an issue, then you should certainly not hesitate about this smartwatch. You will be very happy with it! And if the price is an issue, then just wait and hope the price drops. And then be happy! ;)
