For anyone wondering if it fits, measure your wrist at top part (wrist bone to bone) and remove 5 mm (0.19 inch) from it, that is the max size of lug to lug you should wear (lug to lug is the part that hold your strap/band) the lug to lug size of the 45mm version should be 54mm (2.12inch) lug to lug, the 41mm version should be 4.66cm (1.83 inch) lug to lug. If you see this comment please like it so itll help more people pick the correct size for their wrist!
Thanks for the tip. I tried both 45mm (Garmin Forerunner 255) and 40mm (Samsung Galaxy Watch 4) - 40mm looks better on my wrist. So after I read your tips, I also got the 40mm as better choice (had to use plastic ruler instead of measuring tape, though 😅).
They skipped the "watch 2" to avoid confusion with the Active 2, so they called it the watch 3,...I guess nobody would confuse it with the S3 Classic or S3 Frontier...
Awesome honest coverage Chris... I have been waiting on this one. Initial thoughts, not too tempted to buy any more.. almost identical to the 2 - specs wise... let's see...

Correct. They're also NOT waterproof and no warranty is offered against water damage at ANY depth, despite multiple installed swim profiles out of the box, and a manual that includes instructions to rinse the watches under fresh water on occasion.

My two questions: Is heart rate working, or is it still a randomly generated number, that has nothing to do with the actual heart beat, like in the galaxy watch 2? Did they finally include interval runs?
Gorgeous watches, they will last for years reliability is a 10, built like a tank. They are waterproof Samsung is the best smart watch on the market period.
Hi thank you for your review - please can you tell me 1) can i make payments with the watch like on my garmin and can i make phone calls from the watch (do i have to have my phone with me all the time)
Are you using a Samsung phone or another android device? I want to buy it, but do not have a Samsung phone. I have heard mix reviews about using it with something other than a Samsung phone.
When excercising it's preferrable to swap the leather band for a sports band.. Is this a smooth thing to do or are little pliers or other tools needed for this 'operation', like on a classic watch ? I don't see myself x times a week doing an annoying wristband swap.
The Mystic Bronze does look gorgeous! Though I'd of liked the bigger screen version. I have the Active 2 and there really isn't a great deal of improvements and the Watch 3 is pricey!
@Ron Terlitsky that is absolute bullshit i am lifting heavy weights regularily and i still have small to medium wrists just because i am not the tallest person out there
Hanging onto my galaxy watch 46mm, mainly due to the bigger battery, MST/NFC, sleeker buttons and the only slight incremental upgrades on this new one. Blood pressure & O2 levels are a nice addition, as well as the titanium casing coming out later this year
And also taking in consideration the "Health features" that they are advertising the watch with, just like Active 2 and that they never came. Removed the SP02 and the ECG was never enabled and now focusing on the new devices, we Active 2 users got screwed.
Samsung pay... no Google pay..... works with my santander debit card... but rejected my 2x credit cards saying not compatible...both credit cards are mastercard for large highstreet banks.... it was the credit cards I wanted to use so disappointed
You said it can control Spotify. Can I use the Spotify app on the watch without my phone. I.e so I canngo for a jog ans nor bring my phone? And, can I use Bluetooth earphones and connectn to watch?
I've thought of that but they'll give me $100.00 for my watch now. It's a toss up because if I wait price may go down but upgrade price will also go down.
hey mate, after 5 6 months, does it still worth to get it? or wait for a new model. maybe they can fix the battery problem. is there any phone to go with this watch? any suggestion? thanks
I'll have to see the in depth review. It's tempting me but I know most people that have bought previous galaxy watches have been left rather disappointed and I don't want to spend £400 on a piece of junk. But the design is rather compelling to me and it seems to have included everything that I'm after in a smart watch so it might just have to be the one.
Would you recommend buying this piece of wearable? I've never had a smartwatch before and would love to get one. I'm using Android as my OS. I like the design better than the Apple watches, so I thought this would be the best match.
Thanks for the review! do you know if there is a smart alarm function? So your watch alarm wakes you up in the best part of your sleep cycle? like in fitbit versa2? I'm deciding between this and active 2... not sure if the fall detection and rotating bezzle is worth double the price.... is there anything else that sets it apart from the active 2?

Yes they mentioned it at the unpacked. it was given fda approval. they said the update will be pushed out to the active 2. lets hope this includes the uk.

Hi, fantastic video once again. Love your reviews. Could you please review the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 when they're out and also comparison of the Sense with the galaxy watch 3 please. Best wishes.
So does anybody know what the batter life is like as my gear frontier has just given up after 2 years service and all the while had rubbish battery life less than 24 hours especially if you have daily activity. Is the 3 any better than the 2
Nice video! For me I'm keeping my galaxy watch, don't like the new buttons makes it look like a stop watch. (Not a good look) and the first watch rotating bezel had a diamond like effect on the top, don't see it on new version 👎🏾
Theres nothing wrong with the original galaxy watch buttons, Infact as I wear mine inside my wrist during activity tracking for better heart rate monitoring, I could see these clunky things being an issue. Bad design on first impression

Great review.
You mentioned the small wrists you have, how big are they (in inch or cm) to compare with mine. I am in doubt between sizes. Many thanks
I was about the ask the same question.
The big one is meant for large wrists small or medium get the smaller
Worst cast just change the band to one that fits. However Samsung in the box tend to send a short strap with the normal length one too.
@Ron Terlitsky that is absolute bullshit i am lifting heavy weights regularily and i still have small to medium wrists just because i am not the tallest person out there
@Ron Terlitsky its genetics that give you either big /small wrists
Would you still get this now the 4 is out?
I think I'm gonna buy one, been using the OG galaxy watch every day and night since launch
My issue is large wrists. Most of the smart watch straps are not long enough. Do they have the option to buy longer straps?
You can buy regular watch straps, there's no proprietary one

Is there any difference in keyboard typing between both sizes?
I was researching which size to get. And when I seen the 45mm. I was like sold. Thank you so much.
Is it only fresh water (outdoor) swimming you can do with this watch on? If so this is a step back 🙁
I have Androind phone (Huawei p20 pro). Can i use all the applications normally? How about paying with phone?
Just got mine today the 45mm TLE version and I love it now my Activ 2 the is mow just for backup.
I have a quick question, will this watch charge on the older galaxy watch charger?
Great video!! Quick question or you. Can I bluetooth my Buds+ to that watch? streaming music, phone calls etc.
Yes
Did you do a follow up on the Galaxy 3? I just skimmed through your playlist and didn't see it...
Think I have decided to go for this but wondering could it be used with Huawei p30 pro phone
How is this different to the active 2? Same os same screen size, same battery life same features.
And also taking in consideration the "Health features" that they are advertising the watch with, just like Active 2 and that they never came. Removed the SP02 and the ECG was never enabled and now focusing on the new devices, we Active 2 users got screwed.
It's as bad as the active 2..maybe a bit better if its not stuttering as much..
*Newer OS version. GWA2 is behind in updates.
And that my friends, is why I left Samsung for Apple (Just because of the Apple Watch) since my Galaxy Watch Active 2 still does'nt have ecg
The price
Most important question, Google pay or Samsung Pay compatible?

Does it use heart rate to calculate calories or is it still based on an average preset calorie burn rate?
