I honestly was excited about the new gear watch. My son and I both have the LTE Gear S3 Frontier while my wife has the Gear S2 LTE version. I was looking forward to the 5ATM waterproof and better battery life, not that the GS3 battery life is not good. When I found out the MST would not be included I was in shock. Why take away a great feature that people actually use? Do not go backwards two steps only to take two steps forward. You did not make any new grounds Samsung. You only gave people another choice and variant of the same Gear S3 basically. New colors, and choice of features. The new Galaxy watch should have included everything the Gear S3 had to offer plus new additions. No upgrading here for us.

Swimming with the majority of water resistant watches is not covered by warranty because chlorine and salt will weaken the seals. They only advertise the watch will be fine under a 5 bar pressure of water so ppl whom are going to start using these regularly to track swimming may come to find some issues. Btw a comparison between the heart rate monitor and overall trackers would be nice to complement the review. I had a lot of issues with my heart rate monitor not tracking properly while running or even just standing and slightly moving my wrist, i even went as far as to shave my arms just to see if it improved but still missed a lot of readings.

I'm getting great battery life on the Galaxy Watch 46mm vs my Frontier both LTE version. For me, the down side is the so called Bixby, which is technically just a changed of title from S-voice. Still S-voice really it's just now you have to say "Hi Bixby" instead of "Hi Gear" 🤨. Battery is a beast on this one and the new processor makes a big difference from the Gear S3. Thanks again for another great video.

The biggest disappointment that I had with the new watch is how long I waited.. I got my note 8 in November last year and immediately I was thinking to get the Samsung gear S3 or wait till the next watch which I was anticipating was going to be phenomenaly better but to my surprise this watch is absolutely the exact same thing no matter how you look at it I mean two features differently and that’s it that’s all you get that what’s different. I would get a rose gold if it was 46 mm but I can’t have that either, I would buy this immediately since I was waiting for a product change. But Apple is coming out with your new watch I think Samsung really did miss out on revenue by keeping it the exact same thing it’s like the iPhone 8, they took the iPhone 7 put wireless charging on it and said it was a new phone I don’t see any difference here

What about for the fitness point of view ? Do you get more accurate heart rate when you start running with the Galaxy Watch versus the S3 ? The S3 Frontier many times it would go nuts to like 160 Bpm and only a few minutes later the watch would say the real number that was like 135 bpm. When doing HIIT exercises the precision is a must . I hope the new watches since they have four sensors instead two for heat rate they should work quicker to tell me the real number in second instead minutes while doing hardcore workout.

Only Samsung phones have MST but many Samsung smartwatch users will be using other brands of cell phones. The S3 is especially great for those people. I happen to have Samsung phone and it is much faster and more convenient to use the watch. And getting to the cashier and then finding you need to get out your phone and open up the app and log in is time consuming especially when there are others waiting in line. You accumulate Samsung points when using the app and I redeemed a $50 coupon when buying my S3. I try to pay for everything by credit card so use it several times a day. For those like me the MST is a BIG deal. For others seldom making purchases or using cash it is a minor issue.

Rest of the world have been using NFC for years and to be honest I only learned about existence of such thing as MST because of all the complaints about Samsung taking away this feature. I understand this might be pain but in the long run it's a move that will force shops to invest into NCF panels sooner than later. Similar to apple by getting rid of headphone jack that have pushed forward development of wireless headphones/earphones. There's not denying that. Samsung got rid of MST due to how outdated the technology is and in a way it's a good thing. Out with the old.

You made the comparison about Apple and the lack of a headphone jack, but even I as a bluetooth speaker user like the convenience of having the port there say, in times of "crap, I forgot my bluetooth earbuds" and instead of shelling out $50-$100 for a new pair, could just get a $5-$10 pair of wired earbuds to get thru the vacay or whatever reason I needed my bluetooth earbuds

@@jedstuhrI only made comparison to headphone jack to show how changes like this drive product development. I'm not currently using iPhone but I'm sure I'd find it little inconvenient but there's nothing that little dongle can't fix (seems the case with a lot of products recently) lol. The future is now I'd say. Everyone everywhere uses NFC. I think, not investing in NFC terminals is basically saying to customers "we don't want your business". I never carry my wallet with me anymore. I haven't in around 3 years. Not with NFC payments pretty much everywhere in UK. I only have my wallet on me when I have to withdraw money, but I'm sure soon withdrawals will be possible too. If I wasn't able to use Apple Pay or GooglePay in a shop, bar, pub, restaurant I didn't go back there and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Businesses were missing out. Now there's barely anywhere where you can't pay using mobile payments. And UK is quite far behind rest of the Europe. Poland for instance is the most advanced in this field. The only companies using MST in their phones are Samsung and LG. Samsung have 0.28% mobile market share (if numbers are correct) At the moment all iPhones (that Apple still supports) have ApplePay available. Apple have 25% mobile market share Apple also dominates smartwatch market. Rest is android (and some other OSs). It's only logical to invest in technology that already dominates market.

@@michaelfedora No, no... I totally understand the purpose of the comparison... I was also just basically saying that it doesn't hurt to have the "out-dated" tech just in case because you're excluding those customers (maybe an older person) who may not want or need to upgrade their device. I suppose the US may be MUCH FURTHER behind than the UK (and the rest of Europe) then because I can surely say not everyone everywhere here in the US has NFC enabled devices... certainly not ATMs nor gas stations (well, not to MY knowledge, anyways)...one of the gas station franchises in my city has an NFC terminal, but they've all been in a "coming soon" status for over a year. The only places I can think of that have NFC "everywhere" are like MAJOR cities like San Francisco (I'm from the other side of the US), but even in SF, the bars don't take card, they take cash. But definitely, I see your point... I don't think I would stop giving my business to store that don't have NFC enabled devices, tho... I still see NFC and MST as one of MY 1st world problems that most people don't worry about.

I had never heard of this MST tech either until people started complaining about the lack of it on the new watches. I guess the UK is just a bit further ahead with this tech - the US don't even have chip and pin terminals either I don't think!

@@grieveousbodilyharm When it comes to NFC terminals, it depends on the particular shop in question. As for chip and pay, that is also the same factor. For example, Wells Fargo support please of course that's a bank. If I remember correctly, places such as On the Border, dropped NFC payment's due to its use. It's going to take some, word of Interest I suppose for places like this to work.

It would have been nice if you could have referred to the different watches by their names instead of saying "this one" or "that one" by the end of the video I had no idea which watch was which.

Watched the video for 3 minutes. You took way too long to get to the differences and when you did you didn't do a well enough job of "Galaxy has this S3 has this" to make me think that this video had any value. Less rambling and more content.

No MST is such a turn off. But having the note 9 ,or any current Samsung flagship, I could live with not having MST on the Galaxy watch since NFC tap to pay is becoming more common and just use my Samsung phone when I need MST.

Gordan Babić you need to learn RESPECT as a human being. Your time? No one cares about your time. No one forces you to do anything with your time but, guess who? That is right! You are in control of how you use you own time. Blaming someone else? Idiotic, dumb, immature, childish. Grow up!
