Hey,

Curious as to if any one uses a smart watch with their Note 8, if so which one and how has the experience been?

I've had a Gear S3 Frontier for some months with my Note 7. What's different is the battery life, already good on the Frontier, is even better paired with the Note 8. Hoping an update will come exchanging SVoice for Bixby. SVoice sucks, I never use it. The watch is excellent if you have to attend a lot of meetings. Checking notifications doesn't disrupt anything or draw stares.

Ticwatch 2 works great and looks the best imo than any other smartwatch

Old school motto 360 gen 2. Perfectly in sync. Battery life on either device is stellar in my daily use.

I use the Gear s3 - love it - they go perfectly together.

I use the Gear 2. The original Gear and the Gear 2 are the only ones able to take pictures using the device's builtin camera. It's the feature that I use all the time when traveling. You can still find them available.

I have the Samsung Gear S3 LTE.

Its been great. I can't think of any negative experiences with it and it syncs flawlessly with S-Health.

It's actually amazing even with the always on display you can get 2-3 full days out of it depending on how much you actually use it's features and yes you can with voice, you can also add quick replies and make phone calls through it's speaker

I have the gear s3 paired with my s8 now, next week I am get the note. While almost the same phone. I would say it's a great to use.

What I love about my gear s3

1. I can pair the watch to the phone and my Bluetooth headphones to the watch. This way i can control my songs off my s3.

2. Heart rate. Having high blood pressure I like to see my heart rate. It looks weird at work or social events taking out the phone and placing my finger on the back of the phone. With the watch I press a button and it reads it.

3. Watch faces! I love I can change the look of the watch. It's such a great thing. It's like owning a hundred different kind of watches.

4. Watch bands. I can change the look on the fly. It takes seconds to change bands.

5. Battery life is double edge sword. The phone does discharge a little more due the Bluetooth, but using the watch to check time, read messages and other good things also helps the phone battery.


6. For work it's a great thing. You can ignore calls without taking out ur phone. See messages and reply without getting in trouble.


The bad.

1. The cost of these watches is high.

2. Battery life on the watches are not that great as they say. I mean yes it can hold a charge for about two days which means less charging. With me I notice I have a whole day and the next day I need to charge it midday. Kind of piss me off. give me two days of 12 to 14 hours. I do not want to charge it at night when it's 60 to 70%

3. The looks you get talking to your watch lol. Might not be bad sometimes lol.

4. I wish more apps are available. Samsung messed up. They should of made it andriod based .

Pebble Round. Older watch but still one of the thinnest smart watches I have owned. Very basic for notification and etc came from a S2 Classic. Considered the S3 Frontier but I lucked out on eBay with this watch.

 

[bamfsig45]

My only gripe is the persistent notification that you cant clear from the gear manger, and it shows on the lock screen too. ugh

I have the original LG Urbane as well as the Gear S2 classic and love them both with my Note 8.

 

[shorty87]

I use the original Huawei Watch and it's been great so far. Very nice looking watch too.

+1 for the Gear S3 LTE, although I never actually use the LTE portion.

+1 for Frontier LTE. Got an update for the tizen software a few weeks ago, and while paired, battery life dramatically decreases. Other than that, great pair.
