The original innovator Samsung Samsung Gear S3 Frontier smart watch drying single + evaluation

The first evaluation in life ~~ feels harder than writing SCI~~

As early as September 1st at the IFA 2016 conference, Samsung officially released the Gear S3 Classic and Frontier. As a user of Gear S2, in fact, there was no plan to upgrade at first, but as soon as you see the real machine on the network, you will want to buy it! Among them, Frontier gave me no resistance! After a lapse of three months, December 12, finally waited until the State Bank's sale of grab S code, but the character is not good until the 15th to grab.


Do not hesitate to immediately place an order, and then the next half month has been spent in a long wait, the daily brush orders are displayed to be shipped, and you see the stars in the forum are all starting to dry the table, in my heart torment. In the blink of an eye, from 2017 to 2017, the second day of the new year saw the logistics update!

Unfortunately, the night just happened to catch the night shift. It was a night break. The whole person was exhausted. However, I thought that No. 3 SFF was sure to be able to come, but I didn't dare to shut down and I was afraid I couldn't reach the SF Phone. Sure enough, at about 10 in the morning, the familiar bell rang, and the colleagues of the unit promptly collected it for me. The instant we fought like a chicken, we couldn't care for the exhaustion of the 15-hour night shift, and we immediately went to the unit to express. It was crazy. However, I really couldn't hold back when I got home. I slept for an afternoon and didn't have the energy until the night to get out of the box!

First drying package ~ ~ blue box, very solid. Is this Samsung's main push blue model this year, so the express box is also blue? For the ritual sense, I found a blue knife. Hey, I'm sorry to say sorry for the Note7, saying that if it is not the death of the Exynos8890 powder, do not like Snapdragon820, but it is a pit father of telecommunications users, or maybe the first batch of state banks will also be minutes into the blue note7 sincerely looks good!

The upper layer is a blue card. Open the inside is a customer care book and a small card of thanks to star powder. I feel that the color of blue is particularly warm, and it also has a special sense of technology.

Then open the flip inside the box, and our protagonist of today is coming up.

At the beginning, I wondered why I was so small. I sent a box so large. Imagine whether or not I sent other small objects. Now I understand. I'm shockproof. I'm still stupid, so naive.

On the left is Gear S2 and on the right is Gear S3. The Gear S2 style was continued on the box, but Gear S3's height increased slightly.

Then the following is the exciting moment, out of the box!

Just open the lid, it is a strong sense of visual impact, it is a value from the value to the work, from the heart of praise! If I say Gear S2 is still a bit delicate, then Gear S3 Frontier is particularly masculine, quite temperament, forced full, there is no such a fresh feeling of electronic watches. Directly on the appearance of contrast ~

Please ignore the gray ash on my X88 audio, in fact, often wipe is not so obvious, just shoot it out, I go, obsessive-compulsive disorder can not stand!

Since we mentioned Gear S2, we first take a look at the parameter comparison:

Larger size is more suitable for boys, the battery is bigger and I believe that there will be better life, but also increase the MST payment, the era of brush table payment is coming (Tuo Shuangtu Gear S2 despite supporting NFC payment, but not suitable for one year With Samsung Pay, God Pit!), Corning Gorilla SR+ Glass, Independent GPS Module, Independent Speaker! One by one is the pain point that made me upgrade from Gear S2 to Gear S3!

Below, we have to prepare for starting ~

The first step is to prompt the connection of the mobile phone to activate the watch. It is believed that the partner who has used other Gear wearable devices must be familiar with this interface. For the old driver who used Gear Fit and Gear S2 generation products, the connection pairing is Minutes to get ~

After pairing is successful, there will be some newly-introduced tutorials on the watch. The cost of learning is not high. The first time you use Gear's partner, you can also get a minute!

Well, the unpacking section is here. Here we enter the Gear S3 and the previous generation Gear S2.


Exterior

Samsung seems to have found inspiration from the design of the Gear S2. The appearance of the Gear S3 is comparable to that of its predecessors, but it is not without new ideas.

The Gear S3 uses a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, which is one lap larger than the previous generation S2. This makes the S3 bigger and thicker. The student who likes the compact and lightweight is still left to consider the S2. However, thanks to this extra space, the S3 is packed into more modules, has independent speakers and GPS, and supports both NFC and MST payments. To tell you the truth, because I've been using Gear S2 before, I was a bit uncomfortable when I first started wearing the Gear S3, but after a while I discovered that I couldn't go back anymore. I don’t want to use a big screen phone anymore. Screen is a truth.

The core design of the front dial is a rotating bezel that continues from Gear S2. Compared with S2, the ring of the S3 rotates to damp more, reducing the possibility of many misoperations.

The Gear S3's screen glass is the Corning Gorilla SR+. This glass is said to have been created by Corning specifically for smart wearable devices and is the world's premiere on the Gear S3. SR+ glass offers excellent scratch resistance and sturdiness, and its transparency and reflectance are superior to sapphire glass. Put the Gear S3 and S2 together and turn on the same screen brightness. The former will be clearer and brighter. I was slain with a key, and no scratches were left on the screen. Friends who were not afraid of death could try it.

The right side of the fuselage is two physical buttons, the top is the return key, the bottom is the power / menu key, the bottom of the button next to the hole for the sound hole, a row of holes on the left side of the fuselage, Gear S3 is newly added Independent speaker, which allows the Gear S3 to independently make/receive calls and play music. The center of the bottom of the fuselage is the heart rate sensor ((with two shots on the phone, the Camera is too lazy to figure it out, and I don’t want to wear it on the back. Because the SN code is on top, it is too cumbersome to play mosaic.

Gear S3 Frontier body is made of 316L stainless steel, very strong and wear-resistant, bezel made of solar metal process, matt black instead of bright surface, the overall texture design has been improved. My S2 has been used for a number of years and encountered numerous times. The body and the screen have not left any scratches. I believe that the S3 upgrade will be more durable.

The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier is compatible with the 22mm strap. The standard strap is silicone, so at the time of buying, I hesitated for a long time between Classic and Frontier, because Classic is a leather strap, but the appearance is decisively Frontier pull a lot of wind Both clothing and business are wild. In the end, I still chose Frontier, after all, the strap can be changed. After receiving the goods, for a few days, I can only say that I was full of prejudice against this silicone strap. The touch was really good. The slippery skin-like experience was not a bit rough and sweating. It is not sticky afterwards and it is very good. The official said that it will withdraw from more customized straps in the future and look forward to it.

In short, individuals recommend buying Frontier, the foreign version of Frontier is said to also support LTE/3G connection, do not know whether the BNM is shielded or castrated ~


Experience


1. Revolutionary bezel

The interface between S3 and S2 is basically unchanged. The turntable bezel can be used to switch applications, view notifications, scroll through menus, scroll through webpages, and can also quickly complete answers/cancel calls, alarms, messages, etc. by rotating the bezel around. The series operation means that whether you are driving or doing housework, or if you have water and gloves on your hands, you can easily answer the phone or message. Personally think that this innovation is really too good, much better than Apple's rotating crown, I do not know if I have learnt from Apple Apple Watch components. The design of the rotating bezel largely liberated the fingers. After all, sliding on a small watch screen is not a simple matter.


2.Always On Display information display long bright dial

Thanks to the self-luminous and low-power features of the AMOLED screen, it does not increase the power consumption burden and sacrifices a little of the battery life, bringing about an experience similar to that of a traditional watch. In addition, this function will not be enabled when the watch is taken off. It is still off screen. This is still very user-friendly. Only when the watch is worn, the information screen will display the long-lit dial. In addition, the information display dial with 16 million color light source, and anti-aliasing way to ensure that the clock pattern is more clear and true, the dynamic second hand also ensures the watch interface realism.

PS change dial will become a habit ~ haha ​​~ official market really has a lot of cool dial it ~




3.IP68 dustproof and waterproof

As a wearable device, IP68 should naturally be the standard. In addition, Frontier also supports the MIL-STD-810G military standard, which allows it to guarantee normal operation under extreme temperature and water flow shocks!


4. Independent GPS and GLONASS Global Satellite Navigation System

The previous generation of GearS2 used the GPS chip of the mobile phone for positioning. Without the network and positioning system of the mobile phone, the watch would be incompetent. So when you used Gear S2, you went out for a workout or bike ride, and you used to record route information on your mobile phone. The Gear Fit2 and Gear S3 released this year have built-in GPS and GLONASS global satellite navigation systems, real-time positioning, can be described as the best partner for fitness, but the map navigation still need to connect the network, fly in the ointment. In addition, Gear S3 can also survey your altitude, speed, and atmospheric pressure changes in real time. It can confirm the weather and help you to avoid the wind and rain in advance. It is the best partner for travel adventures.


5. Built-in speaker

Gear S3 has added a built-in speaker, which is a pain point for a lot of Gear S2 users. Earlier, Gear S2 was at most a call notification reminder. Now as long as the watch is turned or swiped to answer an incoming call, the watch's speaker is equivalent to a hands-free action. It is suitable for scenes in which it is impossible to free up hands to answer calls, such as cycling. It is very practical when driving, doing housework. In addition, there is a 蜻蜓FM app in the official app store. You can use your watch to listen to music and broadcast.


6. Powerful motion recognition

When you used Gear Fit before, you had to run, ride or sleep. No matter what kind of exercise monitoring you want to use, you need to manually click. When you go to Gear S2, you do not need to set the device in advance. The powerful sensor can automatically identify Your various exercise methods and heart rate, as well as reminding the duration and other kinds of sports related information, Gear S3 has naturally inherited. True technology is to serve humanity, so that you do not feel its existence, not to become a burden on humans.


7.SOS emergency help

By simply pressing the Home button three times in a row, Gear S3 can instantly send your current location information to the person you pre-selected to track your location in real time. Just imagine that if you are stared at by the bad guys and kidnapped, you have no chance to call the police. Maybe this feature will save you a life! Samsung's mobile phones also have this feature, I advise everyone around you or paper to open up well, I Well, even if, I have no money two colorless, security is very good ~


8. Life

Compared to the Gear S2's 250mAh battery, the Gear S3 plugged a large 380mAh battery in one go to ensure its strong endurance. When I used Gear Fit in the past, I was able to charge my mobile phone for almost 5 days. I changed it to Gear S2. It became a habit to charge for two days, although there is still 20% of the remaining battery power in two days. However, it is insecure to wear it on the third day. Some time ago Gear S2 pushed the new system, it seems that the battery life is much better, and 3 days can barely be used. When I was using the Gear S3 these days, I no longer have to worry about battery life. Pairing watches and mobile phones to receive regular WeChat messages and SMS messages, and using the watch to pick up several phones on the way home, the home actually lost only 20% of the electricity. It was really a shock to me. It seems that the five-day battery life is well enough to catch Gear Fit, but Gear Fit doesn't have as many powerful features as Gear S3! As for the charging is still relatively slow, not equipped with fast charging, the official standard EP-TA61CBC with Gear S2 charging head, the output is only 5V 0.7A, charging is the same with the Gear S2 are wireless charging.


7. System and APP Experience

Because Gear S3 uses Samsung's own Tizen system, not Google's Android Wear system, it is necessary and necessary for Samsung to develop its own ecosystem. This is why Samsung chose all of its ecosystems. Despite one-year accumulation of Gear S2, Samsung is also heavily encouraged developers to develop Tizen system applications, most of the commonly used third-party APP has been gradually improved, such as Alipay, Baidu maps, vehicles come (transit real-time positioning query software ), Nike Running, Weibo (Sure, only microblogging campaign modules, unable to reply to Weibo messages and messages, silent), Netease News, Today's headlines, Youdao Translation Officer, Ctrip, 蜻蜓 FM, Chinese calendar, stock trading software and some Fun games, but still can not hide the shortcomings of this system APP experience, after all, can not keep up with Apple's appeal, people Apple Watch out, each APP has a short time to keep up with the fit, really envy.

At present, the most unforgiving thing is the WeChat reminder and reply function. Even though the official has issued an app called WeChat Watch Assistant, it can only receive and respond to individual WeChat messages sent from individuals, and cannot receive group messages. Individuals send Wechat messages. Voice is not currently available through Gear S3's loudspeakers, and it's not a reminder from time to time. So now I basically turn it off with the simplest notification notification feature of the watch, and push the WeChat notification directly to the watch, but in that case, You can only display the last message, you can't turn forward, you can't reply, you can only go back to the phone to check the reply, and you don't know when the official can match Wechat perfectly. When you used Gear S2 last year, you responded. This problem, I did not expect to see that this year still did not see Samsung's updated meaning, really depressed. Push notifications on mobile phones, third-party software messages, can only show the last notification. The front page cannot be paged, only the number of notifications can be displayed, and it is also drunk. User experience is greatly reduced! Hope Samsung can really hear the voice of users! From Gear Fit to Gear S2 all the way to Gear S3, one of his favorite features is its vibrating alarm clock and vibrating phone reminder. Because professional relationships often go to night shifts, sometimes they are called up seven or eight times in the middle of the night. Imagine every time you are asleep and hear the scene of mobile phone ringing. It has to be a little annoying, but if the phone shakes, you may miss important ones. The phone may be related to the rescue of a life. However, the watch's vibrating reminder must be gentle, and the person who wakes up will not feel very uncomfortable. In addition, recently found that Gear S3 Bluetooth signal is not good Gear S2, mobile phone in his room, down from the attic to the kitchen, before the Gear S2 can also be connected, two days Gear S3 directly dropped.


8.Samsung Pay For Gear S3

Gear S3's payment method not only supports NFC and MST, but also lacks a Samsung Pay. However, there is no mention of the support for MST support for Gear S3's Samsung Pay. However, when you enter the watch's engineering mode, you can see MST (you can see it in engineering mode. The method is the watch dialing interface input *#12580*369#,*# is obtained by long pressing the corresponding number key, and the other factory date is input*# 0*#). Without being castrated, they breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to Samsung engineers, they will support Samsung Pay some day in the future, but that day will come and we will have to wait patiently. Nowadays we can only watch the Apple Watch users loaded with envy ~~

Explain what is MST: Unlike Apple Pay, which requires a credit card machine to support NFC, Samsung Pay is not limited to NFC, and traditional magnetic stripe POS machines can also be used for payment, without the owner of the existing POS machine any upgrade and transformation, because Samsung Some of the devices support MST magnetic safety transmission technology and can simulate magnetic stripe card magnetic signals.

In addition, we did not see support for eSIM cards in the engineering mode. In the end, it was software shield or hardware castration.


to sum up

Limited text, can not show all the features of the Gear S3 one by one, but in a word, those watches have all the features it has, and those bracelets have functions that are right. Super high value, powerful sensors, comprehensive features, excellent battery life, good user experience, if you don't mind it a little bad software ecology, then Gear S3 is your best choice! The Gear S3 is also the best smart watch available on the market. No one!

As for buying advice, if you are a Samsung Smart Wear user prior to Gear S2, Gear S3 will be the best choice for you to upgrade, and personally recommend to buy Frontier for reasons already stated at the end of the unpacking. For users who are currently using Gear S2, Samsung has upgraded the Gear S2 system to the same version as Gear S3. The difference in user experience should not be too great. If the speaker and GPS are not what you need, You can consider waiting for the next generation of products (as well as Samsung Pay, Gear S2 may not be available). As for iPhone users, the Samsung Gear S and Gear Fit are officially registered in the App Store. They support the Gear S2, Gear S3, and Gear Fit 2. The reason for not pairing the iPhone is not to stop you from choosing the Gear S3.

Do not talk nonsense, show a favorite dial pressure stunned ~

There are some bad guys. Don't pray that it will be Boom.
