Engadget Review
With the Galaxy Watch 3, Samsung continues to prove it can make a better smartwatch companion for Android phones than Google. Although the Watch 3 is chunkier than its similarly capable Active series, it brings improved sleep and health tracking features and a smaller, lighter rotating bezel. Its battery life could be longer and software could be smoother, but even without upcoming features like ECG, the Galaxy Watch 3 is an excellent smartwatch for Android users.
Samsung’s Tizen OS continues to shine.
