AnonD-459051, 31 Aug 2017C'mon! :) Android Wear sucks. Everybody says that. All And... more....except you aren't fully informed.

The Gear S3 Frontier has the best hardware.
It has the most efficient SoC. One of the best displays. And all the bells, whistles and features of other watches. And all of that into a hardware that's sturdy, looks classy, and has minimal bezels.

The software lags and hiccups from time to time (pun intended).
There's many software vulnerabilities, but many haven't been patched. It rarely gets updates, and some of the ones it did get were a joke.
And it doesn't connect well to phones other than the Note/Galaxys... unlike the AndroidWear platform. And let's not forget the AndroidWear platform has a lot more interest and developers.

With that said, AndroidWear 2.0 platform isn't perfect, and has its own problems. And it definitely plays second-fiddle to Apple's iOS/Watch. Yet, its still superior to Samsung's proprietary TizenWatch platform, there's really no doubt about that.

We need to get that "Pure" Google software on Samsung hardware. A winning combo!

    Kangal, 31 Aug 2017C'mon Samsung. I want the Gear S3 Frontier with AndroidWea... moreC'mon! :)
    Android Wear sucks. Everybody says that. All Android Wear reviwers on YouTube have the Frontiers on their wrists.
    The system Gear S3 has right now is way better than all Android watches together.
