If you want a smartwatch, and Google’s Wear OS isn’t appealing to you, Samsung’s Tizen watches are the next-best thing you can use with Android phones. The Gear S3 is one of the company’s older watches, as it came out in late 2016, but it’s still supported and has some features the newer watches lack. Now you can get it for just $199.99 on Amazon — around $20 cheaper than the typical price, and $150 below the original MSRP.
The Gear S3 Frontier has a large 2.76-inch circular screen, a rotating bezel for navigating apps, a 380mAh battery, and Samsung’s proprietary Tizen OS. The band is 23mm wide, and you can replace it with any standard 23mm band. It also has a heart rate sensor for limited health tracking, and Samsung Pay is supported.
In addition to NFC payments, the Gear S3 includes MST, so you can pay at almost any store with magstripe card readers. All of Samsung’s current watches lack this feature. Our full review of the Gear S3 is here, but keep in mind that the Tizen OS has received several significant updates since that was published.
