We purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 so that our reviewer could fully test it. Read on for our full product review.

Samsung was one of the first tech giants to produce modern smartwatches before Apple made its big breakthrough, and in recent years it’s opted for a design that blends traditional wristwatch stylings with digital smarts. From the Gear S2 Classic to the Galaxy Watch, Samsung’s premium smartwatch design philosophy centers around a rotating bezel that offers a unique way to navigate menus alongside the familiar touch interface.

Now, the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 is here, and no, you didn’t miss the Galaxy Watch 2: for some reason, Samsung decided that its two Galaxy Watch Active variants filled that void. The Galaxy Watch3 is a largely iterative upgrade despite the two-year gap, one that combines some welcome design tweaks with a feature boost that brings it in line with Apple’s own latest hardware, even if its software ecosystem still falls short in comparison. Still, this is one of your best options for a wearable companion if you have an Android phone, albeit at a premium price.

Like its predecessors, the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 looks more like a traditional, analog watch than most smartwatches today. Unlike the Apple Watch, which still resembles a shrunken, hyper-minimal iPhone screen on your wrist, the chunky bezel, noticeable lugs and large side buttons here maintain the illusion of a classic timepiece—though you do, of course, get to customize the digital watch face.
