Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and S3 Classic official hands-on and promo
The Gear S3 is also growing more independent: it will have a version that connects to your carrier's data network and completely support 4G LTE connectivity, so you can use it without being tethered to a smartphone. Since it's always within easy reach on your wrist, Samsung has also neatly incorporated an SOS call function that you activate by triple tapping the home key.
Conveniently, the Gear S3 is also IP68-certified, meaning that it can withstand immersion in water for up to 30 minutes without getting damaged, and that's useful if you have it on while it rains.
And for those mad at smartwatch batteries, the Gear S3 comes with a power saving mode that basically turns the S3 in a regular watch and lasts for some 10 hours on just 5% of battery charge. Quick charge is also on board, so a swift 15-minute visit to the wall charger gets you up to 10 hours of usage in traditional mode.
You can see all of these features and a few more in the official Samsung Gear S3 hands on and promo videos right below.
