The Samsung Gear S3 is one of the best smartwatches available today. The beautiful, circular design and high-quality materials make it stand out amongst the competition. The smartwatch also boasts a rotating bezel, intuitive interface, and built-in GPS. It’s currently only compatible with Android devices and has a price tag of $349.99 USD.
The Samsung Gear S3 is an excellent smartwatch for those who want something stylish but aren’t interested in paying $350 for it. The watch has a gorgeous design that puts it leagues ahead of other watches in its price range, and it comes with an intuitive interface that makes navigating menus easy on even the smallest screen sizes.
The smartwatch’s biggest selling point is its battery life: you can get up to three days of use out of the device before needing to charge it again. It also comes equipped with a built-in GPS, which is essential for tracking your location when you’re on the go and don’t want to carry around your phone all day long.

Here WeGo Maps
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
Here WeGo is one of the best navigation apps for wearables, and on the Galaxy Watch and S3 models, it has a standalone mode.

Here WeGo allows you to plan routes by your preferred method of transportation, caches your data for easily accessing it later on, and is an all-around great navigation app for your smartwatch.
Flipboard News briefing
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
One of the best news briefing apps for smartwatches actually comes pre-installed on Samsung smartwatches – yes, it’s good ol’ Flipboard. The tiny display on your smartwatch may not offer the best way to go in-depth into the news, but Flipboard’s UI is perfectly tailored to utilize the limited real estate to deliver the gist of today’s leading headlines. Flipboard has a feed that shows you summaries and headlines, but if you feel like it, you can tap on a story to expand it and read it in full. Scrolling can be done either via the touchscreen or the rotating bezel.
Find My Car
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
Find My Car is a small, but super useful app for the times when you just can’t remember where you parked.

You can also leave yourself voice notes with more information about your current whereabouts when parking in unfamiliar areas.
More fun things to try out on your Samsung smartwatch
Hextris
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
In Hextris, you rotate a hexagon using the bezel of your Samsung watch. Your goal is to stack colorful blocks on the sides of the hexagon, destroying them in clusters of three, while avoiding filling the entire play area with blocks. Hextris is a fun little game and works very well on the Gear.
White Light
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
White Light is a simple app, as simple as simple gets. Since smartwatches don’t have built-in flashlights, White Light aims to rectify this in the easiest way possible – by turning your screen white and raking up the brightness. It doesn’t sound all that useful on paper, but you don’t know when it may save your life… or spare you some annoying fiddling for your phone in the dark, at the very least.
Fruit Ninja
Best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3, and Sport
A Fruit Ninja game on a smartwatch, who would’ve thought? But here it is and it actually works surprisingly well on tiny smartwatch screens. Best of all, perhaps, it’s completely free to download on Galaxy Apps.
