Samsung Gear S3 was officially unveiled at IFA. It’s a connected watch that plays with design because yes, it’s incredibly elegant and focuses on design above all else. The most discussed topic at the conference was design.

Samsung wanted the Gear S3 to look like a real watch, not a smartwatch. Apart from this round format adopted since last year, the Korean language has worked extensively on the finishes of the product. There are two versions of the watch, “Frontier” and “Classic,” and the spinning ring we found last year is still in play. It will bring better ergonomics to the watch.

Not content with offering new functions and updated hardware, Samsung worked with watch designer Yvan Arpa for the overall design of the watch, while the strap and dial were designed by an artist named ‘Arik Levy’. IP68 certification ensures its resistance to water and dust, but the Gear S3 can also withstand extreme temperatures. According to Samsung, You can even wear it in the sauna..

Note that the autonomy is improved, so after a full charge we switch from 250 to 380 mAh battery, which is an extra day from the Gear S2. Generally a fee should offer you 3 to 4 days of autonomy, it turns out to be pretty good. When the battery drops to 5%, the energy saving mode starts converting the connected clock to a simple clock. The product is good, the improvements are many, but will this be enough to make the Samsung Gear S3 forget the expected high price of the Samsung Gear S3? $299.
