The announcement of the Samsung Gear Sport a few months ago came as a bit of a surprise, because it wasn't exactly the idea of an upgrade for the Gear S3 smartwatch that most people had in their minds.

Rotating bezel; Built-in GPS; Super AMOLED screen with always-on mode; Waterproofing; Can track swims

Inaccurate fitness tracking; Lack of apps; Region-locked store

I love this watch for the functionality and size because I have small wrists. I love that it is waterproof. I am so disappointed that it cannot take calls! What a bummer. I returned the Fitbit watch for a similar reason. I answer and then run to find my phone. What a disappointment. :(

This is by far the best and more accurate smartwatch to track swimming laps. Compared against Samsung Gear Fit, Fit 2 Pro and Fitbit Versa.

Great watch and more usable than the S3 being that it is waterproof for swimming purposes. Other than not being able to take / make calls direct from the watch, it has all the same functions as the s3.

This watch was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend who typically dislikes technology however, after showing her some useful apps, and picking a watch face she loves, my girlfriend could easily be mistaken for having always loved technology where in fact she completed avoided it until recently.

This watch is pretty cool, it looks good and does what you'd expect a smartwatch to do. My only problem is I thought I'd get a full Spotify experience, that's not the case. It has no way to play podcasts, a huge letdown because that's what I want to listen to on my long runs.

The Samsung Gear Sport is quite expensive but it's a great looking smartwatch packed full of tech, in a compact and light design. It balances regular and fitness features and also has decent battery life too.

Good: Good looks, not bulky, standard watch band mount, 3 days battery life (wifi off), durable (bumped around many times, no scratches). Sleep monitor works well. Notifications work quite well. Just OK: Workout detection works, most of the time. Need more apps.

Looks good and really comfortable . Tried 2 other makes before but had issues with them so returned them to. Curry's. Bought it to try and improve my exercise regime. However every so often I'm having to turn my phone off to re sync the watch.

Really useful and functional. Very easy to pick up and use straight out of the box. Pairs with the phone quickly via the Samsung Wearables App. The customisable watch faces are excellent and allow you to make it your own.
