Smart Watch Options... iWatch or Something Else?

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier. I do have a Samsung phone though but I think you can still use ALL of the frontier's functionality with an iPhone except the actual application (which I hardly ever use anyways).

ETA: I find that the iWatch looks good on female wrists but rather dainty on a mans wrist. I prefer larger watches because, well, I'm a man.

Got an Series 1 iWatch used on Amazon and have been happy with it. I always have my phone with me when running so the series 2 wasn't a must have.

Another vote for Apple Watch here. I love mine. It is nice to be able to read texts without getting your phone out your pocket. Bunch of other cool features. My favorite is probably the pulsating when you are getting directions to somewhere. It will pulsate when your turn is approaching, for example. The reminders and stuff for the Activity component are also pretty neat.

FYI I don't think it's called an iWatch. Just trying to spare you from the funny looks when you in the store to inquire about one

ETA: The most recent ones are apparently waterproof. I have the previous edition and it's not completely waterproof, but you can still wash your hands, dishes, etc. without worrying about it getting wet and being ruined. Supposedly you can even take a shower with it, but I've never been bold enough to try. And the only downside with mine is that the battery life is awful. That may have been improved in the new edition though.

I have a Moto 360 sport for working out and a Moto 360 version 2 for my everyday watch. I normally have the silver metal band on for work, but I have leather bands also to change it up.

The biggest selling point for me is the hundreds if not thousands of watch faces available to use on my everyday watch with the Watchmaker app. I currently use the Tag Heuer Connected watch face that another user was able to replicate. It is a beautiful watch face, but there is an endless supply of watch faces with many different uses and information displays available. Much more available and customizable than the iWatch (my wife has version 2 and loves it).

I usually keep the default watch face on my sport because it shows all my fitness information... but I also use the Atlas app to track my workout on the watch. There are golf apps to use on the watch also for distances... the uses are endless. The best purchases I have made for myself in a while.

I bought the gear s3 frontier this week and love it. I have worn the Apple Watch series 1 for a year and a half now and while the Apple Watch served its purpose (tracking fitness) the gear s3 was a huge step up. First of all it just looks better on the wrist of a man, it looks more like a watch. Second it has a SIM card and it's own phone line which negates the need of having to always have the phone nearby. The call quality is amazing on the gear also. I have found that it is better to talk on the watch than the phone while I'm traveling in my work vehicle. It just makes things easier since the vehicle isn't equipped with handsfree calling.
