Samsung smart watches

Having recently made the move from Apple to Samsung, the thought of getting a watch keeps coming up in my mind.

I don’t want this to turn into an iOS vs Android debate, I’m only looking for opinions from anyone that’s had or has a Samsung watch.

I looked at the S3 in classic and frontier form but in the flesh thought it was too big and the bezel didn’t feel like it was a quality item, almost had a loose feel to it but I suppose that could be down to the fact it was an abused demo one in the shop?

I think I’ll have to take a look at the new sport version due out soon but will want to see one in the flesh before buying.

Just bear in mind the Samsung watches run their own OS, they're *not* Android. This means you don't benefit from the Android Wear ecosystem, so if that's important to you buy another watch.

I went for the Huawei Watch 2 Classic in the end. My phone is an S7.

Thanks, I hadn’t factored that into the decision process.
Have to admit I don’t currently wear a watch and I’m not sure what I’m going to get out of it but like the idea of smart tech.
