The timepiece will be available in two designs – the rugged Gear S3 frontier, and the Gear S3 classic. Starting at $349.99, Gear S3 will be available at retailers including Best Buy, Amazon, Macy’s and Samsung.com, as well as participating wireless providers.

Featuring a rotating bezel, the Gear S3 joins Samsung’s portfolio of wearables.and has been designed by Swiss watch designer Yvan Arpa. The design is combined with IP68 water and dust resistance and military-grade durability. Consumers can also customize their Gear S3 to fit their lifestyle or mood, thanks to thousands of available watch faces and the ability to swap out the band for any standard 22mm offering.

The Gear S3 supports Samsung Pay, providing the ability to make mobile payments virtually anywhere you can tap or swipe a credit or debit card. With Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) and Near Field Communication (NFC) support built-in, Gear S3 users will be able to make a purchase with Samsung Pay which is widely accepted across the U.S.

The LTE version of the Gear S3 frontier enables wearers to receive calls, texts and alerts, listen to music, track fitness routes or download apps even when their phone isn’t nearby. With all models featuring a built-in speaker and microphone, even the BT version allows consumers to make and answer calls – without ever having to reach for their phone.

Built-in GPS adds to the connectivity, empowering wearers to monitor their daily fitness activities and share their location with friends or in the event of an emergency with safety functions like the SOS feature. The S Health app makes it simple to not only track activity and heart rate, but also to set goals, post results and check leaderboards.

The LTE4 version of the Gear S3 frontier will be available from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
