This is the original Samsung Galaxy gear s3. Classic. Has that rotating dial that lets you go back and forth to different widgets across it? You can get it in the frontier as well, which is a little bit gnarly or knob on it a little bit easier to rotate. The classy is, of course, the dress watch, but that's, not why I'm here I'm here to tell you about the firmware update that just got pushed to this watch? Yes, if you own it do it if you don't own it, this may actually steer you to buy this watch, which is much less expensive right now, then it's superior galaxy watch 46 millimeter equivalent that's right. The only difference really between this one and the new Galaxy watch at this point is that the Galaxy watch is waterproof and this one is splash resistant, haven't heard of anybody having really any serious problems with it as long as you don't go swimming, but the Galaxy Watch itself is capable for being underwater for a whole lot more money. There is something unique about this one that is better than all of the other Galaxy watches and it's. Not me accidentally touching the screen. This watch has the ability, when you go into the NFC mode and you enter your PIN and you access the Samsung pay option only on the Galaxy gear s3 line, maybe the s2 I'm not sure, but definitely on this line. You have the ability to pay for things at a terminal by putting this up to any NFC capable device or or or the old traditional magnetic card kind.
I know you've been to places coffee houses, restaurants, trucks, food trucks where they have an iPad with a little gizmo that sticks on the side, and they run your card through that in this mode. With this watch, you can actually fine point it to the terminal that little white chip and it will actually process the transaction. It works on just about any kind of transaction in the United States, any way that uses credit card. So you just register your card with the system. The new galaxy watch 42 inch inch 42 millimeter people caught me on that in the comments so I'm aware: 42 millimeter or 46 millimeter. The new galaxy watch active all of those things they'll do the NFC version of the Samsung pay. So what is this big fancy update and why is it so cool well let's. Take the watch off and show you by the way that's called the Malon NHIS a watch band it's got a magnetic clasp that you can loop around through here and then you just adjust it to where ever you want. It sticks right. There they're available all over the place and of course these are replaceable bands on your samsung watches, so you can put whatever band you like on there here's what happened when they updated the user interface on this, I have to get into system to show you. I click on here. I'Ve got all of this information. I scroll all the way down to about this watch I come in here shows you your model and serial and storage and device, and software come in to software and look.
We have this thing called 1u. E1 user interface version 1.0. If you look at the other reviews, i did on the samsung watch and the samsung watch active you'll see that it also has the ue the one ue, but these didn't they only have the Tizen version and it was an earlier version. Look at this we're running 4.0 for that's higher than the other newer watches, samsung what's wrong with you. Do you know what would happen if Apple came out and put ECG on the original Apple? What how do you think that sells a series? What are they? Two? Five, well, I applaud you Samsung for taking care of your customers and allowing us to have access to the latest software, even in older watches. What you can do on this watch that you couldn't before is swipe down and get multiple pages here of all kinds of goodies that you could control. That was exclusively part of the 1ue one UI that is now available on all of the samsung watches. Exactly you've got the Do Not Disturb mode. You'Ve got airplane mode, you can come in here and you could change your brightness as bright or as dim as you want, and you notice on this one. I got to keep it down kind of lower it's gon na override the camera. You got another page where you got theater mode. You can turn on or off GPS Wi Fi battery blah blah blah blah blah, and you can set all these up and put them on different pages.
The way you want that's one new improvement, another one is when you go into any of your activities. If you remember before you press one of these, it would sit there and think about getting GPS, and only after it got it, would it give you the chance to say go and then you had to hit the button a second time to begin your exercise when The 1ue came out, people really get on me for calling it a UE, the one UI it goes right into it. I can hit walking. I get my three two one go and it's doing the acquisition of the GPS. In the background it's, giving me everything. I need the little flashing green when it's solid I've got GPS, but it's letting me go it's starting to count and it's got everything. You can rearrange all of these pages. The way you want for me, I like to see in my speed in miles per hour. I'M, not a pace kind of guy. I can see my distance travel. I can go into heart rate. All these things are reconfigurable. I like the time on every page, so I set it up that way. Nice very nice, and those are just a couple of the new features that you've got with this new user interface download onto wants so we're. Really looking at a nice nice upgrade, you haven't bought one of these. Yet I got a link in the show notes for you really inexpensive compared to everything else on the market.
You can pick it up straight from Amazon if you still like to get the waterproof version, if that's really important to you and that NFC thing isn't that big a deal you're, okay with just using it at the only the NFC capable terminals. Well, you can pick up the Galaxy watch: 42 millimeter, 46 millimeter.
