What kind of functions do you guys use the watch for that aren't accomplished by your phone already? Is it just a convenience thing to be able to glance at your wrist for certain things instead of digging in your pocket for the phone?

"There are no finger prints under water."
Good question. I have an employee at work who has had one of these for a few months and she is constantly staring at her wrist. Soon we'll see reports of "smart watch syndrome" with people having elbow problems or some shit.
I don't know, they seem cool from a tech standpoint, but I think I get distracted enough by a phone in my pocket.
Besides, I don't like wearing a "regular" watch.

The top two reasons for me wanting the S3 Frontier are fitness tracking and aesthetic appearance of this particular watch. The following are bonuses that pushed me to pull the trigger.
- Stand alone GPS
- Samsung Pay
- Calculator
- SOS mode.
- Calendar
There may be other features I'm missing, but these are the ones that came to mind. Also, I'm not near my phone during work, so to be able to input calendar reminders, nutritional and fitness data etc, and then have it sync with my phone is invaluable to me. Not to mention you can easily drop this type of money on a G-Shock or similar that doesn't do any of the Smart stuff.

I really like the idea of not having to reach for my work phone when dangling off a 12/12 extension. Particularly if I can just scream at my wrist to call someone to come put the ladder back up. Not a situation I find myself in very often these days, but I would have had ample opportunity to find virtue in the tech a few years back.
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
