I probably was at one point, that ship has sailed for the meantime.
Here is the link to a thread I posted almost a year ago, with info on the newest Gear S3 smart watch, and some of my experience/opinions of said watch:

To sum it up, I loved many of the features the watch had, but it was seriously lacking in fitness/heart rate tracking, and so I dumped it in favor of a dedicated fitness tracker. There were several of us Gear watch users that were begging for software updates for the heart rate portion of the watch, so there is a chance Samsung listened, and the watch is up to par now, but who knows. If fitness tracking is not high on your priority list of functions, the watch would likely serve you well. Currently I'm looking at the Garmin Fenix 5, but will likely wait for the price to come down a bit, because $500 is just a bit out of my price range.
