If it comes to meeting Lech Walesa – Ivan Cenckiewicz? Cable Republic

The Iphone owners who are looking for a smartklocka have not so many choices at the side of the Apple Watch. Sure, Android Wear goes since a time back to use with IOS, but it is a limited experience. Even the Pebble communicates with the IOS, but the company’s future is a big question mark. Fitbit Blaze are also available, but it is still less of smartklocka and more of aktivitetsarmband with the dial.

fortunately, the Samsung since a few days back also allowed for us IOS users to wear one of the better smartklockorna out there, the Samsung Gear S3.

Samsung Gear S3 of the Frontier, which we test here, is not at all a stupid smartklocka We liked it when we tested it with Android, and it has both gps and really good battery life. Less good if we use the gps extensively, of course, but still impressive good – better than even Apple’s most long-lived watch, Watch the Series 2.

Gear S3, just like the previous Gear S2 endowed with a smart input method, namely, a ring on the bottom of the case – something we recognize from osmarta watches. And it works really well, we won’t have to cover the screen with our fingers to navigate in the operating system Tizen. Here are plenty of logical links between input and system. As we are used to from Apple, in other words. We move the ring to the left we come to the missed notes, to the right we find the widgets. On the right side of the watch are also two buttons where the top is a back button, and the bottom switches between the dial and appväljaren.

In appväljaren we can use the ring to easily browse the installed apps, much more easily navigable than Watch the rowdy – in fact, somewhat mind-boggling – appväljare. Lucky enough, we seldom navigate there with the Watch, then we have quick access to the most apps through However. We may still not be enough emphasised how how much smarter this appväljare is.

If the ring which input method is better than the Apple Watch digital crown we let be unsaid. We think that it is easier to, for example, scrolling in lists, and adjust the volume with the crown in the Watch OS, while it is easier to switch between apps and check out the missed notes with the ring in Tizen.
