The S3 smartwatch, model number M2323W1, promises a lot: a vibrant AMOLED display, robust health tracking capabilities, Bluetooth calling, and a sleek design. After weeks of testing, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, detailing both its impressive features and areas where it could improve.
The S3 boasts an impressive array of features. The 1.43-inch AMOLED display is bright and vibrant, even in direct sunlight. Navigation is intuitive, and the customizable watch faces offer a nice degree of personalization. The heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep tracking are all reasonably accurate, although I did notice occasional inconsistencies with the blood oxygen readings compared to a medical-grade device. The addition of a built-in GPS would have been a welcome addition, however it’s absence is not a major concern for many users.
The 5ATM water resistance is a definite plus, allowing for swimming and showering without worry. I tested this thoroughly, and the watch performed admirably. The Bluetooth calling functionality worked well, although audio quality wasn’t as crisp as a dedicated phone call. The fast charging is a welcome convenience, although the battery life falls slightly short of the advertised duration.
In terms of performance, the S3 performed admirably for everyday use. The responsiveness of the touchscreen was consistently good, and the various sensors generally provided accurate readings. The notification system worked flawlessly, pushing through alerts from my smartphone without delay. The battery life, while not quite as long as advertised, still managed to last a full day with moderate use, including some exercise tracking and notification checks. However, heavy use, including constant Bluetooth calling and GPS tracking (if it had been included) would likely significantly reduce battery longevity.
I found the fitness tracking features to be quite useful. The step counting and distance tracking are accurate, and the heart rate monitoring during workouts provided helpful data. The exercise modes are varied and cover most workout types.
Pros:
- Bright and vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED display
- Accurate heart rate and sleep tracking
- 5ATM water resistance
- Relatively fast charging
- Intuitive interface
Cons:
- Blood oxygen sensor accuracy could be improved
- Battery life slightly shorter than advertised
- Bluetooth calling audio quality could be better
- Lacks built-in GPS
Overall, the S3 M2323W1 is a solid smartwatch offering a good balance of features and performance. While it isn’t perfect, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses for most users. The AMOLED display, water resistance, and fitness tracking capabilities are all impressive. If you’re looking for a stylish and functional smartwatch without breaking the bank, the S3 is definitely worth considering. I would personally recommend this smartwatch for anyone looking for a reliable daily driver with a good fitness tracking feature set.
