This Samsung Gear S3 Frontier deal at Best Buy seems like a really good deal!  I've looked at this watch a number of times (mostly at Best Buy) but have never pulled the trigger.  From what I've seen, I really like it. There's a couple of reasons I haven't bought it. First is the cost. My last Smartwatch was the Verizon Wear24 watch and I got it for only $50.  My post on that is here.  My Verizon Wear24 has been running great.  So even though $200 for this watch is a great deal, I won't be getting it....I don't think. Second, I can't wear a smartwatch at work because I'm in a secure area and they don't allow it. And third, the Gear S3 Frontier doesn't run Wear OS by Google.  I'm not sure that's a big enough reason not to get it though.  Tizen OS, which is Samsung's OS for this watch, runs great as far as I can see.  It's very fast and smooth, and has plenty of features.
