The Samsung Gear S3 was released during the IFA 2016 event which was flocked by potential investors, enthusiasts and a whole bunch of other invited people. The event unveiled the much-improved version of the Gear S2. This puts Apple on a head on collision as it is the direct rival, thanks to its very own Apple Watch.
Samsung Gear S3 vs Apple Watch: Design and Display
Samsung improved its own smartwatch this 2016, and the S3 is available in two different versions, the Frontier and the Classic. The display is 1.3 inches and has a 360 x 360 display resolution and a 278 PPI density; a competitive one for a smart watch.
Despite the age of the Apple Watch, it is still considered to be a sleek and sexy thing, having a 1.65-inch screen and a 1.5-inch screen for the 42mm and 38mm models respectively, states Trusted Reviews. The Apple Watch also uses AMOLED technology, which makes it on par with the Samsung ones.

The Samsung Gear S3 features a signature rotating bezel which enables the user to take control of the device without needing to use the touchscreen. It is very handy in making it a more user-friendly smart watch. The Apple Watch doesn't have this, but the physical crown button acts as a good substitute.
Apple obviously has dominion when it comes to apps, but Samsung's Tizen is also constantly upgrading itself, possibly even surpassing the Apple Store.
